Phenotype/Genotype Correlation in a Family With Early Onset Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis

This study will investigate the genes responsible for osteoarthritis. Individuals with osteoarthritis known or suspected to be caused by a gene mutation (change) may be eligible for this study. Family members may also participate. Patients will talk with investigators who will explain the study and its possible implications for the patient and family and answer questions. The patient's medical records will be reviewed, a personal and family history will be taken, and a physical examination will be done. Two procedures may be done including blood sampling (which will be used for DNA (genetic) studies) and X-rays (to define osteoarthritis grade). If no known mutations responsible for osteoarthritis will be detected, participating family members will be interviewed by telephone about their personal and family health history and will have a blood sample drawn for DNA testing, and X-rays.

Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Blood From Orthopedic Surgery Compared to Abdominal Aneurysm Repair...

Aortic DiseasesOsteoarthritis1 more

The purpose of this study is to investigate the contents in blood sampled from surgery site during hip replacement compared with blood sampled from abdominal aortic surgery. Is there any difference in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α), complement activation (C3a)?

Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis: Measuring Post-operative Pain to Assess the Potential for Outpatient...

Osteoarthritis

Post-operative pain will be measured using a pain diary for one week post-surgery. The purpose is to test the assumption that the arthroscopic technique leads to less post-operative pain and results in shorter hospital stays when compared to the open technique. It is believed that the arthroscopic technique will result in minimal pain when compared to the open technique, allowing this procedure to be performed as day surgery.

Quality of Care for Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis in Elderly Patients

Knee OsteoarthritisHip Osteoarthritis2 more

Introduction: Hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) was ranked in 2010 as the eleventh highest contributor to global disability. In France in 2014, non-spinal OA was the leading self-reported cause of morbidity among adults over sixty-five years of age, with a prevalence of 49.5 per cent. OA is known to be the first cause of disability in activities of daily life and a risk factor of frailty among people over seventy-five years of age. Despite its major impact on the elderly population's quality of life and health, quality of care for OA in elderly patients remains understudied. Objective: The study aims to assess the quality of care for knee and hip OA in patients aged 75 years and over.

Kinematic- Versus Ligament-balanced Mechanical Alignment in TKA

Osteo Arthritis Knee

A promising new approach in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for severe osteoarthritis of the knee joint is the the kinematic aligned procedure (KA). This technique provides prosthesis-positioning based on natural and individual axes of movement. Although first series have shown satisfying results, further verification by prospective studies and final meta-analyses will be required. Thus, the kinematic alignment represents one of the few new developments in TKA. Provided that patients are willing to participate in the study, patients data are collected preoperatively and during routine follow-up examinations and evaluated prospectively. Patients will receive either a conventionally mechanical aligned arthroplasty or a kinematical aligned TKA, according to a randomized procedure. The kinematic alignment will be achieved by the use of custom-made cutting-blocks. Therefore, the patients will undergo a computed tomography of the whole leg on the affected side. This is mandatory in order to provide the individually produced cutting blocks. In order to ensure comparability, patients are stratified regarding their age and gender before inclusion. Outcome will be measured by the use of standard scoring systems regarding function, pain and ROM (range of motion) three, six and 12 months after surgery. This study is a monocentric, prospective, randomized and controlled open study.

fMRI and Central Sensitization in Chronic Knee Osteoarthritis. A Pre and Post TKR Study

OsteoarthritisPain2 more

Painful osteoarthritis (OA) is the 4th largest cause of disability in the UK. Preoperative temporal summation, a measure of central pain facilitation, has been shown to predict postoperative pain after total knee replacement surgery (TKR). The assessment of the brain's response to noxious stimuli using non-invasive functional MRI (fMRI) may be key in identifying imaging biomarkers within the brain that map central sensitization changes seen in OA. fMRI may help explain why up to 20% of patients undergoing TKR surgery develop persistent post-operative pain. To test these concepts the study aims to functionally characterise the brain activity related to temporal summation of pain in healthy individuals and OA patients using a novel fMRI cuff algometer. Assessment of outcomes in terms of pain and function will be performed 6 months post TKR surgery

Phi Angle and Antero-medial Pain in Total Ankle Replacement Follow-up

Ankle OsteoarthritisProstheses and Implants

The study evaluates the relation between the rotational alignment of the talar component (phi angle) and the antero-medial ankle pain in patients underwent total ankle replacement, at least one year after surgery. Moreover, the study aims to define a range of the phi angle associated with a lower frequency of antero-medial pain.

Assessment of Patients Quality of Life Treated With Three ARTHRUM H 2% Joint Injections

Knee Osteoarthritis

The reduction of functional limits and disablilities induced by knee osteoarthritis as well as improvement of patients quality of life is a public health need registered amongst the priorities established by the French law of August 9th 2004 relative to Public Health policy. However, the response to this need is not limited to treatment with health products. This clinical trial in real life on ARTHRUM H 2% device aims to analyse patients quality of life treated by intraarticular injections, eventually for several years, by difference of usual clinical trials. This open, prospective, multicentric study aims to analyse, in patient care, the impact of three intraarticular injections of ARTHRUM H 2% on quality of life over a period of 6 months (D180) in the symptomatic treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Knee Pain Phenotypes in the Community Study

Knee Osteoarthritis

The focus of the study is to determine the prevalence and variance of self-reported knee pain characteristics in a community-derived sample of adults aged 40 years and over. It will also identify characteristics such as structural changes of osteoarthritis of the knee as well as physiological parameters and blood and urine biomarkers.
