Filter by:Operative treatment, with tension band wiring or plate fixation, will be compared with non-operative treatment of displaced olecranon fractures (Mayo classification 2A and 2B) in patients 75 years or older.
The forearm is the most common fracture location in children, with an increasing incidence. Displaced forearm shaft fractures have traditionally been treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization. Diaphyseal fractures in children have poor remodeling capacity, and malunion can thus cause permanent cosmetic and functional disability. Internal fixation especially with flexible intramedullary nails has gained increasing popularity, without evidence of a better outcome compared to closed reduction and cast immobilization.
This study supports Spanish data collection and analysis on Periprosthetic and Peri-implant fractures of the upper and lower limb. Treatment and clinical management of this fractures are complex and goes along with complications. There will be more than 70 hospitals providing information. This study will provide evidence on which is the best treatment for every unique patient. This will help trauma surgeons and geriatricians to provide better treatments, to improve health care in our society, reducing mortality, morbidity, improving functional outcomes, and reducing costs, which in turn will be advances in trauma care.
Retrospective cohort study comparing the early prognosis after surgically-treated proximal femur fragility fractures in patients affected and not affected by COVID-19.
Fractures of the upper part of the femur may be treated with intramedullary nails. There are different designs to choose from. The intention of this RCT is to compare two nails with some of the same properties, but with different lengths. Usually, it is the surgeon who decides which nail to be used. The literature indicates that there is a lack of good evidence in the decision-making, and that the choice often depends on personal preferences and experience of the surgeon. Therefore, the investigators want to compare whether one of the nails has a better outcome than the other, and in that way be able to give some clearer guidelines for treatment. Patients will be randomized into two groups, one receiving a long nail and one receiving an extended-short nail and compare surgical and functional outcomes. Information from the operation and subsequent check-ups will be analysed. The hypothesis is that the extended-short nail can reduce operating time, bleeding, fluoroscopy time and give equal or better functional outcome, without increasing reoperation rates or mortality.
Randomly assign patients with fractures of the proximal humerus to conservative treatment to a group in which a control radiological study will be carried out after a week of evolution of the fracture and to another group in which this control radiology will not be carried out. In the evolutionary controls, it will be determined whether there are differences between the two groups in the final functional result, in the perception of quality of life, and in the number of complications derived from the fracture.
This study compares the clinical outcomes of treating pediatric Type 1 supracondylar fracture with a long arm soft cast and no clinical or radiographic follow-up versus the standard treatment in a long arm cast with clinical follow-up. This is the first multicenter randomized control trial looking at the clinical effectiveness, safety and parental satisfaction of managing inherently stable Type I supracondylar fractures without clinical or radiological follow-up. If found to be safe; children can be managed effectively without in-person follow-up, freeing clinic appointments to children on the waiting list and in these COVID times avoiding unnecessary contacts.
The objective of the present study is to assess whether specific cognitive intervention will influence rehabilitation outcomes of post-acute hip fracture patients.
The purpose of this study is to understand the trajectory of function and self-reported outcomes of patients following pelvic and acetabular, treated both operatively and nonoperatively.
There is no study evaluating the clinical effect of traditional chinese medicine(TCM) in topical use on musculotendinous injury, nor is that investigating the effectiveness on bone fracture healing. We hypothesize that with aid of topical chinese herbal medicine in addition to oral analgesics can be more beneficial in treating post traumatic injury, launching early mobilization, and enhancing fracture healing process.
