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…
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…
To investigate the possibility of NIR fluorescence intra-operative angiography of the meniscus using ICG in patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscal repair.
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…
To assess whether the use of the personalized risk assessment tool (PERSARC) is (cost)effective in reducing decisional conflict and increasing informed choices in high-grade extremity STS compared to usual care (co-primary outcomes). In addition, we…
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…
