Biomaterials and Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells in the Treatment of Knee Articular Surface Lesions...

Knee InjuriesCartilage Injury1 more

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the combined single-step approach with biomaterials and mesenchymal stem/stromal cells in the treatment of knee articular surface lesions. The clinical analysis of the treatment outcomes, regarding postoperative improvements and safety, is going to be accompanied with laboratory analysis of the intraoperatively applied cellular products. The main hypothesis are: (1) such combined single-step procedure significantly improves patients' functioning and quality of life; (2) this therapeutic approach is safe; (3) cellular parameters of the applied filtered bone marrow aspirate (fBMA) impact treatment outcomes, among other potential predictors. Researchers will compare subjective (questionnaire) and objective (clinical examination) status of patients before and after the operation, record any potential complications and perform regression analysis to assess the influence of potential predictors on postoperative improvements.

The Efficacy and Safety of Electronic Stimulation in Patients Who Underwent Reconstruction of the...

Knee Injuries

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Myospare, a non-invasive device, which is connected to the body via electrodes placed in the injured leg. The electrodes which are placed in the middle or upper thigh will stimulate the quadriceps muscle. Myospare will be installed 1 day after the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery and will be removed after 6 weeks of treatment. The patients will be assigned to two groups: Physiotherapy plus Myospare Only physiotherapy The hypothesis of the study is that electrical stimulation combined with voluntary exercise is more effective than voluntary exercise alone.

Exploration of Knee Injuries Using 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging at the University...

Traumatic Knee InjuryKnee

The knee is the most stressed and exposed joint in sports practice (70 to 85% of Anterior Cruciate Ligament ruptures occur during sports activities). Although traumatic knee injuries are already described in radiology and 1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla MRI, there are cases of post-traumatic knee pain with a normal MRI (with a risk of underestimating a traumatic injury that may worsen without appropriate treatment) and cases of "ambiguous" MRI findings (uncertainty between low or high-grade ligament or meniscal injury, presence or absence of meniscal attachments, complete versus partial rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, associated cartilage lesion versus intact cartilage), which directly impact orthopedic or surgical therapeutic management.

Effectiveness of a Protocol of Specific Activation.

Injuries:Knee Injuries

In football, knee is the joint that suffers the most severe injuries. Sometimes, this is produced by poor pre-activation of the musculature that is responsible for knee stability and central stability. OBJETIVE: Study the efficacy of specific gluteus medius and core activation protocol in knee stability in youth football players.

Utilization of Rehabilitation Prior to Surgery Among Patients With Anterior-cruciate Ligament Knee...

Anterior-cruciate Ligament Knee Injury

This research aims to assess physiotherapy utilization in the treatment of patients with an anterior-cruciate ligament knee injury, when delivered before their surgery (prehab), and its potential effects on absence from work, and patients global health consumptions (before and after the surgery).

Optimizing Plyometric Training for Functional Recovery Post-ACL Reconstruction

Anterior Cruciate Ligament InjuryKnee Injury

While surgical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) of the knee restores passive stability, studies are showing consistently poor long-term outcomes. Unusually high risks of early-onset osteoarthritis and re-injury, and low rate of return to sport following ACLR all seem to be related to a chronic tendency to land stiff-legged from a jump or hop, which itself may be due to fear of re-injury. Decreased knee bending for force absorption simultaneously decreases performance level and increases risk for injury and arthritic changes. The purpose of the proposed study is to compare a current best-practice plyometric training program to one utilizing body weight support to increase repetition and improve performance in the initial phases. The investigators hypothesize that we will see larger improvements in absorptive capacity of the knee and better confidence in activity immediately following body weight support training, as well as improved retention of training effects after a two-month period.

Comparison of Three Surgical Techniques to Achieve Patella Symmetry During Resection

ArthroplastyReplacement3 more

This research was performed to determine which of the three techniques used by knee surgeons at the Mayo Clinic was the most accurate at the surgical removal (resection) of the knee-cap (patella) in a symmetric fashion during total knee replacement (arthroplasty). Although all three techniques are known to be effective, the three techniques had never been compared to one another to determine if one was more effective than the others at resecting the patella.
