MDR - Comprehensive Primary/Micro Stem & Versa-Dial Ti Humeral Head
The objective of this retrospective enrollment/prospective follow-up consecutive series PMCF study is to collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Comprehensive Primary Micro Stem and Comprehensive Anatomic Versa-Dial Titanium Humeral Heads when used for primary and revision total shoulder arthroplasty (implants and instrumentation) at 1,3,5,7 and 10 years*. Comprehensive Primary Micro Stem and Comprehensive Anatomic Versa-Dial Titanium Humeral Heads have been on the market since 2007, but have insufficient data to support 10 years of clinical history. Therefore, a prospective aspect to the study will...

MDR - Comprehensive Reverse/Versa Dial Ti Glenosphere
The objective of this retrospective/prospective consecutive series PMCF study is to collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Comprehensive Versa-Dial Reverse Ti Glenosphere when used for primary total shoulder arthroplasty, fractures and revision total shoulder arthroplasty (implants and instrumentation) at a 1,2,3,5,7 and 10-year follow-up* to meet EU Medical Device and other regulatory requirements for post market surveillance. Because Comprehensive Reverse Ti Glenospheres have only been on the market since 2009, a prospective aspect to the study will be utilized as well in order to collect long-term...

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction in Rheumatic Diseases
This study will assess the mental health and clinical benefits of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in patients with rheumatic disease who have anxiety or depression. MBSR, an interactive form of meditation that includes gentle yoga, will be taught by a certified instructor over an eight-week period. Mental health surveys will be conducted within one month of the study start and end as well as mid-course. Clinical assessments will be conducted within one-month of the study start and end.

MLX/XLX ACR Expandable Lumbar Interbody Implants
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of thoracic and/or lumbar spine surgery using the MLX and XLX ACR interbody implants as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and clinical patient outcomes. This study is being undertaken to identify possible residual risks and to clarify mid- to long-term clinical performance that may affect the benefit/risk ratios of the MLX and XLX ACR interbody implants.

MOON Onsite MRI 10 Years After ACL Reconstruction
In this study, a total of 219 subjects from the MOON nested cohort will be studied at CCF, Vanderbilt and OSU, Table 1. Among them, some will have added MRI during their 10-year visit for the MOON study. Some subjects who finished their 10-year visit for the MOON Onsite study already will be called back to have MRI. PROMs and other information of these subjects will be collected through the MOON study.

MSK Validation Study
Spinal posture and imbalance are known to be related to increased muscle expenditure, with narrow "cone of economy" of muscle effort defining the most comfortable postures. Therefore, it is hypothesized that predicting the posture of the lowest muscle effort available for a patient with a given spinal alignment and body properties will correspond to the posture the patient will most likely assume. Based on established musculoskeletal models, a model application was configured to allow prediction of this optimal posture. This study aims to assess the validity of this approach and the value of using biomechanical modeling for ...

Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) ACL Reconstruction (ACLR): Onsite Follow-up
In this study we will examine patients who have undergone unilateral ACL reconstruction surgery to determine which structural and functional characteristics of the knee two and ten years post reconstruction surgery, aspects of the original injury and repair, and patient characteristics are risk factors for osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction surgery.

Open Ended Trocar vs. Fenestrated Blunt Trocar in Bone Marrow Aspirate for Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability around the world. The aging population is only further increasing its prevalence. Moreover, increasing rates of obesity, as well as increasing athletic participation, is leading to patients developing OA at younger ages. Although total joint replacement is effective for alleviating the effects of OA for many patients, it is less beneficial for younger patients given the resultant reduced mobility and the ~15 year life of a total joint replacement. Therefore, new options are needed for OA. One such option is bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injection into the diseased joint. ...
