Filter by:Pain management is a crucial aspect of the care of hip fracture patients. Patients with poorly controlled pain have an increased risk of delirium, long-term functional impairment, and remain hospitalized longer. Today, to relieve hip fracture pain, fascia iliaca block is routinely performed in the emergency department in addition to other pain medications administered by vein or by mouth. Several studies have questioned the analgesic efficacy of this block, suggesting the superiority of the newer PENG block. The purpose of this multicenter, randomized study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of PENG block versus fascia iliaca block, hypothesizing the superiority of the new approach over the gold standard. Participants will be blindly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the study or control group, recruited from the Emergency Departments of IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo and Colchester Hospital (UK). The main outcome is represented by the reduction of pain after the two blocks, measured as %SPID (percentage of "pain intensity difference"), a value derived from VAS scale measurements in the first hour post-procedure. Secondly, we will evaluate the proportion of patients with satisfactory pain control, the amount of opioids used and the safety profile of the two approaches.
The purpose of this study is to compare if there are differences in wrist function and pain after a distal radius fracture treated conservatively with immobilization for 4 or 6 weeks in elderly patients after six months of follow-up.
Many approaches to the surgical treatment of OF-P have been tried, but no one method has stood out as particularly successful. The placement of three implants, including implants that could minimise motion in the sacroiliac joint through early fixation and long-term fusion of the sacroiliac joint, can prevent micromotion in the fracture and thereby improve the clinical outcome of OF-Ps. The iFuse-3D implant was shown to be safe and effective for chronic sacroiliac pain in non-osteoporotic patients. The primary aim is to assess the proportion of patients operated on using iFuse-3D in conjunction with transiliac-transsacral screws who regain pre-fracture mobility by the time of hospital discharge.
The goal of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of a blind fascia iliaca compartment block to an ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block in patients that present to the emergency department with hip fractures.
This is a multicenter, prospective, Post-market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Study on the ZNN Bactiguard Cephalomedullary Nails. The objective of this study is to collect data confirming the safety, performance, and clinical benefit of the study device and instrumentation when used for the temporary internal fixation and stabilization of trochanteric, sub-trochanteric or shaft femoral fractures and osteotomies. This is a CE-marked device already available on the market and the aim of the study is to comply with the post-market surveillance requirements.
This multi-center, prospective study will evaluate the use of topical tranexamic acid (TXA - Cyklokapron; Pfizer, New York, NY) on pre-operative and post-operative hemoglobin (Hb)/hematocrit (Hct) in patients undergoing operative repair of isolated posterior wall (PW) acetabular fractures.
The study is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to collect long-term data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Anatomical Shoulder 2.0 Fracture System (Implants and Instrumentation) when used for fracture shoulder arthroplasty. The primary objective is the assessment of safety by analyzing implant survivorship. This will be established by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified. The secondary objective is the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by recording patient-reported clinical outcome measures (PROMs) as well as radiographic outcomes.
China has gradually entered an aging society, and the incidence of osteoporotic fractures is increasing rapidly. Although the harm of osteoporotic fracture is huge, its diagnostic rate in China is still low. China still lacks a national osteoporotic fracture registration system, which has been established in many countries. The purpose of this study is to establish a Chinese osteoporotic fracture registration network platform (CORN), which will be helpful for the long-term comprehensive management of osteoporotic fracture population in China. This platform will help to establish a large prospective clinical cohort database of osteoporotic fractures and high-risk population in China.
The RECONSTRUCT study is a multi-center, prospective, single arm, post-market, pilot study to evaluate clinical and radiologic outcome data regarding the use of the Vertebral Implant PEEK (VIP) implant in the treatment of symptomatic, acute (<8week) vertebral compression fractures who have failed conservative care strategies.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effectiveness of using the Iovera Smart Time 190, for ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis, in trauma patients 18-64 years old with rib fractures that are not candidates for surgical stabilization. This will offer patients the benefits of cryoneurolysis of the intercostal nerves, thereby providing short and long term pain control while their ribs heal. The Iovera Smart Tip 190 is FDA approved for cryoneurolysis.
