Active clinical trials for "Joint Diseases"

Sponsor 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 MEDDEV 2.12/2 rev 2.

The specific aim is to compare the effectiveness of Off-the-Shelf splints and splints provided by Occupational Therapy for treatment of trapeziometacarpal (TMC) arthrosis.

This post market clinical follow-up study is designed to confirm safety and performance of the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder when used in hemi or total shoulder arthroplasty. The safety of the implant will be evaluated by monitoring the frequency and incidence of all kinds of adverse events. The performance will be determined by analyzing the implant survival, overall pain and functional performances (based on Constant & Murley score and ASES score), subject quality of life (EuroQol EQ5D) and radiographic parameters (e.g. radiolucencies, osteolysis, component migration) of study subjects who received the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder. The Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder is not approved for use in the US.

This study is being conducted to gather medium and long-term information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available DURALOC® Option Ceramic-on-Ceramic Hip Prosthesis System.

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of anakinra (Kineret) for treating patients with neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), also known as chronic infantile neurological, cutaneous and arthropathy (CINCA) syndrome. This disease can cause rash, joint deformities, brain inflammation, eye problems, and learning difficulties. Immune suppressing medicines commonly used to treat other pediatric rheumatologic diseases do not suppress NOMID symptoms and, if used long-term and in high doses, can cause harmful side effects. Anakinra, approved by The Food and Drug Administration for treating rheumatoid arthritis in adults, blocks a substance called IL-1 that may be an important factor in causing the inflammation in NOMID.

This prospective randomized trial aims to ascertain differences in outcome measures for the operative treatment of basilar thumb arthritis by comparing the two most common surgical treatments: LRTI and mini tightrope suspensionplasty. The Investigators will evaluate both subjective and objective data to determine if a particular surgical method offers more favorable outcomes.

Single center, prospective follow-up of previously implanted subjects

Interest of a highly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular component doped with vitamin E in total hip arthroplasty of the young and active subject.

This study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled clinical outcome study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate improvement of pain score at one year for the Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder. The secondary objective is collection of long term clinical outcomes.

There is currently no consensus amongst orthopedic specialists on the best way to treat 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures. No surgery and surgery with a type of shoulder replacement called a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty are two options that many orthopedists use. This study is being performed to evaluate the differences in short- and long-term pain and functional outcomes between patients who are treated with these two different options.
