Filter by:A randomized controlled trial to evaluate AGN1 to prevent secondary hip fractures in osteoporotic women undergoing treatment of index hip fractures. Up to 2400 subjects will be randomized between a treatment group and a control group. Subjects will be followed for a minimum of 5 years after undergoing hip fracture repair surgery.
Rib fractures continue to be a common occurrence in trauma patients of all ages. Traumatic rib fractures can cause severe pain in patients and lead to shallow breathing and further complications such as the need for mechanical ventilation, hospital or ventilator associated pneumonia, atelectasis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Effective multimodal pain management is needed to optimize a patient's respiratory status and can also play a role in early mobility, less pulmonary complications, shorter ICU and hospital length of stay, and decreased mortality. Current multimodal pain management options include opioids, muscle relaxants, gabapentin, acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and various regional/neuraxial anesthesia techniques. Both ketamine and lidocaine infusions for pain control have also been shown in studies to be safe and effective, with the benefit of minimizing the use of opioids. However, there have been very few studies that have used ketamine or lidocaine infusions for pain control specifically in patients with traumatic rib fractures. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate ketamine versus lidocaine infusions as an adjunctive therapy to reduce opioid consumption in the first 72 hours in patients with multiple traumatic rib fractures.
Intra-articular fractures of the mandibular condyle ((IAFC) are usually treated by means of physical therapy with or without transient maxillo-mandibular fixation (conservative or closed treatment). However, this can lead to incomplete manducatory function recovery due to limited mandibular mobility. During the last 15 years, a growing interest has emerged for open (surgical) treatment of these fractures. Although there is more and more evidence suggesting that the open treatment may be the treatment of choice for selected cases of subcondylar fractures, the best option remains controversial for high condylar fractures. The primary objective of the trial is to compare mandibular mobility at 3 months post-treatment between open (surgical) and closed (conservative) treatment of intra-articular fracture (high fracture) of the mandibular condyle. This study is an open multicenter randomized controlled trial with 2 parallel arms. Eligible patients will be randomized 1 :1 between open and closed-treatment group.
Prospective, low-level, non-commercial intervention, comparative clinical trial (phase IV) of balanced, randomized groups, to compare the analgesic efficacy of the local anesthetics Ropivacaine and Levobupivacaine in peripheral nerve block in hip fracture surgery in the elderly .
This study aimes to prove that osseointegration of hydroxyapatite coated stem is possible for patients over 80 years with femoral neck fracture, without the risks of cemented stems. The hydroxyapatite has a local effect which can improve cortical index.
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) characterizes a range of negative health and performance outcomes that result from chronically low energy availability. RED-S concerns high performance junior and senior athletes across Canada and has a prevalence rate of 3-60%. Our ability to assess and diagnose RED-S remains poor. Accordingly, we aim to create the best parameters to diagnose and manage RED-S; along with information of the prevalence and severity across Canada and globally. These outcomes are expected to have a significant positive impact on the health and performance of Canadian athletes in preparation for the Olympic Games in 2022 and beyond.
This is a prospective cohort study with a historical control group involving patients >=50 years-old with an acute (<3 weeks) Anderson & D'Alonzo type II dens fractures identified on cervical spine CT scan. This will be a pilot efficacy trial to compare treatment of odontoid fractures with 8 weeks of treatment with a parathyroid hormone analog (PTH) analog (abaloparatide) + hard collar immobilization in comparison to historical treatment with hard collar immobilization alone.
• To determine the effects of Fragility Fracture Integrated Rehabilitation Management approach in geriatric hip fracture patients (post surgical)
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Acetabular Shells when used with the Vivacit-E and Longevity HXLPE liners and instrumentation in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 3D-printed bone models in addition to CT imaging versus CT imaging alone on surgical quality and operation time for patients undergoing surgical repair of intra-articular fractures.
