Although total knee replacement (TKR) improves pain in numerous patients, it does not resolve many of the substantial functional limitations and physical inactivity that existed for a long time prior to the surgery. Exercise is an intervention that could improve these long-term limitations. To promote these improvements, exercise should be implemented at later stage post TKR when patients can tolerate doses of exercise sufficiently high to promote substantial changes. To date, we just don't have enough good research to tell us which type of exercise works best for which patients and under which circumstances at later stage post TKR. This research study will provide evidence for recommended interventions during the later stage post TKR. The specific research questions are: (1) How do group exercise in the community and individual exercise in rehabilitation clinic compare with usual medical care on physical function and activity outcomes? (2) Who are the patients most likely to respond to each exercise intervention? (3) Are the approaches safe?
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 Investigation will be conducted as a single-submission, multi-center study with approval from and in compliance of the Western Institutional Review Board (WIRB). The overall objective of this Investigation is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System (RIO) Total Knee Arthroplasty Application. Specifically, the study objectives are classified as follows: * Primary Objective: Surgeon assessment of standardized TKA complications both intra-operatively and at short term follow up. * Secondary Objective: Radiographic assessment of post-operative limb alignment. * Supporting Objective: Patient assessment of post-operative function and satisfaction.
The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for commercially available Persona fixed bearing knee implants used in total knee arthroplasty. The assessment will include implant survivorship and clinical performance measured by pain and function, quality of life data, radiographic parameters and survivorship.
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 primary objectives of this evaluation are: 1) To attempt to refine the current clinical understanding of "balance" 2) To determine if patients with quantifiably balanced knee joints exhibit improved clinical outcomes versus patient with residual imbalance, as measured by the VERASENSE™ Knee System Secondary objectives: * Determine whether a difference in inter-compartment loads and soft tissue tension exists between the physicians intra-operative feel compared to the quantifiable data measured by the VERASENSE™ Knee System * Determine which ligament releases are performed by the surgeon to improve soft tissue balance while utilizing the information from the VERASENSE™ Knee System * Evaluate range of motion, pain, physical function, activity level, and patient satisfaction between baseline (pre-operative) and post-operative follow-up as well as radiographic success and survivorship of the knee implants
The VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL; NCT 01169259) is a randomized clinical trial in 25,871 U.S. men and women investigating whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D3 (2000 IU) or omega-3 fatty acids (Omacor® fish oil, 1 gram) reduces the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses. This ancillary study is being conducted among VITAL participants and will examine whether vitamin D or fish oil have effects upon A) autoimmune disease incidence, B) biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and C) chronic knee pain. Blood samples at baseline and in follow-up will be collected in a randomly selected subcohort of 1500 individuals and analyzed for changes in biomarkers of systemic inflammation: C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-receptor 2. Approximately 1300 individuals with chronic, frequent knee pain will be followed with annual questionnaires to evaluate the effects of the supplements on chronic knee pain.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of anti-TNF therapy on rheumatoid arthritis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound imaging. Anti-TNF therapies include a group of medications such as Enbrel, Remicade and Humira that affect your body's inflammatory response. These medications are routinely prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
The primary purpose of TKA Randomized Clinical Trial- Cemented versus Cementless Tibial Prosthesis Study will determine whether there is a significant difference in patient-reported and measured clinical outcomes (e.g. pain, function, length of recovery, and patient satisfaction) between subjects treated with a cementless tibial prosthesis (the cementless group) and those treated with cemented tibial prosthesis (the cement group) over the first two postoperative years. Radiographs will be assessed before surgery and at established post-operative intervals to determine if there are any significant differences between patients in the two groups and to assess the influence of component fixation on radiographic stability over time. Complication and revision rates will also be assessed for comparison.
