Active clinical trials for "Joint Diseases"

The KAPPa project has the aim to create an international database in which information about clinical features, therapeutic management, burden of illness and costs of severe and moderate haemophilia A patients from different countries and sites is collected. The aim of this project is to analyse the influence of such different characteristics on medical, psychosocial and economic outcomes in patients over the long-term.

The purpose of this prospective clinical data-collection is to document the performance and clinical outcomes of the Microplasty Tibial Tray.

This retrospective study aims to improve the diagnosis of PJI as well as to identify microorganisms causing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and the drug-resistant spectrum

This study will take place in Egypt. Undergraduate students from different faculties of the Egyptian Universities will participate. The study began in December 2020.

The patients who applied to the hospital for orthodontic treatment were asked various questions to evaluate their oral health related quality of life, malocclusions and self reported temporomandibular joint problems.

Individuals who were diagnosed with reduction disc displacement by Research Diagnostic criteria for Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD / RDC) were included in the study. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises were performed for 30 minutes using neck jaw and tongue patterns with rhythmic stabilization (RS) and combination of isotonics (CI) techniques by physiotherapist. Maximal mouth openings were measured with caliper, pain intensities were measured with visual analogue scale and pressure pain thresholds with hand algometer.

The surgical techniques described in the literature for surgical management of diabetic charcot arthropathy of the foot and ankle include simple exostectomy, open reduction and internal fixation of neuropathic fractures, external fixation, arthrodesis, Achilles tendon lengthening. Patients are followed up at 1 year postoperative by an x-ray of the foot and ankle anteroposterior , lateral and oblique views to assess rate of union ,the correction of deformity by measuring the foot angles . The functional outcome is assessed by the AOFAS scoring system and the diabetic foot ulcer scaoeuulcer scale(18).

Sacroiliac joint pain reduction and radiographic evidence of SIJ fusion will be collected to evaluate clinical performance of the SImmetry Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System.

The regime in the aftercare after total hip and knee arthroplasty(THA/TKA) differs a lot between orthopedic surgeons concerning weight bearing. The type of implant and the way of implants' anchoring are considered. In the literature there is no data so far about the way patient take care of the recommended weight bearing during the first 6 weeks after THA and TKA. Over a one year period starting August 2010 all patients undergoing TKA or THA at the investigators institution will have a technical device in their shoes (sole) to measure the load in each step they do in these shoes during the first 6 weeks. Patients are asked to fill out a standardised pain protocol every day (VAS) and document need of pain medication. The investigators recommend 20kg of weight on the operated leg for 6 weeks and full weight bearing at the end of week six. The investigators believe that patients will adjust weight bearing to their level of pain and not to their surgeons recommendations.

The objective of this study is to design a library of biomechanical musculoskeletal models of patients before and after surgery. These models will be evaluated to analyze the support they can provide for virtual surgical planning in orthopedics.
