Active clinical trials for "Tendon Injuries"

This prospective randomised study aimed to test the investigators's hypothesis that anti-gravity treadmill therapy has beneficial effects on postural stability tests over a standard rehabilitation protocol in patients who have suffered traumatic injuries of the lower limb, demonstrating an improvement in the Biodex platform's values. The total of 30 patients participated in this study (n=30). There were 15 subjects in control group and 15 in experimental group.

The study will be looking at acute changes in Achilles tendon properties and changes in a vertical single leg hop following an exercise intervention. The three exercise interventions will be randomized and take place on separate days 1 week apart. The three exercise interventions are AAROM, slow load, and plyometrics.

Randomized clinical study involving 44 patients, evaluating the effect of mesenchymal cells on rotator cuff repair. The primary outcome will be post-operative MRI tendon integrity and secondary outcomes clinical assessment by the UCLA and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scales and pain by visual analog scale (VAS).

The main purpose of the study is to investigate self-reported functional ability of patients undergoing conservatively treated achilles tendon rupture at 6, 12 and 24 months from the date of injury.

A multi-center, prospective patient registry: subscapularis repair augmented with TAPESTRY® Biointegrative Implant after shoulder arthroplasty. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term integrity of the subscapularis tendon repair after shoulder arthroplasty augmented with TAPESTRY Biointegrative Implant, assessed by ultrasound 6 months postoperatively. Secondary objectives are to assess shoulder function (internal rotation strength), safety, and patient reported outcomes. Patients will be evaluated preoperatively, at the time of surgery, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.

In order to gather enough data for meaningful statistics, a multicenter register of all flexor tendon repairs was established with surgical, clinical and rehabilitation patient data. The controlled active motion (CAM) protocol was administered in all patients after surgery. The purpose was to (i) measure surgery and therapy outcomes in the three centers and (ii) evaluate potential influencing factors on outcomes.

This is a prospective, single-center study design with enrollment of 15 subjects. The 15 subjects will all undergo standard gluteus medius repair that includes augmentation with the biointegrative implant. This is a small observational study. As such, we expect that the results from 15 subjects will give an adequate understanding of post surgical healing.

Injury to the flexor tendons of the fingers of the hand is a frequent and disabling injury, since it produces tendon retraction and functional limitation. A prompt and adequate diagnosis and treatment is required to minimize the risk of tendon retraction, re-rupture, reoperation rate, and the presence of tendon adhesions that limit the range of motion. On occasions, the limitation of the articular balance of the MCP, PIP and DIP joints generates a loss of strength and difficult in completely closing the fingers to the palm of the hand.

Human clinical trial to measure the effect of long duration therapeutic ultrasound on tendon injuries. The hypothesis is that use of long duration ultrasound will relieve pain, increase tendon strength, and improve quality of life for patients with tendon injury.

Flexors tendon injuries are frequent and serious with a potential of definitive functional aftereffects. In the case of partial injury, the treatment is debated. There are 2 techniques of possible repair, the direct suture and the tangential resection. The investigators have already demonstrated that this last technique was favorable for injuries going to 50 %. In the case of partial section between 50 and 75 %, the investigators think that the technique of tangential resection compared with the direct suture would not increase the risks of secondary breaks, would authorize even an immediate mobilization and would decrease the secondary complications. The main objective is to highlight that the tangential resection is not lower than the classic technique on the clinical plan The secondary objectives are to highlight the non-inferiority of the tangential technique in clinical terms (pains, dexterity, complications), radiologics (MRI, ultrasound) and functional (function, go back to leisures and professional activities)
