This study tests a surgery called SAMBB that uses a small piece of the patient's own bone to correct severe flat foot deformity. The goal is to see how well it restores foot alignment using 3D CT scans. The study will include 20 adults aged 18 to 80 with a specific type of progre…

This study looks at how well a cartilage repair surgery works over up to 25 years. It includes 200 people who had their own cartilage cells grown on a special material and implanted into knee damage. Researchers will measure pain, function, and quality of life to see if the benef…

This study tests whether adding an injection of the patient's own bone marrow during hip arthroscopy improves recovery for torn hip cartilage (labral tears). About 80 adults aged 18–55 with femoroacetabular impingement will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard surg…

This study tests whether adding high-intensity laser therapy to standard physical therapy helps people recover faster and with less pain after knee replacement surgery. About 46 adults aged 50 to 80 will be split into two groups: one gets real laser therapy plus rehab, the other …

This study tests whether adding high-intensity laser therapy to standard physical therapy can reduce pain and improve shoulder movement in people who had rotator cuff surgery. About 46 adults aged 30-70 will be randomly assigned to get either real laser or a fake laser along with…

This study will test a new digital tool that helps people with rare diseases (or their parents) give and manage permission for their medical data and samples to be used in research. The goal is to make it easier for patients to stay involved and have a say in how their informatio…

This study will develop a computer model that uses patient data to predict how quickly someone will regain the ability to walk independently after hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers will analyze information from about 943 patients to train and test the model. The goal i…

This study will follow 78 people aged 50 to 85 who need a total knee replacement to see how long a specific implant with an all-polyethylene (plastic) tibial component lasts. Researchers will track implant failure, pain, function, and quality of life over 5 years. The goal is to …
