Osteoarthritis Paid Clinical Trials in Kentucky

The objectives of this study are to confirm the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Arthroplasty Systems and its instrumentation in primary or revision shoulder arthroplasty. These objectives will be assessed using standard scoring systems, radiographic evidence, and adverse event records. Safety of the system will be assessed by monitoring the frequency an incidence of adverse events. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if preparing the target alignment of the operative side in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) based on the non-arthritic side will give the patient better overall alignment, function, and improved results compared to basing our implant alignment and positioning off the arthritic side, which is currently the traditional method. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will a patient have improved postoperative TKA results if the implant alignment is based off the non-arthritic side compared to the standard arthritic side? * What are the similarities or differences between study arms with respect to final implant alignment and positioning angles? Researchers will compare the outcomes of two cohorts of patients undergoing primary robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) with normal contralateral knee. Based on preoperative CT imaging, the researchers will use normal contralateral side joint numbers as the target alignment for one group (Experimental arm) and utilize the traditional method for the other group (Active comparator arm). Clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) will be compared between groups. Participants will: * Be randomized into one of two study arms and will receive either a unilateral knee CT or bilateral knee CT preoperatively * Follow-up in the clinic at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 1-year postoperatively, per standard-of-care for x-ray and clinical evaluation. * Complete postop questionnaires (PROMs) at the prescribed follow-up intervals Read Less

The study will evaluate the performance, clinical benefits and safety of the Persona Revision Knee System in patients who have received primary or revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) treatment. This will be done using a multicenter, single-arm, consecutive series, retrospective cohort study with prospective follow-up. Read Less

This study is an international, single arm, multicenter, prospective, non-significant risk, Post-Market Clinical Follow-up study, which is designed to collect safety and performance data at baseline, surgery, immediate post-op and annually through 10 years post-operation. Data collected from this study will be used for purposes, including but not limited to, Post-Market Surveillance, peer-reviewed publications, education materials, regulatory submissions, and/or product development.

This study is being done to find out if metformin is effective at reducing pain by delaying the onset of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This research study will compare metformin to placebo. The placebo tablet looks exactly like metformin, but contains no metformin. Placebos are used in research studies to see if the results are due to the study drug or due to other reasons. Metformin is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat type II diabetes. Notably, it also has anti-inflammatory effects, suggesting it could benefit people who have an ACL injury and are undergoing ACL reconstruction. Read Less

This is a multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess whether a 6-month course of oral montelukast after ACL reconstruction reduces systemic markers of inflammation and biochemical and imaging biomarkers of cartilage degradation. This study will specifically target older ACL reconstruction patients with concomitant meniscal injuries as this group is at greatest risk of rapid PTOA progression. Patients will randomly be assigned to receive oral montelukast (10 mg) versus placebo daily for 6 months after surgery. Read Less
