Filter by:This study involves patients who will be undergoing a reverse total shoulder replacement at Duke University. 100 eligible will be randomly assigned into one of two groups, a sling or no sling group. Patients in the sling group will wear a sling for three weeks after their surgery while the no sling group will only wear a sling three days after their surgery. Patients will follow their doctors normal follow up visit schedule after surgery, with visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
This study will be performed to determine if Band Connect's VirtuaCare™ platform increases patient compliance and provides an effective alternative to current physical therapy treatment while reducing the frequency of visits compared with standard orthopedic physical therapy treatment performed in the outpatient clinic. Participants are being asked to take part in this research study if 18 years and older and have been prescribed physical therapy rehabilitation for an acute or chronic shoulder condition and as part of the participant's physical therapy will receive a shoulder exercise home program.
This is a randomized clinical trial with the objective of comparing the time of insertion of two types of perineural catheters in shoulder surgery. These devices are thin lines that have to be inserted over a needle or throw a needle, depending of the type of catheter that is used. The hypothesis is: the installation of Contiplex C or catheter over needle (CON) is faster than a normal contiplex catheter or Catheter throw needle (CTN) at same rate of effectivity.
The purpose of this study is: 1) to identify relevant treatment outcomes for people with massive rotator cuff tears of the shoulder joint, according to the experience of the affected people, to facilitate treatment shared decision-making during the specialist consultation in Spain; 2) to compare the effectiveness of conservative treatment, arthroscopic decompressive surgery and reverse prosthesis, in terms of patient's relevant outcomes and health-related quality of life.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a commonly performed minimally invasive surgery in which a camera (an arthroscope) is inserted inside the shoulder joint. This surgery is responsible for moderate to severe pain. It may require the use of opioid analgesics in the acute phase. One of the components of this pain may be the postoperative hematoma. Pain is one of the main causes of patient satisfaction failure after shoulder surgery. Finding ways to reduce this pain is a primary principle in the management of this surgery. Until now, this management requires the frequent use of morphine. However, this use of morphine may conduct to adverse effects (nausea/vomiting, constipation, malaise, sweating), and even public health problems such as addiction. It is therefore interesting to look for ways to increase the patient's analgesia by other means, which will thus increase patient satisfaction and make his management more fluid. The effect on pain of hematoma reduction is rarely described in the scientific literature. The hypothesis of this study is that the intraoperative administration of intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid can reduce the hematoma and thus decrease postoperative pain.The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the use of IV tranexamic acid intraoperatively, compared to a placebo (sodium chloride 0.9%), reduces postoperative pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
This study takes place in the framework of the Post-Market Clinical Follow-up of the FX Solutions Shoulder System. The goal of this PMCF study is to collect clinical data in order to confirm the safety and the performance at a long term and mainly the first two years of sales for each studied ranges. Eligible patients who received the FX Solutions Shoulder System and are at about 7 years post-operative were contacted by the Investigator to explain the study, the retrospective collection and the prospective follow-up visit. Investigator also explain the analysis of the post-operative outcomes of the patient. During the call of the investigator, the patient was informed about the study's goal and about the data collection. The oral agreement of the patient was checked by the investigators in CRF with its signature. Then, an information form explaining the purpose of the data collection was provided to the patient by postmail. The retrospective data were collected in a paper CRF via the medical file of patient. Post-operative follow-up for all patients is limited to a teleconsultation intended to assess the patient's current condition and clinical outcomes. Patient who are enrolled in the study shall be assigned a unique Subject Identification Number to de-identify their information.
20 adults who applied to the orthopedic clinic with shoulder pain, did not require surgical intervention, were referred to the physiotherapy clinic for treatment; will be evaluated in terms of balance, pain and joint range of motion and then included in the exercise program. 20 adults without pain will be evaluated as the control group and the results will be compared within and between groups. Our hypothesis is that the balance will improve and pain will decrease in individuals after exercise.
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis in patients receiving interscalene brachial plexus nerve block with prolonged neural blockade. English speaking American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1-3 patients ages 18-80 receiving prolonged interscalene nerve block will be randomized into 3 groups: first group receiving a perineural catheter infusing 0.2% ropivacaine; the second group receiving a single shot injection of 10mL liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel; n=20) plus 5 mL 0.5% bupivacaine and the third receiving 20mL liposomal bupivacaine plus 5mL bupivacaine (to be determined by the attending anesthesiologist).Primary outcome will be incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis postoperative day 1 as measured by point of care (POCUS) ultrasound.
