Diaphyseal femoral fracture in children <6 years old are treated by the skin traction technique. As demonstrated by numerous studies, given the significant potential for bone remodeling in young children, remodeling (excluding rotational disorder) allows anatomical correction. The aim of this study is to confirm, via EOS imaging, the absence of residual deformities 3 years after the end of treatment in children treated in Amiens hospital department.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that by allowing patients with an anticoagulant level less than 100 ng/ml to have their fracture managed surgically, will reduce the delay in surgery and therefore the complications associated. It will also demonstrate that there are no more complications with this new management than from remaining with a bleeding fracture.
The study aims to determine if antibiotic-loaded cement reduces post-surgery infection rates compared to non-antibiotic cement. The trial involves 450 elderly patients with specific hip fractures, assessing infection incidence, implant stability, and associated costs. This randomized, blinded study is conducted by IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele.
Femur Fractures (PF) are nowadays one of the main social and health problems in industrialized countries. PF are defined as crack or break of the proximal femur and they represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly population. The main prospective and retrospective studies do not show the superiority of subarachnoid anesthesia over general anesthesia in terms of 30-day mortality and post-operative complications, however they always recommend the execution of PeripheralNerve Blocks (PNB). Loco-regional anesthesia plays a fundamental role in the treatment of peri-operative pain assuring better hemodynamic stability and has already fully entered national and international pain management protocols, because it allows faster recovery times with a reduction in the use of intravenous analgesic drugs in particular opioids and consequently a faster discharge and a reduction in peri-operative complications and the costs of assistance. The aim of our study will be to propose an anesthetic approach based on PNB that could be particularly suitable for frail patients especially when Neuroaxial Anesthesia (NA) is not feasible due to difficulty to position the patient or to the withdrawal time of anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the new bone formation around a metal device in the femoral head in patients with osteoporotic hip fractures undergoing surgical treatment with nails. These surgeries have a high risk of fixation failure in patients with osteoporosis due to low bone quality. The main question we aim to answer are whether promoting new bone formation around the implant is possible with a bone graft substitute (CERAMENT™ Bone Void Filler) and systemic osteoporosis drug (zoledronic acid) combination, which can strengthen the surgical fixation of the fracture. Participants will consist of patients suffering hip fracture and already scheduled for surgical treatment with a nail. One group will undergo conventional surgery. While the other group will also undergo the same surgery, they will receive CERAMENT™ Bone Void Filler around the implant as a short, extra step during surgery. This will allow the researchers to see whether new bone is formed during a 6-month follow-up.
The goal of this observational multicenter case series is to assess the safety and performance of the CE-marked "Biphasic Plate Distal Femur" during standard of care.
The study will be conducted with volunteer patients who are followed up by the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Training and Research Hospital and who have undergone proximal femur fracture surgery and meet the study criteria. It is aimed to investigate the mid-term efficacy of relaxation exercises and classical massage of the sole of the foot applied in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program in the postoperative in-hospital period in patients with proximal femur fracture.
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.
