Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.92 studies in Orthopedic Surgery (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Evaluate Preventative Saphenous Nerve Neurectomy in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of chronic knee pain at 6 months following primary total knee arthroplasty. Secondary outcomes include incidence of knee numbness, postoperative sensory loss or change at the knee, range of motion (ROM), resting pain with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), quality of life measurement assessed by SF-36. Direct Anterior vs. Anterolateral Approach for Hip Arthroplasty After Femoral Neck Fracture in the Senior Population Rochester, Minn. Displaced femoral neck fractures are one group of hip fracture patients that are commonly treated with cemented hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). In the elective hip arthroplasty population, the direct anterior approach (DAA) has shown to be effective in helping patients to quickly obtain high postoperative function. This approach has also been shown to be effective in arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in a few studies. However, the only studies that directly compare two approaches for hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures utilize the anterolateral approach (ALA) versus posterior approach (PA) or DAA versus PA. No studies of which we are aware directly compare the DAA to the ALA. The DAA and ALA are the two most popular approaches for bipolar hemiarthroplasty at our institution, so we are setting out to determine the differences between them. A Study of Clinical Outcomes of Ultrasound-guided Carpal Tunnel Release Performed in a Procedural Room Setting Albert Lea, Minn. The purpose of this study is to document the primary investigator’s clinical experience performing Ultrasound Guided Carpal Tunnel Release (USCTR) in the clinic procedure room setting through retrospective and prospective analysis of these now routinely collected clinical outcomes. 4DCT Imaging for Improved Diagnosis and Treatment of Wrist Ligament Injuries Rochester, Minn. The study seeks to determine whether the 4DCT imaging technique can be used to replace current invasive diagnostic tests for ligament injuries of the wrist. A Study to Evaluate Operative versus Non-operative Intervention of Posterior Malleolar Fractures Involving Less than 25% of the Articular Surface Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is determine if posterior malleolar fractures involving less than 25% of the articular surface should undergo operative intervention to improve clinical outcomes. A Study of Screening High School, Collegiate, and Olympic/Professional-level Athletes for Characteristics that May Lead to Injury Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to perform comprehensive clinical and biomechanical screening of high school, collegiate-level, and Olympic/professional-level athletes to identify individual functional and performance deficits that can lead to non-contact lower extremity injury. A Study of Hand Patterns in Children While Grasping Objects of Daily Use Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study to observe and understand the various postures used by a child's hand for grasping things in their everyday activities. These postures will be used to form the design and implementation of myoelectric hand prosthesis for children. Knee Biologic Preservation: Functional and Clinical Outcome Rochester, Minn. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing biologic knee preservation surgery. Secondary purpose is to identify possible correlation between outcome and pre-operative radiological findings (i.e. bony abnormalities such as mal-alignment, size of cartilage defect). A Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Pectoralis Minor and Brachial Plexus Release Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients who have undergone shoulder arthroplasty. A Study to Assess Outcomes of Operatively-treated Interprosthetic Femur Fractures. Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively assess the treatment modality, survivorship, reoperation, and complication rates among patients with interprosthetic femur fractures (those occurring between an ipsilateral hip and knee arthroplasty).
