Active clinical trials for "Joint Diseases"

While bracing has been shown to be beneficial for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) in terms of function and strength, whether these unloader braces are also similarly beneficial after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery needs to be examined. Therefore the investigators questioned whether wearing a brace that has previously been shown to increase strength and function in OA patients can also increase strength and function in patients after TKA.

The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for the commercially available G7 BiSpherical Acetabular Shell.

MicroPort Orthopedics (MPO) is conducting this post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its total hip arthroplasty (THA) components marketed in the European Union (EU). These types of studies are required by regulatory authorities for all THA devices that do not have medium to long-term clinical evidence available at the time of gaining approval to market in the EU. This study has been designed in accordance with the medial device directives (MEDDEV) 2.12/2 rev 2.

The investigators will compare the effect of spinal anesthesia to general anesthesia on the level of high sensitivity cardiac biomarkers in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty. The investigators will also measure renal biomarkers in urine to evaluate kidney injury in the postoperative period.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TRM-201 (rofecoxib) versus Placebo in the treatment of patients with hemophilic arthropathy (HA) over a 12-week period (Part I) that is followed by a year-long (52 week) open-label extension (Part II) to further evaluate the safety and maintenance of efficacy of TRM-201.

The purpose of the study is the evaluation of the clinical and radiological long-term performance of the balanSys UNI fix in a multicenter routine clinical setting.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate two different currently accepted surgical treatments for UAS (ulnocarpal abutment syndrome). The hypothesis is that ulnar shortening osteotomy procedure will be associated with longer surgical time and increased complication rate when compared to the wafer procedure. It is unclear as to whether there will be a difference in functional outcome between the two groups.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two types of operative treatment in terms of resolving symptoms, improving function and also with respect to x-ray outcomes. The hypothesis is that insertion of a spacer will provide similar symptomatic relief, but improved long term gains in key and tripod pinch strength when compared to LRTI.

This is a phase IV, randomized, single-blind, single-center study comparing calculated total blood loss, surgical drain output and hematoma formation in patients who receive 2 doses of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) versus control group undergoing revision total shoulder arthroplasty. Patients will be randomized to either receive 2 doses of IV TXA, first dose prior to surgical incision and second dose given 3 hours later or to the control group, where no TXA will be administered.

The use of cementless femoral stems is known to provide satisfactory long-term clinical results. Extensive and durable osseointegration of these implants has been reported in numerous series, despite the use of stems with different geometry and coating distribution. This study will validate the performance and safety of the HYPE (SERF) stems in the context of the 93/42/EEC directive and in relation to the recommendations of the MEDDEV 2.7.1 (Guideline for post-marketing follow-up), which provides for a systematic procedure for monitoring clinical data in order to verify the performance claimed for medical devices.
