Filter by:Prospective patient registry examining the outcome of three different treatment methods for proximal humerus fractures in elderlies: conservative treatment, open and minimal invasive surgical treatment.
This double-blind, randomized controlled clinical study aims to evaluate the effects of PBM on the functional recovery of participants with surgically treated PHF using special locking plates. The 42 participants will be randomized (1:1) into two groups: the Control group (standard physical therapy combined with simulated PBM) and the PBM group (standard physical therapy combined with active PBM). Participants will apply PBM at home daily for 10 minutes using a device containing 318 light-emitting diodes (LEDs), with 159 LEDs at 660 nm (28.5 mW; 12 J/cm2; 17 J per LED) and 159 LEDs at 850 nm (23 mW; 10 J/cm2; 14 J per LED). PBM and physical therapy sessions (30 minutes, twice a week) will be conducted over 12 weeks. Participants will be unaware of their group allocation and will be assessed at 24 hours, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery by four examiners who are also blinded to each participant's allocation. The primary outcome, assessed at all time points, will be shoulder function recovery using the Quick-DASH functional scale. Secondary outcomes will include shoulder range of motion assessments with a digital goniometer, quality of life using the SF-6 questionnaire, and the occurrence of adverse effects at all time points. Spontaneous pain, pressure pain (measured with a dolorimeter), nighttime pain, and analgesic use will be evaluated at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Fracture consolidation will be assessed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks through radiographic examinations, and muscle strength will be evaluated by progressive dumbbell support at 8 and 12 weeks. In addition to the scheduled assessments, participants will be contacted daily by phone.
Analgesic drug study that will compare pain outcomes of opioid analgesia and opioid-free analgesia in post-operative orthopedic patients.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques on functional status, pain, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, quality of life, and patient satisfaction in people with Proximal Humerus Fracture. There will be two groups, PNF and conservative treatment, and the program will consist of 6 weeks. Patients will randomly be assigned to the conservative treatment group and the PNF group. Patients in the conservative group will deliver shoulder muscle static stretching, active-assistive ROM exercises, scapular mobilization, posterior capsule stretching, and isometric strengthening for 3 weeks. Between 3-6 weeks these exercises will progress and shoulder muscles strengthening via Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and active ROM exercises will add to the program. Patients in the PNF group will deliver PNF stretching, active-assistive ROM exercises, PNF scapular patterns mobilization, posterior capsule stretching, and isometric strengthening for 3 weeks. Between 3-6 weeks PNF stretching and scapular mobilization exercises will progress and PNF strengthening and active ROM exercises will add to the program.
The study is a monocentric, retrospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the XtraFix® Small External Fixation System (implants and instrumentation) when used to treat long bone fractures. The primary objective is the assessment of performance by analyzing fracture healing. The secondary objectives are the assessment of safety by recording and analyzing the incidence and frequency of complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified. Subjects' outcomes will also be assessed.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about long term outcomes in Supracondylar Humeral Fracture in children after surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - how good is the elbow function - what are the post-operative complication - what is the time before return to sport - what is the aesthetic prejudice of the scar for the patient Participants will answer questionnaries and send photographs of their elbows to the examinator
This study aims to determine if removing supracondylar pins immediately following cast removal and prior to X-ray decreases patient and parent/guardian anxiety compared to pin removal following cast removal and X-ray. The research team hypothesizes that patient anxiety response will be lower when pins are removed immediately following cast removal compared to our current standard of care. Secondarily, this study will determine if there is an association between patient anxiety response and their parent's/guardian's anxiety.
Complex fractures of the proximal humerus in elderly patients constitute a growing problem. Osteoporosis linked to these fractures prevents osteosynthesis correctly, so that if the offset between the fragments is large, it is necessary to implant a prosthesis. Inverted prostheses, normally used for the treatment of osteoarthritis with absence of the rotator cuff, have become the treatment of choice in these fractures obtaining very favorable results. Traditionally, once the prosthesis is implanted, they are sutured the tuberosities with the rotator cuff tendons to the prosthesis. This gesture is supposed to will improve patient function. However, this prosthesis was originally designed for use in patients without a rotator cuff, so the need for this suture, which lengthens surgical time and requires an increase in the number of sutures, which can potentially increase the risk of infection. With the results of this study, it would be possible to reduce the surgical time, the number of inert materials implanted, and potentially the risk of infection.
Lateral condyle fracture of the distal humerus is the second most common injury around the elbow and accounts for 20% of all the elbow fractures in children.The average age for the fracture involving the lateral condyle is around six years. There are different treatment options of the lateral condyle fractures include - non-operative management with plaster cast immobilization for undisplaced or minimally displaced fractures. - Whereas the fractures displaced >2 mm need operative management. The objective of treatment in the displaced fracture is to obtain and maintain the articular congruity. In the operative management, the reduction technique includes open or closed methods.
