Filter by:We create a randomized clinical trial between the treatment with above elbow armcast alone and the treatment of above elbow in combination with a short arm cast for stable midshaft both-bone forearm fractures.
We create a randomized clinical trial between above- and below elbow cast to find out what kind of treatment is optimal for undislocated both-bone distal forearm fractures.
We create a randomized clinical trial between treatment with and without Kirschner wire fixation of a stable dislocated distal both-bone forearm fracture.
The investigators created a randomized clinical trial to find out what kind of treatment is optimal for non-dislocated both-bone midshaft forearm fractures.
The investigators created a randomized clinical trial between 1 or 2 elastic stable intramedullary nails to find out what kind of treatment is optimal for unstable both-bone midshaft forearm fractures.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether computerized tomography will be better than plain radiographs in determining pediatrics scaphoid fractures.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of different lower limb amputation surgical procedures on leg bone integrity and rehabilitation outcome.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of vertebroplasty with that of traditional medical treatment in the treatment of painful vertebral fractures in osteoporotic patients.
We aim to compare pain management among three groups of ethnic disparity (ED) patients, Hispanics, non-Hispanic Blacks, non-Hispanic Whites, and assess whether the observed association between pain management and race/ethnicity is independent of potentially important confounding variables (e.g., age, sex, insurance status, education). We also aim to assess whether the effect of race/ethnicity on adequacy of pain management is explained by patients' initial pain intensity or by discordance between patient and physician's: a) race/ethnicity; b) perception of patient's pain. To do this 285 patients with long-bone fractures will be recruited in the EDs of one municipal and one voluntary hospital serving an inner-city, disadvantaged population in the Bronx. Data will be collected on pain using self-reported pain and non-verbal pain expressions at baseline, one hour post-baseline, and discharge. Data on analgesics administered, patient and physician characteristics will also be collected. We plan to conduct a chart review of long bone fractures in 2000 and 2001 so that we can analyze the association between race/ethnicity and pain management using the same design as published studies. Comparison of the retrospective and prospective studies will strengthen inferences that can be drawn. We hypothesize that Black and Hispanic patients will be less likely to receive opioid analgesics than white patients.
