Filter by:Incident rates of ACL rupture are greatest in 16-39 year olds at almost 1 in 1,000. Performance Based Investigations (PBIs) can be used to evaluate and select correct approaches to patient treatment, and biochemical, biomechanical and physiological biomarkers in other conditions are sensitive in distinguishing between disease state severities, type of injuries and responsiveness to treatment. Despite the measurement sensitivity of PBIs, these are not widely used possibly owing to their focus postoperatively where benefits are less worthwhile. This study aims to investigate novel biomarkers as performance based investigations (PBIs) to improve surgical and treatment strategies in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) patients. The objectives are to identify whether biomarkers, collected before and after operations, can: 1) Assist the surgeon in decision making; 2) Lead to improved prognosis; 3) Be used to predict the outcomes of prognosis, and; 4) Correlate with disease signs/ smoking to help further understand ACL injuries.
This is a French Registry mandated by the French National Health Authority assessing long-term (5-years) safety of the GORE® TAG® Thoracic Endoprosthesis treating diseases of the thoracic aorta.
Horizontal meniscus tears meeting specified criteria will be repaired by any commonly used suture technique. Subjects will be followed for 2 years to evaluate the effectiveness of the repair, by assessing the re-operation rate, and by assessing improvements in knee pain and knee function.
Specific objectives include analysis of performance of ROM Plus® in diagnosing ROM, as compared to Amnisure® and the conventional clinical assessment confirmed by a thorough chart review after delivery. Inclusion Criteria: - English speaking - pregnant woman >15 weeks gestation undergoing an exam for ruptured membranes Exclusion Criteria: - Known placental previa - Active vaginal bleeding
A prospective clinical research is to assess the prevalence of implant rupture and presence of extracapsular gel in an un-referred population of women who have been implanted with the Silimed gel-filled mammary implants with or without any local or systemic systemic symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Ligamys technique for the treatment of acute ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament in a multicenter routine clinical setting. To conduct a long-term follow-up of the case series as a post-market product surveillance endeavor.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in muscle strength after anterior cruciate ligament comparing 2 surgery technics. Using either autograft hamstrings tendon or a autograft quadriceps tendon.
With this project the investigators wish to: 1. Test the reproducibility of Amlang's ultrasound classification by examining the intra- and inter-rater reliability. 2. Investigate whether Amlang's ultrasound classification is able to predict which patients are likely to develop complications when treated non-operatively. 3. Investigate whether Barfod's length measurement is able to predict which patients are likely to develop complications when treated non-operatively.
The study is a prospective randomized controlled non-inferiority trial where we elucidate the role of postoperative immobilization after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
The purpose of this study is 1) to develop and validate a new measurement to assess the length of the Achilles tendon after rupture, and 2) to examine if goniometer measurement of the ankle joint is a better method.
