Tenon Medical CATAMARAN™ SI Joint Fusion System CT Scan Study
The objective of this study is to evaluate 6-to-12-month radiographic outcomes of patients with sacroiliac joint disruptions or degenerative sacroiliitis that have already undergone treatment with the CATAMARAN SI Joint Fusion System. In addition, retrospective and prospective clinical outcomes will be evaluated.

Tetracycline Treatment Tolerability Trial
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (with a one-week washout period) where subjects receive either 3 months of tetracycline or 3 months of placebo. After the 3 month primary endpoint, in the follow-up period, patients will be assigned to the alternate treatment for 3 months with blind maintained.

The Course of Hip Flexion Weakness Following LLIF or ALIF
The purpose of this study is to assess the course of hip weakness after LLIF or ALIF procedures. These outcomes include measures of hip strength using a dynamometer, which is a device used to measure muscle strength. While it is known that people experience temporary hip and leg weakness after an LLIF or ALIF, the exact timing of when hip and leg strength is regained after an LLIF or ALIF is not known.

The Impact of Simulated Forest Immersion Therapy on Pain and Anxiety in Patients Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA)
The purpose of the study is to learn about the ease of using a humidified fragrant citrus forest oil, along with a virtual simulation of a forest environment (i.e., with sights and sounds of nature using a personal tablet Surface Pro 3 with headphones, to learn more about how these two aspects of the simulated forest immersion therapy (SFIT) may improve pain, anxiety, blood-pressure, and heart rate related to Axial Spondyloarthritis. The investigators hope to learn how well SFIT may impact pain levels, feelings of calm, as well as blood- pressure and heart rate, and how participants tolerate the experience overall.

The Influence of Repairing the Sub-scapularis on Outcomes After Reverse Arthroplasty
The study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized blinded study to determine how repairing the subscapularis vs. not repairing the subscapularis when subjects are implanted with the AltiVate Reverse® Shoulder System for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty affects isometric and isokinetic internal rotational strength. It is hypothesized that patients in which the subscapularis is repaired will have improved postoperative isometric and isokinetic internal rotational strength.

The Prevalence of the Linburg-Comstock Variation
The purpose of this study is to explore the physical exam characteristics of patients referred to orthopedic surgeons with a diagnosis of thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis. CMC osteoarthritis of the thumb is one of the most common degenerative conditions of the hand in 11% of men and 33% of women (Gillis et al., 2011). Patients with CMC arthritis may experience pain, decreased range of motion, loss of grip and pinch strength, often limiting participation in activities of daily living (Bertozzi et al., 2014). In 1979, two physicians identified a variation of a tendinous connection in the wrist between the tip of the index finger and the tip of the thumb known as...

Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Hyperextension in an Arthritic Population; Part 2
This is the second phase of a clinical study to assess MP hyperextension in CMC arthritis. In the first phase, submitted for publication, the investigators demonstrated that there is poor correlation between dynamic control of the MP joint and the amount of passive hyperextension preoperatively in a sample of patients with CMC arthritis.

Treatment of Acute Periprosthetic Joint Infection Comparing Single and Planned Double-Debridement Antibiotics and Implant Retention Followed by Chronic Antibiotic Suppression
The purpose of this research is to evaluate two different standard of care surgeries in treating periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total hip and knee arthroplasty. Researchers are looking at differences in outcomes following single versus planned double debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) for acutely infected total hip arthroplasty (THA), and total knee arthroplasties (TKAs).
