Filter by:The aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a RCT whose topic would be the effect of a motor imagery program on the postural control in persons who have undergone ACL plasty.
The primary objective is to compare the two different rehabilitation protocols relative motion flexion and short splint regarding patients'satisfaction in patients with flexor tendon injuries in Zone I and II after 13 and 26 weeks post-surgery.
An adequate balance between analgesia and motor function is an essential requirement to facilitate functional recovery and early discharge after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Proximal nerve blocks (i.e. femoral and sciatic nerve blocks) are associated with optimal analgesia, but they can cause muscle weakness, interfering with rehabilitation and increasing the risk of falls . A recent randomized controlled trial concluded that, compared to mid-and distal ACB, a distal femoral triangle block (FTB) is associated with lower opioid consumption and improved postoperative analgesia for ambulatory ACL reconstruction. In ACL reconstruction surgery there are other potential sources of pain not covered by a FTB, such as intra-articular structures (menisci, cruciate ligaments), posterior knee capsule and the graft donor site. Evidence supporting the addition of an IPACK block to a FTB has been studied for patients undergoing total knee replacement, nonetheless, there is no trial analyzing the analgesic contribution of IPACK to a FTB in the context of ACL reconstruction surgery. In this multicentric trial, the investigators set out to analyze the analgesic benefit of adding an IPACK block to a FTB.
Aortic aneurysm is a very common incidental finding in the diagnostic imaging of the chest. It is especially common in middle aged men (up to 40 %). It is called as a silent killer, since it can lead to aortic dissection and rupture without pre-existing symptoms. Mortality of rupture can be up to 50 %. This is why it causes extensive human uncertainty and fear. Currently, there are no methods to identify the high risk patients. That leads to a practice where all patients are followed with repeated aortic imaging using expensive methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography. There is data, that modern 4D flow MRI parameters well describe the intra-aortic flow conditions. This prospective clinical trial explore the value of 4D flow MRI parameters in the prediction of aortic dilatation and rupture. The trial consists of three subtrials in whitch the 4D flow MRI parameters are tested in clinical practice.
Over the course of a year from the start of the research study, twenty subjects will be randomized evenly into one of two groups after an informed consent is obtained: a traditional tight rope fixation group or a tight rope fixation with an anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) repair augmentation with an internal brace group. Subjects in both groups will acquire a bilateral WBCT pre-operatively and 6 weeks post-operatively at Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists office. A within group statistical analyses will compare the volume of the syndesmosis acquired by the WBCT at 6 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to review the clinical outcomes following hand ligament reconstruction surgery using allograft (cadaveric) knee collateral ligaments. Currently, there is no standard procedure or devices used for hand ligament reconstruction surgery, although most techniques use some form of autograft (patients' own tissue) for the reconstruction. We believe that the use of allograft ligaments in reconstruction may eliminate the pain associated with procuring the patients' own tissue for the procedure, and prove to be a viable and preferred alternative to the multiple techniques currently used. The main procedures of this study include wrist and hand ligament reconstruction surgery (for wrist scapholunate (SL) ligaments, thumb ulnar collateral ligaments (UCL), and finger proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint collateral ligaments) using allograft ligament, and subsequent follow up appointments where measurements and questionnaires will be completed to evaluate how hand function is doing after surgery.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a frequently performed surgical procedure to stabilize the knee joint biomechanically. At the same time, one of the goals is to improve clinical outcomes and return the patient to their daily life as early and ready as possible, as well as to sports activities. Remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is one of the reconstruction approaches that aim to achieve these goals earlier and more safely than the standard surgical procedure. However, there is no consensus in the literature regarding the effects of remnant-preserving ACL reconstruction on clinical outcomes and its superiority over the standard surgical procedure. Therefore, the aim of our study is to compare the proprioception and functionality of patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with the remnant-preserving approach, by classifying them according to stump size.
Stent treatment of thoracic aortic pathologies, including aneurysms, pseudo-aneurysms, dissections, intramural hematomas, penetrating ulcers and ruptures of the isthmus, seems to provide a likely benefit compared to surgery in terms of surgical mortality and severe morbidity. However, the data concerning the long-term fate of these stents are insufficient. For this reason, the French National Health Authority (HAS) requests a 5-year follow-up in relation to the renewal of insurance reimbursement for these stent-grafts. Therefore, this long-term observational study has been set up.
The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes, ease of use, and cost of the Werewolf FLOW50 device to the institutional standard of care which is does not include the use of electrocautery devices during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery in patients 12-18 years of age using a randomized control trial design. The investigators hypothesize that a lower proportion of participants who undergo ACLR and are randomized to the Werewolf FLOW50 procedure will experience post-operative arthrofibrosis compared to those randomized to standard of care (control group).
Genomes of all sports medicine-related genes will be exome sequenced to find relevant gene mutations. To further study the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways related to sports injury. To search for genetic risk factors of injury and put forward related scientific hypotheses. To demonstrate the importance of mutation or polymorphism of related genes in injury.
