Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an increased dose closer to surgery of this oral nutritional supplement PCA can result in a change in C. acnes positive cultures and bacterial load seen at the time of elective primary Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA). We seek to determine whether this higher dose of the nutrient supplement changes the bacterial load during total shoulder arthroplasty. Our hypothesis is that subjects who consume the increased dose of the nutrient supplement may exhibit a reduction the growth of C. acnes, especially in the deeper cultures.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

The objective of the study is to determine if there is a difference in ultrasound image quality of the interscalene block anatomy, at point of care, pre- versus post-operatively in a cohort of patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy who routinely receive blockade of the brachial plexus for postoperative analgesia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of concentrated bone marrow aspirate administration after Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) surgical procedure, and to determine pain relief, disease progression and range of motion in patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder.
