Study Name
"Cartilage Autograft Implantation System (CAIS) for the Repair of Knee Cartilage Through Cartilage Regeneration"
Principle Investigator
Bradley Nelson, MD
Co-Investigator(s)
Devanshu Kansara, MD
Diagnosis Being Studied
Cartilage deficiencies of the knee including articular cartilage and osteochondritis dissecan (OCD) lesions.
Innovation
The Cartilage Autograft Implantation System (CAIS) is designed as a single surgical treatment of damaged knee cartilage using the
patient's own healthy cartilage obtained from a non-weight or low weight-bearing region. The harvested cartilage is then implanted
at the damage site and works to aid cartilage regeneration.
Enrollment Status
Open to enrollment.
Who Should Participate
- Males and females aged 18 - 55 years.
- Patients with an articular cartilage or OCD lesion in the knee which requires surgical repair.
- Patients in good general health.
Study Name
"A Randomized Comparison of NeoCart to Microfracture for the Repair of Articular Cartilage Injuries in the Knee"
Principle Investigator
Bradley Nelson, MD
Diagnosis Being Studied
Cartilage deficiencies of the knee including articular cartilage and osteochondritis dissecan (OCD) lesions.
Innovation
NeoCart takes a patient's healthy cartilage and places it onto a 3D matrix, or structure, to regenerate new cartilage. After a
growth period cartilage is harvested and through a second surgery, implanted back into the damaged cartilage area.
Enrollment Status
Closed, patients in long term follow up period.
Study Name
"Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair using Standard Double Row Technique with Platelet Rich Fibrin Membrane vs. Standard Double Row Technique: A Randomized Outcomes Study"
Principle Investigator
Michael Walsh, MD
Co-Investigator(s)
Bradley Nelson, MD and Jonathan Braman, MD
Diagnosis Being Studied
The rotator cuff muscles, as primary shoulder stabilizers, are essential to shoulder function. Thus, a rotator cuff tear has a large
effect on ability and quality of life. Rotator cuff repairs (RCRs) are now being performed through less invasive incisions with the
use of pencil-sized video cameras called an Arthroscope. Arthroscopic RCR allows patients to recover faster.
Innovation
Two successful techniques for arthroscopically repairing the rotator cuff are:
- Using two rows of sutures
- Using two rows of sutures augmented with membrane created with your own blood platelets.
The purpose of this study is to find out if there are any differences in recovery between the two techniques.
Enrollment Status
Open to enrollment.
Who Should Participate
- Patients who have a rotator cuff tear and will undergo an arthroscopic repair.
- Males and Females age 18 or older.
- Patients in good health.

Bradley Nelson, MD
Co-Investigator(s)
Joel Boyd, MD; David Fischer, MD; Alan Markman, MD; John Steubs, MD; Gary Fetzer, MD; Kirk Aadalen, MD; Devanshu Kansara, MD; Marc Tompkins, MD
Diagnosis Being Studied
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the four major ligaments that make up your knee. A tear of the ACL may
require a procedure called ACL reconstruction. The ACL is reconstructed using another tendon or ligament to substitute
the torn ligament.
Innovation
Evaluating the short-term outcomes and return to activities of daily living following ACL reconstruction.
Enrollment Status
Open to enrollment.
Who Should Participate
- Patients who will undergo an ACL reconstruction.
- Males and Females age 8 and older.
- Patients in good health.
Study Name
"Long Term Effects of a 5 Week Neuromuscular Training Program on Lower Limb Symmetry Index Scores and Outcome Scores following Unilateral Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction"
Principle Investigator

Co-Investigator(s)
John Bottoms, PT, DPT, OCS; Adam Meierbachtol, PT, DPT, ATC; Eric Paur, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC
Diagnosis Being Studied
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the four major ligaments that make up your knee. A tear of the ACL may require a procedure called an ACL reconstruction. Following reconstruction, rehabilitation is needed to return to activities of daily living as well as sport participation.
Innovation
Evaluating the long-term outcomes, functional test scores, and return to sport following ACL reconstruction.
Enrollment Status
Open to enrollment.
Who Should Participate
- Patients with who have an ACL tear and will undergo an ACL reconstruction.
- Males and Females age 14 to 18 years of age at the time of surgery.
- Patients in good general health.

Study Name
"Dupuytren's Contracture Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Two Concurrent Clostridial Collagenase Injections
in Adult Subjects with Multiple Dupuytren's Contractures with Palpable Cords."
Principle Investigator

Co-Investigator(s)
Deborah Bohn, MD; Yvonne Grierson, MD; Mark Wilczynski, MD;
Diagnosis Being Studied
With the diagnosis of Dupuytren's Contracture, connective tissue under the skin of the palm tightens or contracts
leaving patients unable to completely straighten the involved finger(s).
Innovation
Clostridial Collagenase is injected into the affected region of the palm of the hand intending to break up or pop the tightened connective tissue.
Enrollment Status
Closed.
Who Should Participate
- Patients with multiple Dupuytren's Contractures in the same hand
- Males and Females age 18 and older

Study Name
"Adult Stem Cell Study"
Principle Investigator
Joel Boyd, MD
The Problem
The meniscus, a C-shaped pad in the knee joint, can be torn or damaged.
Innovation
Adult stem cells, not embryonic, are injected into the affected region of the meniscus in an effort to regenerate the damaged tissue.
Enrollment Status
Closed, patients in follow-up.
Study Name
"Rotator Cuff Repair Study"
Principle Investigator
Jonathan Braman, MD and Devanshu Kansara, MD
Understanding the Rotator Cuff
The rotator cuff muscles, as primary shoulder stabilizers, are essential to shoulder function. Thus, a rotator cuff tear
has a large effect on ability and quality of life. Rotator cuff repairs (RCRs) are now being performed through less
invasive incisions with the use of pencil-sized video cameras called an Arthroscope. Arthroscopic RCR allows patients
to recover faster.
Aim of study
The two most common successful techniques for arthroscopic RCR are 1) single and 2) double row repair techniques. The
purpose of this study is to find out if there are any differences between the two techniques relating to function,
quality of life, general health, and cost.
Enrollment Status
Closed, patients in follow-up.
Study Name
"A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Group, Vehicle-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of OMS103HP-S
Administered in Joint Irrigation Solution to Subjects Undergoing Arthroscopic Meniscectomy"
Principle Investigator
Bradley Nelson, MD
Co-Investigator(s)
Joel Boyd, MD; John Steubs, MD; Gary Fetzer, MD; Kirk Aadalen, MD; Devanshu Kansara, MD
Diagnosis Being Studied
A meniscus is cartilage in the knee that helps to stabilize the knee and cushion the leg bones during daily activities.
The two most common causes of a meniscus tear are due to traumatic injury and degenerative processes. When surgical
treatment of a meniscus tear is required, the usual treatment is a procedure called an arthroscopic meniscectomy (removal
of some or the entire meniscus).
Innovation
During an arthroscopic meniscectomy, it is standard procedure to have saline flow through and wash your knee. In this study,
researchers want to find out if adding an investigational medicine (a combination of three FDA-Approved medicines) to the
saline fluid can help reduce joint pain and swelling after surgery.
Enrollment Status
Open to enrollment.
Who Should Participate
- Patients who have a meniscus tear and will undergo an arthroscopic meniscectomy.
- Males and females between 18 to 75 years of age.
- Patients in good health.
