The goal of this trial is to find the best available conservative treatment, based on subjective pain scores, for children with Sever*s disease. Our primary objective is to score the possible decrease of pain experienced by the subjects. This will…
To determine the incidence of vertebral fractures and exploring riscfactors in the geriatric outpatients.The effect of new vertebral fractures on daily activities, quality of life, reported falls.To explore the relation between frailty syndrome…
To investigate in vivo whether a measurable increase in systemic ATP levels occurs in response to mechanical stimulation of bone in humans.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of extreme fixed wrist flexion and ulnar deviation due to spasticity on bone shapes of the wrist bones. We want to compare CT scan-based three-dimensional reconstructions of the spastic wrist to the…
Is the lateral chest X-ray useful to look for vertebral fractures using the semiquantative method of genant in the geriatric population? Our hypothesis is that the lateral chest X-ray is a good alternative, with high sensitivity and specificity…
To investigate the differences in facial analysis, between patients with acromegaly, being in remission, and healthy subjects, and to investigate the changes in relational proportions between these facial structures.
The aim is to gain basic dynamic information of both healthy and operated wrists to eveluate the outcome of pisiformectomy. By comparing the healthy wrist of the patient with the operated wrist we expect to detect abnormal motion patterns which we…
The aim of the present study is to use a more complete analysis of spinal motion (using a 3D multi-segment spine model) and to introduce challenging gait tasks which can optimally reveal the compensation strategies of the spine. Furthermore, static…
The purpose of the present study is to document the possible effects of the prevalence of positional preference and DP, positional and motor asymmetry, interventions, and postional habits in the first two years of age, on the motor development,…
The primary objective is to determine whether micro-structured TCP granules provides sufficient bone volume as basis to insert endosseous dental implants in a two staged sinus floor elevation technique by benefiting from the clinical handling…
The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of low BMD measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and quantitative ultrasonography (QUS) in Providentia (a residential care facility for persons with refractory epilepsy…
The additional value of the new acquisition technique.
The overall objective of this project is to gain more inside into the role of PPARγ in osteoclastogenesis, osteoclast differentiation and function.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the cyclodextrin added to the cholecalciferol formulation has an effect on the vitamin D3 availability in the body. Thus, it will be investigated if concentrations of vitamin D3 that are found in…
To investigate the long term stability (> 5 yrs) in patients treated with mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) for correction of a Class II-occlusion. Hypotheses:1) MDO is a technique for mandibular lengthening with comparable stability…
To assess the diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, ROC curve) of the bone SPECT/CT scans. To assess the intra- and interobserver variability of SPECT/CT in patients suspected of having UCH.
May DXR replace DXA as a screeningstool for osteoporosis
1.To investigate if [18F]Fluoride PET-CT is a potential imaging technique for assessment of (changes in) disease activity of ankylosing spondylitis on baseline and after anti-TNF therapy (with MRI and clinical outcome as reference).Sub-study in 2…
The aim of this project is to do an objective and subjective functional long-term outcome assessment of patients with distal radius malunions, treated with intraarticular osteotomy and therefore evaluate factors that are good outcome predictors for…
We propose a protocol to invite patients with unicondylar fractures identified from the AMC database to return for evaluation and radiographs in order to collect long term (>10 years) data regarding the outcomes of these rare fractures.
