Filter by:Patients sustaining fractures of the upper (maxilla) and/or lower (mandible) jaw may be candidates for the minimally invasive technology evaluated in this study. Patients will be offered standard care including steel jaw wires or the polymer-based "zip tie"-like devices to be studied. Written consent with a full explanation of traditional "jaw wiring" techniques versus this experimental approach will be obtained from the patient. As mandible and maxilla fractures are typically treated under general anesthesia in the operating room, the devices will be applied to the patient's dentition while under general anesthetic. An exception to this will be minimally displaced or easily reduced fractures that can be treated by applying these devices in clinic under topical or local anesthetic. (Of note, wire-based techniques have been used for decades in a clinic-based application for such minimally or easily-reduced fractures.) The devices will allow stabilizing forces to the dental occlusion, achieving a similar function to temporary steel wire techniques ("arch bars"). This will allow the surgeon/principal investigator to treat the fractures with standard techniques such as applying titanium plates applied to the bone with titanium screws (known as "open reduction with internal fixation") or with sustained immobilization for 1-6 weeks (known as "closed reduction"). Note the devices are approved for 3 weeks duration. If treatment requires more than 3 weeks of immobilization, the devices will be removed and new devices re-applied. The experimental devices will be used solely as a replacement for wire-based techniques to achieve an immobile, stable jaw. If for any reason the required forces needed for jaw fracture stabilization are deemed inadequate with the experimental devices, standard steel wire techniques will be employed.
This study aims to analysis the efficacy of the 3D printing percutaneous guide template in combination with the pointed lotus-style regulator in percutaneous pedicle screw fixation.
We evaluated fracture risk assessment tools (FRAXs) from different regions in Chinese postmenopausal women.
For fresh femoral neck fracture internal fixation, both DHS and CCS can make strong fixation of hip and have good recovery. There is no statistical difference in complications after surgery between the two procedures. Patients with DHS internal fixation have earlier postoperative weight bearing, which is conducive to functional exercise of the injured limb. DHS internal fixation system is recommended for patients with unstable fractures and severe osteoporosis.
Study aims to compare two treatment modalities for treatment of transverse fractures of tibia. One is Intramedullary interlocking nail and the other is dynamic compression plate.
To compare the surgical outcomes between avulsion fracture of the Achilles tendon and conventional Achilles tendon rupture, collected and analysed information of patients preoperatively and postoperatively.
Hip fracture in the elderly is a worldwide public health issue and a medical challenge for early postoperative rehabilitation. More than 2 million people are treated annually with an annual incidence between 100 and 300/100,000 (USA, Europe, China), resulting in a cost of billion dollars and a strain on most surgical facilities. In this context, an early surgical management of patient with fracture within the first 24-48h has been shown to reduce morbidity, length of hospital stay and mortality. During the Covid-19 pandemics, a higher risk of 30-day mortality has been reported in patients with pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed 0-2 weeks, 3-4 weeks and 5-6 weeks before surgery compared with patients who did not have a pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, this risk seems to disappear in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 ≥ 7 weeks before surgery. These findings led to propose delayed elective surgery when the benefit-risk ratio was acceptable (cancer, cardiac surgeries). However, delaying surgery in COVID-19 patients (with high risk of immune and thrombotic disorders) with hip fracture could be questionable as the risk related to COVID-19 could be counteracted by the risk delayed surgery. For assessing the mortality risk related to hip fracture surgery associated with COVID-19, we decided to use the French national hospital discharge records database for comparing the 30-day postoperative mortality in patients with hip fracture and with or without an hospitalization for SARS-COV-2 infection in the 30 previous days before surgery.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cryotherapy in the early period pain treatment of elderly patients with rib fractures due to blunt thoracic trauma.In this prospective randomized controlled study, geriatric patients were assigned to groups to receive either coolant spray (n=51) or placebo spray (n=50). To the coolant spray group patients,a coolant spray was applied. To the placebo group patients, a normal saline solution in a bottle covered with white opaque paper and refrigerated at 4 °C was sprayed. The visual analog scale (VAS) scores of all patients were recorded before starting spray application (V 0 ), at 10th minute (V 1 ), 20th minute (V 2 ), 30th minute (V 3 ), 60th minute (V 4 ), 120th minute (V 5 ), and 360th minute (V 6 ). The mean decreases in the VAS scores and the mean of the percentage of reduction in the VAS scores were calculated.
This study will address medical devices manufactured by Biomet Microfixation (d.b.a. Zimmer Biomet) designed for fixation and stabilization of the facial and mandibular skeleton.
The patient with hip fracture who has Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ≥ 5 at rest or on movement will be indicated for USG FICB at Emergency Department or patient's ward. The aim of this prospective observation study was evaluated the efficacy and complications of cFICB in adult hip fracture preoperatively.
