The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and the reliability of the new template system in total knee replacement by use of MRI in comparison with the conventional template method by use of radiographs.
To investigate whether different ways of training hand opening and closing of a myoelectric device will lead to comparable results.
A. What are the determinants of quality of life of hip and knee replacement arthroplasty at long term follow-up?B. Which genetic factors are associated with aseptic loosening in hip and knee replacement arthroplasty? C. Which genetic determinants…
to analyse patient functional outcome (objectively and subjectively), radiographic results of both acetabular and femoral component, and rate of complications after revision of the acetabular component
The purpose of the present study is to obtain a pharmacokinetic profile of ropivacaine in serum with epinephrine, and of ropivacaine in serum without epinephrine, used for high dosed combined femoral and sciatic nerve block in lower extremity…
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 measure the natural learning processes that take place while learning to use an upper extremity prosthesis.
The goal of this research is to analyse wether the placement of the Avantage cup leads to a better stability of the hip. We will also analyse the patient functional outcome and the radiographic results.
The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether there is a relation between the minimal current at the tip of the stimulating catheter necessary to elicit an appropriate motor response, and the efficacy of the PNB catheter.
Purpose of the study is to find out what causes adjacent joint degeneration after tibiotalar fusion.
To determine the quantitative distal femoral bone resorption from the expected stress shielding effect of the femoral component in patellofemoral arthroplasty.
To gain understanding about the changes in intracranial hemodynamics after carotid endarterectomy. To improve the early detection of an imminent hyperperfusion syndrome.
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.
The primary goal of this research is to study the effect of several simulated muscle transpositions in patients with a hip abduction weakness, caused by a total hip arthroplasty. With the use of a musculoskeletal model of the lower extremities, it…
To evaluate the two procedures for lengthening of the mandible.
We propose a protocol to invite patients with olecranon 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 fractures.
The objective is to see what part of the conservative treated patients has rest complaints, and the quality of live.
What does the non-specific cytokine response contribute to the prediction of prosthesis fixation (expressed in MTPM after 1 years), compared with simple patient characteristics?
The pattern of BMD behind the press fit isoelastic acetabular component during the two years after implantation.
