Filter by:Summary: Pain control after hip surgery is quite important for patients' recovery. Many regional techniques are available with the focus on motor sparing block to speed patient recovery. The investigators will compare pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in addition to local skin infiltration to PENG block alone. The study population will be included for patient traumatic hip surgery. The study population will be divided into group. First group will receive PENG block and local anaesthetics infiltration and second group will receive PENG block. Our primary outcome is to compare numeric rating scale (NRS) between studied groups, and morphine requirements in the first 24 hours as a secondary outcome.
Lateral compression-1 (LC1) pelvic ring fragility fractures cause significant pain and morbidity. These fragility injuries are associated with prolonged immobility and long hospital stays. Currently there is no consensus on operative stabilization of LC1 pelvic fractures, nor are there evidence-based guidelines to aid in management of these injury types. Furthermore, there is variability in operative indications, improvement in pain and mobilization. The purpose of this study is to compare percutaneous transiliac - transsacral screw fixation to non-operative management in symptomatic LC1 fragility fractures in elderly patients.
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs; such as alendronate and zoledronate) are commonly used in the treatment of osteoporosis and fracture prevention, in which zoledronate has a proven better efficacy than alendronate. In 2018, our real-world propensity score matched study showed that the use of N-BPs was significantly associated with reduced risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in hip fracture patients. In addition to cardiovascular diseases, both preclinical study and sensitivity analysis also suggest evidence for N-BPs in pneumonia prevention. Moreover, a pragmatic clinical trial is developed to evaluate effect of the tested intervention in real-life routine clinical practice since traditional explanatory radomised controlled trial (RCT) may have poor generalizability due to highly selected patients and controlled environments. This study aims to evaluate if zoledronate reduces risk of pneumonia in hip fracture patients using pragmatic clinical trial approach. This is an open-label, multi-centre, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial. Patients will be recruited from 4 hospitals, namely Caritas Medical Centre, Prince of Wales Hospital, Queen Mary Hospital, and United Christian Hospital. Age, sex, body mass index, eGFR, history of fracture, chronic respiratory diseases, and other medical history, will be measured and recorded at recruitment.
Fractures in and around the hip are common in the elderly and most of them required early surgical fixation. Hip fractures are accompanied with a considerable amount of pain. Based on National Orthopaedic Registry Malaysia (NORM), spinal/neuraxial anaesthesia makes up 66.3%, is the preferred mode of anaesthesia. Severe pain associated with fractured hip often results in difficulty during positioning for neuraxial anaesthesia and hence it is extremely challenging to position the patients in sitting or lateral position for neuraxial anaesthesia procedures. A supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB), a 3 in 1 block involving femoral nerve , lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and obturator nerve. It is famous technique among anaesthesiologist to treat immediate and postoperative pain in hip fractures patients. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is an ultrasound-guided approach, first described by Giron-Arango et al. in 2018 for the blockade of the articular branches of the femoral, obturator and accessory obturator nerves that provide sensory innervation to the anterior hip capsule. It is an alternative regional anaesthesia technique for the management of acute pain after hip fracture. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of (PENG) block vs (S-FICB) block in reducing positional pain during neuraxial block in patients going for elective internal fixation of neck of femur fractures. And investigators's hypothesis is PENG block is as effective as S-FICB in reducing positional pain during neuraxial block in patients going for elective internal fixation of neck of femur fractures.
This project aims to improve the global outcome for an aging individual after a traumatic fall, through identifying conditions contributing to a fall and promoting recovery and rehabilitation. Through better understanding 'falling phenotype', the ultimate aim is to prevent future complications, as well as new falls and fractures in the growing older population.
This PMCF study is designed to collect safety and efficacy data on hip hemiarthroplasty surgeries with Corin BiPolar-i shell and the Oceane+ or Meije Duo femoral stem up to 10 years.
Hip fracture (HF) is one of the major worldwide problems that constitute a significant mortality rate, ranging from 14- 36% in the first year after injury, and is associated with profound temporary and sometimes permanent impairment of independence and quality of life in the geriatric population. Surgical treatment is considered the best option for patients with hip fractures,s especially in the elderly, however, it is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. Pain is one of the main factors limiting ambulation, increasing the risk of thromboembolism by immobility and causing metabolic changes that affect other systems. Therefore, individualized pain management with the use of appropriate analgesic techniques is of paramount importance. Moreover, early intervention of rehabilitation aiming at a better postoperative recovery may reduce the length of hospital stay and return to daily. Effective pain management is one of the crucial components in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). • Numerous regional anesthetic techniques have been used to provide analgesia following hip fracture surgery, including intrathecal morphine, epidural analgesia, fascia iliaca block, lumber plexus block, and sacral plexus block, however, each of these techniques has specific limitations that prevent them from being the analgesic technique of choice for hip fracture surgery. To our knowledge, there is no study done to compare circum-psoas block versus the combined lumbar and sacral plexus blocks as pre-emptive analgesia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia.
Prospective, single arm, post-market evaluation to evaluate the use and performance of the IM Implant in a post market setting.
In February 2021, Altior Trauma Innovations™ announced that it had received 501(k) FDA approval for the Artemis Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) System for internal fixation of intertrochanteric femur fractures. The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate safety, efficacy and feasibility of the Artemis PFN implant for operative fixation of intertrochanteric femoral fractures, compared to matched historical control patients who received other implants.
Aim: To compare the effect of one single dose versus multiple doses of prophylactic antibiotics administered within 24 hours, on the development of PJI after surgery in patients undergoing primary THA due to an acute fracture or sequelae of proximal femoral or acetabular fractures. The study is designed as a cross-over, cluster randomized, non-inferiority trial. All Danish orthopedic surgery departments performing primary THA with the majority being within inclusion criteria will be involved: Based on national quality databases, two-year cohorts of approximately 2,000 primary THAs due to a fracture or sequelae to a fracture, conducted at all public and private orthopedic departments in Denmark, this includes 36 sites corresponding to a total of 39 departments.
