Filter by:The purpose of this study is to identify the association between analgesic management with blockade of the iliac fascia versus intravenous analgesia with the presence of delirium during hospital stay in patients admitted to the orthogeriatric clinical care center, to determine the opioid consumption of both groups of patients during hospitalization and determine the risk factors that may be associated with a greater presentation of delirium.
The purpose of this study is to study the process of bone regeneration around a metal device in the femoral neck canal using a synthetic bone substitute Cerament bone void filler (BVF) and bisphosphonate (Zometa) locally or systemically that affects bone metabolism. Furthermore, fracture healing and implant migration will be investigated.
Hip fracture posed a major challenge to the health care system, with the one-year mortality of hip fracture reported as being approximately 20%. Perioperative haemoglobin level was associated with functional level of the patient and even mortality. Different methods for administration of tranexamic acid had been described. It was well established that systemic administration of tranexamic acid could reduce perioperative blood loss and transfusion rate. Topical administration had been shown to decrease blood loss and transfusion rate. The objective of our study is to investigate the hypothesis that tranexamic acid will reduce blood loss and transfusion rate in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
The aim of this observational study is to collect clinical and radiological results of the new Plasmafit® Revision Structan® Hip Endoprosthesis Cup in a standard patient population and when used in routine clinical practice.
This is a prospective randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase 2, three-month study of the efficacy of abaloparatide in postmenopausal women and men ≥ 50 years of age with acute fractures of the pelvis (n=78). The primary outcome is CT image based evidence of fracture healing. The secondary aims are pain and physical performance measures at 3 months. This study will be extended with 9 months of open label abaloparatide to determine if any potential differences between the placebo and abaloparatide groups during the 3 months of treatment are evident and persist over time, even in patients who use abaloparatide after the three-month placebo controlled intervention.
This is a retrospective and prospective, multi-center, non-comparative, post market clinical follow-up study involving orthopedic surgeons skilled in THA and experienced implanting the devices included in this study.
The overall design of the study is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized study in the geriatric hip fracture population comparing those who receive intravenous tranexamic acid prior to incision to those who receive a placebo.
The peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is a non-invasive, feasible measure of peripheral perfusion and, assumed, the overall circulation, which all patients are monitored by. This study is carried out to assess the association between values of PPI, haemoglobin and blood transfusion. Hypothetically, patients with low values of hb are more susceptible to a deteriorating circulation reflected in poorer PPI regardless of blood pressure and that resuscitation with blood products improves PPI measurements. Moreover, that patients with low values of PPI have more surgical complications and higher mortality.
The study is designed as a prospective, non-interventional multicentre cohort study. The product under Investigation will be used in Routine clinical practice and according to the authorized Instructions for Use (IfU). Aim of this observational study is to collect clinical and radiological results of the CoreHip® endoprosthesis system in a Standard Patient Population and when used in Routine clinical practice.
The prevention of infection is an important goal influencing peri-operative care of extremity fracture patients. Standard practice in the operative management of extremity fractures includes sterile technique and pre-operative skin preparation with an antiseptic solution. The available solutions kill bacteria and decrease the quantity of native skin flora, thereby decreasing surgical site infection (SSI). While there is extensive guidance on specific procedures for prophylactic antibiotic use and standards for sterile technique, the evidence regarding the choice of antiseptic skin preparation solution is very limited for extremity fracture surgery.
