Filter by:A hip fracture is a large burden to the patient with increased mortality, pain and increased need for daily assistance. Trochanteric fractures of the femur (FTF) represents about 35% of the hip fractures. Today FTFs are mainly treated with internal fixation using sliding hips screws (SHS) or intramedullary nail (IMN), whilst hip arthroplasty (THA/HA) is rarely used. Despite advances in the design of the internal fixation implants there is a high failure rate, in particular in cases of FTFs classified as unstable fractures. Since the introduction of hip arthroplasty in femoral neck fractures there has been a reduction in complication rates, early mobilization and shorter hospital stays. The primary objective of this project is to investigate if treatment with hip arthroplasty in unstable FTFs will increase the postoperative mobility, give a better general health outcome for the patient, better quality of life and reduce re-operation rate for the patients compared to those operated with the traditional IMN.
Background: Condylar fracture is a common mandibular fracture which accounts for 25-40%. Nowadays the preference started to change towards open reduction because of the late complications that might happen in case of closed treatment. A Transmasseteric Anteroparotid (TMAP) approach for open reduction and internal fixation of condylar fractures overcomes the problems of difficult access and facial nerve injury risk of other conventional approaches. Different plating options are available for internal fixation of the condyle and subcondylar region. Trapezoidal Condylar Plates (TCP) specifically developed for the osteosynthesis of low and high subcondylar fracture. These plates were designed to closely follow the tensile strain lines along the rim of the sigmoid notch anteriorly combined with a posterior arm to parallel the condylar axis free of harmful bending strains.
The study will investigate the shortening and collapse of pertrochanteric fractures following surgical management with the TFN-Advanced nailing system. The focus will be on comparing radiographic assessments of nails which have been statically locked versus dynamically locked. This is a randomized control study with the initial invention being randomized to either statically locking or dynamically locking. For a two-month period, all eligible patients will receive the randomized allocated treatment, then treatment will switch to the alternate treatment for the next two months and will continue to alternate treatments for two-month periods until study enrollment has completed.
The study is designed as a multicenter trial for the treatment of distal pediatric forearm fractures (=severely displaced distal metaphyseal forearm fractures) with a PLGA-based biodegradable intramedullary implant in children. The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate clinical outcome between Activa IM-Nail™ and K-wire in this indication. The secondary objective is to evaluate potential differences of potential complications in the operative method with either a biodegradable intramedullary PLGA-implant or with conventional K-wires. K-wire osteosynthesis will be made according to the conventional surgical technique by three paediatric trauma centers. Intramedullary PLGA implantation will be made by the Péterfy Hospital. The surgical indication will be the same in all groups, and follow-up will follow standard protocols. In the further clinical course, the patients in the study group treated with PLGA implants spare a subsequent operation for implant removal after 4-8 weeks. The results of different surgeries will be compared based on several criteria.
The fifth metatarsal is one of the bones where stress fractures can occur. Current literature provides support for both operative and non-operative treatment, but is mostly based on retrospective studies. One small randomized controlled trial reported faster recovery in the surgery group, but this study is probably subject to selection bias as well as underpowered design. There is a need to strengthen the knowledge base regarding treatment of stress fractures in the fifth metatarsal. This study seeks to answer whether osteosynthesis with an intramedullar screw fixation gives faster painfree weight bearing compared to non-operative treatment with a walking boot.
The Activa IM-Nail™ is used in the fixation of forearm fractures with cast to achieve a level of reduction and stabilisation that is appropriate to the age of the child. The post-market clinical follow-up study will be performed to identify the residual risk related to re-fracture and to determine its impact to the risk/benefit ratio of Activa IM-Nail™.
The aim of this project is to assess the effectiveness of the IlluminOss pelvic implants in patients with pelvic metastatic disease presenting with pain, risk of pathologic fracture, non-displaced or minimally displaced pathologic fracture of the pelvis, and geriatric patients with pelvic fragility fractures. Results from this study will be used to confirm preliminary clinically and possibly statistically significant reductions in pain and improvements in function among these patients.
This is a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the AGN1 LOEP SV Kit for the treatment of painful vertebral compression fragility fractures (VCFs). The objective of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the AGN1 LOEP SV Kit for the treatment of VCFs to standard of care vertebroplasty treatment using bipedicular injection of PMMA bone cement.
This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, European clinical study designed to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of the AGN1 LOEP SV Kit for the treatment of painful VCFs.
Distal radius fracture is the most common upper extremity fracture with peak incidence among older women after the fifth decade of life. Proprioception is one constituent of a complex Sensory motor control process. Proprioception requires the reception and central integration of incoming afferent signals. Although various sensory and motor deficits have been correlated with significant functional impairment after wrist trauma, limited research exists on the effects of proprioception and multi sensory training after distal radius fracture.
