The primary purpose of this study is to compare alignment criteria in the Oxford Partial Knee using conventional instrumentation and Signature Custom Guides. Secondly it is questioned whether the Signature technology can reduce the number of…
The effect of local anesthetic volume on the duration of single shot axillary brachial plexus block.
The purpose of the present study is to compare the duration of sensory and motor block with 15 and 40 millilitres mepivacaine 1.5% for axillary brachial plexus block using ultrasound guidance. Our hypothesis (H0) is that there is no difference (less…
Subcutaneous stimulation as add on therapy to spinal cord stimulaion to treat low back pain in FBSS.
The aim of the randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of SubQ on low back pain in FBSS patients for whom SCS gives an inadequate back pain relief. We hypothesize that SubQ in addition to SCS in FBSS patients with leg and low back pain…
1. To compare cartilage repair between KJD and HTO, evaluated 2 years post treatment. The hypothesis is that KJD results in (more) cartilage repair compared to HTO. 2. To compare cartilage tissue repair over 2 year follow-up compared to baseline and…
Primary question:I. Does additional fibular plating lower the incidence of malalignment after surgical treatment of distal same level metaphyseal tibia and fibula fractures treated with locked intramedullary nailing?Secondary questions:I. Does…
Evaluation of pre- and postoperative glenohumeral translation and function (especially exorotation) after open (modified) Bankart procedure versus arthroscopic stabilizing surgery for posttraumatic recurrent shoulder instability.
The objective of this prospective randomised multi-center study is to compare the clinical outcome of the cemented and hydroxy-apatite coated uncemented hemi-arthroplasty for patients with a proximal intracapsular femoral fracture and the indication…
1: Comparing the initial and long term clinical results and survival of the Vanguard Deep Dish prosthesis with the traditional Vanguard Fixed bearing prosthesis.2: Does Joint Care improves the recovery process?
The primary objective is to investigate whether insulin sensitivity can be preserved postoperatively, by giving a simple carbohydrate-rich drink before surgery. Furthermore, to investigate whether gastric passage will be enhanced postoperatively…
The Sciatica-Gill trial is a randomised cost-effective study about nerve root decompression according to Gill versus instrumented fusion in the treatment of patients with radicular legpain or neurogenic claudication due to spondylolytic…
Does preoperative heating of patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia and postoperative comfort and modulate postoperative glucose and insulin blood levels?
The aim of this international multicentre clinical study is to compare the clinical, radiographic and CT scan results, obtained in patients undergoing a computer assisted TKR procedure with patients undergoing a TKR procedure using state of the art…
• To study the effectiveness of fibrin sealant produced of single donor allogeneic plasma when used intra-operatively after total knee replacement.o Primairy endpoint: total volume of fluid in the drains at 6h post-operative.o Secondary endpoints:…
To investigate the postoperative pain, compliance, satisfaction in the three different groups of postoperative analgesia and a possible interaction.
The objective of this study is to assess the difference in micromotion of the Stanmore hip prosthesis (form enclosed), using two different bone cements. We hypothesise that the newly marketed bone cement Refobacin- gentamycine has the same in vivo…
The objective of this study is to assess the difference in micromotion of the Exeter hip prosthesis, using two different bone cements. We hypothesise that the newly marketed bone cement Refobacin- gentamycine has the same in vivo properties as the…
Our research objective is to test the hypothesis that patient outcomes can be improved through the development of instrumented retractors for cardiothoracic surgery. By monitoring and controlling retraction forces, damage to the chest wall and…
Functional treatment with a brace and early physiotherapy will result in improved Kujala scores (reflecting better functional outcome with less pain) and SF-36 scores (reflecting higher quality of life) at 1 year compared with plaster immobilization…
Primary objectiveTo compare the wear rate 60 months after THA of HXLPE stabilized with vitamin E versus conventional UHMWPE for total joint arthroplasty. Secondary objectives- To compare the wear rate at 3,12, 24 and 60 months after THA between…
The researchquestions of this study are:1. What is the efficacy of treatment of postoperative pain after subacromial decompression with a subacromial catheter with ropivacaine versus placebo?2. What are the differences in costs per patient and in…
