Filter by:The study investigates the effect of a ultrasound-guided subsartorial saphenous block on postoperative pain following major ankle and hind foot surgery.
The purpose is to find out the effect of Skanlab at knee arthrosis.
Airtraq sp has been proven effective for intubating patients presenting with difficult airway. The Airtraq sp allows visualisation of the tracheal inlet only for the intubator. By adding a smartphone with a dedicated app (Airtraq Mobile) to the Airtraq sp, the visualisation of the tracheal inlet is possible for all the airway providers. The investigators aim to demonstrate that the addition of the Airtraq Mobile app improves success rate of intubation (primary endpoint), as well as confort of the airway provider, shortens time for intubation and reduces injury to the patients.
This surgery involves the use of a finger joint replacement device for treatment of patients with certain kinds of arthritis (osteo - arthritis or post traumatic arthritis) and who expect to place their hands in heavy loading situations, or patients needing revision of a failed implant placed in the PIP joint. A joint replacement surgery is an operation where the arthritic joint is removed and a metal and plastic joint is inserted to replace the natural joint. The surgery is expected to last about 2 hours. The procedure is done in the operating room and requires general anesthesia or an axillary block. (General anesthesia affects the entire body and is accompanied by a loss of consciousness. An axillary block results in anesthesia of the hand and forearm only. A tourniquet is applied to the arm to prevent bleeding during the surgery.)
The purpose of this study is to describe changes in vitamin D parameters before, during and after a well-defined elective surgical trauma (knee arthroplasty) and to compare these changes to other steroid hormones (testosterone and oestrogens). The hypothesis is that profound changes in free and total vitamin D will occur as a result of changes between intravascular vs extravascular protein compartments during surgical trauma.
This clinical trial investigated two different routes of administration of tranexamic acid in total knee arthroplasty: topical compared to intravenous.
1. Introduction Few gait analytical data are available concerning the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA). All the studies have focused on immediate post-operative recovery. These studies have in general some important shortcomings in order to accurately evaluate the biomechanics of the replaced hip joint. None of the published reports have reported on consecutive intervals of pre-op - 6w - 3m - 6m - 12m. This is of interest as we know that recovery with other approaches takes >1 year. It might be that the DAA approach leads to normal gait patterns at 3m or 6m and that these patterns do not differ from the normal pattern or at >1y post-op. None of the reports utilized out-of-plane movements such as coming down or up stairs or squads. Utilizing trunk markers is frequently not done but it is important to evaluate the centre of mass position during gait. Very few studies utilize kinetic data, which are important in order to thoroughly evaluate the biomechanics and loading of the hip. And maybe most importantly, the biomechanical effect of the diameter of the articulating surface on gait parameters following the DAA has never been evaluated. One of the most important advantages of the DAA is the muscle sparing aspect and the presumption that the femoral anatomy and biomechanics can be more accurately and precisely restored. If the diameter of the articulating surface has then also been reconstructed to the almost anatomical diameter, we can assume that this should be the most optimal reconstruction of the hip joint currently available. This could lead to early return to normal gait, to optimal joint loading and a minimal amount of stress shielding of the femoral bone. The aim of this project is to prospectively analyse the biomechanics of the hip joint of a THA with a Deltamotion articulating surface utilizing the Direct Anterior Approach. 2. Materials and Methods Hypothesis: The temporo-spatial parameters (velocity, cadence, step length, and stride length) and gait kinematic and kinetic data (external hip and knee muscle moments) are not significantly different between the study and control group at the evaluated time intervals indicating normal or near normal gait patterns in the early post-operative recovery phase.
Malnutrition of elder orthopaedic patients leads to weight loss and loss of fat free mass. Changes in the individual’s nutritional status and body composition may adversely affect the patient’s postoperative level of activity. Aim. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to report changes in postoperative weight, FFM and functions vital to daily living in a group of elder orthopaedic patients that were actively involved in their nutritional care during the hospital stay.
