The objective of the current study is to compare three different strategies of pain management in patients presenting to an emergency department and to a general practice with acute musculoskeletal syndromes (defined as musculoskeletal complaints…
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the BioMatrix CRD for the repair of focal articular cartilage lesions or osteochondral defects in the knee.
The purpose of this study will be to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a multifocal SMR treatment on pain and stiffness compared to ECC in active recreational runners with self-reported Achilles tendon complaints.Research question: Is a 12-…
To conduct a randomised controlled trial to determine differences in outcomes of the TT and AMP ACL reconstruction techniques by means of MRI signal SI of the ACL graft. Secondly, differences in clinical, functional and patient-oriented outcomes of…
To determine the effect of the adjuvant application of PRP after NACD on pain reduction, recovery of shoulder function, tendon recovery, resorption of calcific deposits, the percentage of patients with persistent complains and quality of life. The…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of the cartilage of repaired defects 20-25 years after perichondrium transplantation (PT) or autologous chondrocyte translantation (ACT). Secondary objectives are to review the functionality and pain…
Study of functional outcome after arthroscopic tenotomy of long head biceps tendon vs. arthroscopic debridement vs. conservative treatment as treatment for degenerative rotator cuff ruptures in patients 65 years or older.
Primary Objective: To study the effect of PNT and structured physiotherapy on function and pain of patients with lateral epicondylalgia.Secondary Objectives: To study the effect of PNT and structured physiotherapy on quality of life, patient…
To optimize the management of non-chronic shoulder pain in primary care by the introduction of ultrasound as a diagnostic triage tool. The following research questions will be addressed:1. What are the effects of diagnostic ultrasound and its…
The evaluate which treatment of mallet fingers is better, the conventional mallet therapy via the hospital or the personalized treatment with intensive follow up via the handencentrum. This will be investigated for mallet fingers caused by an…
The main objective of this study is to compare the femur tunnel positioning after AMP, TLS and TT reconstruction techniques. We will also look at the relation between tunnel positioning and tunnel widening.
The objective of this study is to evaluate if overload eccentric training on a flywheel ergometer, guided by a physiotherapist, is an appropriate training for athletes with patellar tendinopathy to reduce pain and a faster return to sport. The pain…
To investigate the (cost) effectiveness of early ACL reconstruction (<6 weeks after injury), compared to the usual timing of ACL reconstruction (> 3 months after injury). Hypotheis is that early ACL reconstruction results in less loss…
The effectiveness of PRP treatment in patients suffering from chronic lateral epicondylitis is still ambiguous. Therefore we study PRP treatment in a double blind randomized controlled trial in a homogeny patient population with respect to duration…
Primary ObjectiveTo demonstrate that the effectiveness of the NOVOCART® 3D plus autologouschondrocyte transplantation system is superior to microfracture for the treatment ofarticular cartilage defects of the knee by demonstrating superiority of the…
This exploratorive study is performed to improve our understanding of possible etiologic factors and the relationships between foot mobility, intrinsic foot muscles and foot segment kinematics during gait for patients with sub-acute and chronic…
Research proposalTo find out what is the best surgical procedure for patients with conservative therapy resistent calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder. Objectives Our main objective is to compare the three different surgical procedures for the…
to investigate whether applying a conservative treatment for an unstable ligamentous skiers thumb is equal to surgical repair.
The primary objective is to get a first insight what the effect of FSWT and RSWT is on the tendon structure in treating patellar tendinopathy patients and on healthy tendons determined by UTC.The secondary objective is to compare the effect of FSWT…
Primary objective(s): Is to determine the effect of botulinum toxin injections on postoperative pain and discomfort after an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.Secondary: To determine whether postoperative immobilization of the rotator cuff, after…
