Efficacy and Tolerance of Sodium Thiosulfate Injection After Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Irrigation...

Calcific Tendinitis of the Rotator Cuff

Calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff is a common cause of chronic pain of the shoulder. US- guided needling and lavage of the calcification is one of the therapeutic options after failure of conservative management with physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory drugs. The goal of this procedure is to remove the calcific deposit that is believed to cause the sub-acromial impingement. However, studies have shown that complete and rapid disappearance of the calcification deposit after irrigation is rare. The treatment is thought to promote the spontaneous resorption that occurs the weeks and months after the procedure. However, due to this slow process, time to complete recovery can be long. Moreover, it has been shown an association between the amount of removed calcium and improved outcome. Therefore, there is a need to find a way to remove quickly and completely the calcific deposit after irrigation. Sodium thiosulfate has been used successfully in the treatment of calciphylaxis and subcutaneous calcification deposit. The mechanism of action involves chelation of calcium into calcium thiosulfate salts which are much more soluble than other salts of calcium. Our hypothesis is that injection of sodium thiosulfate after irrigation of the calcification will help to dissolve the calcific deposit and thus prompt the disappearance of the calcification.

Treatment of Acute and Chronic Ligament and Tendon Injuries With Platelet Rich Plasma

Tendinopathy

Platelet rich plasma has been used in previous studies to stimulate faster healing of torn ligaments and tendons in order to help reduce pain and restore normal function. This study aims to prove that non-operative treatment of acute and chronic ligament and tendon injuries with platelet rich plasma will reduce the time needed for participants to heal these injuries and restore function. We are currently enrolling patients with PATELLAR TENDON INJURIES in the KNEE.

Achilles Tendinosis Study; Comparison of Radiofrequency to Surgical MicroDebridement

Achilles PainAchilles Tendinosis1 more

This is a research study to evaluate the outcomes after the study procedure for pain and discomfort in the heel caused from an injury in the Achilles tendon which is located on the back of the foot (commonly called "Achilles tendinitis"-Achilles tendinosis) that has not gotten better with medicine and/or other therapy. Researchers want to see if using the study device changes outcomes for 1 year after the study procedure.

Chronic Insertional Achilles Tendonitis Treated With or Without Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Transfer...

Chronic Insertional Achilles Tendonitis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Achilles tendon debridement and decompression augmented with flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer results in improved clinical and functional outcome as measured by ankle plantar flexion strength and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score compared to debridement and decompression alone in patients over 50 years of age with chronic insertional Achilles tendinosis. H0: There will be no difference in ankle plantar flexion strength measured using a handheld dynamometer between patients randomized to achilles tendon decompression and debridement alone (Group 1) and patients randomized to achilles tendon decompression and debridement augmented with FHL transfer (Group 2). HA: Patients randomized to achilles tendon decompression and debridement alone (Group 1) will have less ankle plantar flexion strength compared to patients randomized to achilles tendon decompression and debridement augmented with FHL transfer (Group 2).

Accuracy of Needle Placement Into The Subacromial Space of The Shoulder

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

This study attempts to determine the most accurate route for injection of the subacromial bursa in patients with rotator cuff tendonitis. Typically, in medical practice, one of the routes of injection is used. It has not been determined if one route is superior, or if all routes are equal in delivering medication into the subacromial bursa, which sits on top of the rotator cuff tendons.

Long Duration Therapeutic Ultrasound for Tendon Healing

TendinopathyTendinitis1 more

ZetrOZ's Ultrasonic Diathermy device (sam(R) Professional System) is intended for use as a portable and wearable medical device which, when applied to various areas of the body applies Low Intensity Therapeutic Ultrasound (LITUS) to deep tissues. This device is FDA-cleared for pain reduction, treatment of muscle spasm and joint contracture, and increasing local circulation. This study will look at the use of therapeutic ultrasound to relieve pain and enhance tendon extensibility for individuals with tendinopathy over a 6 week time period.
