1. 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.

2. A Study to Measure Elbow and Ankle Range-of-Motion via Teleconferencing

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the validity and reliability of teleconferencing measurements for elbow and ankle joint range of motion (ROM).

3. A Study to Evaluate Photon Counting Detector CT Utility in Identifying Acute Wrist Fractures.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the ability of PCD-CT to (1) display subtle fractures of the wrist using the system’s increased spatial resolution compared to conventional wrist CT and MR; and (2)  evaluate the ability of PCD-CT with virtual non-calcium images to identify bone marrow edema at acute fracture sites.

    

4. Brachial plexus patients undergoing upper limb amputation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to follow Mayo Clinic patients with severe brachial plexus injuries who underwent upper limb amputation. 

5. A Study to Evaluate the Effects of Physical Therapy on Patients Treated with Surgery (Periacetabular Osteotomy or PAO) for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess perioperative and postoperative outcomes to date in patients treated with surgery (Periacetabular Osteotomy or PAO) for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) receiving formal postoperative physical therapy versus those patients who did not receive formal postoperative physical therapy.

6. A Study to Assess the Outcome of Scapholunate Ligament Internal Brace 360-Degree Tenodesis (SLITT) Procedure

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the outcomes of Scapholunate Ligament Internal Brace 360-Degree Tenodesis (SLITT) Procedure patients.

7. A Study to Evaluate Whether Ultrasound Can Detect Medial Meniscal Extrusion More Frequently Than MRI?

   Minneapolis, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether ultrasound can detect medial meniscal extrusion more frequently than MRI.

8. Study to Evaluate the Utility, Safety, Effectiveness, and Cost of Physical Therapy on Elective Spine Surgery Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility, safety, effectiveness, and cost of physical therapy on elective spine surgery patients.

9. Identification of Predictors for Clinical Outcomes in Femoroacetabular Impingement Surgery

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to improve the surgical treatment outcomes of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), which is affecting an increasing number of military personnel and young active individuals in the general population. The proposed study will investigate critical patient, disease, and surgical treatment predictors of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) surgery outcomes.

10. A Study of Scoliosis Survey to Development Treatment Decision Tool

    Rochester, Minn.

    This is a survey, with the option of uploading prior clinical imaging (x-rays, etc), with the aim to study the burden of scoliosis disease over time and the results of treatment (specifically the results of nonfusion and fusion scoliosis surgery).  Our goal is to report these results back to the community of people with scoliosis and also publish our results in the medical literature.
