Filter by:Objective: The investigators initiated a pilot clinical study to test safety and preliminary efficacy in humans (bone tissue repairing capacity) and to evaluate standard clinical and rehabilitation protocols. Summary Background Data: Bone tissue engineering scaffolds loading growth factors have been considered as the most perspective among all bone substitutes, yet little progress of its clinical translation has been made. The concept of "micro-scaffolds" was proposed in this study to provide a trajectory to its clinical translation. Methods: Pre-cured CPC/rhBMP-2 micro-scaffolds have been successfully developed and further applied as an easy-to-operate filler for bone regeneration in a pilot clinical study. Patients of tibial plateau fractures, proximal humeral fractures, or calcaneal fractures at a similar level of severity were randomly divided into two groups and treated by CPC/rhBMP-2 microffolds or traditional CPC paste (control group).
This single center, randomized control, double blind trial will prospectively examine the feasibility of intranasal, sub-dissociative (IN) ketamine versus intranasal fentanyl for pain control in the pediatric emergency department setting. The investigators hypothesize that IN ketamine may provide a safe and effective alternative to IN fentanyl for children with suspected, isolated extremity fractures. Eighty children ages 3-17 years with a suspected, isolated extremity fracture that requires analgesia will be randomized to receive IN ketamine or IN fentanyl upon presentation to the emergency department and will be followed for 2 hours for efficacy and 6 hours for safety.
Nonunion of long bones would occur in almost 10% of fractures and because of its long term and complicated treatment, is known as a therapeutic challenge for both of the surgeons and patients. Cell therapy is useful in treatment of nonunion and mesenchymal stromal/stem cells are the best candidates for this kind of treatment. Percutaneous implantation of autologous bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cell in combination with PL will be done in 30 patients with tibia nonunion. The other 30 patients as the control group will receive placebo. The patients will be followed at 2weeks, 3months, 6m and 12 months after implantation. The Spss(v16) software will be used for data analysis.
The purpose of this study is to validate the long-term benefit of denosumab for osteoporosis treatment in a real-world clinical practice setting. We hypothesize that continued therapy (36+months) with denosumab will increase both trabecular bone score (TBS) and femur strength index (FSI) and reduce fracture and other bone health risks among post-menopausal women with osteoporosis.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of novel compliant flooring in reducing injuries due to falls in a long-term care facility, determine the cost effectiveness of this intervention, and assess perceptions about compliant flooring among staff, residents, and families. The investigators hypothesize that compliant flooring will (1) reduce the incidence of injuries due to falls in long-term care residents; (2) represent an overall cost-savings when material and implementation costs are considered relative to direct and indirect costs associated with injuries due to falls; and (3) be received positively by staff, residents, and their family members.
The purpose of study is to verify that WOODCAST Circular system performs safely and effectively in its intended use.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Europe and Middle East. This trial investigates the efficacy and safety of three dose levels of Norditropin® (growth hormone) as compared to placebo in the treatment of tibia fractures. The trial will be conducted in two parts: in the first part, the patients will be evaluated with regard to efficacy (fracture healing) and safety at short time intervals until week 24 post-surgery. In the second part, long-term safety and fracture healing up to 12 months post-surgery will be evaluated.
