The goal of this study is to perform a feasibility study to show the effectiveness of the genicular artery embolization procedure in reducing bilateral or unilateral osteoarthritic knee pain at 12 months as measured by WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) score, and Oswestry Disability Index.
Many individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) (up to 45%) are referred to an orthopaedic surgeon for a joint replacement prematurely or will not be candidates for surgery. These individuals need appropriate (non-operative) care to help reduce their pain and enhance their mobility. We are studying the use of innovative technology to help physicians give physical activity advice for patients to become more active and provide free online resources to help patients understand OA self-management and exercise, especially when they have barriers to accessing formal care. Individuals with OA that are referred to a specialized clinic will receive one of three interventions: usual care (handout on resources), a physical activity prescription by a doctor, or the prescription and a link to a free web-based platform (website) on non-operative management of OA with patient education and exercise videos. Our goal is to help with non-operative management strategies to improve quality of life, reduce pain, improve mobility, and possibly delay or prevent a joint replacement. Osteoarthritis is a condition where people feel joint pain or stiffness. Joints are the body parts where two bones join together with softer material (cartilage) between them. In osteoarthritis, this cartilage wears down. It is the biggest cause for disability worldwide. Helping people with osteoarthritis starts with education, physical activity, and physiotherapy. Doctors can also prescribe braces, injections or medications. For severe osteoarthritis when nothing else helps, surgery can be done to replace the joint. Doctors often refer patients for surgery too soon. Skipping steps of care may mean unnecessary surgery and longer wait times. The Musculoskeletal Rapid Access Clinic (now called Clinic) in London was set up to solve these problems. They screen patients before referring them to a surgeon, and do not refer almost half of patients. Our goal is to support these patients with new ways to make their non-surgical treatment better. The first way is through physical activity 'prescription'. It works well for other chronic conditions and patients say it helps. We don't know how well it works for people with osteoarthritis. Most doctors have little time, training or experience for prescribing physical activity. Technology can make it easier for doctors and patients. We have designed a tool to help doctors prescribe physical activity and a smartphone app to track patient activity. We have also created a free website. This includes patient education, exercise videos, and virtual physiotherapy. This can be important for individuals who can't access in-person care.
Navio is a new generation of computer navigation systems allowing intraoperative navigation of the bone cuts relative to both ligaments and skeletal axes, prior to bone removal. An improved accuracy is incorporated by the use of robotics in a burr for bone removal. This study investigates whether this advanced technology leads to better clinical or radiostereometric results, by comparing one group operated with Navio to another group operated with conventional technique.
This study aims to compare the clinical results of postoperative wound between Dermabond PRINEO™(2-octyl Cyanoacrylate adhesive and polyester mesh) and subcuticular suture in simultaneous total knee arthroplasty There is previous studies over whether or not to use skin adhesive material is superior or inferior to subcuticular suture This study prospectively randomized patients receiving bilateral total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Patients preference and clinical results was investigated in both knee of same patients who received skin adhesive or subcuticular suture in each knee.
The study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the Tui-na and oral Chinese medicine on the treatment of KOA. This is a prospective, randomized wait-list controlled trial in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). After 2 weeks screening period, eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to the treatment group and wait-list control group in 1:1 ratio. Subjects will have 4-week of treatment, and then a 4-week follow-up.
The purpose of this follow-up study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous Adipose Tissue derived Mesenchymal stem cells (JOINTSTEM®) in patient with severe Knee Osteoarthritis.
The mobile bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has shown excellent clinical outcome and survivorship. However, some studies have shown that the patients still had medial knee pain and shown worst the clinical outcome, even though the survivorship was excellent. The medial knee pain after operation was the one cause of revision. The incidence of medial knee pain was 0%-9%. The cause of medial knee pain was overloading on the medial plateau, local inflammation, over hanging of the tibial component and overstretching of the MCL due to the application of excessive polyethylene. Therefore, the tibia in this study was cut with under resection technique for reducing the overloading on the medial tibial plateau. The purpose of this study is to compare medial knee pain between tibial bone cut preservation technique and conventional tibial bone cut technique following mobile bearing UKA.
This study seeks to examine multiple risk factors as predictors of pain and function following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Risk factors will be measured pre-surgically using psychophysical testing procedures, multimodal evaluation of sleep, standardized questionnaires. Additionally, this study will collect pilot data on a brief mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral treatment that may help to improve long-term TKA outcomes. The pilot study compared TKA patients that received brief mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MBCBT) to the treatment-as-usual (TAU) group from the parent study.
MicroPort (MPO) is conducting this PMCF study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of its EVOLUTION® BIOFOAM® Tibia and EVOLUTION® Cruciate Sacrificing/Cruciate Retaining (CS/CR) Porous Femur components, including EVOLUTION® CS tibial inserts. This type of study is required by regulatory authorities for all devices that have been approved in Europe to evaluate the medium and long-term clinical evidence.
