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 …
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.
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 …
An Imaging Framework for Clinically Testing New Treatments to Prevent Post-traumatic OA
The immediate goal of the proposed research is to test the value of a new low-cost, low-dose standing CT system for efficient early detection of both joint degeneration and elevated contact stress. The standing CT scanner holds promise for detecting arthritic changes earlier than other imaging modalities because of the …
Pre-operative Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training in Total Joint Surgery
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate effects of respiratory strengthening exercises on breathing function, in people who have orthopedic surgery. It is known that breathing function decreases for a few days after surgery. in In this study, we want to see if exercising before surgery strengthens the …
Randomized Comparison of PARtial Wrist Fusion With or Without Triquetral Excision (PARTE)
This randomized clinical trial (RCT) aims to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of different partial wrist fusion techniques in participants with post-traumatic wrist arthritis. Participants with stage II or III scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) or scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to …
Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Injection With Median Nerve Decompression Surgery in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The aim of this study is to compare ultrasound-guided perineural injection of the median nerve with classic minimal incision surgical technique for median nerve decompression in patients diagnosed with mild, moderate, and severe carpal tunnel syndrome.
