Staged Versus Simultaneous Bilateral Knee Arthroplasty
Knee OsteoarthritisThe purpose of this study is to assist surgeons and patients in answering the question "Should I have both knees replaced at the same time, or should I just do one and wait to do the second one?"
Comparison of an Old Versus a New Total Knee Replacement
Osteoarthritis KneeA randomized controlled clinical and RSA study, comparing 2 knee implants: NexGen CR cemented total knee arthroplasty Persona CR cemented total knee arthroplasty 3 hospitals will participate in the study: Helse Bergen HF, Kysthospitalet i Hagavik (KIH) Helse Førde HF, Lærdal sykehus Helse Bergen HF, Haukeland universitetssykehus (HUS) 1-3 surgeons in each hospital will perform the operations. There will be 80 patients in the 2 groups; a total of 160 study patients will be included. 30 in each group will be included for RSA. Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) will be used to measure migration and subsidence of components in addition to regular radiographs. 3 different knee scoring systems will be used to evaluate satisfaction and function. An activity monitor will be used to assess real-life physical behavior and walking speed to assess objectively measured mobility. Data from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register will be used to investigate the risk of revision.

The Effect of Micro Fragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) on Knee Osteoarthritis
OsteoarthritisKnee1 moreThis is a non-surgical trial comparing the clinical and functional outcomes of patients with osteoarthritis treated with Intra-articular injection of Micro Fragmented Adipose Tissue versus conventional therapy of intra-articular injection of corticosteroid.
Efficacy of Micro-fragmented Adipose Tissue Injection for Knee Osteoarthritis.
Knee OsteoarthritisKnee osteoarthritis (OA) causes patients considerable joint pain and leads to instability, reduced range of motion, and functional limitations. Current treatment limitations have generated interest in alternative options to restore function and alleviate joint pain, some with the aim of healing damaged articular cartilage. There has been preliminary support in the literature for reduced pain and improved functional performance in patients who receive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as part of a treatment regimen. MSCs can be costly and are limited by complex regulatory issues. This interest in an alternative isolation method lead to the development of Lipogems. Lipogems is a technique to harvest, process, and inject minimally manipulated adipose tissue. This procedure is enzyme free and requires no clonal expansion or manipulation. The goal of this study is to evaluate the possible benefits of reduced joint pain and increased joint functionality in patients with knee osteoarthritis after the injection of Lipogems. In addition, given the limitations of prior research on the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroids, the investigators will also include this as an additional study group to compare to placebo. There have been case reports published showing favorable outcomes. This would be the first study reporting data on the efficacy of Lipogems for pain relief in knee OA in a randomized, controlled clinical trial with a larger sample of patients. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive an injection of Lipogems will experience a decrease in pain of the affected knee and an increase in joint functionality in comparison to placebo. The investigators also hypothesize that patients who receive an intra-articular corticosteroid will experience decreased pain or improved functionality in the affected joint compared to placebo.

Knee OsteoarthritisThe clinical trial will be carried out at the Dr. Moh. Hoesin Central Hospital, Palembang and planned from October 2022 to March 2023. This study aims to compare the efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma, Conditioned Medium From Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) Culture Secretome and hyaluronic acid for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis
Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MegaCarti® in Knee Cartilage Defects
OsteoarthritisKneeThe MegaCarti® is the decellularized allogeneic cartilage and acts as a cover after bone marrow stimulation to prevent the loss of blood clots and induces cartilage regeneration by assisting in the location of stem cells derived from bone marrow. The MegaCarti® is applied after Microfracture treatment on patients with Knee Cartilage Defects. The cartilage regeneration, which is a primary endpoint, is compared to the Microfracture group through MOCART evaluation. In addition, the improvement of pain and the recovery of Normal Range of motion are compared to the Microfracture group through secondary endpoints. Then, long-term follow-up study for 5 years is conducted to the experimental group.
Phase II Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of SL-1002 for Osteoarthritic Knee Pain
OsteoarthritisKnee PainThis is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose escalation study to assess the safety and efficacy of single treatment exposure of an injectable formulation of SL-1002 for the treatment of knee pain associated with osteoarthritis. Phase A of the study will enroll 3 cohorts of 8 patients per cohort, for a total of 24 patients. Patients will be randomized to receive either SL-1002 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio within each given cohort. Phase B of the study will enroll a minimum of 92 up to a maximum of 108 patients. Patients will be randomized to receive either SL-1002 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio at the recommended dose determined from Phase A. The study period will be up to 168 days inclusive of a screening period of up to 28 days.
