Filter by:Femoral neck fracture is a common type of fracture in the elderly. For those without significant displacement (Garden I, II), more hip-preserving treatment strategies are adopted. The classic parallel hollow screw internal fixation for hip-preserving treatment is based on the sliding compression theory, and a clinical debate has gradually emerged, that is, the positive triangle And the two different spatial distribution methods of hollow nails and inverted triangle, which one is better. In addition, the distribution of hollow nails in actual operations is difficult to achieve a standard triangular distribution, and the damage to the epiphyseal vessels in the femoral head caused by repeated drilling of the guide needle cannot always be ignored. The relationship between the distribution and injury of blood vessels in the femoral head and the spatial distribution of hollow screws on the prognosis of head necrosis of non-displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly is worth studying. This topic is based on the three advantages of TianJi orthopedic robots used in the elderly femoral neck fracture hollow nail hip-saving surgery: 1.standardized triangular nail placement with strong repeatability; 2. precise nail placement to reduce the risk of screw penetration; 3. limited guide pins The number of drill holes is to rule out repeated drill holes that damage the blood vessels in the femoral head. The preoperative and postoperative vascular injury in the femoral head (enhanced MRI of the femoral head) was compared to assess the prognosis of patients, and to clarify the influence of the spatial distribution of hollow screws on the blood supply and prognosis of the femoral neck fracture in the elderly.
Rational for conducting the study: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most feared complication following prosthetic replacement of the hip joint and is associated with increased mortality, morbidity and economic burden. The aim of the trial is to investigate whether the risk of periprosthetic joint infection after treatment with hemiarthroplasty performed due to femoral neck fracture is reduced after the use of dual-impregnated antibiotic loaded cement. The primary outcome variable is the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection within one year after the index procedure. Secondary outcome variables include the occurrence of re-operations for any reason, bacteriology, antibiotic treatment, mortality and health care costs.
The study will prospectively follow patients with lower limb fractures to assess changes in weight after injury
This study will evaluate and compare the efficacy of 2 commonly-used methods of fracture immobilisation: (1) Fiberglass cast, and (2) Thermoplastic splint. Both these devices are externally applied and provide pain relief while immobilising the fracture in an acceptable position. Casts and splints are both established devices in routine clinical use.
Local application of antibiotics directly to the traumatic wound is a promising treatment for the prevention of infection after open tibia fractures, which are a significant source of disease burden globally, particularly in low-income countries. This study aims to measure the effect of locally applied gentamicin on risk of infection for open tibial fractures in Tanzania. If proven effective, local gentamicin would be a highly cost-effective strategy to reduce complications and disability from open tibial fractures that could impact care in both high- and low-income countries.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether short-arm fiberglass cast (SAC) immobilization provides fracture stabilization comparable to that of long-arm cast (LAC) treatment of displaced and non-displaced distal Salter Harris I/II forearm fractures in paediatric patients.
Aim of our study is to compare immediate full weight-bearing and partial weight-bearing for 6 weeks after a tibial shaft fracture treated with intramedullary nailing. Co-primary outcome is return to work and physical component scale in the SF-36 questionnaire.
The aim of this study is to analyze total lenght of the sick leace and functional outcome (PRWE) at 2 months between 2 weeks casting and immediate mobilization following volar plating for a DRF.
The study aims to collect the clinical activity and management data of the Orthogeriatrics and Orthopedics Units participating in the study on a continuous and long-term basis. By collecting clinical data and comparing the performance of the various centers, the study aims to guide the participating centers towards the principles of good clinical practice in orthogeriatrics.
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational, cohort study involving skilled cardiothoracic surgeons who are experienced in implanting the treatment of non-flail chest rib fractures and the use of RibFix Blu Thoracic Fixation System.
