Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

The study will determine the optimal dosing regimen of LNA043 in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

This post-marketing investigation will evaluate the long term (up to 15 years) survivorship of the Attune Primary Knee Prosthesis in patients with non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease. Data from Subjects who receive one of four knee configurations will be pooled to establish a contemporary dataset.

This is a non-surgical trial comparing the clinical and functional outcomes of patients with osteoarthritis treated with Intra-articular injection of Micro Fragmented Adipose Tissue versus conventional therapy of intra-articular injection of corticosteroid.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes patients considerable joint pain and leads to instability, reduced range of motion, and functional limitations. Current treatment limitations have generated interest in alternative options to restore function and alleviate joint pain, some with the aim of healing damaged articular cartilage. There has been preliminary support in the literature for reduced pain and improved functional performance in patients who receive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as part of a treatment regimen. MSCs can be costly and are limited by complex regulatory issues. This interest in an alternative isolation method lead to the development of Lipogems. Lipogems is a technique to harvest, process, and inject minimally manipulated adipose tissue. This procedure is enzyme free and requires no clonal expansion or manipulation. The goal of this study is to evaluate the possible benefits of reduced joint pain and increased joint functionality in patients with knee osteoarthritis after the injection of Lipogems. In addition, given the limitations of prior research on the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroids, the investigators will also include this as an additional study group to compare to placebo. There have been case reports published showing favorable outcomes. This would be the first study reporting data on the efficacy of Lipogems for pain relief in knee OA in a randomized, controlled clinical trial with a larger sample of patients. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive an injection of Lipogems will experience a decrease in pain of the affected knee and an increase in joint functionality in comparison to placebo. The investigators also hypothesize that patients who receive an intra-articular corticosteroid will experience decreased pain or improved functionality in the affected joint compared to placebo.

The purpose of this study: In a prospective randomized study with 2 years of follow-up we want to compare the migration of the uncemented trabecular metal (TM) versus the cemented tibial and femoral components of the new Persona® total knee arthroplasty (TKA) assessed by model based radiostereometric analysis (MB-RSA). Also, we want to compare the adaptive bone remodeling induced by the uncemented TM versus the cemented tibial and femoral components of the new Persona® TKA assessed by dual energy-X-ray (DEXA). Data generated for both above mentioned, will be also compared with historical RSA and DEXA data for the NexGen TKA using TM tibia modular and monoblock.

The purpose of this study is to assist surgeons and patients in answering the question "Should I have both knees replaced at the same time, or should I just do one and wait to do the second one?"

Ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful, progressive condition that can severely limit physical activity and reduce quality of life. Rocker bottom (RB) shoes and ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are commonly used as non-surgical treatments for ankle OA. RB shoes have a curved sole in the toe to heel direction that may alleviate joint pain by reducing ankle range of motion (ROM). Similarly, AFOs may reduce joint motion by securing the foot and ankle within the ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) frame. This study aims to determine the ability of RB shoes and AFOs to improve mobility, by relieving pain and reducing joint ROM.

The purpose of the study is to collect data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Easytech Reversed Shoulder System for the treatment of patients who require a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Navio is a new generation of computer navigation systems allowing intraoperative navigation of the bone cuts relative to both ligaments and skeletal axes, prior to bone removal. An improved accuracy is incorporated by the use of robotics in a burr for bone removal. This study investigates whether this advanced technology leads to better clinical or radiostereometric results, by comparing one group operated with Navio to another group operated with conventional technique.

The primary objective is the assessment of prosthetic migration results after two years of the Triathlon PS Knee System with all-polyethylene tibial components compared to the Triathlon PS Knee System with metal-backed modular components by means of Roentgen Stereophotogrammetry.
