Shoulder and Elbow Surgery in Rochester

Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. A Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Pectoralis Minor and Brachial Plexus Release

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients who have undergone shoulder arthroplasty.

2. Outcome of Capsular Release for Elbow Contracture

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the outcome and complications of capsular release for elbow contractures.

    

3. Shoulder Arthroscopy: Functional and Clinical Outcomes

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

4. A Study to Compare 3- and 4-Part Proximal Humerus Fractures Undergoing Elected Nonoperative vs. Operative Management

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare validated clinical and functional outcomes between patients who acutely present with 3- and 4-part Proximal Humerus Fractures (PHFs) treated nonoperatively or with rTSA. We hypothesize that in displaced 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures, rTSA will have better pain relief and functional outcomes than nonoperative treatment.

    

5. A Study to Evaluate Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) Procedure with Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) for Shoulder Osteoarthritis (OA)

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of concentrated bone marrow aspirate administration after Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) surgical procedure, and to determine pain relief, disease progression and range of motion in patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder.

6. A Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Shoulder Arthroplasty

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes and complications in patients who have received a hemiarthroplasty, anatomic total shoulder, or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

    

7. A Study to Evaluate Outcomes of Rotator Cuff Repair

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is evaluate the outcomes and complications in patients who underwent a rotator cuff repair.

8. A Study to Collect Clinical Outcomes of Anatomic and Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of the study is a multi-center prospective registry to collect clinical outcomes of anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

9. A Study to Investigate the Use of Diaphragm Muscle Ultrasound to Assess the Duration of a Diaphragm Nerve Block

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to to determine the impact of anesthesia (liposomal bupivacaine) on diaphragm muscle forces using a non-invasive ultrasonographic shear wave elastography (SWE) method.  

10. Does the Critical Shoulder Angle Influence the Rotator Cuff Failure After Anatomic Shoulder Arthroplasty?

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to:

    • Evaluate the influence of the critical shoulder angle (CSA) on outcomes after total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty; and
    • Evaluate the influence of the critical shoulder angle (CSA) on rotator cuff failure after total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty.
