Poly vs Hybrid Glenoid in Stemless aTSA
Participants are randomized 1:1 to receive either a cemented all-polyethylene pegged glenoid or a hybrid trabecular titanium-pegged glenoid during anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Multicentre, stratified block randomization with variable block sizes; patient- and assessor-blinded.
Does BIO-RSA Provides Superior Clinical Outcome Compared to Conventional RSA?
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different types of reverse shoulder replacements. Researchers will compare a conventional reverse shoulder replacement with a lateralized reverse shoulder replacement to see if there is a difference in how well the patients function after two years.
Prospective Study of Arthrodesis of Finger Distal Interphalangeal Joints Using the Kerifuse Device
Arthrodesis of a distal interphalangeal joint of the finger (DIP) is mainly performed for a degenerated and painful joint. Various stabilization methods have been used to provide compression at the arthrodesis site such as pins, steel wires, compression screws, headless compression screws, bioresorbable implants and intramedullary staples. Although with complications …
Rehabilitation Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
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 …
Turmeric for Patients With Basal Joint Arthritis
The aim of this study is to assess whether the use of a commercially available nutraceutical, turmeric, is an effective option to manage pain and stiffness in patients with basal joint arthritis. To conduct a pilot Randomized Controlled Trial evaluating the impact of turmeric on basal joint arthritis.
Retroversion in Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare function in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) using two different degrees of humeral retroversion (RV). The main question it aims to answer is: • Does external rotation improves when using a higher retroversion? Participants will randomly receive a 0 degree or 30 …
Restoration of Thumb Strength and Function in Basal Joint Arthritis: A Comparative Effectiveness Trial (RESTART)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the basis for three widely held fundamental tenets about surgical intervention for thumb basal joint arthritis; Trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and metacarpal stabilization is associated with superior functional outcomes and strength, Preservation of the arthroplasty space correlates with functional outcomes, pain relief, …
NSAID Injection Versus Corticosteroid Injection for Basilar Thumb Arthritis
The Researchers are trying to compare two different types of intraarticular injections (injection in the joint) for treating the symptoms of moderate to advanced basilar thumb arthritis. One injection is ketorolac (an NSAID) and the other is triamcinolone (a corticosteroid).
Variable Immobilization Protocol for Arthroplasty of the Carpometacarpal Joint of the Thumb
Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA) is common, seen frequently in middle-aged and elderly women. While a variety of surgical treatments have been described with none superior to any other, there is no consensus on the optimal duration of postoperative immobilization. Immobilization following surgery is critical for wound healing, pain control, …
Evaluation of the Patellar LIFT System for Subjects With Patellofemoral Cartilage Degeneration
The PELICAN study is a prospective, non randomized, dual arm, multi-center clinical study comparing clinical outcomes of subjects treated with the LIFT Implant System to subjects treated with Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy (TTO).
