Filter by:X-rays (XR) are today the standard modality for the diagnosis of bone fractures in the lower or upper limbs in the emergency room. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an alternative with some obvious advantages especially in the emergency room setting: It does not require the patient to fix the bone of interest in a stable position, allows observing the bone and joints under movement by the patient, can be performed at bedside, and avoids the exposure to radiation. The advances in ultrasound technology has increased the interest in using POCUS as an alternative to XR in recent years. POCUS is used routinely prior to XR at the ORTHO-NOTFALL of the Merian Iselin Klinik Basel (MIK) in patients with suspicion for an indirect elbow trauma. It is the aim of this project to use this constellation in order to contribute to a systematic comparison of the value of the two modalities with the long-term aim to establish POCUS as the first-line diagnostic tool. As a fist project, the SONOELB study was initiated. This study aims at a comparison of the diagnostic accuracy between XR and POCUS using CT as reference. The project started in October 2022 and aims at enrolling 130 patients until March 2025. The project is financially supported by the Merian Iselin Science Research PLC.
Decathlon has developed elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP products which are medical devices that must be positioned around the elbow during sport practice, in order to limit symptoms related to epicondylitis or previous sprains (elbowMID500 only). The objective of this multicentre study is to collect data on the related clinical complications and clinical outcomes of market-approved Decathlon elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP products to demonstrate safety and performance of these devices in a real-world setting. Outcome data collected from this study will provide the basis for Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) reporting, Clinical Study Report (CSR), Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) on Decathlon elbowMID500 and elbowSTRAP devices and support peer-reviewed publications on products performance and safety.
This study will be looking at people with lateral elbow tendinopathy (elbow pain). The goal is to determine if a one-time isometric intervention will positively change the level of pain and strength as compared to baseline measurements. After determining baseline strength and pain level, an intervention consisting of several trials of isometric hand/wrist contractions will be performed by the participant. Pain and strength will again be assessed immediately after the intervention.
