Osteochondritis dissecans

This study tests a new way to repair damaged knee cartilage using 3D printing, platelet-rich plasma, and a piece of the patient's own bone and tissue. It involves 60 adults with large cartilage injuries. The goal is to see if this approach improves knee function and helps cartila…

This study looked at whether having more frequent contact with a clinician (at least once a week) improves satisfaction for people with long-lasting musculoskeletal conditions. Participants were split into two groups: one with standard contact and one with extra check-ins via tex…

This study tests whether a Norwegian clinic (NSAC) helps people with common mental health issues or muscle pain return to work sooner. 2500 adults are split into three groups: one gets treatment quickly, one waits 10-14 weeks, and one gets a basic check-up. Researchers will track…

This study looks at how a knee condition called osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) affects the mental health of young athletes aged 11 to 19. Researchers will measure stress and depression levels in 120 patients as they go through standard treatment, either surgery or non-surgical c…

This study looks back at the medical records of about 4 million people who had physical or occupational therapy for muscle and joint problems. Researchers want to see if different ways of giving therapy lead to different results. No new treatments are tested—the goal is to learn …

This study aimed to see if a mobile monitoring tool could accurately identify surgical site infections (SSIs) in orthopedic surgery patients, compared to the usual manual review. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. It was design…

This study looks at 254 people with a knee condition where a piece of bone and cartilage starts to crack and loosen. Researchers are observing how well different standard treatments—like rest or surgery—work over two years. The goal is to learn which approach leads to better knee…

This study asks over 2,300 people with various joint conditions (like arthritis, fractures, and hip problems) to fill out surveys about their treatment preferences. Researchers want to learn how factors like pain, recovery time, cost, and surgery versus non-surgery affect patient…

This study looks at how people walk before and after a type of ankle surgery called arthroscopic microfracture with a biologic scaffold. The surgery is used to repair damaged cartilage in the ankle joint. Researchers will measure foot pressure and walking patterns in 60 patients …
