Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Stress"

Knee arthroscopy using standard portals will be performed in three groups. Complete evaluation of all intra -articular structures will be performed followed by accurate localization of the cartilage defect and measurement of its dimensions. The cartilage lesion grading according to the International Cartilage Repair Society system (ICRS). The patients assigned for the first group will have Liposuction through a minor 1 cm incision on the abdomen to obtain adequate amount of emulsified adipose tissues (50 - 60 cc). Autologous adipose tissue will be mixed with autologous hyaline cartilage obtained from non-weight bearing areas of the knee in prepared mold. The graft will be mixed with fibrin glue and left to solidify a little. After obtaining the fashioned graft from the mold it will be fixed in to the defect site by fibrin glue through mini open approach and stability of the implant fitted in the site will evaluated by gentle cycling of the joint. During the graft preparation, a high tibial osteotomy will be performed. Patients assigned for the second group will have microfracture in association with open wedge high tibial osteotomy. Patients assigned for the third group will have open wedge high tibial osteotomy. Standard titanium T locked plate will be used to fix the open wedge osteotomy in the three groups.

This project will test the ability of brief self-compassion training to attenuate physiological and subjective responses to induced stress among sexual minority women, transgender people, and nonbinary people.

The fifth metatarsal is one of the bones where stress fractures can occur. Current literature provides support for both operative and non-operative treatment, but is mostly based on retrospective studies. One small randomized controlled trial reported faster recovery in the surgery group, but this study is probably subject to selection bias as well as underpowered design. There is a need to strengthen the knowledge base regarding treatment of stress fractures in the fifth metatarsal. This study seeks to answer whether osteosynthesis with an intramedullar screw fixation gives faster painfree weight bearing compared to non-operative treatment with a walking boot.

A total of 18 military pilots in their tirocinium in the air force academy from the Portuguese Air Force course "Masters in Military Aeronautics: aviator pilot specialist" participated in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to yoga (intervention group) or waiting list (control group). Procedures were approved by the Évora University research ethics committee and participants will give written informed consent according to the Helsinki declaration (approval number: 21050).

Patients with complaints of shoulder pain or limitation of motion and had rotator cuff rupture diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging will be analyzed and the patients with surgical indication will be included in a randomized fashion. One group of patient will undergo standard arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, while the other group will have microfracture procedure in addition to the standard arthroscopic repair. Before the operation, functional and clinical conditions will be recorded with Constant and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES) universal shoulder scoring systems and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) pain scale. The blood supply and healing of the tendon in the repair area will be compared by the doppler ultrasound (superb microvascular imaging) at the 2nd, 4th, 8th and 12th week after the operation. Post-operative clinical, functional status and pain levels will be evaluated with Constant, ASES and VAS pain scales at 24th week.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there is a correlation between MRI and ultrasound for the diagnosis of lower limb stress injuries. Patients that are seen at the University of Iowa Sports Medicine Center with a suspected diagnosis of a lower limb stress injury will be recruited. These patients will undergo a diagnostic ultrasound of the affected region prior to undergoing an MRI of that region. Then, the ultrasound findings will be compared to the MRI findings to determine if a correlation exists.

This prospective cohort study is designed to investigate possible association(s) between subchondral insufficiency fractures (SIFKs) of the knee and pre-existing health, lifestyle, and/or musculoskeletal conditions. In doing so, this research may shed light on the underlying cause(s) of SIFKs. It is hypothesized that SIFKs of the knee are related to osteoarthritis, weak bone, and/or metabolic issues, rather than trauma.

The purpose of this study is to examine racial differences in smoking behaviors and stress responses between African American and white male smokers.

The hypothesis is that microfractures in the footprint of the humerus will aid to improve the tendon healing to the bone. The aim of the study is to investigate whether the use of microfractures at the footprint of the rotator cuff will improve the tendon healing when reinserted. Patients undergoing surgery for a rotator cuff injury will be randomised to repair with or without microfracture.
