Filter by:This study will examine the efficacy of Liposomal Bupivacaine (Exparel) in hip fracture patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures through a posterior approach. Post-operative measures will be assessing pain, overall opiate use, delirium, time-to-ambulation and discharge status.
This study investigates the efficacy of physiotherapist-supervised training once per week during 10 weeks compared to home-based training during 10 weeks, after proksimal humerus fracture.
The incidence of hypotension perioperatively during operation of an acute hip fracture is unknown. As a surrogate factor the usage of vasopressor support is more adequate as the registration of vasopressor drugs are many times not complete in records. The investigators retrospectively investigated the anesthetic journals of 1100 patients with an acute hip fracture (AHF) noting confounding factors and the usage of vasopressors either by injections or infusions and then correlated these results to mortality at 30-, 90- and 365- days
The aim of the study is to assess the responsiveness of the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) in a population of patients undergoing rehabilitation following hand surgery, as this has not previously been investigated. Methods: Patients are included from the department of physical and occupational therapy at Silkeborg Regional Hospital in the period November 2017 to May 2018. A total of 50 patients, who have been referred for specialized occupational therapy rehabilitation following finger or hand surgery, will be included. At baseline and follow-up (after 8 weeks) all patients are assessed with AMPS, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), hand grip strength and joint range of motion using standardized methods. Responsiveness to change is evaluated using an anchor-based method, comparing AMPS scores with the scores on the Global Rating Scale. The area under the ROC curve will be calculated, and an area under the curve of 0.7 is considered acceptable. Convergent and discriminative validity of the AMPS will be assessed across the different instruments used. Thus the investigators expect a higher correlation between AMPS and COPM and lower correlation between AMPS and hand grip strength and range of motion.
Patients with mandibular sub-condylar fractures underwent either either open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) or closed reduction with external fixation (CREF) and were followed up for 6 months to assess treatment adequacy with the hypothesis that ORIF is superior to CREF.
This study evaluates the rate of cut-out and fixation failures in helical blade fixation versus lag screw fixation for cephalomedullary nailing of peritrochanteric femur fractures.
The purpose of this study is to collect device and procedure experience in everyday clinical practice. The patients are being asked to participate in this study because they are a surgical candidate for the treatment of a broken shoulder and are considering treatment with the PH Cage device.
This study is a prospective study. Patients with traumatic rib fractures are divided into control group and surgical (OP) group, depending on whether they undergo rib fracture fixation surgeries. They complete Short Form-36 and Work Quality Index (WQI) before surgery and after surgery (before discharge, post-surgery 1 month, 3 months and 6 months). The goal of this study is to examine the life quality of patients who receive surgical treatment for rib fracture by analyzing patients' response, comorbidity, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) etc.), severity of fracture (AIS, ISS) and medical costs. The investigators hope to find the most suitable method of treatment for patients with rib fractures.
Patients with unilateral non-comminuted zygomatic complex fracture undergo fixation of the complex by a customized plate at one point after 3D virtual simulation and reduction of the complex using Mimics software.
The St JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL set up a fracture liaison service for osteopotic fracture. A specific nurse screens eligible patient admitted in emergency yard and call them to propose a bone densitometry and a medical coverage.. The aim of the study is to evaluate this new organisation
