Filter by:studying if using extracorporeal radial shockwave therapy as an adjuvant therapy help in accelerating the bone healing and regeneration in mandibular fractures by comparing it with the standard protocol for fractures fixation by plates and screws.
Prospective patient registry examining the outcome of three different treatment methods for proximal humerus fractures in elderlies: conservative treatment, open and minimal invasive surgical treatment.
Osteosyntheses employed in treating fractures at the upper end of the femur play a critical role in facilitating a swift recovery by minimizing immobilization periods and enabling early rehabilitation of the affected joints, thereby promoting a speedy return to normal walking function. Osteosynthesis alters the mechanical dynamics of the bone segment, which undergoes continual changes during the consolidation and mobilization phases of recovery. Throughout these stages, a range of mechanical complications may arise, posing challenges despite the successful prevention of infections. Non-infectious complications associated with the presence of osteosynthesis materials, especially in weight-bearing areas like the lower limb, remain a concern. In light of these considerations, surgeons must exercise meticulous care in selecting synthetic materials to mitigate the risk of osteosynthesis failures. In cases where internal fixation fails, the standard recourse often involves converting to total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it is essential to note that THA subsequent to complications arising from proximal femur osteosynthesis presents a higher incidence of both intraoperative and postoperative complications compared to the implantation of primary total hip prostheses. Thus, while osteosynthesis remains a valuable intervention for femur fractures, careful attention to material selection and postoperative management is crucial in optimizing patient outcomes and minimizing complications.
Prospective, comparative, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the outcomes of trochanteric nailing in unstable hip fractures with and without a distal interlocking screw.
Tibial plateau fractures are complex injuries produced by high- or low-energy trauma. They principally affect young adults or the 'third age' population ,the tibial plateau is a major weight-bearing surface within the largest and most kinematically complex joint in the human body. Fractures occur as a result of a combination of an axial loading force and a coronal plane (varus/valgus) moment leading to articular shear and depression and mechanical axis malalignment,So Limb alignment and articular surface restoration, allowing early knee motion, are the main goals of surgical treatment. Soft-tissue damage in fractures around the knee is of critical importance. The oedema and inflammation associated with the trauma can easily lead to local venous compromise, dermal hypoxia, and additional soft-tissue injury. This commonly leads to blistering of the skin and in some cases dermal and even muscle necrosis. Blood-filled blisters should be expected to be associated with a worse outcome than clear fluid-filled ones. Management in the early stages of treatment should focus on preventing further soft-tissue injury while waiting to repair the fracture. Traditionally, initial radiograph diagnosis should include anteroposterior (AP), lateral and oblique views. But single radiographs do not allow an exact fragment identification and the initial fracture classification can change in 5% to 24% (mean 12%) of cases and treatment can change in up to 26% of cases after CT scan imaging . These findings and the wider availability of CT scanning have made the oblique views less important in the diagnosis. Intra- and peri-articular soft-tissue structures can be affected even in less complex fracture patterns and some X-ray or CT scan data can also suggest the existence of a lateral or medial meniscal tear. Articular depression > 6 mm and/or articular widening > 5 mm are associated with the existence of lateral meniscus, lateral collateral ligament (LCL) or posterior cruciate ligament injuries . Schatzer classification (published in 1974) will be used to complete understanding of the personality of these fracture which is the key element in decision making process when choosing the best possible treatment . In general ,tibial plateau fracture are to be operated on , but the decision whether to be operated or not on a specific fracture should be based on the fracture morphology ,soft tissues , the patient general condition and the expected limb axis and articular surface restoration. Usual indications for surgical treatment are : 1. Intra-articular displacement of ⩾ 2 mm 2. Metaphyseal -diaphyseal translation > 1 cm 3. Angular deformity more than 10 degree in the coronal or sagittal view 4. Open fracture , compartment syndrome and associated ligament injury require repair. 5. Associated fractures of the ipsilateral tibia or fibula Frequently the depressed articular fragments have to elevated back toward the knee , followed by fixation and sometimes supplemented with bone graft to fill any cancellous bone voids left beneath the joint surface after fracture reduction . We will evaluate treatment outcomes of closed reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation for tibial plateau fractures versus open reduction and fixation by plate
The AO@AI Turin project is a collaborative project with a Turin group and the AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen, or in English, Association for the Study of Internal Fixation) foundation. An Image database (DB) has been built to host AP pelvic radiographs ready for artificial intelligence (AI) development. The goal of this project is to determine the agreement between the Turin annotation of fracture status and the annotation from an external group of AO expert surgeons for a random subset of the Turin images.
Assessment of Serum Concentration of Interleukin-17 and Osteoprotegerin in Response to Surgical Trauma Induced by Management of Mandibular Fractures via Intraoral Versus Extraoral Approaches: Prospective Cohort Study
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with rib fractures who undergo cryoablation of the intercostal nerves have improved pain control 7 days from procedure when compared to those who have a ESP catheter.
Prospective observational clinical, molecular, translational and basic study aimed at identifying the main determinants and predictive factors of risk of bone damage in acromegaly patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the hypothesis that there are none difference in the treatment result of orthognathic surgery on the lower jaw, with interoperative wisdom tooth removal rather than preoperative wisdom tooth removal. In patients with severe dental malocclusion combined with a dentofacial deformity. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is there a difference in the degree of complication and the patient's perception, with inter-operative wisdom tooth removal rather than pre-operative wisdom tooth removal. Participants will be will be divided into two groups, with one group having their wisdom teeth removed 6 months before their jaw moving surgery and the other group having their wisdom teeth removed in connection with their jaw moving surgery.
