Filter by:The goal of this interventional randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical outcomes in treating extremities pathological fractures (fractures of limbs caused by metastatic tumors) or impending pathological fractures with short or long intramedullary nails. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the rate of developing new distant metastasis of the operated extremities? 2. Does treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long intramedullary nails have lower or similar reoperation rate than the short nails? 3. Are there any differences when comparing the surgical-related complication, functional outcomes and life quality assessment between treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long or short intramedullary nails. Participants who meet surgical indication will be randomized into either the long or short intramedullary nail group after informed consent. The patient will receive bone fixation with the corresponding prosthesis.
Over the last months, the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute in Bologna, Italy, has drained orthopedic urgencies from all other hospitals in the urban and suburban area. In this context urgencies are defined as fractures and primary or metastatic bone lesions with indication to non-deferrable surgery. A subset of these patients tested positive for SARS CoV 2, either before or after the surgical procedure. Anesthesiological clinical management of covid19 cases is complicated by the consequences of the viral infection on respiratory and cardio-vascular systems, renal function and coagulation. Similarly, management of asymptomatic patients is challenging because of the lack of data on possible specific complications. This study will report a snapshot of our early experience on perioperative clinical management of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery in the presence of SARS CoV 2 infection, ascertained or not at the time of surgery.
This is a single center prospective study to compare the short term results of prosthesis, nail and plate-screw surgeries for metastatic pathologic fractures.
This multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled research study aims to objectively evaluate the role of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS), which combines the theory of acupuncture with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy, for the treatment of pain in patients with bone metastases from lung cancer.
This study will carry out a prospective cohort study to study the effect of different primary leison treatment modes on disease control, quality of life, economic cost and survival period of patients with bone metastases from breast cancer and lung cancer by giving radiotherapy or palliative surgery or not giving local treatment for the primary lesion in patients with bone metastases from breast cancer or lung cancer
This study will carry out a prospective randomized controlled study to study the effect of different local treatment on disease control, quality of life, economic cost and even survival period of patients by randomly giving local radiotherapy or observation to patients with newly diagnosed bone metastases or patients with bone metastases after vertebroplasty.
The goal of this clinical trial was to assess the diagnostic performance and safety of Sodium Fluoride F-18 Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (18F-NaF-PET/CT) in bone metastases of malignant tumors compared with Technetium[99mTc] Methylenediphosphonate Bone Scintigraphy ± Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (99mTc-MDP-BS±SPECT). The enrolled subjects were randomly assigned to two sequences A and B at a ratio of 1:1. Within 7 days, 18F-NaF-PET/CT and 99mTc-MDP-BS±SPECT bone imaging were performed alternately. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of 18F-NaF-PET/CT and 99mTc-MDP-BS±SPECT were calculated respectively based on the diagnostic data of standard of truth.
The study aims to compare the diagnostic performance of planar bone scan and two bed SPECT/CT in detection of bone metastases in patients with urogenital cancer.
Improving the effectiveness of cancer treatments makes it possible to lengthen patient survival. It is therefore important to ensure that the quality of life is also maintained by reducing pain and handicap. Some cancers tend to spread to the bone. The bone locations of cancer can weaken the bone and lead to complications such as fractures, pain, or compression of neurological structures. To avoid such complications, weekly multidisciplinary meetings (MM) bring together specialists (oncologists, rheumatologists, cancer surgeons, radiologists, radiotherapists, etc.) to discuss the files of patients with bone lesions from cancer. They offer specific treatments adapted to each patient to treat or reduce the risk of complications. The OOSLOH study aims to collect clinical, biological, and imaging data from patients for whom a discussion took place in bone dedicated MM. Based on these data, epidemiological studies could be carried out to better understand the clinical factors leading cancer to colonize bone. But also to determine the factors making it possible to prevent or better treat bone complications and improve the quality of life of patients. This study does not require any examinations or additional visits to the patient
Using sensitive markers (such as thyroglobulin, etc) to evaluate the efficacy of strontium-89 chloride (Sr-89) in differentiated thyroid cancer with bone metastases with an aim to breaking out of its palliation effect for bone pain.
