Primary objective- To assess the reliability and explore the validity of Fluorescence Imaging, Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging, Optical Coherence Tomography and Sidestream Dark Field as a perfusion imaging modality, during free flap reconstruction…
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of virtual reality on gait and stair descending in patients with an Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction.
Objective is to determine the stump volume change in lower limb amputees, in the post operative period. Especially interesting is to know when the stump volume stabilizes, and doesn*t decrease anymore, and if there are any fluctuations in volume.
The general aim of this study is to develop and evaluate imaging techniques of tendon properties of the hand that can be used in clinical studies or standard clinical care in patients with flexor tendon injuries. Specific aims:1. Develop a protocol…
This study is a pilot study to examine the presence of antisperm antibodies after laparoscopic groin hernia repair in men. The hypothesis of this pilot study is: After laparoscopic groin hernia repair with a mesh, antisperm antibodies can be…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and the outcomes of laparoscopic correction of a recurrent inguinal hernia after previous repair.
The objective of the International Hernia Mesh Registry is to observe a minimum of 3,500 patients for up to 2 years post implantation, in a post-market setting, following the use of either ETHICON Mesh Products or other marketed mesh products to…
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…
To assess whether preoperative radiotherapy, as an adjunct to curative-intent surgery, improves the abdominal local recurrence-free survival.
Objective: Primary: Demonstrate the feasibility of PexT in patients waiting for AWR.Secondary: Demonstrate a possible effect of PexT in patient waiting for AWR on physical capacity (VO2max) and health-related quality of life (HRQL).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of postoperative cryotherapy on subjective patients-reported pain; shoulder function and quality of life in patients operated for SAPS .
The aims of the proposed study are (1) to test the reliability of knee moment-angle measurements, (2) to obtain insight how muscle and tendon characteristics in children with CP contribute to the limitations in range of motion (ROM) of the knee and…
Determine the effect of rectus femoris transfer on stroke survivors walking with a stiff knee gait on functional-, activity- and participation level.
To identify characteristics of the spastic flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (FCU), and the intra-, inter-, and extramuscular connective tissues using high resolution MRI.
To demonstrate that percutaneous flexor tenotomy is an effective way to treat poorly healing ulcers in diabetic patients with hammertoes. We want to measure this effect by determining the healing time, percentage healed wounds and decrease in size…
The aim of this pilot study is to validate the telephonic survey to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic correction of an inguinal hernia after previous repair.Hypothesis: The Q-Phone can detect telephonic recurrence in patients who underwent…
Assessing the safety and efficacy of a new mesh (Parietex Composite Ventral Patch)
We would like to investigate the efficiacy of the treatment of Trigger Fingers by means of a reliable, randomised, controlled, prospective multi-center trial at a large-scale with a long term follow-up. After completion of the trial we will be able…
To determine the inter- and intrarater reliability of 4 different methods to define stump volume in vivo, namely: water displacement method, Omega Tracer (Ohio Willow Wood), Design TT (Otto Bock) and circumference measurement (Sytzia-method).
Using AGW gives a good fixation of the polypropylene mesh in hernia inguinalis surgery and will not lead to a higher recurrence rate. The maximum acceptable recurrence rate is 10% after 3 months.
