View clinical trials related to Femoral Neck Fractures.
Filter by:Femur's neck injuries are frequently encountered fractures. They are usually due to high energy or low energy indirect trauma. Healing of these fractures is usually hindered due to "avascular necrosis (AVN)" or "non-union" of the Femur's head. This study looks forward to investigating the impact of capsulotomy and internal fixation in lowering the incidence of complications and improving the functional outcomes.
OBJECTIVES: This study assesses the efficacy of dynamic hip screw (DHS) versus cannulated screws for femoral neck fractures, focusing on femoral neck shortening, avascular necrosis (AVN) incidence, and functional outcomes. METHODS: Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Academic Level I Trauma Center. Patient Selection Criteria: Included were patients with femoral neck fractures treated with DHS or cannulated screws, with follow-up data available. Outcome Measures and Comparisons: Main outcomes were femoral neck shortening, incidence of AVN, and Harris Hip Score (HHS) for functional assessment.
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare serum concentration of bone intake proteins [ sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), cross linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I)] and muscle atrophy marker [creatine kinase (CK-MB)] between patients after the fracture of proximal femur and their age corresponding counterpart without the fracture. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the higher concentration of bone intake proteins and muscle atrophy marker a predictive factor of proximal femur fracture? The part of participants (Group 1) will be hospitalized at the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation and will undergo a surgical treatment (open reduction of the fracture). The rest (Group 2) will be admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine. Participants of both Groups will have the blood sample test taken, to evaluate and compare the serum concentration of SHBG, CTX-I and CK-MB proteins.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) on Top of Fixed Fracture Neck of Femur managed by subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy
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.
Pilot study to evaluate the management of curative anticoagulant prescriptions pre- and postoperatively in elderly patients hospitalized for femoral neck fracture.
The investigators aimed to compare the effects of targeted fluid management and traditional fluid management on the inferior vena cava collapsibility index in participants who will undergo proximal femoral surgery. In addition, the amount of fluid given, blood products, the number of perioperative hypotensive events, perioperative hemodynamics, perioperative and postoperative blood gas analysis, perioperative urine output and bleeding amount, postoperative complications (cardiac, respiratory, renal, etc.), postoperative 30-day mortality, nausea and vomiting score, It was aimed to evaluate and compare the postoperative hospitalization day as secondary.
For fresh femoral neck fracture internal fixation, both DHS and CCS can make strong fixation of hip and have good recovery. There is no statistical difference in complications after surgery between the two procedures. Patients with DHS internal fixation have earlier postoperative weight bearing, which is conducive to functional exercise of the injured limb. DHS internal fixation system is recommended for patients with unstable fractures and severe osteoporosis.
This was a prospective cohort study. The study was conducted in the two hospitals after approval by the KNH/UON ethical committee and the board of management of Kikuyu Mission Hospital. Trained data clerks were used for retrieval of data from the respective hospitals with follow-up conducted in the respective clinics and through phone calls. The clerks were not blinded to the study but every data was corroborated by interviewing the patients or their relatives and evaluation of medical data availed as well as clinical status. Both KNH and Kikuyu Mission Hospitals had handwritten patient notes/records at the time of the study (not electronic) with central registries for storage of patient files. The patients files and other medical documents will be available in the wards but upon discharge, stored at the central registries. The WOMAC scores(assessment of the outcome measures) were conducted by the principal investigator by direct interview of the patients/ their designated next of kin, or via telephone contacts. The outcome measures included pain, stiffness and activities of daily living.
Investigators will compared the clinical outcomes between superior capulotomy and inferior capsulotomy in bipolar hemiarthropalsty using posterior approach.
