Filter by:Elderly patients strength and function, specifically the ability to rise from a seat after either operative or non operative treatment of an mayo type 2 olecranon fracture.
This protocol describes a multicenter, prospective randomized superiority trial of medial epicondyle fracture treatments comparing functional outcomes between children treated with operative reduction and fixation or non-operative immobilization.
The study design is a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing extended elbow and flexed elbow casting. This study design will provide the highest quality evidence to investigate our primary hypothesis that extended elbow casting for proximal both bone forearm fractures will result in less loss of fracture alignment. The study population eligible for screening will be patients with open growth plates and both bone forearm fractures.
Surgery is a common treatment type for damaged joints, tendons and nerves in the upper limb where conservative measures are inappropriate or have failed. These conditions are common and result in significant levels of pain and functional disability. The investigators are conducting a broad ranging study of variation in the provision of surgical treatment and factors affecting outcomes after surgical treatment of upper limb conditions. This will be a population-based study of all patients undergoing surgical treatment funded by the National Health Service (NHS) of England over a nineteen-year period. This study will help to understand the factors associated with a poor outcome following surgery, which can be shared with patients considering treatment options. The investigators will also document current and future health service burden associated with commonly performed surgical procedures including complications and repeat operations.
The treatment of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures is controversial, but despite the injury's high incidence there is a lack of high level evidence to guide operative versus non-operative decision making for displaced fractures with an intact posterior cortex (Gartland Type II). This study aims to prospectively compare clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes between operatively and non-operatively treated patients using a prospective multi-centre cohort design.
