Filter by:To verify whether X-ray combined with MRI is able to carry out correct fracture classification and postoperative evaluation in patients with ankle fractures.
Treatment of syndesmotic injury with Weber C fracture. A randomized study comparing ZipTight suture endobutton and one tricortical 3,5 mm syndesmotic screw.
The objective of this trial is to demonstrate that the functional outcome of 'removal on demand' of the syndesmotic screw is non-inferior compared to routine removal of the syndesmotic screw in patients with an ankle fracture.
Purpose: To report the immediate and prolonged (one week) effects of elastic bandage on balance control in subjects with chronic ankle instability. Material and methods: Twenty-eight individuals successfully completed the study protocol, of whom 14 were randomly assigned to the elastic bandage group (7 men, 7 women) and 14 were assigned to the non-standardized tape group ( 9 men, 5 women). To objectively measure postural sway we used computerized dynamic posturography with Sensory Organization Test and Unilateral Stance test. We analyzed the following Sensory Organization Test parameters: the composite Sensory Organization Test score, the composite Sensory Organization Test strategy and the Sensory Organization Test condition 2 and its strategy. In addition, we studied the centre of gravity sway velocity with open eyes and close eyes during the US test.
This research is being done to compare two different saphenous nerve block locations and will help to determine which site best maintains knee strength and pain control.
Lateral ankle sprains are one of the most common in sports medicine. Considering the sprains in general, they represent an 85% of the ankle lesions. The incidence in high performance athletes range from 16 to 21%. It is estimated that 10,000 to 25,000 peoples suffers a lateral ankle sprain per hour in the United States. The objective of the treatment is to normalize the articular function and allow the patient to return to his or her normal physical activities. Platelet rich plasma is a simple of autologous blood with concentrations of platelets above baseline values. This is rich in platelet derived growth factor which stimulates cell replication, angiogenesis, transforming growth factor B1, fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, and insulin like growth factor. The risks of its applications are minimal and are usually involved with allergic reactions to other medications that are applied in combination with the platelet-rich plasma. To establish that the use of platelet rich plasma and immobilization with a short leg cast in acute lateral ankle sprains will enhance an early recovery in comparison with just immobilization with the cast.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects of the LED (627 +/- 10 nm) with respect to the localized pain and local swelling of ankle sprains in the initial phase.
The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of ketoprofen gel in patients presented with ankle sprain to the emergency department.
To demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of a generic diclofenac epolamine patch against Flector patch in the treatment of pain in subjects with minor ankle sprain
The device to be tested (fireflyTM) stimulates the common peroneal nerve and causes the foot to twitch, and has been shown to increase blood flow. The device is also indicated for the treatment of oedema. In this study the investigators intend to assess the use of the device as an adjunctive therapy for people recovering from grade 1 and 2 ankle sprains.
