Filter by:This register study collects data of patients with proximal humerus and humerus shaft fractures to monitor the healing process by assessing shoulder function and quality of life according to the treatment method (operative or conservative management).
To construct a self-designed plate fixation device for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, aim to verify its advantages on anatomical knee stability, so as to achieve fracture healing and keep tension after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Occlusion training, resistance exercise performed with a specialized venous tourniquet, leads to beneficial changes in muscle strength at low resistance and minimal stress on the nearby joint. This novel resistance training has the potential to greatly improve muscle strength gains in individuals who are unable, for medical reasons, to perform the high resistance exercises typically required to improve strength. Our study will examine the effect of this technique on strength recovery following distal radius fracture treated with cast immobilization (non-operatively). The primary objective of the intervention is to achieve accelerated recovery of forearm, wrist and hand function as assessed using measures such as grip/pinch strength, validated questionnaires, and functional outcome testing. Occlusion training can potentially serve as a specialty intervention for rehabilitation patients, reduce the cost of care, and improve the treatment options for both patients and providers.
BACKGROUND Recent evidence has been published about the effectiveness for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures (OF) of the hospital-based fracture liaison services. AIM To assess the effectiveness of a primary care based intervention in the secondary prevention of OF. METHODOLOGY Prospective study of random clusters, defined at the primary-care trust (PCT) level. Total study follow-up 3 years. Sample size 1800 patients. DESCRIPTION To launch a defined strategy for the identification of OF. To carry out a primary care based intervention about lifestyle, diet and drug prescription, if needed, with an intensive follow-up in the intervention PCT vs treatment as usual in the control branch. ANALYSIS As the outcome are the new OF, a survival analysis will be done. Risk factors will be analyzed through Cox proportional hazard regression model stratified by age groups. Outcomes : - new OF ratio in intervention vs control areas. - maintenance of the adherence to the pharmacological and non pharmacological interventions proposed - assessment of cost-effectivity of the intervention
Investigators will compare antibiotic impregnated Calcium sulfate versus PMMA versus nothing in these sub-segmental bone defects.
The investigators will compare the three methods of seating a tibial nail - Backslapping or Backslapping with Dynamic Locking or Internal Compression.
Acetabulum fracture are high energy trauma in young people as it can be the result of a simple fall in elder people. This fracture generates an incongruity between acetabulum and femoral head. So surgery is recognized as the best treatment even if technically difficult because of the the complexity of anatomy.Navigation is widely used in orthopaedic surgery . The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of peroperative navigation system on reduction of the acetabulum articular surface
The aim of this study is to evaluate not only the occurrence of side effects, but the quality of the recovery (QoR-40 Questionnaire) of patients submitted to spinal anesthesia with administration of low doses (0.1 mg) of intrathecal morphine for the surgical treatment of fractures in one of the lower limbs and who will receive prophylactic ondansetron (4mg), dexamethasone (8mg) or placebo.
This single-centre historical control group comparative study will compare outcomes of surgically-treated rotational ankle fractures and the current routine practice of early protected weightbearing and range of motion with immediate unprotected weightbearing as tolerated and range of motion after ankle open reduction and internal fixation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of human amniotic epithelial cells transplant in nonunion of limb fracture patients.
