Reamer Irrigator Aspirator (RIA) vs Autogenous Iliac Crest Bone Graft (AICBG) for the Treatment of Non-unions

The specific question the investigators will seek to answer is: can the Reamer Irrigator Aspirator (RIA) provide a bone graft source for the treatment of nonunions that is equally effective to Autogenous Iliac Crest Bone Graft (AICBG) while resulting in a decreased amount of post-operative pain and a lower rate of complications?

Clinical Experience With the Zimmer Trabecular Metal (TM) Glenoid in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TMGlenoid)

The objective of this randomized controlled study is to obtain outcomes data on the Zimmer TM glenoid component by analysis of standard scoring systems and radiographs in comparison to the cemented glenoid component. In addition, the investigators plan to provide cost analysis based on the economic data collected to justify the cost difference between both implants.

Patients with acceptable glenoid bone stock will be randomized into two groups to be treated with either a TM Glenoid or cemented glenoid component with minimum 2 years follow-up; maximum 10 years follow-up.

The objective of this study is to determine whether pomalidomide is safe and effective in reversing red blood cell (RBC)-transfusion-dependence in persons with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-associated myelofibrosis. (Global Study) and to describe the frequency of anemia response to pomalidomide in Chinese participants with MPN-associated myelofibrosis and severe anemia not receiving REC-transfusions (China Extension Study only).
