Filter by:The purpose of the present study is to determine if a standard humeral cut using a fixed neck shaft angled prosthesis for patients undergoing anatomic TSA is able to restore normal glenohumeral relationships as compared to a variable neck shaft angle prosthesis.
Stemless shoulder arthroplasty systems with uncemented metaphyseal fixation have been used in Europe for glenohumeral osteoarthritis since 2004. The stemless design has several theoretical advantages compared with the stemmed shoulder arthroplasty systems: restoring patients' anatomy, preserving humeral bone stock, and few complications in component removal if the need for a revision arthroplasty arises. The purpose of the study is to compare the short-term, patient-reported outcome of stemless and stemmed total shoulder arthroplasty.
This is a randomized, double-blinded, standard of care-controlled clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in subscapularis strength and function after anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (aTSA) in patients who receive isolated subscapularis rehabilitation in addition to the standard rehabilitation after surgery at 12-month follow up. Specifically the investigators will measure subscapularis strength utilizing a dynamometer device and subscapularis function utilizing isolated subscapularis physical examination testing: belly-press, bear-hug, and lift-off tests. Additionally, investigators will document secondary outcome measures including shoulder range of motion and Patient Reported Outcome Measure Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire scores.
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has been successful in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, proximal humerus fractures, failed primary total shoulder arthroplasty or failed hemiarthroplasty, and massive irreparable rotator cuff tear. Patients who undergo an RTSA report pain relief and functional range of motion. It has been more than 20 years since the advent of the RTSA construct but an immediate post-operative rehabilitation with active shoulder range of motion has not been prospectively studied in comparison to the traditional post-operative rehabilitation highlighted by Boudreau et al.12 Investigators plan to prospectively follow our patients following RTSA undergoing an immediate active shoulder rehabilitation (IASR) vs traditional rehabilitation in a randomized controlled fashion. Investigators plan to document clinical outcomes, complications and cost effectiveness out to 1 year. The study will hopefully fulfill the Triple Aim model for HealthPartners by improving the health of the population, improve the experience of each individual, and make healthcare affordable by decreasing the total cost of care.
Participants who choose to participate in this study, will either have their tendon repaired to tendon, so-called tenotomy repair, or tendon repaired to bone, so-called peel repair.
Purpose of Study: To identify and provide a safe, opioid-free treatment pathway for shoulder arthroplasty with a focus on perioperative pain control and postoperative symptoms from treatment
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of post-operative pain control of local infiltration (LIA) of EXPAREL administration to ropivacaine administered via continuous interscalene nerve block (CINB) for postoperative pain relief following shoulder replacement. Effectiveness will be measured in opioid consumption and NRS pain intensity scores from 0-4h, 4-8h, 9-12h, 13-16h, 17-20, 21-24h, 48 hours and 72 hours post-op. Patient satisfaction with pain control; patient functional outcome; adverse events related to CINB, EXPAREL administration, and opioid consumption; and pain intensity scores from the time of surgery until post-operative day 10 (+/- 5 days) will also be examined.
A new infusion strategy named the 'programmed intermittent bolus' (PIB) technique delivers the hourly dose within minutes compared to the traditional infusion that delivers such dose over an hour. The PIB technique has demonstrated superior patient satisfaction and reduced local anesthetic consumption when utilized for pain control during labour and delivery. However, it is not known if the PIB technique gives any benefits during a continuous nerve block in other settings. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to elucidate if PIB is better than (traditional) continuous infusion for postoperative analgesia in patients receiving a continuous nerve block for total shoulder arthroplasty with respect to pain control.
Deep periprosthetic infection following total joint arthroplasty is a major complication. Although it only occurs in a small percentage of patients (~1%), it results in substantial morbidity and a decline in functional outcome. A two stage revision and exchange is commonly required in order to clear the infection and provide the best opportunity for prosthetic replantation. Following removal of the infected components, a minimum course of six weeks of parenteral antibiotics is given and resolution of the infection confirmed through the ESR, CRP, and repeated aspiration of the joint. In most instances a temporary spacer of antibiotic-loaded cement is inserted at the first stage and removed at the second operation. Propionibacterium Acnes is a gram-positive, non-spore-forming, anaerobic bacillus found in lipid-rich areas, including hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and moist areas of the shoulder and axilla. Because of its low virulence, infections caused by P. acnes typically have a low-grade, indolent course, with shoulder pain often the only presenting symptoms after prosthetic replacement. P. acnes is particularly challenging to both diagnose and to eradicate, and is a substantial source of morbidity with shoulder arthroplasty. JumpStart™ is a wireless, advanced microcurrent generating, dressing used for the management of surgical incision sites. Microcell batteries made of silver and zinc, generate an electrical current when activated by conductive fluids, such as saline, hydrogel or wound exudate. These microcells create low voltage electrical fields to stimulate the surrounding area and to provide antimicrobial protection to assist with wound healing. JumpStart has demonstrated superior broad spectrum bactericidal activity of a wound dressing against antibiotic-resistant strains of wound isolates within 24 hours. The use of JumpStart as a prophylactic preoperative dressing to alter the skin flora and thereby decrease the risk of prosthetic infection has not been investigated to-date. Given the morbidity of a prosthetic infection, this would be a remarkably valuable intervention for any joint replacement procedure.
The aim of this observationnal post-marketing study is to provide additional information on the safety and effectiveness of Simpliciti™ system at 24 months post-shoulder arthroplasty , in usual surgical practice.
