Filter by:Trauma to the extremities such wrist, ankle, limb is very common and affects all population groups. It constitutes a significant public health issue. Standard radiography remains the basic imaging tool. However, as a 2-dimensional (2D) imaging modality it lacks sensitivity and specificity. Misdiagnosis rates are known to be high, especially for non-displaced fractures of the scaphoid and talus as well as erosions due to rheumatoid arthritis. Misdiagnosis leads to over treatment and unnecessary loss of productivity and quality of life including 6-12 weeks in a cast. Missed fractures can result in a chronic, non-healing fracture that may require surgical fixation and early arthritis of the joint. From a physician perspective, a missed diagnosis can result in a lawsuit and an expensive settlement/penalty. Computed tomography (CT) offers high resolution and excellent visualization of bone and joint morphology, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) delivers soft tissue and cartilage visibility. However, cost, space and workflow related issues make them prohibitive for small orthopedic clinics. Although the radiation dose of a CT scan has been reduced considerably in recent years, it is still significantly higher than a regular radiograph. The whole-body scanners also have difficulties in imaging patients in portable and weight-bearing conditions. Dedicated extremity CT scanners have been commercialized recently in an attempt to address the current deficiency. They still suffer from higher cost and at such have a limited installation base.
The assessment consists in comparing corticoids injection versus placebo in surgery of lower limb fractures The aim of study is to assess (state cutaneous, efficacy, safety) corticoids injection on a prospective, randomized analysis
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether providing patients with a question prompt list (QPL) prior to their orthopaedic surgery clinic appointment improves their perceived involvement in care (PICs) score compared to being given 3 questions from the AskShareKnow model
Psychological factors can affect the experience of pain and functional recovery from orthopedic injury. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of brief Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a form of psychotherapy, on changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can cause problems in daily living and interfere with recovery from orthopedic injury in patients who are at high risk for chronic pain and disability.
The aim of the present study is to assess the clinical performance (patient satisfaction, fracture, shade matching, Marginal adaptation and sensitivity) of laminate veneers made with celtra duo press ceramic and IPS e.max press ceramic with incisal wrap design.
This is a post-marketing surveillance on Medacta Shoulder System
This study is a Post Market Clinical Follow-up study to fulfill the post market surveillance requirements. The data collected from this study will serve the purpose of confirming safety and performance of the TESS Shoulder System.
The aims of this study are to test a manualized mind body skills-building program aimed at preventing the development of chronic pain and disability following acute musculoskeletal injury in at-risk patients.
A post market, non-randomized, multi-center, open-label,clinical study using survivorship to study the safety and efficacy of the Integra® TITAN™ Total Shoulder System 1.0 (TAS) when used for total shoulder arthroplasty.
A novel methodology was recently developed and validated by the applicants to compute bone strength at the distal radius and tibia using second-generation HR-pQCT reconstructions. The methodology is expected to improve significantly the assessment of bone fracture risk in idiopathic and secondary osteoporosis, but no reference data and no reproducibility data are available. The objective of the study is the determination of the sex- and age-specific distributions of accurate distal radius and tibia strength assessed by HR-pQCT in the Swiss population.
