1. Preserved Autonomic Function Following Spinal Cord Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize gradients of dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system after spinal cord injury.  

2. Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems for Minnesota Region (SCIMS)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to contribute to the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) national database through longitudinal assessment of long-term health and psychosocial outcomes after acquired spinal cord injury (SCI). 

    

    

3. Thoracotomy Versus Thoracoscopic Management of Pulmonary Metastases in Patients With Osteosarcoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if open surgical resection is superior to thoracoscopic resection for thoracic event-free survival (tEFS) in patients with resectable oligometastatic pulmonary osteosarcoma.

   Furthermore, to determine if open surgical resection is superior to thoracoscopy for event free survival (EFS), for overall survival (OS), and if thoracoscopy is superior to open surgical resection for postoperative pain interference in patients with resectable oligometastatic pulmonary osteosarcoma.

4. A Study to Compare 3- and 4-Part Proximal Humerus Fractures Undergoing Elected Nonoperative vs. Operative Management

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare validated clinical and functional outcomes between patients who acutely present with 3- and 4-part Proximal Humerus Fractures (PHFs) treated nonoperatively or with rTSA. We hypothesize that in displaced 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures, rTSA will have better pain relief and functional outcomes than nonoperative treatment.

    

5. A Study to Evaluate A Patient's Perception of Indwelling Foley Catheters Following Total Hip or Total Knee Arthroplasty

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the orthopedic patients’ perspective on the use of indwelling foley catheters.

6. Postoperative Oral Tranexamic Acid in Patients Undergoing Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an extended oral TXA regimen on patient reported outcome scores, time to independent ambulation, postoperative range of motion, swelling, change in hemoglobin levels, 90-day complications, readmission and reoperation.

7. A Study to Measure Elbow and Ankle Range-of-Motion via Teleconferencing

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the validity and reliability of teleconferencing measurements for elbow and ankle joint range of motion (ROM).

8. A Study to Evaluate Photon Counting Detector CT Utility in Identifying Acute Wrist Fractures.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to examine the ability of PCD-CT to (1) display subtle fractures of the wrist using the system’s increased spatial resolution compared to conventional wrist CT and MR; and (2)  evaluate the ability of PCD-CT with virtual non-calcium images to identify bone marrow edema at acute fracture sites.

    

9. Brachial plexus patients undergoing upper limb amputation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to follow Mayo Clinic patients with severe brachial plexus injuries who underwent upper limb amputation. 

10. A Study to Evaluate the Effects of Physical Therapy on Patients Treated with Surgery (Periacetabular Osteotomy or PAO) for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to assess perioperative and postoperative outcomes to date in patients treated with surgery (Periacetabular Osteotomy or PAO) for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) receiving formal postoperative physical therapy versus those patients who did not receive formal postoperative physical therapy.
