108 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
A clinical trial investigating the safety and effectiveness of Smith and Nephew's FDA-approved Porous Total Knee System, which is used to replace worn away and diseased knee joints.

Arthritis is the nation's most common cause of disability. An estimated 50 million U.S. adults (about 1 in 5) report doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Twenty three million U.S. adults of working age (18-64 years) have arthritis; and in this age group arthritis-attributable work limitations affect about 1 in 3 people. An estimated 12% of all patients seeking intervention for symptomatic arthritis have an etiology of previous trauma to the involved joint. The purpose of this study is to examine these inflammatory compounds in the joint fluid (synovial fluid), the joint lining (synovium), and in blood among subjects with isolated intra-articular fractures. The hypothesis is that early levels of intra-articular inflammation and markers of joint tissue degeneration following articular fracture in the human knee are predictive of the development of PTA (Post Traumatic Arthritis). Early levels of intra-articular inflammation and markers of joint tissue degeneration identified from human knee joints following articular injury are predictive of the development of PTA in the mouse knee. Samples of blood, urine and synovial fluid will be taken at the spanning frame surgery and only synovial fluid at the ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation)surgery. Two MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) will be part of this study at 4 weeks and 18 months.Participants will complete a set of questionnaires(KOOS: Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) at 4 weeks and 18 months.

Participants will be followed according to standard of care and preoperative and post-operative information for up to 10 years after surgery will be collected and entered into an electronic data base. Patients are eligible to enroll into the registry before or after they have had their wrist replacement surgery.
