The overall purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of a cross-country non-inferiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing midline sparing decompression alone (MSDA) to usual care (decompression with fusion).

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of surgical fixation (cancellous screws versus sliding hip screws) and biologic intervention (Vitamin D versus placebo) on patient important outcomes.

HIP ATTACK is an international randomized controlled trial of 1200 patients with a hip fracture that requires a surgical intervention.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a costly health condition affecting more than 10% of Canadian adults. Excessive and unbalanced loads passing through the knee joint have been implicated in the progression of OA.

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most prevalent and costliest chronic health conditions affecting Canadians.  In the absence of a cure, identification of effective and inexpensive treatment strategies is paramount.  Shoe-worn insoles (orthotics) may play a role in this regard.  However, outcomes

Physical activity is an essential first-line treatment for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, only 13% of patients meet the activity recommendation of 150 minutes or more per week.

The aim of this study is to develop an on-line eLearning self-management program to help people with osteoarthritis deal with employment issues and stay employed.

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 a

To determine if Far Cortical Locking screws increase fracture healing rates at 3 months in Closed Distal Femur Fractures in adults when compared to standard locking screw constructs.

Fracture healing at 3 months will be assessed via x-ray and clinical assessment of the fracture.

At the Falls Prevention Clinic, each subject receives a comprehensive assessment of his or her individual risk factors for falling in addition to a comprehensive medical examination. Recommendations and appropriate followup tests and referrals are ordered for patients on an individual basis.
