Titanium Fusion Implant in Combination With Trans-iliac Screws for Insufficiency Fractures of the...
Pelvic FractureInsufficiency Fractures1 moreMany approaches to the surgical treatment of OF-P have been tried, but no one method has stood out as particularly successful. The placement of three implants, including implants that could minimise motion in the sacroiliac joint through early fixation and long-term fusion of the sacroiliac joint, can prevent micromotion in the fracture and thereby improve the clinical outcome of OF-Ps. The iFuse-3D implant was shown to be safe and effective for chronic sacroiliac pain in non-osteoporotic patients. The primary aim is to assess the proportion of patients operated on using iFuse-3D in conjunction with transiliac-transsacral screws who regain pre-fracture mobility by the time of hospital discharge.
NOVOCART 3D Treatment Following Microfracture Failure
Articular Cartilage DefectThis study is prospective single arm extension study of protocol AAG-G-H-1220. It is open only to participants of AAG-G-H-1220 randomized to the Microfracture treatment group.
Photobiomodulation Therapy for the Treatment of Lower Extremity Stress Fractures in a Military Training...
Metatarsal Stress FractureStress Fracture of TibiaThe goal of this clinical trial is to compare photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in addition to standard of care in the treatment of tibial and metatarsal bone stress injuries in a military training setting. Participants will all receive usual care and also be randomized to either active or sham photobiomodulation therapy. Effectiveness will be assessed based on time to return to duty and measures of pain and function. Participants will receive care for a maximum of 6 weeks. Participants will have follow-up through 4 months (or graduation/dismissal from training, whichever comes first).
Relationship Between Lidocaine and Serum Orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)
Stress ReactionThe intravenous injection of lidocaine during the perioperative period has been widely used in various types of surgeries. Its clinical effect includes reducing stress response during anesthesia, decreasing pain and opioid consumption, lowering the incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting, cognitive dysfunction, and reducing the injection pain of propofol. However, despite the positive impact of lidocaine on surgical patients, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Serum N/OFQ is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in regulating pain and emotion. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of perioperative intravenous injection of lidocaine on stress responses in surgical patients, as well as its mechanism of action, and whether Serum N/OFQ participates in this process.
Microfracture Versus Adipose Derived Stem Cells for the Treatment of Articular Cartilage Defects...
Degenerative Lesion of Articular Cartilage of KneeThe purpose of this study is to compare two biologic methods for the treatment of articular cartilage defects in the knee. The first method, microfracture, is the standard of care and is routinely used to recruit cells from the subchondral bone marrow to the site of cartilage loss. The second method is the application of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to the defect site. In theory, ADSCs on a collagen scaffold should enable the delivery of more specific progenitor cells to the site of injury, resulting in better regeneration and integration of articular cartilage at the site of a defect as compared to the microfracture method.
AMIC vs. MFx in the Ankle
Osteochondral Lesion of TalusChondral Defect1 moreThis clinical investigation is a prospective, double blind, single-centre, randomised controlled trial comparing arthroscopic autologous matrix induced chondrogenesis (AMIC®) to microfracture alone in the treatment of osteochondral and chondral lesion in the ankle to evaluate effectiveness, performance and safety of AMIC® procedure versus microfracture (MFx).

CBD Oil for Reducing Emotional Impact of COVID-19
Anxiety DepressionAlcohol Abuse4 moreOur purpose is to conduct a 4-arm placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the relative clinical efficacy of 300 mg. of pure hemp-derived CBD isolate, 300 mg. of full spectrum CBD oil, 300 mg. of broad- spectrum CBD Oil, or Placebo oil among adults presenting with COVID-19 -induced stress reactions including one or more of the following: anxiety, depression, anger, substance use, or sleep disturbance.
Beta Blocker Use In Traumatic Brain Injury Based On The High-Sensitive Troponin T Status
TraumaBrain Injuries3 moreBeta blockers (BB) play an important role in protection of end organs that are susceptible for secondary injury by the Traumatic brain injury (TBI)-induced catecholamine surge. However, use of BBs in trauma patients is not yet the standard of care which necessitates clear scientific evidence and justification to be used especially in TBI patients. The BBTBBT study aims to determine whether early administration of propranolol based on the HSTnT status will improve the outcome of mild-to-severe TBI patients. Our primary hypothesis is that BBs are effective in reducing 10 and 30-day mortality in TBI patients.BBs are effective in reducing 10 and 30-day mortality in TBI patients. Methods/Design: The BBTBBT study is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, three-arm trial of BB use in mild-to-severe TBI patients based on the HsTnT status.
Microfracture at Proximal Humerus Lateral to Footprint Could Enhance the Rotator Cuff Healing
Rotator Cuff TearsMicro FractureThe goal of this clinical trial is to test whether there is any effect on rotator cuff healing by making microfracture at the lateral side of the footprint. The main question it aims to answer are: [whether the lateralized microfracture could decrease the retear rate after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair.] [whether the lateralized microfracture could improve the functional recovery after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair.] Participants with medium to larger size rotator cuff tears will be randomly assigned to the study group treated with lateralized microfracture immediately after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair or the control group treated with conventional arthroscopy rotator cuff repair without microfracture.
