Isolation of Bone Cells and Biomolecules from Human Surgical Bone Waste
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to obtain bone from up to 200 patients undergoing orthopedic procedures (including elective hip replacement or hip replacement following fracture) to perform these studies. From these waste bone samples that would otherwise be discarded following review by pathology, we will isolate bone cells (osteoblasts, osteoclast, and osteocytes), protein, RNA, and DNA.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Bimagrumab on Improvement in Total Lean Body Mass and Physical Performance Following Surgical Treatment of Hip Fracture.
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to identify an effective dose of bimagrumab that can increase lean muscle mass and improve physical function, then continue to assess the safety and effectiveness of bimagrumab in patients with muscle wasting after hip fracture surgery.

Direct Anterior vs. Anterolateral Approach for Hip Arthroplasty After Femoral Neck Fracture in the Senior Population
Rochester, MN
Displaced femoral neck fractures are one group of hip fracture patients that are commonly treated with cemented hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). In the elective hip arthroplasty population, the direct anterior approach (DAA) has shown to be effective in helping patients to quickly obtain high postoperative function. This approach has also been shown to be effective in arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in a few studies. However, the only studies that directly compare two approaches for hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures utilize the anterolateral approach (ALA) versus posterior approach (PA) or DAA versus PA. No studies ...

Evaluating Marrow Edema will Improve the Confidence Level of Radiology Trainees in Detection of Pelvic or Hip Fractures
No Locations
The purposes of this study are to assess the accuracy of dual-energy CT (DECT) virtual non-calcium technique to detect subtle or occult pelvic or hip fractures in emergency room patients and to assess the impact on confidence of detection of pelvic or hip fractures utilizing the VNCa technique in radiology trainees with varying degrees of training.
