Filter by:This study is to analyse risk factors for wound complications or surgical site infections and to analyse whether risk factors for wound complications or surgical site infections are also factors for other complications. Based on the data from this study it will be investigated whether a risk score can be build up to predict individual risk for a complication after surgery.
In this prospective study, all patients with distal fibula fractures (AO 44 B1.1, B1.2, B1.3), with indication for surgery were included. Patients were randomized to either the DePuy Synthes® one-third semitubular plate (Group I) or NEWCLIP TECHNICS, Active Ankle® polyaxial locking plate (Group II). In Group II early weight bearing was allowed after two weeks postoperatively. Primary outcome parameter was function of the ankle joint, assessed by the Olerud and Molander ankle score (OMAS), Foot and Ankle outcome score (FAOS) and Karlsson and Peterson Scoring System for Ankle function (KPSS). Secondary outcome parameter were postoperative complications. Superficial wound infection, delayed wound healing, mechanically prominent implant, skin irritations were considered as minor and deep wound infection, material loosening, loss of reduction were regarded as major complications requiring revision surgery. Clinical and radiological follow-up were performed 6 and 12 weeks, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively.
Randomised Controlled Trial to Compare the Efficacy of Fibular Nail Fixation vs Plate Fixation in Ankle Fracture Management
This is a prospective randomized study conducted on 30 patients with an age spanning between 20 and 55 years. Half of the sample was treated by tension band wiring for closed medial malleolar fractures, and the other half by two cannulated screws. The patients were assessed at (6w-3months and 6months) for clinical and radiological union and evaluated functionally (12 months) using modified Olerund and Molander scoring system.
The aim of the herein presented double-blinded is to compare the effectiveness of the high foot block against placebo infiltration in simple, uni- and bimalleolar ankle fractures. Included will be all adult patients (>18a) treated surgically at our department. The standard peri-operative procedure at our clinic will no be altered but the additional high ankle block. The intraoperative opioid requirement, the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS) and the postoperative opioid requirement will be assessed and compared between the two groups
Background and Purpose: Ankle fractures represent one of the most common fractures in North America. Surgical fixation is often required in the presence of dislocation or instability and has been shown to have a high rate of success. Following surgical fixation, physical therapy is commonly utilized to assist in regaining function. Advice alone has been shown to be non-inferior to traditional physical therapy for patients post-ankle fracture in two studies. The results of these studies have yet to be repeated in the US. It is the intent of this study to investigate the feasibility of a large clinical trial comparing the results of traditional physical therapy and an internet-based telerehabilitation program. Following surgical repair of ankle fractures, patients will be randomized to traditional rehabilitation or telerehabilitation. Telerehabilitation may represent an alternative patient option to traditional physical therapy following ankle fracture repair. The results of this study will inform the design of larger multi-site clinical trials investigating the effectiveness of telerehabilitation for this patient population.
The study will compare the functions outcomes between two different rehabilitation protocol after operated weber b ankle fractures
Evaluating impact of use of Even-Up shoe wear device for patients treated in CAM boot walker for an ankle fracture. Randomized controlled trial, randomizing patients into control group with boot treatment only versus boot treatment with Even-Up device on contralateral extremity.
Deep vein Thrombosis (Deep Venous Thrombosis, DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism, Pulmonary Embolism, PE) both collectively known as Venous thromboembolism (VTE) (Venous Thrombus Embolism, VTE), is a common clinical disease, and tremendous harmful. Ankle fractures in patients requiring long-term bed braking, increase the incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, anticoagulant therapy as an important measures to prevent thrombosis in clinical widely accepted, however, the literature anticoagulation effect incision healing. Whether to strike a balance between the two, to develop a foot fracture in accordance with the Chinese characteristics of anticoagulant solution is we try to solve the problem. The purpose of this study is aimed at the use of oral anticoagulants and physical anticoagulant treatment knee far foot fracture patients randomized controlled studies in China.
Prospective data will be collected in approximately 3500 patients (700 per 5 injury groups). Patients will be followed up according to the standard (routine) for up to 1 year after the treatment. Data collection will include underlying disease, treatment details, patient reported outcomes (PROs), anticipated or procedure-related adverse events (i.e. complications), and radiological outcomes.
