Filter by:Our aim is to develop a strategy that reduces the risk of dislocations after total hip arthroplasty surgery performed due to femoral neck fracture. We therefore perform a register-nested, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of dual mobility cups that were designed to minimize the risk of dislocation in the large and fragile group of elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.
Shortening of the abductor lever arm is a particular concern with the SHS, and the resultant biomechanical alterations impairs gait, including decreased cadence and increased double support time on the injured side. The use of a IM nail device may stop this shortening and improve functional parameters in this patient cohort
This study is a randomized control trial of Virtual Reality during cast removal procedures at a pediatric tertiary care center.
The scaphoid bone is the most common fractured carpal bone. Scaphoid fractures represent 2-6% of all fractures and occur mainly in young, active patients aged 15 to 40. The scaphoid bone has an essential role in functionality of the wrist, acting as a pivot. Correct treatment of a scaphoid fracture depends on accurate and timely diagnosis, and inadequate treatment can result in avascular necrosis (up to 40%), nonunion (5-21%) and early osteoarthritis (up to 32%) that may seriously impair wrist function. In addition, impaired consolidation of scaphoid fractures results in longer immobilization leading to significant functional and psychosocial impairment thus having considerable socio-economic consequences and negative impact on the quality of life. Current diagnostic pathways can take up to two weeks to diagnose (or exclude) a scaphoid fracture, leading to overtreatment in patients with a suspected scaphoid fracture since only 15 to 30% of suspected scaphoid fractures in the Netherlands annually is found to be an actual fracture. Thus, there is significant room for improvement in the diagnostic pathway of scaphoid fractures.
The purpose of this investigation is to compare functional outcome measures and range of motion for patients receiving glucocorticoid (GC) injections versus those not receiving GCs for the treatment of distal radius fractures. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive GC will have improved ROM and functional outcome measures compared to patients who do not receive GC. In addition, this study aims to determine if there is a difference in rates of complications and postoperative pain control between the GC and non-GC groups. In order to accomplish these aims, the investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized, controlled investigation.
This study will examine if there is a difference between the time to full union between the control group and the study group. Each group will be composed of patients who have an open fracture in the mid tibia. Both groups will undergo primary fixation via reamed intramedulary nailing (IMN), a common treatment for tibia shaft fractures in adults. The study group will have a bone graft applied to the open cortex of the fracture. The bone graft will be composed of the intramedullary reamings, which are a byproduct produced when the intramedullary canal is reamed in preparation for insertion of the IMN.
Approximately 300 patients presenting orbital blow-out fracture will be enrolled prospectively in this registry. All patients, surgically and nonsurgically treated as per standard (routine) of care will be followed-up (FU) within the registry for a period of 6 months.
a prospective, three- month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, intervention trial (RDBPC), investigating the effect of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) and vitamin D3 on the healing process of low-energy bone fractures in children and adolescents
The primary objective of this pilot trial is to assess the feasibility of a definitive trial to determine the effect of lateral patient positioning versus supine positioning with fracture table use for reamed antegrade intramedullary fixation of femur fractures.
The study described herein is being conducted to collect clinical data associated with diagnosis and treatment information using the VolumeRAD advanced application.
