This study is designed to monitor long term clinical outcomes of the iUni G2+ unicompartmental knee replacement
This study is designed to observe the long term clinical outcomes of patient-specific knee arthroplasty in patients with osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a degenerative joint disease that involves degradation of the joint. Symptoms include joint tenderness, pain, stiffness, locking, and occasionally an effusion. Over 40 million Americans also have cardiovascular disease in addition to their OA. Initiation and maintenance of even low-levels of physical activity is critical for management of cardiac risk. Patients with osteoarthritis have been shown to have poorer aerobic conditioning, lower daily physical activity levels and lower self-efficacy for exercise than non-OA cohorts. It has been established that there exists a consistent gradient across activity groups indicating greater longevity and reduced risk of CHD, CVD, and stroke, in more active individuals. Available research suggests the greatest gains in cardiovascular fitness occur in moving a sedentary individual to even low levels of physical activity, and 12 weeks is enough to demonstrate change in the risk profile of at-risk individuals. Finally, appropriate levels of aerobic and strength training have been shown to be beneficial in treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of hylan G-F 20 (single injection preparation) in promoting greater levels of physical activity and fitness as measured by MET level compared to an exercise-only cohort; evaluating both the change in physical function as well as the cardiovascular risk profile. This is a randomized, single-blinded clinical trial comparing injection of the knee joint with Hylan GF-20 to sham procedure. Subjects will undergo a regular exercise program for 6 months following randomization.
A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Study comparing the Safety and Effectiveness of Arthrex's Eclipse™ Shoulder to the Univers™ II Shoulder Prosthesis in patients with a degenerative joint disease.
This study will compare alignment criteria in the Oxford Partial Knee using conventional instrumentation and Signature Custom Guides in order to determine if the use of the Signature Custom Guides results in a higher percentage of knees achieving optimal alignment. The study will also examine outcomes with high volume surgeons (>30 cases/year) and low volume surgeons (<10 cases/year).
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a single intra-articular injection of Durolane 4.5 mL is superior to a single injection of PBS 4.5 mL for the relief of joint pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
This will be an open-label, non-randomized, multi-center, patient sponsored study of Adipose-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction (AD-SVF) implantation performed intra-articularly to affected joints. The intent of this clinical study is to answer the questions: 1) Is the proposed treatment safe and 2) Is treatment effective in improving the disease pathology of patients with diagnosed Osteoarthritis.
To assess the pain scores before and after saphenous nerve block placement in patients with degenerative joint disease of the ankle
This study is intended to gather medium (0-5 years) and long-term (6-10 years) information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available Ceramax™ Ceramic on Ceramic Total Hip System. This is a two-phased study consisting of a clinical follow-up phase and a clinical outcomes phase. In Phase One (0-5 years), diagnostic, demographic and operative information will be gathered for each subject enrolled in this study. In addition, Harris Hip Evaluations, subjective evaluations and radiographs will be completed annually. In Phase Two (6 - 10 years), a subjective outcomes questionnaire and a SF-12 Health Survey will be mailed to subjects annually.
