Polyethylene Wear Particle Analysis of THA
Purpose of research The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that polyethylene (Vitamin E-containing polyethylene), a newly introduced biomaterial for tibial inserts in hip replacement surgery and widely used clinically, but whose mid- to long-term clinical results are still unknown, is superior to conventional polyethylene in vivo. The aim of this project is to conduct an international multi-center joint research study to determine whether polyethylene wear debris production can be reduced in the future, using an in vivo polyethylene wear debris analysis method that the investigators developed as a method that can provide early feedback.

Positioning for Hip Arthroscopic Surgery to Reduce Postoperative Numbness
Compared to the knee and shoulder, the hip joint leaves relatively little space to maneuver arthroscopic instruments and camera. To expand the potential space in the hip joint, traction is commonly applied to the operative leg through a perineal post. This is an effective technique to improve the working space for arthroscopy, however it has been associated with complications, including perineal numbness. Traction pads, used alone or with a perineal post, can reduce pressure on the perineal area, thus reducing numbness. The investigators hypothesize that positioning hip arthroscopy patients using a traction pad on a standard traction table with a perineal post will reduce the...

Post Marketing Study of MagnetOs Easypack Putty Standalone Compared to Demineralized Bone Matrix or Fibers Mixed With Autograft in Patients Undergoing Posterolateral Lumbar Fusion
This is a phase IV post-marketing study for MagnetOs Easypack Putty. MagnetOs Easypack Putty is a synthetic bone graft extender product that is routinely used by surgeons as a treatment for patients with degenerative disc disease or spinal trauma undergoing spinal fusion surgery. In this study, MagnetOs Easypack Putty will be used according to the latest U.S. Instructions For Use, standalone in the posterolateral spine.

Postoperative Hip Precautions After Total Hip Arthroplasty Via the Posterior Approach: A Prospective Randomized Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine if hip precautions, which are instructions that limit functional use of a hip replacement after surgery, affect the rate of dislocation in the first six weeks after primary total hip replacement surgery. The impact of hip precautions on a patient's return to activities of daily living and overall patient satisfaction will also be investigated. The overall cost effectiveness of hip precautions will be determined.

Post-Operative Thoracolumosacral Orthosis for PJK
Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common post-operative radiographic finding after surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients. Although the clinical relevance of isolated PJK is unclear, PJK can progress to symptomatic proximal junctional failures which requires a large revision surgery. Currently, post-operative bracing with a thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) is common practice after spinal deformity surgery, however the efficacy of this in preventing PJK is unknown. This multi-center randomized control trial identified 84 patients undergoing thoracolumbosacral fusion for ASD and plans to study the efficacy of a novel post-operative TLSO in preventing the...
