1. A Study to Evaluate Manipulation Under Anesthesia After Bilateral Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine unique genetic profile of patients requiring MUA following bilateral pTKA via genetic sequencing, to determine outcomes of patients receiving MUA in terms of KSS, implant durability, survival free of reoperation, and to define characteristics and comorbidities of patients undergoing unilateral and bilateral MUA.

2. Detection of Infection in Arthroplasty

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of molecular detection of microorganisms, detection of microbial proteins and antibodies against microorganisms, and inflammatory markers (e.g., leukocyte esterase, CRP) in synovial fluid for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI).

3. A Study to Assess the Effect of Radial Deviation on the Pronated Grip

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to describe a practical and reproducible radiographic view that can be used in the work-up of ulnocarpal impaction.

4. The Effects of Prophylactic Limited Palmar Fasciectomy on Surgical Outcomes and Scarring

   Rochester, Minn.

   Research is instrumental for improving medical care and the patient experience. Finding new surgical techniques can create better outcomes and minimize recovery time and complications for patients. Some patients undergoing trigger finger surgery with a pre-existing Dupuytren's cord may develop a thickened surgical scar after surgery, which can cause discomfort, difficulty with moving or using, and other complications in the affected finger(s) or hand. The investigator is investigating a surgical technique to minimize these potential complications and scarring after surgery. Subjects are being asked to take part in this research study because they have been diagnosed with trigger finger and pretendinous Dupuytren's cord and have decided to undergo surgery rather than try medical treatment.

5. Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study on Current Treatments of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a childhood hip disorder which is common enough to be a significant public health problem (affects 1 in 740 boys between ages 0-14), but uncommon enough to have a sufficient number of patients from a single institution to perform a definitive prospective study comparing the results of current treatments. The present study will establish a database of prospectively identified patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes (LCP) Disease and collect information regarding their presentation, treatment, and outcomes in the course of receiving currently available treatments. This study seeks to compare the outcomes of current treatments in the management of different age groups (ages 1-6, 6-8, 8-11, >11) of patients with Perthes disease at two- and five-year followup and at skeletal maturity. For each age group, two to three common treatment regimens currently used by practicing pediatric orthopaedic surgeons will be compared. The intervention a patient receives is determined through physician treatment expertise, and is not pre-determined by the study.

6. Human Blood and Tissues Repository for Neuroscience Research

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to collect adult human blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain, and spine tissues/fluids at time of surgery in order to conduct future studies of the cellular mechanisms of tissue invasion utilized by brain and spine tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).

7. Outcome of Capsular Release for Elbow Contracture

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the outcome and complications of capsular release for elbow contractures.

    

8. A Study to Evaluate A Patient's Perception of Indwelling Foley Catheters Following Total Hip or Total Knee Arthroplasty

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the orthopedic patients’ perspective on the use of indwelling foley catheters.

9. A Study to Compare 3- and 4-Part Proximal Humerus Fractures Undergoing Elected Nonoperative vs. Operative Management

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare validated clinical and functional outcomes between patients who acutely present with 3- and 4-part Proximal Humerus Fractures (PHFs) treated nonoperatively or with rTSA. We hypothesize that in displaced 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures, rTSA will have better pain relief and functional outcomes than nonoperative treatment.

    

10. Postoperative Oral Tranexamic Acid in Patients Undergoing Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty

    Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an extended oral TXA regimen on patient reported outcome scores, time to independent ambulation, postoperative range of motion, swelling, change in hemoglobin levels, 90-day complications, readmission and reoperation.
