9 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Management of severe injuries to the heel (displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures) continues to be a major challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Previous studies have demonstrated poor outcomes, and results show that patients experience long-term pain and decreased quality of life postoperatively. Poor outcomes are driven by pain, in particular, which is linked to post-traumatic subtalar arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel dynamic sustained compression intramedullary nail for subtalar (talocalcaneal) arthrodesis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel dynamic sustained compression intramedullary nail for subtalar (talocalcaneal) arthrodesis.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the outcome of implanting AlloStem® graft with appropriate rigid internal fixation hardware as an alternative to autograft bone graft with rigid fixation in subtalar arthrodesis procedures. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to compare the overall fusion rate of the investigational to the control treatment. Fusion will be determined by clinical findings, radiographs and computed tomography (CT) of the subtalar joint 24 weeks (6 months) after the trial surgery.
The purpose of this study is to utilize Trinity Evolution as a graft source in foot/ankle fusions and to follow the subjects to measure the clinical outcomes and fusion rate. The hypothesis of the study is that Trinity Evolution will result in fusion rates and clinical outcomes similar to those obtained from autograft and other routinely used allograft materials; these include: fusion, improvement in pain, improvement in function, and absence of adverse events related to the use of the graft source.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel sustained dynamic compression intramedullary nail for tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis utilizing longitudinal weight-bearing computed tomographic imaging. Of particular focus will be assessment of compressive element recovery and its relation to fusion development over time and weight-bearing status. Additionally, the study will incorporate longitudinal fusion assessment to evaluate differences between three-dimensional weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) scans and two-dimensional radiographs (X-rays) at multiple points of the fusion process. Finally, the study will evaluate the differences in WBCT-based fusion assessment between automated and manual methodologies for fusion area calculation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel sustained dynamic compression intramedullary nail for tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis.
The objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate the mid-term results and intraoperative and postoperative complication rate in patients who underwent double or triple arthrodesis using CCS screws.
