Analysis of Competitive Posterior Cruciate Retaining (PCR) and Posterior Stabilized (PS) Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)
The purpose of the study is to acquire kinematic in vivo fluoroscopy data from subjects who were implanted with Stryker Posterior Cruciate Retaining (PCR) , Stryker Posterior Stabilized (PS), Zimmer PCR, and Zimmer PS Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKAs). Our lab has previously collected data for the Smith & Nephew PCR, bi-cruciate retaining (BCR), and bi-cruciate stabilized (BCS) TKA.

Analysis of Prognostic Cell Signaling Factors in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
The purpose of this study is to identify potential markers for curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Despite its prevalence and impact on child health, the etiology of AIS and molecular mechanisms underlying its development and progression remain poorly understood. Clinical criteria and features cannot adequately predict which children, diagnosed with mild disease, will undergo subsequent curve progression requiring intervention. The investigators hypothesize that alterations in specific genetic markers will be correlated with the progression of AIS curves over time. Thus, these markers could be used in the...

An Amniotic Membrane Injection Comparing Two Doses (1 mL and 2 mL Injection) and a Placebo (Sterile Saline) in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose effect of a single injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and to confirm whether the use of 2 mL of the same amniotic injection offers a statistically significant advantage over the 1 mL injection when compared to a placebo.

An Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, Immunogenicity, and Lot-Consistency Clinical Trial of a 6-Valent OspA-Based Lyme Disease Vaccine (VLA15)
The main purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate a 6-valent OspA-based Lyme disease vaccine (VLA15) for prevention of Lyme disease within North America and Europe. Approximately 18,000 healthy participants 5 years and older will be recruited from areas with high levels of endemic Lyme disease to receive VLA15 or placebo (an inactive substance consisting of saltwater). Each participant will have about a 50% chance of receiving VLA15 and about a 50% chance of receiving placebo. A subset of participants will receive VLA15 from 3 different lots or placebo (1:1:1:3 ratio) to assess lot equivalence. Participants will receive a...

An Immediate Functional Progression Program for Adolescent Athletes With Spondylolysis
Spondylolysis, a stress fracture in the pars interarticularis of a lumbar vertebra, is the most common identifiable cause of low back pain (LBP) in adolescent athletes, occurring in 14-30% of athletes who experience LBP. Spondylolysis can cause significant pain and disability and months of exclusion from sports or an active lifestyle. Standard care of spondylolysis in adolescent athletes is primarily based on expert opinion, with dramatic variations in clinical practice, including restrictive bracing, extended rest periods before the intervention, long durations out of sport and activity, and suboptimal long-term clinical outcomes....

An Investigation of the Metal Concentration in Patients Implanted With the PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc at Two Contiguous Levels in the Cervical Spine
This clinical study will assess the metal concentrations present in the blood serum of patients who receive surgical treatment with the PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc at two contiguous cervical levels from C3-C7. The information obtained from this clinical investigation will be used to support the post market surveillance for a PMA supplement for the PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc implanted at two contiguous levels.
