Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of an arm cycle ergometer training in subjects with proximal femur fracture surgically treated. The secondary purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to verify whether the addition of aerobic activity can increase motor performance compared to a conventional exercise program in which no aerobic activity is foreseen.
This study evaluates the effect of EXPAREL on total opioid consumption through 72 hours following fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in subjects undergoing repair of intertrochanteric hip fracture.
This is a prospective case series of elderly adult patients sustaining pertrochanteric fractures who will be treated by a proximal femoral nail with a non-helical (straight) blade. This study seeks to observe and evaluate the outcomes, advantages and complication rates in using the HERACLES PFN with a non-helical (T-shaped parallel) blade.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of internal fixation or arthroplasty for hip fracture patients over 75 years of age with multiple medical complications through the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, time to start weight bearing activities and other indicators.
This trial explores the application of different hip replacement materials in elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fracture, and aims to provide the experience and basis for hip arthroplasty in elderly osteoporosis patients with unstable intertrochanteric fracture.
Intertrochanteric hip fractures typically result in blood loss from the fracture and require surgery that can cause further blood loss. This study is being done to look at a medication called tranexamic acid which may reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusions associated with surgery.
Trochanteric fractures represent about half of the hip fractures (with femoral neck fractures as the other half). Trochanteric hip fractures are almost always treated surgically with internal fixation of the fracture. However there is a debate ongoing for what is the appropriate implant to use. For stable fracture patterns the evidence seems to be in favor of the sliding hip screw, but for the unstable fractures it is more unclear whether to use a intramedullary nail or sliding hip screw with or without a lateral support plate (TSP). The role of the TSP in clinical use remains unclear and very little has been published about this, but it is believed to be an important contributor of stability to the sliding hip screw construct. We are planning a randomized controlled trial on trochanteric hip fractures to establish a method for implanting the tantalum markers, to observe the fracture healing process and to further investigate the role of the TSP.
The purpose of this study is determine the relationship between pain and protrusion of the implant after surgery for a intertrochanteric fracture.
