Filter by:A new postoperative regimen with a new bandage technique after surgery results in a better shoulder function and quality of life after surgery - than traditional postoperative regimen with shoulder lock and abductor cushion.
This is a post-marketing study to further assess the safety and effectiveness of the InSpace™ in the study population in comparison to surgical RCT repair.
The study objective is to assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of the InSpace™ Device implantation in a surgical procedure under local anesthesia using arthroscopic and/or fluoroscopic visualization of the affected shoulder.
Objective: The investigators aimed to compare the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and interferential currents (IC) to improve shoulder functionality and to reduce perceived pain in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Design: Thirty-six patients with unilateral shoulder pain and diagnosed as having SIS were randomly assigned into two groups: TENS (n=18; 51±7 years) and IC (n=18; 47±6 years). Patients in both groups received fifteen 30-min sessions of the assigned treatment for a period of 3 weeks. Before and after the treatment, shoulder pain was measured using a 100-mm visual analog scale and shoulder functionality was measured using the Constant-Murley scale.

Rotator cuff tears (injury to the muscle or tendons which stabilise the shoulder) are one of the most common conditions affecting the shoulder. Small and medium sized rotator cuff tears can be managed with arthroscopic or keyhole surgery. Very large or massive tears are difficult to operate on and often have poor rates of healing. As a result surgeons have investigated the use of products to improve the outcome of surgery on massive tears. The product that the investigators are currently using to try to improve the outcome of surgery for massive rotator cuff tears is called a patch. The patch provides a scaffold to support the muscles of the rotator cuff. Studies of rotator cuff surgery using similar patches have found that recovery is improved and there is a lower rate of postsurgical problems. The aim of this study is to look at whether using the patch improves pain and the clinical function of the shoulder after surgery. In addition, the investigators would like to understand how the patch works. To do this the investigators will scan (take images of) the shoulder using magnetic resonance imaging to look at the muscle damage in the shoulder before and after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of allogeneic PRP in patients with subacromial impingement disease
The investigators hypothesize that the use of an allograft adjuvant to partial repair will lead to improved shoulder outcome measure scores compared to partial repair alone in massive rotator cuff tears.
The purpose of this study is to compare the quality and duration of pain relief after shoulder surgery provided by a single injection of liposomal bupivacaine versus standard bupivacaine when administered as an interscalene brachial plexus block. It is hypothesized that the liposomal bupivacaine formulation will provide more effective pain relief than standard bupivacaine.
This study compares costs and effectiveness / utility of three common orthopedic surgeries in shoulder and hand from the perspective of the Swiss health system and the clinic. The cost of health care is continuously rising, making economic considerations part of the decision process, in particular for the allocation of available resources. However, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility studies of interventions in the upper extremities are rare. The purpose of this study is to gain more information and to provide a basis for the decision process.
