Filter by:To compare two methods of post-operative pain management in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. There is a perception that the periarticular injections may not be as effective in controlling post-operative pain. Both methods are current standard of care. The investigators want to compare the outcomes of each when patients are randomized to one of the methods compared to the other method of post-operative pain control.
Partial or Total Knee Arthroplasty are procedures commonly used in severe degeneration of the knee joint due to osteoarthritis. With an increasing number of Partial or Total Knee Arthroplasty performed in a population that is aging during a time where the amount of healthcare dollars allotted to rehabilitation is declining, there is a need to develop remote monitoring of rehabilitation and to engage and optimize self-management of recovery. Current management of Partial or Total Knee Arthroplasty recovery is typically performed in the out-patient setting and is highly protocol driven. A typical case might be seen by the physical therapist 2-3x/week for 8-10 weeks to perform specific exercises and to monitor progress (i.e. compliance with ROM and strengthening exercises). One recent study suggested that variation in patients' independent exercise and activity after arthroplasty surgery may contribute to variable functional gains. The investigators are proposing that the StepRite device developed by MedHab, (a shoe insert that collects functional data) will reduce cost and improve the efficacy of rehabilitation in total knee arthroplasty patients
The primary objective is to investigate the active extension six months after implantation of the CapFlex-PIP© arthroplasty, comparing the dorsal with the volar approach. This is a randomized controlled trial including 70 patients with PIP OA indicated for CapFlex arthroplasty.
This is a randomized study investigating whether identification, ligation, and burial of superficial branches of the saphenous nerve crossing the surgical field during total knee arthroplasty reduces the rate of post-operative anterior knee pain and neuralgia compared to standard total knee arthroplasty.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, safety, and tolerability of VM902A twice daily compared to placebo in subjects with moderate to severe chronic pain due to OA of the knee.
The primary objective of the study is to determine how the short-term outcome of subjects implanted with the JOURNEY™ II BCS Total Knee System compares to subjects implanted with other PS total knee systems, and to determine if there is a difference in health care resources consumed that may result in economic savings to patients, the facility and/or the payer. To address the study objectives, patient self-assessment questionnaires, and other objective measures of post-operative function and health care resource utilization will be used for data collection.
Nearly one out of every two Americans will develop knee osteoarthritis by age 85. Over 20 million Americans, including nearly three million Veterans, currently have painful knee arthritis that limits their daily activity or recreation. The vast majority of those individuals will be prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs that provide some pain relief but do not slow the progression of the disease. Often people with knee arthritis are told they must live with the pain until they become appropriate candidates for knee replacement surgery, but that can require tolerating the pain and limiting function for many years. Because of other health issues, some individuals are never acceptable surgery candidates. What is desperately needed are better conservative approaches for treating these patients. Two such approaches will be tested and compared in this study.
This study is being done to determine the effectiveness of MONOVISC for the relief of pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis of the hip. Specifically, the study will determine if MONOVISC is more effective than a placebo treatment when delivered as intra-articular injections (injected directly into the hip joint). In this case, the placebo will be a dilute solution of salt water (saline).
A prospective, randomised controlled trial evaluating Total Knee Replacement with the Stryker Triathlon Primary Total Knee System, compared to Bicompartmental Knee Replacement with Restoris MCK Multicompartmental Knee System performed using Stryker's Robotic-arm assisted surgery system, Mako.
The objective of the Latella-US study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Latella Knee Implant System for the reduction of medial osteoarthritis pain.
