Filter by:Few studies have reported the efficacy of adding dexmedetomidine to bupivacain for fascia illiaca compartment black. Comparison of dexmedetomidine and bupivacaine with bupivacaine alone on the quality of ultrasonography guided fascia iliaca compartment block in adults undergoing femur fracture fixation surgery at 2014.
The purpose of this multi-center patient registry is to obtain first clinical results and to assess short and mid-term clinical outcome data of patients treated with DLS.
Elderly patients with poor cardiopulmonary reserve tend to suffer higher risk and develop more complications following major surgery. Quite a few researches have shown the benefits of goal-directed therapy (GDT) using fluid loading or inotropic agents or both to improve outcome during major surgery. However there is concern that inotropic therapy for a supernormal oxygen delivery (DO2I) may lead to an increased incidence of myocardial ischemia. Even though the meta-analysis has stated that DO2I strategy could possibly reduce the incidence of cardiac complication than stroke volume optimization strategy, there are very few evidence available in the literature regarding the effect on myocardial ischemia in surgical patients, especially in non-cardiac surgical patients. This study is undertaken to test the hypothesis that an intraoperative DO2I optimization result in a decreased myocardial ischemia in the elderly high-risk surgical patients.
The main goal of the study is to determine which cephalomedullary nail results in a better functional outcome for the patient with an unstable intertrochanteric hip fracture. Subjects will be randomized to fixation with either a Gamma3 cephalomedullary nail or an InterTan cephalomedullary nail. Outcomes will be reviewed over a 12 month follow-up period.
Postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture after hip arthroplasty is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Recent cohort studies have demonstrated a high incidence of PPF in elderly patients treated with two commonly used polished, tapered, collarless stems in elderly patients. The aim of this study was to compare the rate and characteristics of PPF in a consecutive cohort of patients treated either the polished tapered CTP stem or the matte anatomic SP2 stem in an elderly population above 80 years of age with femoral neck fracture.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) on blood loss and need for perioperative blood transfusion following intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric femur fractures. TXA is a antifibrinolytic medication that prevents the breakdown of blood clots by inhibiting the activation of plasminogen to plasmin in the coagulation cascade. Our hypothesis is that by providing TXA at the time of hospital admission it will decrease the amount of preoperative and intraoperative bleeding thereby leading to a decreased need for post-operative transfusion. This a double blinded, placebo controlled, therapeutic trial in which half of patients will be randomized to receive TXA at the time of hospital admission and half of patients will receive a placebo.
Neck of femur fractures are common in the elderly and are the source of significant morbidity and mortality. This study is based on a new technique developed in Ben Gurion University, with which investigators are able to asses the structural 3 dimensional strength of a bone by applying a unique simulation on a CAT scan of the bone. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk of a contralateral neck of femur fracture after the first neck of femur fracture and to estimate the potential fracture characteristics.
The investigators will be looking at geriatric distal femur fractures. The investigators will prospectively enroll these patients and allow patients to either weight bear as tolerated or limit their weight bearing post operatively. The investigators will evaluate functional outcomes.
Measurement of thrombogenic properties by TEG and MEA and observation of thrombotic events over 2 years in 220 patients with hip fracture.
This study evaluates the effect of anesthesia on mortality after surgical repair of proximal femur fracture. Patients will receive either a subarachnoid block or a combination of peripheral nerve blocks and light general anesthesia (PNB/GA). The investigators hypothesis is that a combination of peripheral nerve blocks with an opioid free light anesthesia may have more favourable outcomes. Both groups will be followed up for assessment of post-operative morbidity and mortality.
