1. A Study of Clinical Outcomes of Ultrasound-guided Carpal Tunnel Release Performed in a Procedural Room Setting

   Albert Lea, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to document the primary investigator’s clinical experience performing Ultrasound Guided Carpal Tunnel Release (USCTR) in the clinic procedure room setting through retrospective and prospective analysis of these now routinely collected clinical outcomes. 

2. A Study to Evaluate Preventative Saphenous Nerve Neurectomy in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of chronic knee pain at 6 months following primary total knee arthroplasty. Secondary outcomes include incidence of knee numbness, postoperative sensory loss or change at the knee, range of motion (ROM), resting pain with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), quality of life measurement assessed by SF-36.

3. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Adherus™ AutoSpray and Adherus™ AutoSpray ET Dural Sealant

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Adherus Dural Sealant when used in conjunction with standard methods of dural repair in spinal procedures. This trial uses the commercially available DuraSeal Exact (P080013b) as an active control. The trial is designed to demonstrate non-inferiority of Adherus Dural Sealant to DuraSeal Exact.
   Subjects who have consented to participate in this study prior to undergoing spinal surgery and experience a durotomy, will be considered for study enrollment.
    

4. 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.

5. Early Outcomes of Volar Capsulodesis for the Treatment of Scapholunate Ligament Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to:

   1. To provide a comprehensive review of Mayo Clinic’s experience with volar SLIL capsulodesis
   2. Investigate the relationships between patient risk factors and clinical variables with functional outcomes and patient satisfaction
   3. Determine rates of complication, revision surgeries and salvage for failure

6. Genetic Expression in Osteolysis, Infection, Arthrofibrosis & Metal Reactions in THA & TKA: A Microarray Analysis to Characterize Individual Host Response to the Molecular Mechanisms of Loosening and Arthrofibrosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being conducted to determine gene and protein expression profiles (i.e. which genes and proteins are turned off and on) of those with a possibility of developing osteolysis, infection, arthrofibrosis or metallosis of their THA/TKA.

7. Knee Biologic Preservation: Functional and Clinical Outcome

   Rochester, Minn.

   The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing biologic knee preservation surgery. Secondary purpose is to identify possible correlation between outcome and pre-operative radiological findings (i.e. bony abnormalities such as mal-alignment, size of cartilage defect).

8. A Study to Create a Registry of Non-Fusion Spinal Deformity Correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

   Rochester, Minn., Minneapolis, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of non-fusion surgical treatment of Spinal Deformity Correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

   The Post Approval Study (PAS) is gathering data on the Tether device and it's efficacy and safety.

9. A Study to Validate the Patient-Specific Functional Survey in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if the Patient-Specific Functional Survey (PSFS) is a valid and reliable measure to evaluate functional difficulties with carpal tunnel syndrome.

10. Detection of Infection in Arthroplasty

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of molecular detection of microorganisms, detection of microbial proteins and antibodies against microorganisms, and inflammatory markers (e.g., leukocyte esterase, CRP) in synovial fluid for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI).
