Filter by:To introduce a novel external-fixation technique using the combination of K-wires and cement. For comparison, we also included another group of patients who were treated using a mini plate and screw system. Bone healing, range of motion of the fingers, costs of treatments, and patient satisfaction were assessed.
It was reported that satisfactory postoperative outcome was difficult to obtain for the pelvic or acetabular fracture in old people. The less invasive surgical method was conducted in this study. Then, the clinical results were compared with the patients treated using traditional methods to assess the less invasive method.
The novel plate could be used to manage acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral surface and posterior column, which may lower the intraoperative blood loss and reduce complication rate.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of BonoFill-II as an autologous bone-regenerating graft in the reconstruction of deficient bone in two clinical indications: 1. Long and short bone extra-articular comminuted fracture 2. Long and short bones extra and intra articular defect /Gap or non-union, incapable of self-regeneration
From April ,2014 to April 2015,31 patients with fractures of the proximal humerus were treated in our hospital. According to anatomic neck fractures (ANF) and surgical neck fractures (SNF), we divided the patients into two groups. All the patients were followed at least 1 year.
To determine whether liposomal bupivacaine wound infiltration decreases pain scores and narcotic use when compared to bupivacaine alone after open reduction internal fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures.
Proximal humerus fractures (break of the top part of the upper arm bone) are common in older people with poorer bone quality. Often patients do not undergo surgery for these fractures: the bone fragments may be in an acceptable enough position to be able to heal naturally, or the patient may not be well enough medically to undergo an operation. These patients need to wear a sling to immobilise their injured shoulder, however muscles start to weaken quickly when they are unable to be used. This research project will look at whether strength-training the opposite/uninjured limb, known as "cross education", has any effect on preserving the function of the injured/fractured limb. Participants will be randomised into two groups using minimisation, that is to say the groups will have balanced numbers in terms of exact pattern of fracture and gender. One group will receive traditional rehabilitation exercises and treatment by the physiotherapist for their injured limb; the other group will receive the same but in addition will also undergo a strength-training exercise programme for their uninjured limb. Only qualified physiotherapists with experience of treating this patient cohort will be involved. Sessions in the physiotherapy department will last up to 30 minutes each and will comprise of: patient review, exercise progression, and advice giving/question answering; home exercise programmes will be expected to be completed 2-3 times daily and last up to 30 minutes each; number of sessions will be agreed between the participant and treating physiotherapist with treating ending once an agreed, acceptable level of function has been achieved. The Oxford Shoulder Score patient-reported outcome measure will be completed by the participant at 6 and 12 weeks and the European Quality of Life (EuroQoL)-5D-5L at 12 weeks after commencement of treatment.
Conservative treatment of distal radius fracture is immobilisation with cast for 4-6 weeks. After removing the cast, it is common to still have pain, swelling and reduced mobility in the wrist. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of LLLT on the hand.
Aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of endoscopic trans-maxillary surgical approach versus traditional trans-orbital surgical approach (control group) in orbital blow out fractures in terms of postoperative clinical and digital radio-graphical assessments.
Objective: to compare the functional outcome after open reduction and internal fixation with non-operative cast treatment for elderly patients with displaced intra-articular distal radius fractures.
