This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the MID-C System.
A study on extent-related outcome and complications for degenerative cervical spinal disease has not yet been performed. Results of this study may form the basis for a guideline regarding the extent of fixation in degenerative cervical spinal…
Primary Objectives:• show effectiveness of the SMSC instrument in 3D correction of the spine prior to placement of the implants.The hypothesis is that to achieve de-rotation of the spine without failure of the pedicle screws, de-rotation has to be…
Primary objective: To create and validate healthy-subject-specific musculo-skeletal models of the lower extremity. We will also develop a new method using the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) technique that can be used to validate musculo-skeletal…
Our primary study objective is whether visualizing and scoring of emboli is technically feasible. Secondary we want to asses the occurence and incidence of embolic events during spinal instrumentation surgery by intraoperative monitoring with TEE.…
Primary Objective: To investigate the primary stability of the Prodisc-C Vivo cervical disc replacement in the intercorporal space with regard to the adjacent vertebrae in patients with cervical disc disease.Secondary Objective(s): To evaluate…
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and performance of the Cadisc*-C Total Cervical Disc Replacement Device in the surgical replacement of the cervical intervertebral discs (C3 to C7) for patients requiring surgical intervention…
What are the long term (follow-up more than 10 years) clinical and radiological results of ALIF with Brantigan ALIF I/F cages?
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and performance of the CAdisc*-L Total Lumbar Disc Replacement Device in the surgical replacement of the lumbar intervertebral discs (L3 to S1) for patients requiring surgical intervention for…
To assess the incidence and severity of embolic events during spinal instrumentation surgery with intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography monitoring.
The purpose of this study was:1) to assess the postoperative complications and fracture healing in patients after posttraumatic distraction osteogenesis.2) to assess the degree of the degree of function of the lower extremity upon distraction…
Before a countermeasure or training can be developed to counteract physical deconditioning it is important to investigate more in detail the magnitude and time course of physical deconditioning and to investigate which outcome measure is most…
The purpose of our study is to evaluate modern dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan techniques (iDEXA; General Electronics, USA) as an adjunctive diagnostic tool to evaluate the ongoing process of spinal fusion. Changes in bone mineral density (BMD…
- To systematically determine the influence of disease activity of RA on the metabolic syndrome of patients with chronic RA (disease duration > 2 years).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality and effect of scoliosis brace treatment, by means of correlating body brace interface pressure and scoliosis correction in combination with quality of life questionnaires.
In the literature the effectiveness of the anterior cervical discectomy is measured using subjective validated questionnaires.It would be an important improvement if it is possible to detect the inflammatory process of the dorsal root ganglion with…
To longitudinally evaluate the substantial differences in anatomical changes in the spine during adolescent growth in girls, at increased risk for scoliosis development, and in adolescent 22q11.2DS patients, that do and do not develop AIS.
To quantify how much a full-time brace corrects the spine in 3D in AIS patients when supine, compared to a dedicated night-time brace.
The primary objective is to determine if physical fatigability is present in infantile and young adult patients with FSHD.The secondary objectives are to determine if there is an association between fatigability ando Disease severityo Muscle…
The primary objective of the study is to monitor the effectiveness of the NEMOST Growing Domino to correct the scoliotic curve in growing patients suffering from progressive adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who have failed conservative treatment.
