Filter by:Prospective, unicenter, randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-arms blinded assessor pilot study. Thirty-two (32) elderly patients with hip fracture will be randomized to one of the two treatment-arms (Xcel-MT-osteo-beta or Standard treatment) and be followed for 12 month with the primary objective of safety. Secondary objectives are efficacy through axial tomography and xRay, clinical efficacy and quality of life questionnaire.
Interest of the four major OSA Predictive Scores (STOP-BANG, P-SAP, DES-OSA, OSA50) in the prognosis of postoperative mortality after femoral neck fracture.
Inclusion of all patients with femoral neck fracture presenting in Saint-Luc Bouge Hospital between October 1th 2014 and September 30th 2015. Comparison of severity scores of these patients and the scale of Nottingham on immediate (day 1 and day 2) and late (1 month) outcome.
Insertion of a hemiarthroplasty is a well established treatment for a dislocated medial hip fracture in elderly patients. The purpose of this study is to compare unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty as a treatment for patients aged 70 years or above with a dislocated medial femoral neck fracture. The study is prospective and randomised, and will be based on questionnaires, clinical examinations, registration of complications and radiographic evaluation at follow up at 3 months, 1 and 3 years postoperatively.
We hypothesize that Traumeel S is more effective than placebo in reducing 48-hour mean cumulative morphine consumption in patients scheduled for surgical correction of fracture of neck of hip. 224 patients, meeting all inclusion and none of exclusion criteria, will be enrolled in the trial. Patients will be randomized to receive either intraoperative injection and post operative oral Traumeel S Tablets or placebo injection (normal saline) and indistinguishable oral placebo tablets. Baseline measurements of relevant outcome measures will taken preoperatively. Immediately after surgery, patients will receive an initial dose of morphine of 0.1mg/kg body weight. Patients will take the oral study medication for 21 days. Every four hours after surgery, patients will be asked to grade their pain on an NRS. Subsequent doses of morphine will be calculated based upon the patient's weight and current NRS, according to a preplanned scheme. Patients will be permitted to request additional morphine, beyond their calculated dose.
