The objective of the study is to assess mechanical strength and function in subjects undergoing Musculotendinous Tissue Unit Repair and Reinforcement (MTURR) with the use of biologic scaffolds for the restoration of both mechanical strength and function in these subjects. This study will formally evaluate healing and return of function after an extracellular matrix device implantation in 40 male and female subjects participating at 4-5 military sites who suffer from injury with loss of skeletal muscle tissue. The University of Pittsburgh under the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is the Coordinating Center for this multi-site study.
This study is designed to compare the treatment of 2 groups in patients with Achilles tendinopathy: autologous tenocytes injection in combination with exercises versus saline injection in combination with exercises
The objective of the study is to assess mechanical strength and function in subjects undergoing Musculotendinous Tissue Unit Repair and Reinforcement (MTURR) with the use of biologic scaffolds for the restoration of both mechanical strength and function in these subjects. This study formally evaluated healing and return of function after an extracellular matrix device implantation in 17 male and female subjects participating at the University of Pittsburgh under the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery who suffer from injury with loss of skeletal muscle tissue.
The purpose of this study is to measure the mechanical properties of healing Achilles tendons in humans after early controlled weightbearing, compared with a control group in a randomized, single-blinded trial. The mechanical properties are measured using radiostereophotogrammetic x-rays (RSA). Hypothesis: Early weightbearing improves mechanical properties of the healing Achilles tendon.
This study is being undertaken to verify the safety and performance of Adaprev™, a Class III medical device, when administered as a short term implant into the tendon sheath at the time of surgery, on the post-operative function of severed digital tendons. Subjects are randomised to either Adaprev or standard care and attend visits for 26 weeks following surgery. This clinical investigation will recruit 44 subjects in the UK at up to 10 clinical trial sites.
To prospectively assess the healing process following suture of profound fexor tendon due to traumatic rupture of FDP-Tendon in Zone II by ultrasound.
People operated for a rupture of the Achilles tendon receive a concentrate of their own platelets injected into the operated area. The study is randomized and single-blinded, with 20 treated patients and 20 controls, who get no injection. The primary endpoint is a mechanical property of the tendon after 12 weeks (modulus of elasticity), as measured by a special type of radiography. This radiography uses 0.8 mm metal markers, which are injected into the tendon. The tendon is mechanically loaded during radiography and its strain can be measured as increased distance between the markers. Other mechanical variables at 6, 12 and 52 weeks are secondary variables, as well as a validated patient-administrated questionaire at 1 year.
Hypothesis: The use of cascade platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) on medium and large sized rotator cuff tears will improve patient results versus the control results by 50%. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of PRFM on rotator cuff repairs. Since locally applied platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has shown early promise in enhancing tendon and ligament healing in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction, the investigators believe that locally applied PRFM will enhance the quality of rotator cuff repairs.
