Filter by:The goal of this prospective observational study is to compare pain control strategies in children with femur fractures. Researchers will compare ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment nerve block to IV pain control alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment nerve blocks as effective as IV pain control in controlling pain? - Do patients who receive an ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment nerve block require less opioid pain medication than those that don't? Participants will be asked to provide pain scores during their Emergency Department stay. Participants parents will be asked to complete a brief survey at the time their child is leaving the Emergency Department.
The aim of the study is to investigate postoperative pain relief for patients undergoing surgical treatment of proximal femoral fracture using intrathecal administration of morphine.
Pediatric orthopedic surgical procedures require a multimodal approach for anesthetic management that maximizes both patient comfort and safety. (1) A multimodal strategy for perioperative pain management is often required for children undergoing orthopedic surgery including pharmacological methods, and regional anesthesia (R.A). (1,2) Recent guidelines published jointly by the European Society of Regional Anesthesia (ESRA) and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) recommend that regional blocks can and should preferably be performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation in children of all ages. (3,4) Many studies investigated the safety of regional pediatric nerve blocks These studies showed pediatric complication rates consistent with adult data. These complications include nerve injury, intravascular injection and local anesthetics systemic toxicity (LAST), and acute compartmental syndrome. these complications have been minimized by ultrasound-guided nerve block in pediatrics. (5) The annual incidence of pediatric femoral fractures is estimated to be 19 per 100,000. Femoral fractures are usually associated with other injuries such as intracranial hemorrhages, lung contusions, hemothorax or pneumothorax, and other organ injuries which make regional anesthesia (R.A) is preferable as a sole technique or combined with general anesthesia to decrease the overall dosage of anesthetics and opioids. (6) The most tangible advantage of RA is profound and prolonged pain relief. Alternatively, pain relief can be given by opioids which are known to cause nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, decrease in gut motility and increase apneic spells in the population vulnerable to the same. Nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs can affect the immature renal system adversely. RA offers pain relief without changing the physiological milieu. (7) Fascia iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) has been widely used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip, femoral bone, and knee surgical procedures. FICB was first introduced by Dalens et al in 1989. This regional plane block technique was used to block the femoral nerve and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh and the obturator nerve with a high level of safety and success, well-suited for the anterolateral surgeries of the thigh. (8,9) Femoral nerve block (FNB) has been widely used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip, and femoral bone surgical procedures, it provides anesthesia and analgesia for the lateral aspect of the thigh and the femur bone. (10,11) FICB has a wider range of anesthesia and analgesia in lower limbs compared to FNB. but the use of dilute injectate in FICB may minimize sensory and motor block than FNB. (1,16) This study will be conducted to evaluate the effects of FICB vs FNB in pain control in pediatrics undergoing femoral fracture repair surgery.
Proximal femoral fractures commonly occur above 50 years and regional anesthesia could be a complement in the perioperative treatment of the patients. The use of pericapsular nerve group block (PENG Block) has been proposed to reduce pain. However, no studies have explored the efficient of the systemic analgesia associated with PENG Block in functional limitation in the preoperative period. In this sense, the main goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of systemic analgesia associated with PENG Block in patients with proximal femoral fractures in the period preceding the surgical procedure.
The aim is to clinical trials compare the lumbar plexus block method with the erector spinae plan block method in terms of analgesic efficacy and possible complications. İn patients for femur fracture surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. is erector spinae plane block as effective as lumbar plexus block for postoperative analgesia in femur fractures? 2. Is erector spinae plane block effective for reducing opioid consumption compared to lumbar plexus block?
Periprosthetic distal femur fractures are a significant source of morbidity and mortality for elderly patients. One treatment option involved a surgical fixation with plates or nails, screws and cables/wires along the side of your fractured bone. The second method consists in replacing your knee joint with an artificial knee prosthesis (artificial knee joint). The primary objective is to determine if acute distal femur replacement improves knee pain and functional outcomes compared to surgical fixation. Secondary outcomes are mortality, reoperation, complications, post-operative pain and quality of life. A health economic analysis will be conducted to assess the cost-effectiveness of both treatments. A total of 148 patients (74/group) will be enrolled in the study.
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare serum concentration of bone intake proteins [ sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), cross linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I)] and muscle atrophy marker [creatine kinase (CK-MB)] between patients after the fracture of proximal femur and their age corresponding counterpart without the fracture. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the higher concentration of bone intake proteins and muscle atrophy marker a predictive factor of proximal femur fracture? The part of participants (Group 1) will be hospitalized at the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation and will undergo a surgical treatment (open reduction of the fracture). The rest (Group 2) will be admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine. Participants of both Groups will have the blood sample test taken, to evaluate and compare the serum concentration of SHBG, CTX-I and CK-MB proteins.
Supracondylar femur periprosthetic fractures about a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are a catastrophic and challenging complication of TKA and unfortunately are increasing in incidence. Fixation of these fractures can be challenging due to altered anatomy for the TKA and the presence of the metallic femoral component and have a relatively high complication rate. As a result, some surgeons elect to treat these fractures with a distal femur replacement total knee arthroplasty (DFR). The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate periprosthetic femur fractures treated with ORIF or DFR and compare various outcomes measures (Get up and go times, KOOS Jr score)
Patients over the age of 65 who underwent elective surgery for a hip fracture and were sedated during spinal anesthesia were included in the study. Patients who were given ketamine and dexmedetomidine for sedation were included in the study. The Mini Mental Status Tests of the patients measured on the first and third days of the operation in the preoperative period were determined from the hospital records and recorded.
The study will test the hypothesis, that the use of medial wedge insoles in people participating in comprehensive rehabilitation between 1-6 months after total hip replacement, and not having a varus deformity of the knee or symptomatic arthrosis of the medial knee compartment, will improve patient's functioning, the symmetry of gait and stance compared to persons using sham insoles. The participants will undergo a 6-week program of in-patient rehabilitation aimed at: pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic pain management, improvement of vascular function, cardiopulmonary function, functions of skeletal muscles, range of motion and stability of peripheral joints, gait function, body position. The rehabilitation program will also address individual needs with psychotherapy and vocational therapy. The study will help to identify correlations between gait parameter change and functional improvement during the rehabilitation following THR. Study participants will be provided with individually made corrective medial wedge insoles or sham insoles and instructed to use them during gait training and everyday activities. Functional parameters will be examined at the study entry, at the end of 6 weeks of intervention, and 6 weeks following discharge.
