Filter by:Common extensor tendon (CET) tears that can be detected with ultrasonography (US) may be associated with worsening clinical and other ultrasonographic parameters in patients with LE. In this retrospective evaluation of patients with lateral epicondylitis (LE), the effect of common extensor tendon (CET) tears revealed by ultrasonography (US) with demographic, clinical, and other US findings was investigated.
The study's aim is to determine the incidence of flexor hallucis tendon tears associated with os trigonum excision. The study will then compare the length until functional return to play of the patients who had flexor hallucis tendon tears with concomitant os trigonum excision versus those without flexor hallucis tendon tears who underwent os trigonum excision. Lastly, the study will be evaluating the patient complaints and physical exam findings before and after surgery and compare those without flexor hallucis tendon tears to those with flexor hallucis tendon repair.
Rotator cuff disease is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions across the world. Patients with chronic rotator cuff tears often have substantial muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration. Surgical repair of the tear does not reverse the atrophy, and many patients continue to experience weakness, pain, and a persistent reduction in the quality of life. An important limitation in our ability to successfully rehabilitate these injuries postoperatively and return patients to normal function has to do with the poor quality of the muscle and tendon after rotator cuff repair. The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of subcutaneous adipose tissue is highly enriched with cells (SVFCs) that can both directly participate in tissue regeneration by differentiating into myogenic and tenogenic cells, and indirectly by secreting growth factors and small molecules which activate pathways associated with healthy tissue regeneration. High numbers of autologous SVFCs can be isolated using the cost-effective, intraoperative Icellator (Tissue Genesis, Honolulu, HI) point-of-care system. This clinical trial will be determine if the use of SVFCs can enhance outcomes for patients who are undergoing surgical repair of a torn supraspinatus rotator cuff.
This study is a prospective, single center, postmarket study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NeoPatch used as a tissue cover in foot and ankle tendon revision and repair surgery.
