Filter by:The AIR Study is a multi-center, prospective, interventional clinical trial with the objective to evaluate the safety and performance of the Trammpolin® meniscus prosthesis system.
Hypothesis: Ketorolac injection is a cost-effective adjunct in the nonoperative treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) compared to steroids and viscosupplementation. Aims/objectives: The objective of this randomized, controlled, double-blinded, prospective study is to assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of knee injection with ketorolac in the nonsurgical management of symptomatic OA compared to injections with corticosteroids and viscosupplements.
This study is designed to better understand the effect of Kinesio Taping applied using the Neurotaping technique on patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty surgery. Patients will be randomized in two groups: in the first group patients will follow a protocol of usual rehabilitation, while the second group will do the same but add the Kinesio Taping application. Main outcome will be the effect on edema, secondary outcome the effect on functionality after 13 days post surgery.
The study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled consecutive cohort post-market clinical follow-up study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective intraarticular steroid dose for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The investigators aim to randomize patients into low, medium, and high dose groups of injectable corticosteroids as these doses are typically used in the standard of care for our patients. To date there has been no study to evaluate which dose is most efficient with the fewest side effects for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The investigators objective will be to provide ultrasound guided intraarticular glenohumeral injections of these randomized concentrations and to evaluate pain and function before and following injection with the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). The investigators hypothesize that the low dose steroid will provide equivalent improvement of the pain and function to the medium and high doses, while minimizing side effects.
This study aims to compare clinical and functional outcomes of a cohort of patients that have undergone a medial congruent TKR to a similar cohort of patients that have undergone a conventional TKR and a cohort of control participants. Our null hypothesis is that there will be no difference in the functional outcome (as assessed by gait analysis) between Attune and Persona MC TKR.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability around the world. The aging population is only further increasing its prevalence. Moreover, increasing rates of obesity, as well as increasing athletic participation, is leading to patients developing OA at younger ages. Although total joint replacement is effective for alleviating the effects of OA for many patients, it is less beneficial for younger patients given the resultant reduced mobility and the ~15 year life of a total joint replacement. Therefore, new options are needed for OA. One such option is bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injection into the diseased joint. Several recent studies have shown significant symptomatic improvement from this therapy. Now, efforts are needed to better understand how to optimize this therapy, as numerous variables are involved, including: the volume of aspirate, adjuvant, aspiration location or locations, anesthetic, etc. Additionally, several FDA-approved needles are available for the aspiration step. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare two different styles of FDA-approved needles--an open-ended trocar vs. a fenestrated blunt trocar--with respect to clinical outcomes, cell counts, and colony forming units. In addition to the comparison arms, taking these two groups together, this study will serve as prospective case series of 30 patients undergoing BMAC injection for knee osteoarthritis without a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or any other adjuvant/carrier.
A prospective, randomised controlled trial where clinical and radiological outcome of high tibial opening wedge osteotomy with physiotherapy is compared to physiotherapy alone while treating symptomatic medial knee osteoarthrosis.
This study is designed to observe clinical outcomes of patient-specific knee arthroplasty in patients with osteoarthritis of the medial condyle.
This study is a multi-center, prospective, non-controlled post-market surveillance study. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the CLS Brevius stem with Kinectiv technology by obtaining implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for the commercially available stem.
