Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy, defined as improved range of motion and functional outcome scores, of early elbow motion in the early (immediately post-op) and late postoperative periods (2 week post-op).
The main purpose of this project is to investigate the accuracy of pocket-sized ultrasound (PsUS) in the diagnosis of pediatric elbow fractures. The primary research objective is to determine the test performance characteristics of PSUS performed by pediatric emergency medicine physicians compared to radiography for the detection of pediatric elbow fractures. The project will consist of two parts, first involving a feasibility study and followed by an active study. The feasibility study will aim to answer if providers can perform an adequate elbow ultrasound exam after a brief study training. The active study will investigate the initial accuracy of the PsUS. Participants will be asked in either the feasibility or the active phases of the study to undergo a brief pocket-sized ultrasound elbow exam of both elbows. Patient will continue to receive their previously determined clinical ED management. In the active phase of the study, participant's elbow X-rays or if patient underwent bedside nursemaid reduction will be the comparison to pocket-sized ultrasound images.
Elbow injuries account for up to 15% of emergency consultations. The complexity of this joint and the subtle imaging findings present even in severe injuries make diagnosis difficult and can delay treatment, causing pain and functional impotence. Appropriate deterioration mitigation strategies include, but are not limited to, strengthening programs of sufficient intensity to stimulate anabolism and limit muscle loss and increase strength. The general recommendation for increasing muscle strength and neural adaptations in healthy subjects after sustaining an elbow fracture is moderate to heavy load resistance training with loads approximating 60%-80% of the one repetition maximum ( 1RM). However, high joint stress would be challenging and increase the risk of adverse consequences in such patients, so strategies are still needed to meet the challenges of effectively and safely adapting training loads to safely enable improvement. without requiring high joint stress. Resistance band work, coupled with the use of dual tasks, is a novel approach used during resistance training, especially among healthy populations, with promising results. The purpose of the study is to evaluate acute neuromuscular responses, pain intensity and RPE in patients with elbow joint fracture, with or without surgical approach, with different strategies to strengthen the upper limb. Candidates for this study will be men and women over 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with a fracture of the elbow joint (types 1-3 and types 2-1 according to Müller's OA fracture classification), with or without a surgical approach and with date of injury and completion of their physiotherapy program in 2022-2023, and who begin their physiotherapy treatment between weeks 7 to 9 post-fracture.

The purpose of this study is to find the effects of Mobilization and Muscle energy technique in patients with post-traumatic elbow stiffness.
The Shanghai Elbow Dysfunction Score (SHEDS) is originally developed in English to evaluate elbow function in patients with elbow stiffness. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SHEDS instrument into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties.
The overall objective of the study is to describe the outcomes of osteosyn-thesis with magnesium based screws in children with a primary or second-ary (within 7 days from trauma) dislocated fracture of the Epicondyles ul-naris or Condylus radialis, and to compare them with outcomes of conven-tional osteosynthesis using steel screws. If our results suggest non-inferiority of osteosynthesis with magnesium-based screws, the procedure could be tested formally in a subsequent full-size study.
This randomized-controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) on function, pain, and range of motion (ROM) in patients with a posttraumatic stiff elbow.
Fractures of the radial head are among the most common fractures in the elbow and represent one-third of all elbow fractures.This retrospective cohort study was performed between 2004 and 2014 at Sundsvall and Umeå University hospital, Sweden. All patients who were operated on between 2004 and 2014 with a radial head arthroplasty for an acute or sequelae due to a caput radii fracture.The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical or radiological differences between patients treated with a unipolar or bipolar radial head arthroplasty.
Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) results in immediate pain release with good functional results after distal humerus fractures. But still open reduction and internal fixation is recommended as treatment of choise due to a lifelong loading limitiation, unknown implant survival and problematic revision surgery after TEA. The purpose of this study was to compare functional results and complication rates after primary total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) and TEA after failed reconstruction or non-operative treatment (secondary TEA) in the treatment of distal humerus fractures. We hypothesised that clinical and functional results are better for primary TEA with less complications.
