Hemiverse Shoulder Prosthesis

Rotator Cuff TearsHemiarthroplasty

This clinical trial investigates the safety and the preliminary clinical benefit of the hemiverse shoulder prosthesis. Implantation of this newly developed hemi-prosthesis is intended for patients who do not qualify for a regular reverse or hemi-prosthesis due to severe medical conditions, poor bone stock or critical status of the rotator cuff. The expected benefit is, that patients will have a minimally invasive surgical procedure, only addressing the humeral shaft, however with the biomechanical advantage of a total reverse shoulder prosthesis, meaning, that with a minimally invasive surgery a comparable result as with a regular total shoulder prosthesis is accomplished. Patients will be closely monitored within the study protocol for 24 months and thereafter in regular interval as with a normal prosthetic follow-up.

The Impact of a Preoperative Nerve Block on the Consumption of Sevoflurane in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty...

Rotator Cuff InjuriesAnesthesia; Functional

Total arthroplasty surgery of the shoulder is performed under general anesthesia. Pain control for after the surgery can be achieved purely with intravenous and oral pain medication or in combination with freezing of the nerves. Nerve freezing (nerve block) placed before surgery has the potential to substantially reduce the amount of inhaled anesthetic given to the patient during surgery. This can benefit the patient by minimizing the opioid usage after surgery and also reduce cost to the system in terms of duration of hospital stay. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the inclusion of a nerve block to the general anesthetic for total shoulder arthroplasty surgery will also reduce the amount of inhaled anesthetic and thereby lowering the environmental footprint from the anesthetic. The investigators of the proposed study plan to quantify the amount of inhaled anesthetic used for each case and will compare how the consumption is affected by whether the nerve block is applied before or after surgery. Patients will have a nerve block catheter (interscalene catheter) placed under ultrasound-guidance prior to the induction of general anesthetic by an experienced regional anesthesiologist. The nerve block catheter will be bolused with a solution to which the anesthesiologist is blinded which will either be local anesthetic or normal saline (sham). The general anesthetic will be conducted according to a the protocol with the aim of maintaining a standard anesthetic depth monitored by patient state index (PSI). Measurements of the MAC-Value (minimum alveolar concentration) of inhaled anesthetic will be recorded every five minutes and the total amount of volatile anesthetic (in ml and ml/kg) will be noted down by a blinded observer. At the end of the case the anesthesiologist blinded to the solution will inject another solution (now a saline (sham) or local anesthetic before the patient is woken up.

Ultrasound-Guided Treatments for Shoulder Pain in Wheelchair Users With Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal Cord InjuriesTendinopathy2 more

Rotator cuff disease (i.e., rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear) is a common cause of shoulder pain in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). It usually resolves with non-operative treatments such as pharmacological agents and physical therapy; however, when this fails, rotator cuff surgery may be the only option. Corticosteroid injections are another alternative to provide temporary relief, but can over time accelerate degeneration of the tendon and lead to further damage. Autologous adipose tissue injection has recently emerged as a promising new treatment for joint pain and soft tissue injury. Adipose can be used to provide cushioning and filling of structural defects and has been shown to have an abundance of bioactive elements and regenerative perivascular cells (pericytes). The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy of autologous, micro-fragmented adipose tissue (Lipogems®) injection under ultrasound guidance for chronic shoulder pain in persons with SCI compared with the standard-of-care, corticosteroid injection.

Effects of Progressive Resistance Training Combined With Traditional Physical Therapy in Patients...

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

A randomized control trial will be done on diagnosed Shoulder impingemnet patients with physical therapy screening in Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi. There is a growing demand on finding treatments which can be more beneficial and can be started early on in the treatment phase, nowadays. The purpose of the study is to determine the "effects of progressive resistance training combined with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome" using the resistance band and multipulley system. The traditional physical therapy will include hot pack placed on shoulder and neck region for ten minutes, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimular will be used and the electrodes will be placed on the desired area (shoulder complex) the intensity will be increased manually according to the capacity of the patient and the treatment time will be of 15 minutes, stretching exercises such as doorway stretch and foam roll supine stretch will be done in the hospital for first 3 weeks and the next 3 weeks will be for home exercises moving from 5 repetitions to 20 repetitions for a set of 3. stretch will be hold for 30 seconds

First-line Treatment for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome

Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome

There is sparse evidence on the effectiveness of first-line treatment in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) regarding clinical- and cost-effectiveness. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a supervised strength exercise intervention to usual first-line care in patients with FAIS. The main hypothesis it aims to investigate are: 6-months of supervised strength exercise intervention is superior (i.e., at least 6 points, on a scale from 0-100) to usual care in improving hip related quality of life in patients with FAIS at the end of intervention. 6-months of supervised strength exercise intervention is cost-effective compared to usual first-line care at 12-month follow-up in patients with FAIS. High exercise adherence and dosage will be superior to low exercise adherence and dosage in mediating clinical effectiveness in patients with FAIS.

Hip Arthroscopy Postoperative Opioid Demands

Opioid UsePain3 more

This study will be a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT), investigating the influence of the number of opioid pills prescribed following primary hip arthroscopy. All patients who sign the consent form will be enrolled in the suited and randomized to one of the two treatment arms. The intervention group will receive 5 Norco pills, gabapentin (30 mg, once daily for 10 days following surgery), and Tylenol (1000 mg, three times daily for 10 days following surgery) while the control will receive the standard at our practice of 30 Norco pills.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation(PNS) for Subacromial Impingement Syndrome(SIS)

Shoulder PainShoulder Impingement Syndrome4 more

Shoulder pain accounts for 16% of all musculoskeletal complaints in the healthy adult population. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is the most common cause of shoulder pain. Many patients with chronic pain from subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) will fail treatment efforts and have longstanding pain. This project will evaluate the efficacy of a novel approach to treatment, percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation, for participants with chronic shoulder pain due to subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).

RSA vs RCR for Massive RCTs

Rotator Cuff Tears

Different treatment options are available for massive or irreparable rotator cuff tears. An arthroscopic or an open repair approach is possible in the majority of cases and functional outcomes are improved, particularly when a complete arthroscopic repair can be achieved. However, the healing rate of massive rotator cuff tears after repair may remain low and failure of healing is associated with progression of arthritis. An alternative to arthroscopic or open repair is reverse shoulder arthroplasty which decreases pain and improves function, active shoulder elevation and quality of life. The primary goal of this prospective multicentric randomized study is to determine if there is a difference of functional outcomes between rotator cuff repair (RCR) repair and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
