Filter by:The main purpose of this project is to investigate the accuracy of pocket-sized ultrasound (PsUS) in the diagnosis of pediatric elbow fractures. The primary research objective is to determine the test performance characteristics of PSUS performed by pediatric emergency medicine physicians compared to radiography for the detection of pediatric elbow fractures. The project will consist of two parts, first involving a feasibility study and followed by an active study. The feasibility study will aim to answer if providers can perform an adequate elbow ultrasound exam after a brief study training. The active study will investigate the initial accuracy of the PsUS. Participants will be asked in either the feasibility or the active phases of the study to undergo a brief pocket-sized ultrasound elbow exam of both elbows. Patient will continue to receive their previously determined clinical ED management. In the active phase of the study, participant's elbow X-rays or if patient underwent bedside nursemaid reduction will be the comparison to pocket-sized ultrasound images.
The purpose of this research study is to assess whether the presence of therapy dogs can reduce pain and anxiety in children ages 3 to 10 having pins removed from their elbow.
The objective of this retrospective and prospective consecutive series PMCF study is to collect long-term data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the ExploR Radial Head System (implants and instrumentation) when used for radial head arthroplasty.
This study is investigating the effect of using a regional interdependence approach of managing non-structural elbow pain with physical therapy.
PrEvention of posttraumatic contractuRes with Ketotifen 2 (PERK 2) is a Phase III randomized, controlled, double blinded multicenter trial with 3 parallel groups (Ketotifen 2 mg or 5 mg or lactose placebo twice daily orally for 6 weeks) and a primary endpoint of elbow extension-flexion range of motion (ROM) arc at 12 weeks post-randomization.
This is a study of the muscle stabilizers of the elbow with respect to the prevention of Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) injuries in pitchers. Pitchers are assessed at spring training and end of season for approximately 5 years. Pronator, flexor digitoum superficialis (FDS), and wrist flexion strength will be measured and correlated with upper extremity injuries and time missed from pitching. The investigators will also be measuring loss of strength over the season. The goal is to learn whether strength in these muscles prevents UCL injuries and finally whether these muscles can be strengthened to avoid such injuries.
