Exploring the Mechanism of Plaque Rupture in Acute Coronary Syndrome Using Coronary CT Angiography...
Acute Myocardial InfarctionUnstable AnginaThe EMERALD II study is a multinational, multicenter, and retrospective study. ACS patients who underwent CCTA from 1 months to 3 years prior to the event will be retrospectively identified. Plaques in the non-culprit vessels will be regarded as a primary control group.
Achilles Tendon Elongation and Gait Pattern After Rupture.
Achilles Tendon RuptureThe objective of this study is to determine if Achilles tendon elongation and gait pattern differ between patients treated using an individualized treatment algorithm and patients treated as usual (two control groups; patients treated operatively and non-operatively). The individualized treatment algorithm is based on ultrasonographic status of tendon overlap and Copenhagen Achilles Length Measure (1). Patients are allocated for operative treatment if there the tendon overlap is less than 25 % or the tendon is elongated with 7% or more compared to the healthy, contralateral achilles tendon.
The Value of Amniopatch in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes
Preterm Premature Rupture of MembraneA randomized controlled trial that involved 100 women diagnosed with PPROM between 24 and 34 weeks of gestational age. Participants were randomized equally into 2 groups. Group I in which amniopatch was done (an amnioinfusion of platelet concentrate followed by fresh frozen plasma in addition to the routine management used in the control group. Group II were treated with routine management including antibiotics and corticosteroids
Infraclavicular or Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Blocks for Elbow Surgery
Cubital Tunnel SyndromeBiceps Tendon RuptureThis study compares the infraclavicular approach to supraclavicular approach of brachial plexus block for elbow surgery.
Treatment Results After Acute Rupture of the Achilles Tendon.
Rupture of Achilles TendonTo compare the end-results of three different methods of treatment of acute achilles tendon ruptures, it is necessary to establish identical rehabilitation protocols. Traditionally, early mobilization has been reserved for patients treated surgically and this may have unintentionally skewed treatment results. The investigators have therefore designed a prospective randomized trial performed as collaboration between Akershus University Hospital (Ahus), Oslo University Hospital (The Emergency Department), Østfold Hospital (Fredrikstad) and Drammen Hospital. The four institutions were chosen because of their geographical proximity and because they jointly have a substantial catchment area. Treatment is divided into three arms, and patients between 18 and 60 years of age sustaining first time achilles tendon ruptures will be invited to participate.
Khalifa Effectiveness Study
Total Rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in the KneeThe primary hypothesis is that Khalifa's therapy brings additional benefit compared to standard therapy (physiotherapy) for patients with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Simultaneous Multiple Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions Using a Single Achilles Allograft
Rupture of Posterior Cruciate LigamentRupture of Anterior Cruciate LigamentThis study introduce cases of simultaneous multiple cruciate ligament reconstructions with a single free tendon Achilles allograft using new technique.
Effect of Tunnel Placements on Clinical and MRI Findings Two Years After ACL Reconstruction With...
Anterior Cruciate Ligament RupturePurpose: To find out whether the clinical and MRI findings two years after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction were associated with each other so that MRI-based graft invisibility in the anteromedial (AM) graft would have an impact on anteroposterior stability of the knee, and MRI-based posterolateral (PL) graft invisibility on rotational stability of the knee. Methods: 75 patients. One experienced orthopaedic surgeon performed all double-bundle (DB) ACL reconstructions. Two independent examiners made the clinical examinations at the two-year follow-up: clinical examination of the knee, KT-1000, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm knee evaluation scores and IKDC functional score. The MRI evaluations were made by two musculoskeletal radiologists separately and the means of these measurements were used.
The Influence of Growth Factors (PDGF), Applied as Autologous Thrombocyte Concentrate, on Functional...
Rotator Cuff RuptureSubacromial ImpingementThe purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the application of PRP leads to faster wound healing, less wound healing disorders, less pain and faster functional recovery after subacromial surgery.
Single Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Active Young Men
Anterior Cruciate Ligament RuptureThe clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using free tendon Achilles allograft are comparable to those using Achilles allograft with bone block on its end.
