Filter by:The assessment consists in comparing the osteosynthesis plate with minimally invasive technique versus open reduction and internal fixation. The aim of study is to compare (period of bandage, efficacy, safety), these two types of surgical technique by using a prospective, randomized analysis.
This is a study designed to see if a low dose of Lithium treatment, taken for 2 weeks, can improve fracture healing and improve patients' function and productivity.
This study aim to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of mandibular condylar fractures in pediatrics treated simply with a mandibular manipulation technique accompanied by mouth opening training.
This randomized, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the effectiveness of the adjunctive use of teriparatide for the healing of Jones fractures.
Hypothesis: Polycaprolactone / Tricalcium Phosphate Orbital (PCL / TCP) Implant is as effective in the reconstruction of the Orbital walls as Titanium Mesh implant. In this study we will be conducting a randomised trial to compare implants made of 2 materials for Orbital reconstruction - Polycaprolactone / Tricalcium Phosphate (PCL / TCP) - Titanium Patients to be recruited : - 80 randomised equally into the 2 groups - age range: 21 - 70 - includes orbital wall defects from trauma, after osteotomies - excludes patients with Diabetes Mellitus, known allergies to polycaprolactone & its analogues, know allergies to Tricalcium Phosphate & its analogues, infections generalised & around the orbital region Trial Duration: April 2010 - March 2015 Follow up: - postoperative 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months - Computer Tomographic (CT) scan of Orbits immediate postoperative and at 12 months appointment

The aim of this study is to compare a low versus high intensity physiotherapy early rehabilitation program combined with a low versus high dose vitamin D early rehabilitation program in a randomized controlled trial among elderly patients with acute hip fracture in an acute care setting. The primary outcome to be compared between treatment arms is the rate of falls during a 12-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes are injurious falls, number of persons who fell, low-trauma fractures (at the hip, forearm, humerus, pelvis, ankle, spine, femur, tibia), disability, quality of life (Euro-Qol), mortality and health care utilization. Another secondary outcome will be admission to nursing home compared between treatment arms among subjects, who are community-dwelling prior to the index hip fracture. Admission to nursing home is the marker of loss of independence for the individual, but also triggers high cost for the society. The study will provide new early rehabilitation guidelines to allocate health care resources efficiently in the acute care setting. Eventually and most importantly, the study will help improve outcomes in patients with hip fractures.
