This study followed 152 people who received the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder implant for severe shoulder pain and disability due to arthritis or other joint diseases. The implant is designed to replace the shoulder joint without a long stem, potentially preserving more bone. Research…

This early-stage trial tested a new gene therapy called FLT201 in 10 adults with Gaucher disease type 1. The therapy uses a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the gene that produces a missing enzyme. The main goal was to check safety and see if the treatment can boost en…

This study tested a triple therapy—surgery, stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen—in 24 patients with early-stage osteonecrosis (bone death) of the hip. After two years, patients reported better hip function and fewer needed a hip replacement. The approach aims to stop the bone from …

This study compared four different knee replacement devices in 218 adults with knee arthritis to see which one patients 'forget' about most after surgery. The main goal was to measure how natural the joint feels using the Forgotten Joint Score. Results could help surgeons choose …

This study followed 77 people who had a procedure called Subchondroplasty for hip bone defects. Doctors injected a calcium phosphate bone filler into the damaged area. The goal was to see if it improved pain, movement, and daily activities over two years. Results were measured us…

This study tested a new shoulder implant called the Catalyst CSR System in 87 people with shoulder arthritis or bone damage. The implant is designed to preserve more natural bone than traditional replacements. Researchers measured pain, movement, and implant safety over two years…

This study looked at 22 people with jaw bone damage caused by medications for osteoporosis or cancer. They all had surgery to remove the damaged bone. Half also received a gel made from their own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) placed into the wound. The goal was to see if this gel …

This study tested whether adding bone graft fibers instead of particles to a standard bone substitute leads to more new bone growth in the upper jaw. Twenty-six adults needing sinus augmentation before dental implants received both types of graft material. Researchers measured bo…

This study tested whether adding vancomycin powder and a diluted povidone iodine wash during joint replacement surgery could prevent infections in high-risk patients. Over 2,100 adults with osteoarthritis who were at higher risk due to factors like obesity or smoking took part. T…

This study looked at how well a specific hip replacement system (the Allofit IT Shell with Longevity Liners) works over 10 years. 197 people with hip problems like arthritis or bone death received the implant. The main goal was to see how many implants were still in place without…

This study tested a new way to rebuild lost jaw bone using a patient's own stem cells mixed with a 3D-printed scaffold. Seven adults with missing teeth in the front of the mouth received the treatment. The goal was to see if this approach could safely create enough new bone to su…

This study tested a robotic system called CORI that helps surgeons plan and perform knee replacement surgery. The goal was to see if the robot helps place the new knee joint more accurately. 126 adults who needed a partial or total knee replacement took part. The results showed t…

This study looked at how well a specific knee replacement, the Medacta GMK Sphere, works over time. Researchers measured how often patients forgot about their artificial knee in daily life, two and five years after surgery. The study involved 260 adults with osteoarthritis who ne…

This study followed 76 adults who received a total shoulder replacement using the MIRAI modular prosthesis. Researchers measured how well the shoulder functioned and how stable the implant was over five years. The goal was to see if the implant helps patients move better and last…

This study tested a Turkish version of the Johns Hopkins In-Room Independence Scale, which measures a patient's ability to move, use the toilet, and think clearly while in their hospital room. Researchers worked with 100 adults who had conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or ampu…

This study is testing a device called the CORI™ KNEE TENSIONER, which helps surgeons balance the knee during total knee replacement surgery. Fifty adults who need a knee replacement will have the surgery using this device, and their recovery and quality of life will be tracked fo…

This study looked at how common muscle and posture problems are in physiotherapy students and whether a special physiotherapy program could help. 44 students with back pain and muscle tightness received treatments like trigger point release, stretching, and joint mobilization. Th…

This study looked at whether letting patients control their own sedation during arm surgery under regional anesthesia leads to higher satisfaction compared to having an anesthesiologist control it. 70 adults having upper limb orthopedic surgery were randomly assigned to either pa…

This study translated the Generic Functional Index, a questionnaire that measures how well people can do daily activities, into Turkish. Researchers tested it with 200 adults who have muscle or joint problems to see if it is accurate and reliable. The goal is to give Turkish-spea…

This early-stage study tested the safety and tolerability of a new drug called RAB001 in 16 healthy adults. Researchers gave single and multiple injections at two dose levels to see how the body handles the drug and if it causes side effects. This is a first step before testing t…

This study looked at bone tissue from 34 men who had hip replacement surgery due to femoral head necrosis (bone death in the hip joint). Researchers used advanced imaging and spectroscopy to identify changes in bone structure and composition. The goal was to better understand wha…

This study tested whether specially trained physiotherapists can safely diagnose and treat non-urgent muscle and joint pain in the emergency room, compared to standard care from doctors. 102 patients with back, neck, or shoulder pain were randomly assigned to either a physiothera…

This study measured levels of brain chemicals related to oxidative stress and inflammation in people with type 1 Gaucher disease and healthy volunteers. Researchers gave 33 participants with Gaucher disease the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for about 90 days to see if it cha…

This study looked back at 54 people who had a hip replacement with a specific part called the CL TRAUMA cemented stem. The goal was to see if the part was safe and worked well. Researchers measured how well patients could move and if they had pain using a standard hip score.

This study looked at 14 men with no teeth in their lower jaw to compare two types of connectors (multiunit abutments vs. OT Equator abutments) for implant-supported dentures. The goal was to see which connector led to less bone loss around the implants over 9 months. X-rays were …

This study followed 162 people who received a G7 hip cup system during hip replacement surgery. Researchers measured pain, function, and hip movement using standard scores. The goal was to see how the device performs in everyday patients with arthritis or other joint problems.

This study looked at 110 adults with different hip problems, such as arthritis or labral tears, to understand how these conditions affect posture, muscle strength, balance, pain, and quality of life. Researchers used special 3D imaging and pain tests to measure these factors. The…

This completed study compared how well people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), people with other muscle or bone pain, and healthy individuals can imagine movements. Researchers used a questionnaire called the MIQ-RS to measure motor imagery skills. The goal was to see …

This study looked at 40 people who had a total hip replacement through a small incision in the front of the hip. Researchers compared two types of metal stems (AMIStem and Quadra) to see how bone density around the implant changed one year after surgery. The goal was to find out …

This study surveyed 116 adults with chronic pain at a rehabilitation clinic to understand how their pain beliefs, spiritual well-being, and attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine are related. Participants filled out several questionnaires about their pain, mood, …
