Filter by:Through this study we aim to investigate the rate of DRFs initially treated with successful closed reduction (to an acceptable position, then immobilized in a plaster cast), that re-displace and end up requiring surgery. This study will clarify the incidence of DRFs where surgical intervention could potentially be avoided if the initial closed reduction lasted until sufficient bone healing was attained. As DRFs are the most common fracture of the adult population treated in the Danish emergency departments, the aim of this study is to examine the amount of people with DRFs that could potentially avoid surgery and thereby lowering the cost to the health care system, as well as save the patient invasive surgery. Furthermore, we expect to classify which specific types of fractures according to Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/ Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification system have a high or low incidence of secondary surgery after primary closed reduction.
Pediatric patients with distal radius fractures are most commonly treated non-operatively with fracture reduction and cast immobilization. In order to prevent complications from increased swelling after the injury (or fracture manipulation) casts may be split along their length to relieve pressure. However, this can compromise the casts' structural integrity, predisposing fractures to loss of reduction. The goal of this study was to investigate if cast bivalving, or splitting the cast longitudinally on both sides, resulted in any immediate change to bony alignment and to assess if bivalving effected cast parameters associated with loss of reduction.
The study is a single-center, retrospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the DVR Plates. The primary objective is the assessment of performance by analyzing fracture healing. The secondary objective is the assessment of safety by recording and analyzing the incidence and frequency of complications and adverse events.
Background: There are three methods for procedural sedation in upper extremity traumas; systemic, regional and local anesthesia. There is controversy in the literature regarding the method of choice for this purpose. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare conscious sedation and Bier's block methods for pain reduction in upper extremity trauma patients. Patients and Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial. Patients were randomly allocated to either the Bier's block or the conscious sedation group. Pain reduction was assessed by a numerical rating scale; patients, surgeons and physicians responsible for analgesia satisfaction were assessed using a five-point Likert scale. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness, complications, duration, hemodynamic stability and patient and physician satisfaction between systemic analgesia and Bier's block method performed at the emergency department.
The objective of this study is to determine whether a new minimally invasive method for in vivo measurement of cortical bone tissue properties can identify those who are at risk for fragility fractures of the hip and radius. The investigators hypothesis is that women with fragility fractures of the hip and radius have altered cortical bone tissue properties compared to non-fracture controls independent of standard clinical tests, such as bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
Eligible patients that sign an informed consent will be randomized to operation with volar locking plate or cast immobilization. Primary follow-up after 1 year.
The theoretical benefits of the repair of the pronator quadratus include flexor tendon protection, remain of the normal pronation-supination range of motion (ROM) and strength, and keeping the stable DRUJ. Repair or not repair pronator quadratus in the volar plating of distal radial fracture-Are functional outcomes differ?
