Older adults suffering from a hip fracture are a significant concern, with higher incidence rates among women. Mortality rates post-hip fracture are alarming, with up to 8-fold increased risk within 3 months and significant percentages within 30 days and 12 months. Older adults with hip fracture face challenges in regaining pre-fracture level of function, especially those with cognitive impairment, which affects 25% to 40% of cases and increases mortality risk. While interventions exist, such as progressive strength training and structured exercise programs, patients with hip fracture don't consistently restore pre-fracture function, particularly in cognitively impaired patients, who are often excluded from studies. Limited evidence exists on effective management for this subgroup, with a lack of clarity on community-based rehabilitation. Although guidelines suggest exercise interventions for patients with mild to moderate cognitive impairment, the specifics remain uncertain due to insufficient research focused solely on this population. This feasibility study aims to assess the practicality and safety of implementing a 12-week individualized, progressive exercise program for older adults with hip fracture and cognitive impairment in an outpatient setting. Additionally, the investigators seek to gather qualitative insights through observations and interviews regarding participants' experiences and the perceived value of rehabilitation post-hip fracture, particularly focusing on the exercise intervention provided.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of surgical fixation in patients with specific kinds of distal femur fractures. The main questions it aims to answer is which operation for distal femur fractures is better for efficient return to work and everyday activities.
The CHIMERA study intends to evaluate the clinical benefits of the study medical device in the standard clinical practice.
This study aims to determine the effect of tele-nursing application based on Orem's Self-care Theory on self-care agency and daily living activities in trauma-related lower extremity fracture surgery patients.
To study the incidence of non union of Unreamed intramedullary nailing in type IIIa Open diaphyseal fractures of the tibia as a primary outcome and the incidence of complications and clinical and functional outcome as a secondary outcome .
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with hip fractures who undergo cryoablation of the PENG have improved pain control 30 days from surgery when compared to those who have a fascia iliaca catheter.
This clinical trial aims to compare the effect of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) and suprainguinal fascia iliaca blocks (SIFIB) on pain management in elderly patients with subtrochanteric femur fractures. The participants will be patients determined to have proximal femoral nailing. According to randomisation, each participant will receive either PENG or SIFIB postoperatively after spinal anaesthesia. The investigator will measure postoperative pain scores, total amount of analgesic consumption and motor ability postoperatively.
This prospective multicenter cohort study is to compare the post-operative implant failure rate between the patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture (AO classification 31-A) using Proximal Femoral Universal Nail (PFUN) versus Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) at 21-month follow up. The patients are divided into the PFUN group and the PFNA group according to the internal fixation they choose. The internal fixation failure rate (IFFR) and differences in fracture prognosis of the two groups will be compared. Obtain clinical data of PFUN in the Chinese population, and verify the safety and efficacy of PFUN for patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture.
Music has been proven to be beneficial in postoperative care by reducing pain. The effects of music listening to reduce pain postoperatively are well studied among cases undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery. No study has been conducted focusing on pain control among cases with fragility hip fractures in an acute ward setting with non-schedule non-elective orthopaedic operation. In Queen Elizabeth Hospital a standardized analgesic protocol is used for all fragility hip fracture cases unless contraindicated, a suboptimal post-operative pain control is not uncommonly seen. Stepping up analgesics is usually a concern in the elderly with a higher rate of side effects, a safe and simple non-pharmacological intervention for pain control is therefore needed. The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of incorporating music on pain intensity and mobility with the standard postoperative rehabilitation care of fragility hip fracture in Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
