Filter by: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.
The main purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) on the healing process after a rotator cuff repair procedure.
The purpose of the study is to compare the differences in outcome between the traditional rotator cuff repair surgery and rotator cuff repair with suprascapular nerve decompression surgery.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the result of combined sono-guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) and axillary nerve block (ANB) with isolated SSNB in postoperative pain following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Our hypothesis was that SSNB combined ANB would show a more effective anesthesia for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair as compared with SSNB only. Methods: Forty-two patients with rotator cuff tear who had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled in this study. Among them, 21 patients were randomly allocated into group I, and received SSNB and ANB with each 10mL ropivacaine. The other 21 patients were allocated into group II, and received SSNB with 10mL ropivacaine and ANB with 10mL normal saline. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score, patient's satisfaction (SAT), and Lateral Pain Index (LPI), etc was checked at postoperative 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 hours.
The purpose of this project is to compare operative repair of traumatically torn rotator cuff tendon with physiotherapy in a randomized prospective study.
Most arthroscopic surgeries of the shoulder are currently performed as an outpatient. The postoperative analgesia should be optimal. General anesthesia allows for any arthroscopic surgery but does not provide a satisfactory postoperative analgesia . The locoregional anesthesia is recommended and includes several techniques: the interscalene nerve block, the suprascapular nerve block, intra-articular injection of local anesthetic and subacromial infiltration. The interscalene nerve block is currently the gold standard for anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for arthroscopic shoulder surgery with a success rate above 80% . However it must be carried out by teams experienced in the locoregional anesthesia because it is operator -dependent. The suprascapular nerve block is a simple technique that can be performed by the surgeon after surgery , effective in arthroscopic shoulder surgery , less invasive than the interscalene nerve block and exposing the patient to fewer complications. However, his interest was not assessed in the repair of tendons of the rotator cuff. The main hypothesis of this study is that the suprascapular nerve block is as effective as the interscalene nerve block in the prevention of early postoperative pain after arthroscopic repair of the infra and / or the supraspinatus rotator cuff tendons, without increasing the analgesic consumption while reducing the risk of complications related to regional anesthesia.
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.
This Clinical Trial is being conducted to study an adjunctive treatment for rotator cuff repair; bone trephination."Trephination" is a procedure that involves making small perforations in the bone that the tendon is repaired to.The rotator cuff is repaired by sewing the tendon down to the bone in the shoulder. Trephination is a new technique that is used in addition to the standard method of repairing the rotator cuff tendon. The control group will undergo the standard repair for rotator cuff tears. It is the investigators' hypothesis that healing rates in patients who undergo bone trephination will be higher compared with surgery without trephination in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at 24 months post-operatively.
