Filter by:There are two common and concurrently used strategies for pain management following surgical treatment of supracondylar humerus (elbow) fractures in children: opioids vs over the counter pain medications. The purpose of this study is to determine if ibuprofen and acetaminophen can provide similar or better pain relief compared to ibuprofen and hydrocodone/acetaminophen (also known as Hycet) for this population of children after they have been discharged. If over the counter medications can provide adequate pain relief, then fewer opioid prescriptions would be necessary. This reduces early opioid exposure and decreases unnecessary opioids in circulation.
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Freedom Constrained Vivacit-E Acetabular Liners in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.
The therapeutic choice for femoral neck fracture is conventionally made between conservative treatment and total hip arthroplasty. This choice for patients aged between 45 and 64 years old remains a controversial subject. The aim of our work was to describe the current situation in the management of femoral neck fractures in these patients and to evaluate the results of the two options
This study is a global, multi-center, prospective, non-controlled, non-randomized, post-market clinical follow-up study. The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Dual Mobility Acetabular System when used with the Vivacit-E or Longevity polyethylene hip bearing and instrumentation in primary total and revision (total) hip arthroplasty
The purpose of this study is to evaluate both genotypic differences and differences in local gene expression in individuals who develop acute traumatic compartment syndrome relative to control patients with at-risk lower extremity fractures who do not develop compartment syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes between two immobilization methods for pediatric proximal half both bone forearm fractures.
A commercially available product clinical study which aims to confirm the safety, performance, and clinical benefits to the patient of the ALPS Clavicle Plating system for both the implant itself and the instrumentation used during surgery.
The addition of the steroid dexamethasone to a single injection of local anesthetic has been shown to significantly prolong the duration of peripheral nerve blockade compared to local anesthetic alone. This allows for improved post-operative pain scores and reduces opioid use in the early post-operative period. However, the use of a steroid adjuvant in regional nerve blocks is generally not considered standard of care, and there is considerable variation among anesthesiologists regarding preferred formulations and the role of adjuvants in regional anesthesia. A recent study from our institution demonstrated the effectiveness of dexamethasone directly mixed with local anesthetic at multiple doses compared to placebo for upper extremity surgery. With this prospective randomized controlled blinded trial, we hope to definitively establish which method of adjuvant dexamethasone administration is superior in extending the effects of a brachial plexus nerve block.
A comparison of oral morphine equivalents between an opiate sparing cohort and an opiate based cohort following open reduction internal fixation of a distal radius fracture.
Intertrochanteric fractures are commonly stabilized using an intramedullary nail with a lag screw that enters the lateral cortex of the femur. This lag screw commonly protrudes during the healing process and may cause implant related pain. This study will help determine if implant related pain is different depending to the lag screw design.
