Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of adding a single shot parasacral (sciatic) nerve block to a continuous lumbar plexus block in patients undergoing total hip replacement.
The purpose of this study is to obtain patient-oriented and clinically-oriented physical function outcomes both pre-operatively and post-operatively in patients receiving a total knee arthroplasty .
It is a non-randomized, consecutive enrollment, 10-year follow-up study of patients who are treated with the Ascension® HRA. Its purpose is to measure and document the outcomes associated with implanting the Ascension HRA prosthesis. Patients will be periodically assessed to collect data related to safety and effectiveness endpoints at the following intervals: preoperative, surgery/immediate post-op, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 year, and 10 years.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and technical feasibility of implanting the Latella Implant System in the treatment of patients with medial osteoarthritis of the knee.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a wearable therapeutic ultrasound device to reduce pain and increase mobility for subjects with knee osteoarthritis.
This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm feasibility study of the safety and performance of the GRADION™ Hip Total Cartilage Replacement (TCR)™ in patients who require cartilage replacement.
The purpose of the current study is to validate the technology of MRI-based alignment for total knee replacements and to collect data on potential advantages of the computer aided system. 1. It is hypothesized that there will be no significant differences in position, loosening, or function of the Visionaire total knee as compared to the conventional total knee. 2. It is hypothesized that the Visionaire total knee will be significantly better with regard to operative time, tourniquet time, blood loss, and procedural set-up, turnover time, and overall costs.
The purpose of this prospective data collection is to track patients who are treated at HSS who are confirmed with knee osteoarthritis. The registry will collect prospective patient related and functional outcomes (including use of assistive devices), medication use and imaging data on patients with confirmed osteoarthritis, and the effect of different medical interventions that include PRP, Synvisc / Orthovisc /Euflexxa, bracing, suggested exercises, supplements, and diet. Information from the data collection will be used to compare outcomes of non-surgical alternatives with the end point being knee arthroplasty. The information results will enhance our knowledge of the long-term efficacy and effectiveness of non-surgical interventions intended to treat the progression of osteoarthritis. Hypotheses: - Different non-surgical interventions such as PRP, Synvisc®, Orthrovisc®, Euflexxa, bracing, physical therapy, and a prescribed combination of exercise, diet, and supplements will demonstrate statistically significant differences in patient pain and functional outcomes compared to usual interventions including use of NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, and use of assistive devices such as canes. - Non-operative interventions for knee osteoarthritis will be associated with different rates of breakdown of articular cartilage and different rates of progression of osteoarthritis as evidenced by MRI or joint space narrowing on standing knee films? - Education about available non-operative treatment methods may change time the end point of total or partial knee replacement for patients with knee osteoarthritis of varying severity. - Different non-operative interventions will be associated with different times to total or partial knee arthroplasty in patient with knee osteoarthritis of similar severity. - An electronic data capture system (EDC) for osteoarthritis patients will improve patient care and patient outcomes.
This study is looking at whether virtual reality combined with pain coping skills training helps reduce pain in people who suffer from OA of the knee. Eligible participants will be asked to come into the study offices for one visit where they will fill out a couple of questionnaires, do some low impact performance tasks and be taught pain coping skills while looking into a 3D virtual reality viewer.
This study compares intraoperative fit of the patient-specific iTotal knee replacement to other standard knee replacement implants
