The objective of this project is to 1. increase accuracy and reproducibility of the most critical step in hip arthroplasty i.e. cup positioning;2. to alleviate one of the major complications of the straight lateral approach, i.e. abductor…
To determine the prevalence of posttraumatic osteoarthritis following a PLD-PLFDs in a cohort of young non-osteoporotic patients and correlation with objective and subjective outcome measures.
Therefore we decided to conduct a prospective randomised clincal study comparing these two donor sites (calvarium and iliac crest) with respect to bone volume changes and bone formation.Primary Objective: to know what the changes in bone volume are…
Our primary objective is to compare the short-term (one-year follow-up) clinical results of the DePuy Delta Xtend reversed shoulder prosthesis with conservative treatment, in the management of displaced four-part fractures of the proximal humerus of…
The primary objective in this study is to detect the presence of supra-spinal central sensitization in patients with chronic neck pain secondary to cervical facetal arthropathy. We aim to show this by comparing the pressure-pain thresholds (PPT; the…
Our primary objective is to compare the midterm clinical and radiographic results (6 to 8 years) of CWO versus OWO with a locked plate fixation in the management of patients with medial knee OA and a varus leg alignment with a prospective follow-up…
The goal of the study is to investigate whether and to what extend conscious control of the movements of the knee joint is present. Evidence is emerging that patients use an attentional focus that is directed to conscious control of the movements (…
To study the relationship between (a) abnormal concentrations of plasma amino-acids, pterins, HVA and inflammatory parameters and (b) the severity, duration and outcome of delirium. To find a biochemical profile that predicts the occurrence of a…
The main objective of this pilot study is the development and application of a home-based exercise strategy that helps patients to return faster to their functional level of before the surgery. At first, practical feasibilty of the exercise strategy…
To study the clinical and radiological outcomes 20 years after operative or conservative treatment for an ACL rupture
The objective of this study is to determine the application of the prosthesis simulators and the bimanual transfer effects in the existing rehabilitation programs for patients who will obtain an upper limb prosthesis.At first it needs to be revealed…
To answer the next questions::What is the (long term) function of the TMJ in UCH patients after a condylectomy in comparison to a control group matched for age and gender?How do UCH patients score the function of the TMJ after a condylectomy?
To test the surgical feasibility of the less invasive percutaneous pedicle screw instrumentation system for the treatment of children with a so called "hypotonic" scoliosis. Additionally, postoperative pain reduction and a reduced hospital…
The primary objective is the assessment of the in vivo kinematic patterns of a mobile bearing knee prosthesis (ROCC, Biomet Europe BV, The Netherlands) over time by means of fluoroscopy and to evaluate if the polyethylene bearing is rotating.The…
Purpose: is there a rotational disability after Prevotnailing of forearm fractures in children and is this caused by a bony deficit.
The aim of this study is to assess biomechanical properties after a calcaneal fracture, and compare these data tot the radiological and functional outcome parameters. Hereby comparing healthy subjects to patients who were treated with ORIF (open…
The main objective of the study was to prove the effectiveness of cryoablation in palliating pain and correlate the patients with a matched group of the Dutch bone metastasis study. The secondary objectives are to determine the accuracy of cryoprobe…
To investigate whether different ways of training hand opening and closing of a myoelectric device will lead to comparable results.
To analyse sensibility of the stump in adults with an acquired upper extremity amputation and compare the sensibility with the corresponding part of the contralateral arm and the contralateral fingers. Sensibility of the non-affected arm and fingers…
To determine the relation between in vitro parameters of stored red blood cells and in vivo survival of these red blood cells after autologous transfusion. To identify the relationbetween the recipients immune response to stored autologous red cells…
