10 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Randomized Controlled Study to determine if preservation of ligaments provides increased functional ability post-operatively in comparison to traditional TKA which sacrifices soft tissue.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate performance of the Vanguard 360 revision knee system utilizing offset on either the tibial component, femoral component, or both in terms of the restoration of mechanical alignment, clinical outcomes and survivorship.
The study aims to determine how historical cases of respiratory abnormalities are documented by clinicians in the electronic health records (EHR) of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System (MHHS) inpatient facilities. The knowledge gained from this study will support the design of modern data-driven surveillance approach to continuously collect, monitor and timely recognize postoperative respiratory abnormalities using electronic healthcare recorded data.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate clinical performance for the commercially available Persona TM Tibia used in primary cementless tibia total knee arthroplasty.
The objective of this study is to evaluate clinical performance for the commercially available NexGen TM Monoblock Tibia and NexGen TM Modular Tibia used in primary cementless tibia total knee arthroplasty.
It is a non-randomized, consecutive enrollment, 10-year follow-up study of patients who are treated with the Ascension® HRA. Its purpose is to measure and document the outcomes associated with implanting the Ascension HRA prosthesis. Patients will be periodically assessed to collect data related to safety and effectiveness endpoints at the following intervals: preoperative, surgery/immediate post-op, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 year, and 10 years.
Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) is a rare human neuromusculoskeletal disorder present before birth, involving primarily limb and craniofacial deformities. The hypotheses in the present study of FSS and related conditions are: (1) FSS and related conditions are associated with higher rates of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), depression, and reduced quality of life than is observed in the general population; (2) persons close to an individual with FSS or related condition suffer similarly; and (3) current measures, which are single-disease specific (i.e., PTSS, depression, craniofacial deformities, or limb deformities), do not capture the unique picture of FSS and related conditions, which involve both limb and craniofacial deformities in an intellectually capable individual. There have been no studies looking at quality of life associated with FSS. Some authors have looked at quality of life in persons with facial differences; other authors have looked at bone and joint problems. Many other authors have looked at PTSS and depression caused by health problems and bad medical experiences. No authors have looked at these problems when they happen together, as they do in FSS. Because of the above, there may be differences in patients that have FSS versus patients in previous quality of life studies. The study will also develop and validate an outcomes-based quality of life survey for FSS and related conditions.
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate equivalent clinical and radiologic outcomes as "gold standard" (Autologous Bone Graft) in a representative clinical model (hindfoot fusions) STUDY HYPOTHESIS: Augment® Injectable is an equivalent bone grafting substitute to autologous bone graft in applications as shown by superiority analysis for safety and non-inferiority analysis for effectiveness STUDY RATIONALE: To evaluate a fully synthetic bone graft material to facilitate fusion in conditions or injuries requiring bone graft in a representative clinical fusion model and thus the opportunity to provide equivalent union rates as Autologous Bone Graft without necessitating an additional invasive procedure to harvest the graft
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the survivorship and efficacy of the Encore 3DKnee™ system in a group of patients who will receive the 3DKnee™ as a primary (first) orthopedic implant in the knee. Each knee will be designated as a separate subject and followed for a period of 2 years.
Evaluation of the performance and safety of the Catalyst CSR Shoulder System with clinical and radiographic results at multiple time points through 24 months postoperatively This study will be a prospective multi-center study conducted in the United States.
