Filter by:The objective of this single site, randomized controlled trial is to assess and compare radiographic and clinical outcomes in patients who are to undergo lumbar interbody fusion procedures (TLIF), supplemented with pedicle screw instrumentation, using one of the following interventions: 1. Porous titanium cages 2. Non-porous titanium-coated poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) cages.
The study population concerns adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis which requires surgical management and who have a longer waiting period of 6 months. The aim of this study is to research the predictive factors of an improvement in the quality of life of adolescents who have had surgery.
Several deformities of the spine exist such as the anterior imbalance. These deformities can generate functional discomfort and limit the patient's quality of life. In the event of severe trunk imbalance and progression of the deformity, operative correction of the spinal deformity by instrumentation and posterior arthrodesis may be indicated. Surgical techniques and instrumentation have evolved over the past 5 years. These changes in surgical strategies have a potential impact on the patient's quality of life and the correction results in the medium and long term. the aim of the study is to analyze the surgical corrections obtained by transpedicular osteotomy and radiological changes over time with classic 2-rod techniques versus modern 4-rod instrumentation techniques
This study reviews if taking ketorolac, after a joint fusion procedure, can decrease the need for taking oxycodone (standard of care) for pain relief. The study also investigates if ketorolac affects bone healing after surgery.
The aim of the proposed study is to define the optimal treatment for Lisfranc fracture-dislocation, either primary arthrodesis (PA) or open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), regarding the quality of life, complications, functional outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. The investigators hypothesize that patients will have a better quality of life and fewer complications during follow-up when undergoing a PA for unstable fracture-dislocations in the Lisfranc midfoot joints compared to ORIF. Further, the investigators expect this approach to be more cost-effective than the operative stabilization with retaining the dislocated joints, as patients will be exposed to a reduced number of reinterventions and hospital stay and/or prolonged use of pain medication.
