Filter by:The primary objective of this study will be the collection of preliminary clinical evidence to indicate that Cast21 Short Arm Product is no worse than the current standard of care arm immobilization devices in pediatric patients. A secondary objective will be to characterize the clinician and patient experience with the Cast21 Short Arm Product.
Wrist arthroscopy (WA) is a potentially useful adjuvant procedure in the surgical treatment (osteosynthesis) of distal radius fractures (DRFs). Previous research on the contribution of WA to DRF treatment has shown different results. Objectives of the study: (1) Validate wrist functional outcome questionnaires; (2) To determine whether arthroscopically assisted repositioning of fracture fragments in articular DRFs leads to a better treatment outcome; (3) To determine whether arthroscopic observation and treatment of associated soft tissue and / or cartilage injuries in articular DRFs leads to a better treatment outcome; (4) To determine whether arthroscopic observation and treatment of associated soft tissue and / or cartilage injuries in extraarticular DRFs leads to a better treatment outcome. Research hypotheses: (1) Validated questionnaires will have satisfactory measurement properties (validity, reliability) and will be able to be used in a WA randomized controlled trial; (2) WA as an adjunct to DRF osteosynthesis improves the clinical outcome of treatment. Subjects: 56 female patients with indication for DRF osteosynthesis aged 50-69 years divided into 2 groups: 1. examined - 28 patients with indication for DRF osteosynthesis (14 patients with extraarticular DRF and 14 patients with intraarticular DRF) with associated WA, and 2. control - 28 patients with indication for DRF osteosynthesis (14 patients with extraarticular DRF and 14 patients with intraarticular DRF) without associated WA. Methods: As a primary outcome measure, functional outcomes of treatment will be analyzed with the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Score at 3 and 6 months after surgery. As a secondary outcome measures it will be analyzed pain level according to a visual analog scale (VAS), preoperative and postoperative radiographic parameters of distal radius, and clinical outcomes of treatment with the Mayo Wrist Score (MWS) and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) score at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Expected scientific contribution: providing answers on the role of WA in the treatment of DRF and associated injuries as well as its impact on treatment outcome.
The purpose of this study is to compare web FLS model (e_FLS) to conventional FLS in terms of increasing the proportion of patients receiving an antiosteoporotic treatment in the year after a low trauma fracture.
The purpose of this study is to gather early and mid- to long-term evidence to confirm the clinical performance, safety and use of the Clavicle Plate and Clavicle Hook Plate System. A minimum of 76 patients with clavicle fractures or dislocations of the AC joint surgically treated with any plate from the DPS VA-LCP Clavicle System will be enrolled in this observational post-market clinical investigation. Outcomes will be collected until up to 2 years after surgery.
By using national databases in Sweden the aim of the present project is to: 1. Investigate if the incidence of our most common diseases, such as fracture and cardiovascular disease, has changed from 1970-2017 2. To investigate whether the risk of death for our most common diseases have changed from 1970-2017. 3. To investigate the risk of a new episode after suffering from our most common diseases from 1970-2017 4. To investigate the risk factors for our most common diseases, and whether these have changed from 1970. 5. To investigate how severe disease or death affects the health of a close relative.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the safety and exploratory efficacy of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for patients with fracture and bone nonunion.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of variations in practice, ranging from early functional rehabilitation to complete immobilsation in post operative patients with ankle fixation following fractures. The primary goal of any post-operative regimen is to attain full weight-bearing and as close to pre-injury levels of activity as soon as possible. We seek to establish the effect on (1) functional outcome, (2) complication rates and (3) time to return to work of three different approaches to rehabilitation after ankle fracture fixation in order to produce a standardised, evidence-based guideline for our unit. We also aim to perform a cost analysis for each approach.
The early community-care program is well-known rehabiliation for the fracture hip patient. For the discharged fracture hip patient from hospital, it is worth to investigate the effect of early mobilization program to improve their physical and psychological aspects.
