To Establish the usefulness of MRI for assessment of the rotator cuff in patients with an Affinis short prosthesis implanted in the shoulder.
To conduct a randomised controlled trial to determine differences in outcomes of the TT and AMP ACL reconstruction techniques by means of MRI signal SI of the ACL graft. Secondly, differences in clinical, functional and patient-oriented outcomes of…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of the cartilage of repaired defects 20-25 years after perichondrium transplantation (PT) or autologous chondrocyte translantation (ACT). Secondary objectives are to review the functionality and pain…
To optimize the management of non-chronic shoulder pain in primary care by the introduction of ultrasound as a diagnostic triage tool. The following research questions will be addressed:1. What are the effects of diagnostic ultrasound and its…
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…
to investigate whether applying a conservative treatment for an unstable ligamentous skiers thumb is equal to surgical repair.
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…
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness the current ruling widespread Royal Dutch Physiotherapy Association guideline, in which the combined use of braces and proprioceptive training after ankle sprain treatment is advocated (usual care), against the use…
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…
* To study the relationship between inflammation on MRI and syndesmophyte formation with very detailedimaging methods: radiography, computed tomography (CT), 3 and 7 Tesla MRI. * To examine the time order of pathologic changes like inflammation,…
Substudy A• Validating the supramaximal SteepRamp exercise test to determine physical fitness in type 2 diabetes patients by correlating the result with a conventional VO2max exercise test and determining the test-retest reliability.Substudy B•…

The primary aim is to establish the percentage of patients with unknown (pre )diabetes in the group of patients who present with a trigger finger. Our secondary objective is to relate the outcomes of treatment to the presence of diabetes.
To determine whether the use of epinephrine saline irrigation in therapeutic shoulder arthroscopy with need for subacromial procedures should significantly increase clarity of the view.
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…
This project focuses on injury prevention-related cost-effectiveness of the "F-MARC Bricks".We hypothesize that the exercises of the *F-MARC Bricks*, integrated in the warm up, reduce injury incidence and/or injury severity and…
