11 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to compare two different antibiotic regimens and techniques during total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Primary Objective: Comparable levels of vancomycin will be found in bone, soft tissue, and systemic samples between patient groups. Secondary Objective: Compare 30 day and 90 day post-operative complication rates (infection) between the control (standard IV administration of vancomycin) vs the interventional group (intraosseous administration of vancomycin). The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in complication (infection) rates between groups.
Patients who have had a total ankle joint replacement surgery typically have limited movement in their ankles possibly due to the fact that commonly used ankle joint prosthetic devices only allow limited axes of motion. This study will evaluate the ability of a Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement (STAR) mobile-bearing prosthesis and INBONE 2 fixed-bearing prosthesis to restore triplanar motion in the tibiotalar (ankle) joint following a surgical arthroplasty (total joint replacement) procedure. 3D X-ray video motion analysis will be utilized to quantify range of motion measurements in two groups of ankle prosthesis users and a group of matched control participants.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the radiographic outcomes of Total Ankle Arthroplasty in patients having a calcaneal stem.
To compare the rate of wound complications with the PICO dressing versus a standard nonstick gauze dressing in patients undergoing anterior total ankle arthroplasty.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double blinded, active controlled study in approximately 120 subjects undergoing lower extremity surgeries.
The goal of this prospective randomized double-blind study is to determine if an ultrasound guided peri-arterial injection of local anesthetic (LA) superomedially the femoral artery via peripheral nerve catheter reverses ischemic hypertension associated with prolonged lower extremity tourniquet time.
The purpose of this prospective randomized double-blind study is to determine if the novel technique of ultrasound guided peri-arterial injection of local anesthetic around the femoral artery decreases ischemic hypertension associated with prolonged lower extremity tourniquet time during total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and foot fusion surgeries. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either local anesthetic or saline, which will be injected superomedially to the femoral artery in an attempt to block sympathetic afferents and decrease tourniquet associated hypertension intraoperatively.
The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcome data for commercially available Zimmer Trabecular Metal Total Ankle implants used in primary or revision total ankle arthroplasty. The assessment will include implant survivorship and clinical performance measured by pain and function, quality of life data, radiographic parameters and survivorship.
The primary objective of this study is to collect preoperative, operative and postoperative clinical assessments of patients that qualify for surgical implantation of the INBONE™ Total Ankle Prosthesis.
This is a research study which is being done to determine the outcomes following Agility LP ankle replacement. This implant was approved by the FDA in 2007 and has been used since then with good early results. You are being asked to volunteer for this study because you have undergone Total Ankle Arthroplasty with Agility LP prosthesis. The purpose of the study is to compare the range of motion, level of pain and function during daily living prior to and after your ankle surgery.
Currently, continuous adductor canal and popliteal-sciatic nerve blocks are used commonly for lower extremity post-operative pain control, specifically for total knee arthroplasty and foot/ankle surgery, respectively. A perineural catheter used to infuse local anesthetic for postoperative analgesia may be placed at various locations along the target nerves. Investigations of single-injection peripheral nerve blocks suggest that the onset of the block might be faster with one location over the other; but, the success rates are equivalent. However, remaining unknown is whether there is an optimal location to place a perineural catheter as part of a continuous peripheral nerve block.
