Filter by:We will compare two groups for acute patella tendon repair: one treated with surgical anchors and the second, with transpatellar tunnels.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of modifiable risk factors on patient-reported quality of life, physical activity levels, and risk of early osteoarthritis following revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The investigators hypothesize that modifiable variables exist at the time of revision ACL reconstruction (e.g., cause of failure, current graft source and type, surgical exposure, and femoral and tibial tunnel position) which will be predictors of patient-reported outcomes.
Patients who suffered from a rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament with instability of the knee joint, will be treated with an operative ACL-reconstruction. One group of patients will stay one night in the hospital and go home the other day (Group I). The other group of patients will go home the same day of surgery (Group II). All patients will undergo the same arthroscopic reconstruction of the ACL. Anesthesia will be performed on each patient in a classic manner. At the end of the surgery each group of patients will be randomly divided in two subgroups: one group will get an injection in the knee joint with 20 ml of physiological fluid (Group Ia en IIa), the other group will get an injection in the knee joint with 20 ml of chirocaine 0.125%, a widely used pain-medicine (Group Ib and IIb). This will happen in a double blind, randomized way. The whole procedure takes about one hour. After surgery patients are brought to the recovery room and are observed every 30 minutes for the duration of 4 hours. Before being brought to their rooms, patients will have to fill in a VAS: Visual Analogue Scale, to determine their pain. After being brought to their rooms, the patients will have the choice of going home the same day or staying in the hospital for one night, according to the amount of pain they are in. That moment it will be possible to switch groups. Patients who go home the same day of surgery will be contacted by phone the day after to fill in a question form. Patients who were admitted for one night will be seen before their leave to fill in the same question form.
The aim of this multicenter randomized trial is to compare the endovascular repair versus conventional repair for ruptured aorta-iliac aneurysms observed on CT scan in stable patients with suitable anatomy. The main awaited result is the significant reduction of the mortality of the conventional repair.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the difference in quality of life outcome at two years, in patients undergoing an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedure with either a patellar tendon, quadruple hamstring tendon or a double-bundle hamstring tendon autograft.
Patients suffering from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with instability of the knee joint are treated with an operative ACL-reconstruction: one group of patients with a reconstruction with an autograft tendon (hamstrings), the other group with a reconstruction with an allograft tendon (tibialis posterior). The same surgical technique, the same fixation technique and the same rehabilitation protocol will be used in both groups. Follow-up will be done during 2 years.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of protected early weightbearing (PEWB) compared to non-weightbearing (NWB) after surgery for an Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) on health related quality of life (HRQL) in the initial six week period after surgery, functional recovery over time, return to work and activity and complications. We hypothesized that PEWB following ATR repair would result in: i) improved HRQL in the initial postoperative period, ii), a quicker recovery of HRQL, strength and endurance, iii) earlier return to work and sport, and iv) no increase in complications, such as re-rupture compared to NWB.
In this study we will examine patients who have undergone unilateral ACL reconstruction surgery to determine which structural and functional characteristics of the knee two and ten years post reconstruction surgery, aspects of the original injury and repair, and patient characteristics are risk factors for osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the short term use of indomethacin will reduce the number of women delivering within 48 hours when given to women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) between 24- 32 weeks of gestation. We hypothesize that indomethacin's anti-inflammatory and tocolytic action will reduce the number of women delivering within 48 hours when given to women with PPROM between 24-32 weeks of gestation.
Study compares the outcomes of women between 26 and 32 wks gestation with rupture of membranes. Women randomized to receive tocolysis with magnesium sulfate x 48 hrs or placebo of saline IV x 48 hrs. Antibiotics and antenatal steroids given to both groups.
