Filter by:Sponsor is conducting this post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its EVOLUTION® Revision CCK Tibia and EVOLUTION® Revision CCK Femur with EVOLUTION® CCK Tibial inserts. These type of studies are required by regulatory authorities for all devices that have been approved in Europe (EU) to evaluate the medium and long term clinical evidence. This study has been designed in accordance with MEDDEV2.12/2 rev 2 (European Medical Device Vigilance System) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 14155:2011 guidelines.
Tourniquet use during total knee replacement (TKR) improves visibility, significantly decreases intra-operative blood loss and reduce operative time. However, tourniquet use also has a negative effect on postoperative pain, postoperative range of motion(ROM), wound complication, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), thigh muscle strength, and functional recovery after TKR. Therefore, the investigators conducted a three-arm prospective, randomized, controlled trial study to compare the efficacy of different tourniquet pressure used between systolic blood pressure + 75 mmHg, systolic blood pressure + 100 mmHg, and systolic blood pressure + 150 mmHg.
The purpose of the present study is to determine if a standard humeral cut using a fixed neck shaft angled prosthesis for patients undergoing anatomic TSA is able to restore normal glenohumeral relationships as compared to a variable neck shaft angle prosthesis.
This post-market follow-up study investigates improvement in clinical and radiological outcome after reversed total shoulder arthroplasty with the patient-specific Glenius Glenoid Reconstruction system
PURPOSE: To compare the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pain, physical function, quality of life and knee joint morphology in patients with knee osteoarthritis severity II-III. BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis affects quality of life significantly because it is the most common joint disease and causes considerable disability. Pathogenesis is multifactorial, nevertheless reduced cartilage production, increased destruction, and synovial inflammation are important factors in the osteoarthritis process. Today, symptomatic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, but these treatments have limited effects on cartilage degeneration. Intraarticularly, hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments have been used for osteoarthritis due to pain and functional effects. HA has been shown to reduce the levels of collagen degradation products and maintain normal cartilage metabolism. PRP is thought to have positive effects on clinical and tissue healing due to the numerous growth factors involved. However there is no research to prove definitively that one of the two applications in knee osteoarthritis is superior to the other. METHOD: 120 patients between the ages of 50-70, OA severity II-III will be included in the study. Patients will be stratified according to the severity and age of OA, and two groups will be randomly assigned as HA and PRP. HA and PRP injections will be performed two times and one month apart. Outcome measures are pain, physical function, quality of life, muscle strength, WORMS, and patient satisfaction. Each patient will be examined at baseline, first, third, sixth, ninth and twelfth months.
To evaluate a new, low intensity ultrasound device in the treatment of chronic pain due to osteoarthritis in the knee. Enhancing CBD oil penetration into joints by sonophoresis.
The purpose of this study is to follow the patient's short term and long term clinical outcome after undergoing joint replacement surgery.
This study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled clinical outcome study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate improvement of pain score at one year for the Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder. The secondary objective is collection of long term clinical outcomes.
The social impact of degenerative diseases such as articular cartilage pathology and osteoarthritis (OA) is steadily increasing, because of the continued rise in the mean age of the active population. A variety of noninvasive solutions have been proposed for pain treatment, improvement in function and disability, and ultimately, modification of the course of severe cartilage lesions and OA, with variable success rates. Intra articular and genicular nerves radiofrequency (RF) is a minimally invasive technique that usually aims at the neuropathic pain. One important mechanism for the chronic pain mediated by OA is peripheral sensitization, which increases the transmission of pain signals. Through conduction block in pain-transmitting nerve fibers by thermal damage, RF could ease pain without destroying the antennal nerve. The role of growth factors (GFs) in chondral repair is now widely investigated in vitro and in vivo. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a simple, low cost, and minimally invasive method that allows one to obtain from the blood a natural concentrate of autologous GFs.
The purpose of this study is verify the efficacy and safety of Cettum (Electric moxibustion) for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
