Filter by:The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effects of design changes from the use of three different IM nail designs in the management of extracapsular hip fractures.
Elevated serum metal ions are well recognized in metal-on-metal articulations in total hip replacements. The objective of the study is to see if the Cathcart / Corail device implanted during a hemiarthroplasty (replacement of one half of the hip joint) results in elevated serum metal ion levels (cobalt & chromium) and to see if there is an association between size of Cathcart head used and metal ion levels.
The purpose of this study is to determine that periarticular levobupivacaine infiltration after surgical fixation of fractured neck of femur will improve the early postoperative pain sensation.
Fracture neck of femur is a common cause of hospital admission in the elderly and requires operative fixation. Dexamethasone has the potential of inhibiting cortisol secretion. In addition, preoperative glucocorticoids improve analgesia and decrease opioid consumption with reduction in associated side effects in a variety of clinical settings. The investigators hypothesis was that a single dose of preoperative dexamethasone enhance postoperative analgesia and attenuates the inflammatory response in patients undergoing operative fixation of fractured neck of femur, in a prospective, randomized, placebo controled trial.
The aim of the study is to compare patient comfort and analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided femoral nerve block using the following endpoints: circumferential spread, anterior or posterior local anaesthetic deposition prior to positioning for spinal anaesthesia for operative fixation of fractured neck of femur.
