Filter by:The hip prosthesis market is constantly growing with the number of prostheses reaching 949,000 in 2019. Along with this, there is also an increase in interest in short stems also called shortened stems. Thus on Pubmed, in 5 years, 171 publications have been listed. Thus, it seems interesting to study and analyze the performance of the shortened stem used in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of the University Hospitals of Strasbourg and to compare them with the results of the literature.
This study aims to demonstrate, during the first standard surgical management of patients with stage II MRONJ, the effect of the implantation of a cryopreserved hAM on the maxillomandibular bone, on the healing of the oral mucosa.
The objective of this study is to collect and evaluate long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes data in order to better understand the safety and performance of the shoulder arthroplasty over time. This study will follow subjects long-term for a minimum of 10-years, without an early-term restriction on the amount of time they will be followed.
This clinical study is a Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) measure and is aiming to compare the in-vivo wear behaviour of the Columbus® total knee prosthesis between the standard Cobalt Chromium (CoCr) and the multilayer coated so called "Advanced Surface" (AS) of the same implant. The clinical investigation is designed as a International, prospective, longterm non-interventional study in order to gain clinical data of many patients within the routine clinical application of the investigational device.
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Avenir Complete femoral stem and its instrumentation when used in primary total, hemi, and revision hip arthroplasty.
This study will evaluate clinical outcome on patients who undergo ceramic on ceramic (CoC) bearing total hip arthroplasty (THA) using Delta TT cup.
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious complication in patients receiving antiresorptive therapies, such as Bisphosphonates and Denosumab. It is defined by the presence of exposed bone or a fistula that probes bone in the jaws for a period greater than 8 weeks in patient with a history of current or past antiresorptive or antiangiogenic treatment, and in the absence of prior radiotherapy or maxillary bone metastases. Depending on the severity of the disease 4 stages are described. On the other hand, although the presence of alterations in the levels of certain biomarkers in saliva has been documented in patients with MRONJ compared to healthy patients, its applicability in clinical practice is still unknown. Until recently, the status quo favored the adoption of a conservative strategy (non-surgical) for the initial management of patients with stage I and II. However, in recent years, this paradigm has been challenged by multiple authors who report better and more predictable outcomes with surgical treatment. Based on the hypothesis that patients with MRONJ stage I and II subjected to initial surgical treatment have better results than those undergoing conservative (non-surgical) treatment, te research group has designed a unicentric, quasi-experimental clinical trial where the clinical and radiological outcome at the third month of 2 groups of patients with stages I and II MRONJ undergoing non-surgical treatment (Group 1 / control) versus initial surgical treatment (Group 2 / intervention) will be compared. Also, the investigators hypothesize that the patients with complete resolution of the disease will also normalize salivary biomarkers levels unlike those with stable or progressive disease, meaning there is a correlation between clinical and biochemical response. Accordingly, the levels of specific salivary biomarkers at baseline and at the third month will be determined and compared with the clinical outcome. After enrollment patients will be instructed and offered both treatment strategies, and assigned to the corresponding group according to their choice. Patients in group 1 (non-surgical) will receive traditional conservative treatment while patients undergoing surgical treatment will receive the same guidelines of conservative treatment plus surgery according to a specific surgical protocol.
BETCON is a pragmatic randomized controlled open-label multi-center study in patients with newly diagnosed stage I-II MRONJ designed to answer the question whether minimally invasive management with LPRF membranes or primary surgical treatment is better than the standard of care of conservative therapy alone. The primary end-point is the time to mucosal healing. Secondary end-points consist of supporting measures of efficacy, patient reported symptoms, quality of life, well-being, and functioning.
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures to effectively relieve pain and restore function in patients with hip osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis of femoral head and hip fracture.The Lumbar Plexus Block (LPB) is currently used as the standard regional anesthesia technique to provide postoperative pain management after THA. The lumbar plexus (LP) originates from T12 to L5. In general, multiple-needle nerve blockade procedure is needed to block different branches of LP. Therefore, we need more time to finish the regional anethesia procedure and it's not easy for an inexperienced anesthesiologist to master the technique absolutely. In addition, multiple injections will increase the discomfort of the patients. We aim to investigate the effects of lumbar plexus combined with quadratus lumborum block using single-needle technique with Shamrock method as an alternative regional anesthesia.
Surgical reconstruction to restore oral function and aesthetics after major ablative surgery in the oral cavity forms a challenge to maxillofacial surgeons, and greatly impacts patient' quality of life (QOL). The "Oncological-bridge (O-bridge®)" protocol, which offers (immediate/delayed) fixed prosthetic rehabilitation in a minimum of sessions and a strongly reduced two-week treatment time.
