Filter by:The hypothesis of this study is that the Rim Plate method utilizing interfragmentary screws placed through the plate will result in superior fixation, a lower rate of loss of reduction of the fracture fragment, better anatomic healing of the articular (joint) surface, a decreased rate of early post-traumatic arthritic changes of the joint (cartilage) surface, and improved functional outcomes.
The primary objective of this study is to validate the feasibility of a remote patient monitoring (RPM) system using Mobile App in terms of the frequency of data interruptions and patient acceptance. The secondary objective is to Improve quality of life and early prediction of the complications.
Acetabular roof was a crucial structure for maintaining the stability of hip joint; however, its important role was not especially emphasized in the Letournel-Judet classification system. Acetabular roof was segmented into the roof column and roof wall in Three-column classification and fracture in this area alone was defined as A3 injury. Radiographic data and functional outcome of A3 injury patients were reviewed to explore the characteristics and surgical strategy.
The aim of the program is to develop technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and consequences of the pelvis. Purpose: to improve the technique of surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.
Prospective, single arm, post-market evaluation to evaluate the use and performance of the IM Implant in a post market setting.
Acetabular fractures are complex, relatively rare lesions that are difficult to manage. Given the surgical challenge they represent, they are often managed by expert centers. The overall incidence of these fractures is around 3 fractures/100,000 persons/year. It is now well established that the quality of the reduction obtained is an important predictive factor of the postoperative outcome in patients with displaced acetabular fractures. Obtaining an anatomical reduction, at least satisfactory, is not always easy, even in trained teams. Indeed, it can be difficult because of the structural environment. This is due to the proximity of the acetabulum to the vasculo-nervous elements, but also to the complexity of the fracture itself. The contribution of new technologies appear to be important tools to achieve this objective. Indeed, investigators have demonstrated that the use of the O-ARM imaging system (Medtronic®, Sofamor, Memphis, TN) allowed the improvement of their results. Although they occur more frequently in the elderly population, the average incidence is maintained in the 20-59 age group. In these young populations, the fracture occurs most frequently as a result of a high-energy mechanism (road accident, more exceptionally, during a sporting activity). These patients, in the prime of their lives, are often athletic. The desire to resume sports after surgery is a powerful motivating factor for these patients. Often, it is the primary measure of surgical success from the athlete's perspective. In a previous work, Giannoudis et al. reported a 42% rate of return to activity at the previous level. The quality of the surgery is associated with the possibility of resuming sports activity after the procedure. Thus, the objective of this work is to determine the results of acetabular surgery in a population of previously athletic patients, in particular the return to athletic performance.
The mechanism of maintaining balance is a complex phenomenon, involving numerous systems of human body. High-energy trauma resulting in acetabular fracture damages some of the elements composing this delicate mechanism, potentially increasing the risk of falls in patients. There have not been any studies so far on balance levels in patients after surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. Questions/purposes 1. Do balance disorders occur in patients after ORIF of acetabular fractures? 2. Do surgical approach and fracture pattern influence balance level of patients? 3. Should therapy programs include certain stabilometric parameters adequate especially for this type of injury?
One complication that can occur after surgery on the acetabulum is the development of bone in abnormal places such as muscle and soft tissues. There is some evidence that a single dose of radiation to the surgical site within 3 days of surgery will prevent this abnormal bone from forming. However, there are no high quality studies proving that radiation works any better than doing nothing at all. The purpose of our study is to determine whether there is a difference in abnormal bone formation after acetabular surgery when patients are treated with external beam irradiation versus no treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with operatively treated acetabular fractures benefit from early weight-bearing as tolerated. The study compares two groups ( n = 25 each), which are randomised into either weight-bearing as tolerated or touch-down weight-bearing for 6-8 weeks postoperatively. Both study groups are stratified according to - Type of fracture (anterior approach vs anterior + additional posterior approach) - Dislocated dome vs non-dislocated/ non existing separate dome fragment Patients, who are eligible to participate in the trial but choose not to participate in randomisation are asked to enrol in a prospective cohort follow-up cohort. This is to examine a potential participation bias in the RCT groups. These patients will not be counted into the target amount of 50 RCT patients.
The study will evaluate ultrasound guided SEQ block: single puncture combined lumbar erector spinae plane block and paraspinous sagittal shift (PSSS) quadratus lumborum block when compared with conventional intravenous morphine analgesia in patients undergoing posterior column acetabular fracture surgery
