Filter by:The investigators will be enrolling children with distal radius buckle fractures, treating them with a removable splint and randomizing them to follow up as needed vs required follow up with a primary care physician 1-2 weeks after the ED visit.
This pilot study will look at whether it is possible to give better physical therapy to people with cognitive limitations who have had a hip fracture.
The aim of the research is to identify structural tissue changes in the early fracture hematomas.
Retrospective observational study of reversed shoulder arthroplasties by proximal humeral fracture. Analysis of preoperative risk factors as well as minor and major complications at the first week, 90 days and 1 year.
Evaluation of gastric contents in fasted elderly patients with hip fracture. The gastric contents will be examined by using ultrasonography in fasted elderly patients scheduled for hip fracture surgery. The primary outcome is the number of patients with stomach contents, and the secondary outcome is the component of residual gastric contents.
Distal radius fracture (DRF) is a common fracture of which the incidence appears to be increasing worldwide. On average, a total of 17% of all diagnosed fractures are DRF's. In the Dutch guideline for DRF the treatment advice for DRF, without reduction, is treatment with plaster cast or brace for one-three weeks. Despite the advice in the guideline and despite several studies from the 90's showing that plaster cast treatment of a stable DRF for one week is safe, the usual length of plaster cast treatment for stable DRF is four-six weeks. In addition, recent studies have also shown that a long period of immobilization can lead to more post traumatic pain by increasing disuse and kinesiophobia. This evidence suggests that the usual duration (4-6 weeks) of plaster cast treatment for DRF is unnecessary. The aim of this feasibility study is to define whether one week of plaster cast treatment is possible and can lead to better functional results, with at least the same patient satisfaction and complications. In addition, this feasibility study will be used to define the sample size of the future RCT.
This study evaluates the effect of Vitamin D3 supplementation in healing rate of tibia fractures in adult patients with low vitamin D. Half of participants will receive Vitamin D3 supplementation while the other will receive placebo.
National, randomized, open, parallel, multicenter clinical trial of two comparison groups that will evaluate the feasibility of a strategy based on a diagnostic test to shorten the surgery time in antiaggregated patients with proximal femur fracture. The experimental group will undergo surgery as soon as platelet aggregability, according to the PLATELETWORKS® method is correct within 24-48 hours. The control group will undergo surgery according to the usual practice of the center taking into account the safety time of the antiplatelet agent.
Surgical repair of hip fractures may be performed with various anesthetic techniques, but are most commonly completed under general anesthesia (GA) or neuraxial anesthesia (NA). Numerous prospective and retrospective studies demonstrate improved morbidity and mortality when NA is used; however, many surgeons prefer the use of GA with neuromuscular blockade (NMB) due to the perception of better operative conditions. This study aims to compare the operative conditions obtained from the use of combined GA and spinal with NMB vs. the use of GA with spinal without NMB. 84 patients will all receive a single shot spinal and GA and then will be randomized to receive either NMB or placebo. The fracture reduction time will be measured.
Prospective, multi-centre, non-comparative, post-market surveillance clinical study
