Active clinical trials for "Joint Diseases"

The researchers wish to investigate whether proton pump inhibitors, administered prior to or after surgery, can reduce the incidence and/or severity of difficulty swallowing foods and/or liquids,following anterior cervical surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences in clinical outcomes between the Optetrak® Posterior Stabilized ("Optetrak® PS", Exactech, Gainesville, FL) and the Optetrak® Hi-Flex™ ("Optetrak® HF", Exactech, Gainesville, FL) knee designs.

The main aim and scope of this study is making comparison about the thrombelastography and coagulation function in patients before and after the total knee arthroplasty with intra-articular tranexamic acid administration. The results may identify the influence of the intra-articular tranexamic acid administration on the relative coagulability monitoring.

The study is a nationwide, register-based cohort survey study. The objective of this study is to investigate whether weight change is associated with the incidence of persistent postoperative pain following total hip arthroplasty and knee arthroplasty across non-obese and obese and patients.

The purpose of the study is the rate of return to sport (regardless of the sport envisaged) after a minimum of 3 years after total knee prosthesis.

Robotic arthroplasty is increasing in acceptance on a global scale as a result of advancements in orthopedic surgery technology. The investigators aimed to share their anesthesia management experience as well as compare robotic unilateral total hip arthroplasty with conventional surgical technique in this retrospective study.

Background. Hemophilia is characterized by the development of a progressive, degenerative, intra-articular lesion (hemophilic arthropathy). This arthropathy presents with chronic pain, limited range of motion, axial changes, and periarticular muscle atrophy. Goal. To analyze the clonic, functional and musculoskeletal differences between adult patients with hemophilic arthropathy of the knee and ankle and their healthy peers. Study design. Cases and controls study patients. 21 patients with hemophilia A and B and 21 subjects without joint damage. Variables and measuring instruments: pressure pain threshold (pressure algometer); joint status (Hemophilia Joint Health Score scale); and strength (dynamometry) and muscle activation (surface electromyography). Expected results. Observe the differences between patients with knee and ankle arthropathy and their healthy peers in muscle strength and activation.

This longitudinal follow-up study aims to analyze how surgical and patient characteristics affect clinical outcomes in the subjects received total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemiarthroplasty (HA).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of healing rate of ankle fusion using modified retrograde IM femoral nail with plate in charcot ankle

Trauma, neurological disorders and psychological problems, which are the etiological factors of temporomandibular joint dysfunction, can be seen in patients with traumatic brain injury. The aim of this study is to investigate temporomandibular joint dysfunction in patients with traumatic brain injury. Participants (traumatic brain injury patients and healthy volunteers) will be evaluated once for temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
