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 this condition will be randomly assigned to get surgery plus the injection or surgery alon…

This study looks at a surgery called SAMBB for people with severe, progressive flat foot deformity. The surgery uses a small piece of the patient's own bone to help realign the foot. Researchers will use special 3D CT scans to measure how well the foot position is corrected. The …

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 high-intensity laser therapy to standard physical therapy helps reduce pain and improve movement after knee replacement surgery. About 46 adults aged 50 to 80 will be randomly assigned to receive either real laser therapy or a fake laser treatment …

This study tests whether adding high-intensity laser therapy to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff. About 46 adults will be randomly assigned to get either real laser therapy or a fake laser treatment, along with t…

This study will test a new digital tool that helps people with rare diseases (or their parents) give and manage permission for their health data and samples to be used in research. The goal is to make it easier for patients to take part in studies and to improve communication bet…

This study follows 78 people who get a total knee replacement with a special all-plastic (polyethylene) part to see how well the implant holds up over 5 years. Researchers want to know if this newer plastic design works as well as or better than older metal-backed versions. The g…

This observational study aims to develop a computer model that can predict how quickly patients regain the ability to walk independently after hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers will collect data from about 943 patients who had surgery between 2020 and 2027. The goal is…
