The Pediatric ALL Evaluation and Trial
The overall aim of this multicenter RCT is to determine whether concomitant ALL reconstruction in children undergoing and ACL reconstruction will longitudinally result in a lower rate of graft failure than ACL reconstruction alone.
Preventing Injured Knees From osteoArthritis: Severity Outcomes
This study is being done to find out if metformin is effective at reducing pain by delaying the onset of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This research study will compare metformin to placebo. The placebo tablet looks exactly like metformin, but contains no metformin. Placebos are …
Fixation of Patellar Tendon Grafts in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. Endobutton vs Metal Interference Screws
In this randomized controlled trial the investigators will compare the results after primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using two different methods for femoral fixation of a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft. Interference screws have been the standard method for fixing the femoral side of BPTB grafts; however, several pitfalls have …
Full Vs Partial Weightbearing During the First Six Weeks of Rehab. After Fibular Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the purpose to determine if patients undergoing fibular collateral ligament (FCL) reconstruction alone or combined FCL and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions can safely begin full controlled weightbearing for the first six weeks after surgery.
IVR in Motor Rehabilitation
The present project on sport rehabilitation aims at validating a rehabilitation protocol in immersive virtual reality (IVR) for restoring motor functions following peripheral injuries of the lower limbs. Sport injuries are related to direct and indirect costs and, in many cases, cause an interruption of motor activity for prolonged periods. …
Non- vs Partial Controlled Weightbearing After Multiple Knee Ligament Reconstruction
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the purpose to determine if patients undergoing isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, or isolated medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction, or combined PCL, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), fibular collateral ligament (FCL), posterolateral corner (PLC), and MCL reconstructions (or any combination of multiple …
Comparison Between the Use of the Tensioner and Standard Surgical Technique for Ligament Balancing of Total Knee Prostheses
the objective of the present study is to compare the post-operative laxity using stress radiographs and clinical scores in two groups of patients undergoing primary PS TKA with identical prosthetic model performed in two specialized centers, of which one group implanted with standard technique and one group through the intraoperative …
Fibrine Clot-augmented Repair of Longitudinal Meniscus Tears
Longitudinal meniscal tears are a type of meniscal injury characterized by a displaced fragment of the meniscus that flips over into the joint, often resembling a buckle or handle. These tears typically occur in the medial meniscus and are often associated with traumatic knee injuries, particularly in athletes. The displaced …
Losartan to Improve Outcomes After Multi-ligament Knee Injury
Multi-ligament knee injuries (MLKIs) can occur during military training, sports injuries, or traumatic events such as motor vehicle accidents and can be devastating events. These complex injuries involving disruption of 2 or more ligaments often coincide with injuries to arteries, nerves, tendons, menisci, and/or fractures and can be devastating events. …
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy for Post-operative Pain Following Orthopedic Surgery
The primary objective of this study is to prospectively determine, at 10 days after orthopedic shoulder or knee surgery, if pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is beneficial in reducing patient-reported post-operative pain, as measured by visual analog scale (VAS). The amount of pain medication taken daily and the physical function …
