4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Slightly elevated blood metal levels have been found in adults undergoing hip and knee replacement. It is unknown whether pediatric patients with metal implant(plates/screws/rods) have elevated blood metal levels. This may have an impact on practice if children have high blood metal levels with routine orthopedic implants. If researchers find elevated metal levels, they may recommend patients to have the plates removed or may switch to a different type of metal. Further work on this topic is needed.
The purpose of this research is to understand whether patients who previously had total hip or total knee replacement experience memory, thinking or heart problems. This study will help us determine if and how often these problems occur.
The purpose of this research is to investigate whether patients who previously had endoprosthesis surgery experience memory, thinking, or heart problems. It will also help determine how often these problems occur.
This research study is being conducted to determine if taking oral (by mouth in pill form) Apatone®B (a combination of Vitamins C and K3) will reduce chronic joint discomfort and improve function of non-infected symptomatic postoperative total joint replacements.
