Is the present malrotation of the tibia, 15 degrees exorotation and 10 degrees endorotation, after intramedullary nailing acceptabel. Furthermore, we want to know which technique could reduce the possible malalignment in patients. In present there…
The primary goal of this study is to determine the union as determined on both radiographically and computed tomography. This will allow us to compare these two modalities for the determination of union 10 weeks and six months after fracture*our…
Objective: This study aims to investigate, whether children with clubfeet are facing difficulties in daily life on activity*s and participation, two domains of the ICF, comparing to their age-mates without clubfeet.
The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic and monitoring properties of muscle US and to investigate if US is able to distinguish a myositis flare-up from a steroid-induced myopathy.
The objective of this study is to define the accuracy and the inter observer reliability of the clinical tests for assessing anterior cruciate ligament ruptures. These tests compose the standard in clinical testing for diagnosing or monitoring the…
Our primary study objective is whether visualizing and scoring of emboli is technically feasible. Secondary we want to asses the occurence and incidence of embolic events during spinal instrumentation surgery by intraoperative monitoring with TEE.…
The main objective of the study was to prove the effectiveness of cryoablation in palliating pain and correlate the patients with a matched group of the Dutch bone metastasis study. The secondary objectives are to determine the accuracy of cryoprobe…
The primary objective in this study is to evaluate effectiveness of optimized high cervical epidural neurostimulation against placebo-stimulation in patients with intractable cervicogenic headache in a neurostimulation trial.
Onset of effect of systemic therapy to enhance bone density (eg, bisphosphonates) is not immediate and may not adequately protect subjects with decreased bone density from fracture.Bisphosphonate therapy will typically require 2 to 3 years of active…
The present study aims to assess sensory weights and reweighting in healthy elderly and elderly with polyneuropathy, visual impairments or balance disorders compared to young healthy adults.
Objective of the study is to asses quality of fracture reduction and patient-relevant outcomes with the intra-operative use of the 3D-RX-system as compared to the conventional 2D-fluoroscopy in patients with traumatic intra-articular fractures of…
To conduct a pivotal study to determine the independent predictive validity of several soluble biomarkers (e.g. MMP3, CTX-II, CTX-1, OPG, RANKL) considered to be high priority candidates for predicting structural damage in RA according to the…
Establishment whether usage of high viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs leads to a reduction in leakage incidence compared to usage of conventional (low-medium) viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs.Since evidence is scarce or…
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 study is to determine the sensitivity of ultrasound in diagnosing the presence of an OCD in the ankle joint at locations that can be visualized compared to CT.
the objective of the current study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of enzyme therapy in the Dutch population of patients with MPS I, II and VI; to compare this to the natural course of these diseases; to make an inventory of the direct and…
The objective of the study is to determine the validity of MRI imaging to quantify changes in the CMC 1 joint in patients with osteoarthritis and how do these changes relate to functional status. The validity will be determined by comparison with…
The identification of axial SpA in the primary-care setting and the introduction of questionnaires that could optimize the pattern of referral to secondary care is one of the most important objectives of the CAFASPA-II study.
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…
Primary aim: To investigate whether PET-CT (using [18F]FDG, [18F]Fluoride and [11C]PK11195 as tracers) visualizes inflamed tissues of AS patients, with clinical scores as reference Secondary aim: To investigate whether reduction of inflammation by…
