Filter by:The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness/meditation using the Headspace App on post-operative pain and opioid consumption in patients after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, biceps tenodesis, and Mumford procedures.
The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) augmented with REGENETEN in subjects requiring full-thickness rotator cuff tear repair or revision repair versus Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair alone.
The purpose of this study is to compare the functional outcomes of patients with shoulder pathology treated with either ketorolac or corticosteroid injections, in a randomized double-blinded study. Investigators will compare the effectiveness of ketorolac compared to corticosteroid. Specific Aim 1: Hypothesis 1: Injection of the shoulder (in the subacromial space) with Ketorolac will be more effective than corticosteroid injection for the treatment of a variety of shoulder pathologies. The risks associated with this study primarily concern adverse reactions to the study drugs. The drugs used in this study are not narcotics or habit-forming but can have side effects. The patient's physician will screen for any heart, intestinal, or kidney disease or condition that would increase the chance for the patient to have an unwanted side effect.
To report the outcomes of a series of patients with recurrent anterior and/or posterior shoulder instability who underwent surgical repair of the affected labrum using the SureLock all-suture anchor.
Subjects received perioperative hAMSC treatment in order to accelerate the healing of the surgically repaired rotator cuff and increase the mechanical properties of the tendon, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria (see below). Each patient will undergo post-operative follow-up at 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after the surgery. This will include a visual analogue score for pain (VAS), a questionnaire for the subjective Constant shoulder score, and the subjective questions of the University of California (UCLA) score. Preoperative and postoperative MRI at 12 months will be done to evaluate the quality of the rotator cuff repair.
Demonstrate that REGENETEN is superior to standard repair techniques when surgically treating high-grade (>50%) partial-thickness tears because REGENETEN preserves more of the native tendon footprint resulting in less postoperative pain and faster recovery.
This study was designed to compare the clinical outcomes of a mixed home-based rehabilitation program after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, incorporating face-to-face sessions as well as sessions performed with a novel digital kinematic biofeedback system against conventional in-person home-based rehabilitation, with the intent of reducing the need for face-to-face sessions. The investigators hypothesize that the clinical outcomes of such a program will be at least similar to those of conventional rehabilitation. Patients will be enrolled pre-operatively and then randomized into 2 groups: experimental group and conventional rehabilitation group. Both groups will perform a 12 to 16-week rehabilitation program starting immediately after surgery. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 8 and 12 weeks. In patients where a decision is made to extend the program to 16 weeks, another assessment will be made at this point.
The aim of this study is to investigate the early stage effectiveness of multimodal physical therapy with exercise in the conservative treatment of partial thickness rotator cuff tears.
The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography (US) in detecting full-thickness (a lesion that extends through both the bursal and articular part of the tendon) rotator cuff tear in patients who have sustained a proximal humerus fracture, using operative examination as the golden standard.
The primary objective of this study is to prospectively determine, at 12 months post-surgical repair of full thickness rotator cuff tears, the safety and efficacy of treating full thickness rotator cuff repairs with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). The hypothesis states that exposure to a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) following surgical repair of a full thickness rotator cuff tendon tear reduces tendon re-tear rates. The strength of the shoulder muscles and the levels of pain in subjects after surgical repair of their rotator cuff adjunctively treated with an active PEMF device will also be measured.
