Study of special cells taken during orthopedic surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study collects small cell samples from certain body tissues during planned orthopedic surgeries. The researchers will study these cells to understand their potential use in future treatments and to see if using them is safe and helpful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are scheduled for planned (elective) orthopedic surgery at the study hospital
- Your surgery is one of these: hip or knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, or rotator cuff repair
- You can understand the study and sign the consent form
- Your blood/viral test is negative for HIV, HCV, HBV, and TPHA

This study looks at tissue and blood samples from people having knee replacement surgery to understand how knee arthritis works and how materials used in surgery interact with the body. It may help doctors develop better treatments for knee arthritis.
This study collects and stores biological samples to help researchers better understand muscle and bone problems like osteoarthritis, bone tumors, and infected joint implants. If you are eligible, your samples may support future research that could lead to better prevention or treatments.
This study collects leftover samples (like tissue, saliva, or blood) from routine dental visits or oral surgeries. The samples are used to learn more about mouth and jaw diseases, with no extra procedures needed.
This study collects tiny pieces of tissue that would normally be thrown away during heart or bone surgery. Researchers will use these samples to better understand how tissues work and develop better treatments. Your participation involves letting doctors keep and study a small amount of tissue removed during your scheduled surgery.
This study collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This trial collects discarded tissue from certain surgeries and grows it in the lab to study cell culture methods. It may help researchers improve how they prepare and use cells for future medical research.
