Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess safety and general performance of total hip arthroplasty, composed of a Meije Duo® femoral stem associated with a Dynacup® cup, and using the friction pair Biolox® Delta Ceramic.
Shoulder anterior dislocation is a major disease entity in emergency department. There are more than 10 reduction methods that have been reported. Traditional reduction methods require sedatives, which could cause adverse effects on the patients such as respiratory suppression and allergy. There are some reduction maneuvers reported recently which do not need sedatives prior to performing reduction, including FARES method and SPASO method. So far, there are no well-designed study to compare these two methods. Besides, in clinical experience, we found that combining these two methods could even get higher successful reduction rate. This study is aimed to compare these two methods as a prospective randomized design, and furthermore, to show that combining these two methods could get higher successful reduction rate.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the Internal Joint Stabilizer - Elbow.
There are many surgical methods available for the treatment of patients with acromioclavicular dislocations. No single method has yet proven to be superior to the others. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome and complications associated with coracoclavicular ligament repair using autogenous gracilis tendon graft implanted in a single transclavicle transcoracoid bone tunnel. The implantation is performed using an endobutton system that augments the repair with fibrewires. The investigators will prospecitvely follow 30 patients enrolled in the study. The hypthesis is that this near anatomical repair of the coracoclavicular ligaments will result in good clinical outcome and few complications.
Dislocation of the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder is a common orthopedic clinical problem. The majority of the dislocations are anterior (about 95%) while the rest are posterior and inferior. After reduction of the initial dislocation, the treatment's goal is to prevent recurrent dislocations. In spite of treatment, the recurrence rate is 80-90% in the population aged 18-29. There is an age-related decrease in the recurrence rate, with the only 2-3% for ages 60-70. It has been calculated that 1 in 200 soldiers in the Israeli Army between the ages of 17 and 33 suffers from recurrent shoulder dislocations [1]. The traditional treatment for primary (first-time) shoulder anterior dislocation has been immobilization of the shoulder in internal rotation in a soft dressing called universal shoulder immobilizer (USI) for 3-6 weeks. However, there is a lack of evidence-based information to demonstrate the effectiveness of this treatment. Posterior dislocations are immobilized in external rotation. Work presented previously in the Orthopaedic Research Society and more recently at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggests that immobilization of the shoulder after reduction of anterior dislocation is best in external rotation and not in internal rotation. MRI studies have shown that the labral tear, which is the hallmark of most traumatic anterior dislocations, is best reduced to its anatomical position when the shoulder is immobilized in external and not in internal rotation. Preliminary data indicates that immobilization in external rotation of the primary traumatic shoulder dislocations may lower the incidence of reoccurrence. The traditional shoulder immobilizer is a generic bandage produced by several companies. In the current study, the investigators will use a USI distributed by Uriel® company (Uriel #87), which can be modified to hold the shoulder in external rotation.
Retrospectively study reviewing 34 patients operated with dual mobility cups in total hip arthroplasty between January 2009 and June 2012 at Sundsvall Hospital. Hypothesis: The dual mobility socket reduce the rate of dislocation in patient at high risk but increase the incidence of postoperative infection.
To compare and validate the two clinical algorithms
The purpose of this study is to establish whether or not there is a clinical advantage to the use of Aquamantys® System from Medtronic Advanced Energy (formerly Salient Surgical Technologies) in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty via the anterior supine intermuscular surgical approach in terms of blood loss, transfusion and wound healing. Wound healing will be assessed by a blinded observer and based upon a simple and subjective criteria: a) as expected, b) better than expected or c) worse than expected. The blinded observer is experienced in the care of the surgical patient and wound evaluation.
Nursemaid elbow or pulled elbow is a condition commonly seen in the emergency department. It is the sudden pull of the radial head (a bone in the elbow) in toddlers. Usually occur when a parent tries to pull the child by the arm and a "clic" or "clunk" is felt with immediate pain and unwilling to move the arm. It is not a dangerous condition although it is distressing for kids and their parents/caretakers.
The primary objective of this research is to examine the result of rotator cuff repairs following acute shoulder dislocations and to investigate whether timing of surgery following acute shoulder dislocations affects patients perception of pain, function, and strength following surgery.
