Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

The purpose of this study is to investigate non-opioid alternatives to post-operative pain management following hip arthroscopy. This study aims to compare traditional narcotic intervention with a novel non-opioid pain regimen. 

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.

Capsular REpair randomiSed controlled Trial (CREST) is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial with a sample size of 240 patients (120 patients in each group). The primary outcome measure is functional outcome as measured by the change in Hip Outcome Score at 6 months with secondary outcomes being hip range of motion, i-HOT 12, overall satisfaction, and VAS. Patients are stratified based on gender. Patients, outcome assessors, and data analysts are blinded to surgical allocation. Using an intention-to-treat approach, outcome analyses will be performed using an analysis of covariance and descriptive statistics.

The purpose of this study is to understand recovery, hip and trunk strength in patients after hip arthroscopy. 

The objective of the study is to determine if there is a difference in ultrasound image quality of the interscalene block anatomy, at point of care, pre- versus post-operatively in a cohort of patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy who routinely receive blockade of the brachial plexus for postoperative analgesia.

The purpose of this study is to assess for improvement after recovering from hip surgery in the symptoms of pelvic floor disorders that existed prior to hip arthroscopy.

The goals of this continuation of MeTeOR are to determine: a) whether the greater structural damage observed at five years in subjects treated with APM persists over 12 years; and b) whether structural changes observed in the first five years are associated with worse pain and function and greater TKR utilization at 12 years. We propose the following aims:

1. Conduct a 12-year follow-up visit of MeTeOR subjects to characterize the extent of cartilage damage over 12 years and identify factors associated with OA progression. MeTeOR participants will complete questionnaires and performance tests and undergo MRI and radiographs 12 years ...

Hip dysplasia is a complex problem that exists on a spectrum from mild to severe disease. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains the gold standard for most patients with dysplasia; however, the procedure is quite invasive making the decision to proceed in cases of mild disease difficult. Hip arthroscopy (HA) is an alternative minimally invasive technique that can be used to address mild dysplasia. Nevertheless, HA has less capability for correction and in rare instances can exacerbate instability in the dysplastic hip. There is a paucity of data examining outcomes between these two treatment strategies for this challenging problem.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of concentrated bone marrow aspirate administration after Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) surgical procedure, and to determine pain relief, disease progression and range of motion in patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder.

The purpose of this study is to validate the patient approved knee assessment (PAKA) by providing the questionnaire to patients to assess patient needs, formulate a questionnaire based on this information, and finally validate the questionnaire in assessing the same outcomes as existing questionnaires for clinical use.
