Effects Of Vitamin D On Bone, Muscle, And Adipose Tissue In Obese Subjects
Obesity has emerged as a risk factor in the onset of bone, muscle and adipose tissue impairments that are further aggravated by vitamin D deficiency. A link of an active bone-muscle-adipose axis is represented by Wnt pathway. This study will test the hypothesis that vitamin D improves bone, muscle, and …
Early Versus Delayed Rehabilitation After Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Proximal Humerus Fracture
Proximal humerus fractures can be a debilitating injury in the elderly, impacting the ability to function independently or complete activities of daily living due to pain and restricted shoulder motion. Evidence has shown that reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is an effective option to improve pain and function for patients …
Platelet Rich Plasma Injections In Young And Old Human Subjects
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study with a secondary crossover phase at the end of the initial trial to ensure all subjects receive one PRP injection. The goal is to identify what proteins change in the blood following repeated intraarticular knee PRP injections in patients with knee …
Tension Band Versus Locking Plate Fixation for the Treatment of Patella Fractures
This study is a multicenter pragmatic, prospective, assessor-blinded, randomized independent clinical trial in which we compare locking plate fixation to standard tension band fixation in patients with patella fractures.
Quadriceps Tendon Versus Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Autograft ACL Reconstruction RCT
The choice of autograft for ACL reconstruction continues to be debated. To date, there has only be one completed randomized controlled trial with quad tendon to BTB and the tendon included a bone plug. There has been no study to date comparing an all soft tissue quad tendon to patellar …
Study on the Preventive Effect of Establishing an Integrated Working Group of Doctors and Nurses in Operating Room
To explore the preventive effect and clinical enlightenment of establishing an integrated working group of doctors and nurses in operating room on incision infection in orthopedic surgery.
Advanced Surgical Simulation Processes in the Correction of Skeletal Defects and Deformities
Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), Computer-Aided Surgical Simulation (CASS) for bone corrections, and the customization of implants and devices through 3D printing, known as Patient-Specific Instruments (PSI) and Graft-Specific Instruments (GSI), are assuming increasingly central roles in orthopedic clinical and surgical practice. One area witnessing notable advancement is the treatment of …
High- Versus Low-calcium Water for Bone Health
The experimental study investigates which metabolic responses of calcium and parathyroid hormone are observable in blood and urine in a cohort of 41 healthy adults following a sequence of different exposures: low-calcium water first and high-calcium water afterward.
Vitamin D in School Children
The primary purpose of this study it to investigate total circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in school children (aged 4-11years) in Northern Ireland; thereby establishing the prevalence of vitamin D status (deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency (SACN 2016)) in this cohort. Additionally, the study aims to determine if 10µg/day vitamin D3 supplementation …
The Effects of AFO Heel Height and Stiffness on Gait
The proposed study evaluates the effect of ankle foot orthosis (AFO) heel height and stiffness on the forces and motion of the lower limb during over-ground walking in individuals who use an AFO for daily walking. Previous studies suggest that heel height and stiffness effect limb loading, but these data …
