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…
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 study is to investigate the effect of ARTISS compared with our standard care on total volume of donor site seroma after harvesting a LD in immediate breast reconstruction. Seroma is diagnosed, when >= 20 mL can be punctuated…
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…
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…
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.
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…
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).
To investigate the possibility of NIR fluorescence intra-operative angiography of the meniscus using ICG in patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscal repair.
The aim of the two separate studies is as follows: 1. To evaluate the effect of perioperative micronised lipofilling in patients with ORIF of P1 fractures on postoperative range of motion2. To evaluate the effect of perioperative micronised…
Primary objectives : 1- To assess body image, health-related quality of life, self-reported activity limitations, and pain after STS resections as defined in the ICF domains. 2- To assess the functioning of the patients after STS resections as…
The aim is to develop a minimally invasive approach of both diagnosing and treating ALTs, saving these patients a biopsy, surgery-related complications and morbidities amongst others. As a first step towards a minimally invasive diagnosis, a…
The primary objective of this study is the feasibility of assessing the quantified perfusion status of patients with traumatic soft tissue and/or skeletal injuries using NIRF imaging with ICG. Feasibility implies reproducibility of the measurements…
Thel aim of this project is to analyse hybrid implants placed in de posterior mandible of periodontally compromised patients and to compare the treatment outcome of either moderate rough or hybrid implants.
The main objective is to assess the efficacy of flexor tenotomy on the prevention of recurrence of toe ulcers in people with diabetes and a history of toe ulceration. Additionally, we aim to compare interphalangeal joints (IPJ) and metatarsal…
Primary Objective: • To investigate the feasibility of utilizing PAI as a means of detecting the SLN in patients with melanoma or breast cancerSecondary Objective(s): • Determine the most effective wavelengths for detecting ICG in PAI• Investigate…
To evaluate the incidence of incisional hernias after stoma reversal after preventive mesh placement compared to no mesh placement. Secondly the incidence of parastomal hernias will be recorded and complications caused by preventive mesh placement…
