Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

Adductor canal (AC) nerve block is a commonly used modality for postoperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). When the adductor canal is viewed by ultrasound, the femoral artery and femoral vein can easily be identified, however, the nerve that is to be blocked is often not visible. For this reason, the femoral artery is used as a landmark for the block. There currently are no studies examining the optimal placement of the nerve block catheter relative to the femoral artery in the canal. The goal of this study will be to examine the relationship between nerve catheter tip location relative to femoral artery within the adductor canal for continuous AC nerve blocks. The investigators specifically will compare postoperative pain as well as incidence of vascular puncture during the procedure and time to complete the procedure for two different catheter locations.

This preliminary pilot study is a single-centre, prospective, uncontrolled, 32-month study to assess the performance of personalised opening wedge High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) treatment using the TOKA® device and procedure. The medical device being examined is a custom-made device and therefore does not require a CE mark. Furthermore, the study will serve as a useful method of gathering clinical data and measuring device performance, as well as establishing a potential commercial relationship with the hospital administration. Study Objectives:: to assess the morphology of the knee joint and the improvement of OA following the TOKA® treatment. to Assess the functional outcome of the knee joint and the improvement of OA following the TOKA® treatment. Outcomes Evaluations:: The morphology of the knee joint is assessed by verifying the matching between the planned correction and the post-operative imaging results, along with the investigation of the maintenance of the desired correction at the follow-up meetings. These results are measured through the correction angle, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA - mechanical axis), Mikulicz point (recorded as a percentage of the tibial width from the medial to the lateral region) and posterior slope, using the imaging techniques. The functional outcome of the knee joint is assessed by a) performing a gait analysis of the patients pre-operatively and post-operatively, b) the use of clinical scoring... .

The purpose of the research is to see if the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) at home would reduce knee pain and swelling in people with knee OA and/or chronic knee pain.

The investigators have created an interactive knee osteoarthritis (OA) risk calculator that estimates a user's risk of developing symptomatic knee OA as well as the user's risk for undergoing a total knee replacement (TKR) within their lifetime. To test the impact of the calculator, the investigators recruited OA-free subjects from Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Participants were randomized to either access general information about OA or use the risk calculator in addition to accessing general OA information. The investigators hypothesized that participants randomized to the risk calculator arm would have more accurate perception of their knee OA risk and would have increased willingness to change risky behavior compared to the general OA information group.

Stromal vascular fraction of cells (SVF) will be extracted from lipoaspirate by enzymatic digestion. SVF will be administered in a single dose intraarticularly 4 weeks after arthroscopic debridement. All patients will receive cell therapy.This is a single arm study with no control.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from umbilical cord in the treatment of human knee OA

Introduction: The osteoarthrosis is incurable, one of the most incapacitating disease around the world and your prevalence is increasing every year. The main consequences of this disease is pain and loss of functionality as a result of biomechanical limitations coming from articular inflammation. Among the variability of therapeutic resources, we propose MatPilates like a no drug intervention, that probably will contribute for a decrease in the symptoms of this disease. Objective: It is hypothesized that MatPilates is a method capable of decrease pain and increase functionality in elderly woman with osteoarthrosis. Methods: This study is a randomized double blind clinical trial, in which the volunteer need be in between 60 and 69 years old. Will be formed of two groups: MatPilates Group (MG) and Control Group (CG), and the ideal "n" will be calculated in a pilot study.

The objective of this study is to assess the medical and economic relevance of teleconsulting for Rehabilitation After Hip and Knee Surgical Procedures.

Hypothesis: Intraarticular injections of isotonic Xylitol solution will improve pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

This study has been designed to document the long-term outcome of the E1® Tibial Bearings used with the Vanguard® Knee System in 500 patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. All patients will receive the E1® Tibial Bearing in a Vanguard® knee replacement. Radiographic analysis and patient reported outcomes will be used as follow-up measures to track wear, mechanical performance, and patient satisfaction.
