Filter by:This PMCF study is designed to collect safety and efficacy data on hip hemiarthroplasty surgeries with Corin BiPolar-i shell and the Oceane+ or Meije Duo femoral stem up to 10 years.
Assessment of subsidence of cementless stem following arthroplasty for fracture neck of femur.
This study is done to compare the partially threaded versus fully threaded cannulated screw fixation methods in stable neck of femur fracture in terms of early functional outcomes in patients of age 60 and above. A total of 82 (41 in each group) patients of both genders, aged 60 or above. The Radiographic Union Scale for Hip (RUSH) and Harris Hip score to be used to evaluate fracture healing.
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Freedom Constrained Vivacit-E Acetabular Liners in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.
The therapeutic choice for femoral neck fracture is conventionally made between conservative treatment and total hip arthroplasty. This choice for patients aged between 45 and 64 years old remains a controversial subject. The aim of our work was to describe the current situation in the management of femoral neck fractures in these patients and to evaluate the results of the two options
In February 2021, Altior Trauma Innovations™ announced that it had received 501(k) FDA approval for the Artemis Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) System for internal fixation of intertrochanteric femur fractures. The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate safety, efficacy and feasibility of the Artemis PFN implant for operative fixation of intertrochanteric femoral fractures, compared to matched historical control patients who received other implants.
This study is a global, multi-center, prospective, non-controlled, non-randomized, post-market clinical follow-up study. The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Dual Mobility Acetabular System when used with the Vivacit-E or Longevity polyethylene hip bearing and instrumentation in primary total and revision (total) hip arthroplasty
The patients who underwent hip arthroplasty in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were reviewed. The perioperative data were collected, and then the mortality was calculated and the risk factors were analyzed.
Regional anesthesia for hip fractures has been shown to decrease rates of delirium in elderly patients with hip fractures as well as improve pain compared to systemic opioids. The Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block has recently received attention as an alternative approach to femoral nerve block and Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB). The investigators seek to evaluate if there is a difference between the PENG and FICB in terms of efficacy of pain control in ED patients presenting with hip fracture. We hypothesize that the PENG block may be superior based on previous research.
Femur fracture is a common injury occurring in the young due to trauma as well as amongst the elderly due to fall. Reduction and fixation of femur fractures pose a challenge to the anesthesiologist. These fractures are intensely painful as the pain arises from the periosteum and even slight movement can cause muscle forces to angulate and deform the fractured fragments which apart from causing extreme pain also make the reduction of the fracture quite difficult. Sub-arachnoid block (SAB) is a commonly used technique for lower-limb surgeries. It provides excellent surgical anesthesia and is a largely safe and reliable anesthetic technique. However, for femur fracture repair, positioning the patient for SAB not only causes extreme pain but it also makes administration of SAB difficult due to inappropriate position. Another limitation of SAB is its limited duration of action. Hence, conventional pain management modalities which include opioids and NSAIDs are used to manage pain before and during the administration of SAB and during the post-operative period. These conventional pain management drugs are associated with significant adverse effects and should be used with caution especially in the elderly with multiple comorbids. Recently, fascia iliaca block (FICB) has been used not only as part of multi-modal peri-operative analgesic regime for femur fractures but also to provide adequate analgesia for appropriate SAB positioning. FICB fills the plane underneath the fascia iliaca with local anesthetic and acts on the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerves and thus provides adequate analgesia for femur fractures for up to 24-48 hours. FICB is also associated with less side effects when compared to conventional pain management modalities and provides adequate unilateral analgesia with fewer autonomic and neurological complications when compared with epidural analgesia. Traditionally, local anesthetics have been used for most of the peripheral nerve blocks (PNB), however multiple adjuncts such as opioids, ketamine and clonidine have been used to prolong the duration of action as well as decrease the local anesthetic dosage. Among the adjuncts, dexamethasone has been used to generally favorable results in PNBs. Dexmedetomidine is another promising drug being used as a local anaesthetic adjuvant in peripheral nerve blocks. It is an alpha-2 agonist, which has shown to have prolonged duration of postoperative analgesia when given with LA for peripheral nerve blocks with other beneficial effects such as reducing the opioid consumption. In this study, the investigators compare dexamethasone with dexmedetomidine as an adjunct when combined with ropivacaine in FICB.
