Filter by:Neck of femur fractures are common in the elderly and are the source of significant morbidity and mortality. This study is based on a new technique developed in Ben Gurion University, with which investigators are able to asses the structural 3 dimensional strength of a bone by applying a unique simulation on a CAT scan of the bone. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk of a contralateral neck of femur fracture after the first neck of femur fracture and to estimate the potential fracture characteristics.
CPC REGISTRY is a multi-center, international, prospective, open-label, observational study on the use of injectable calcium phosphate cements for the treatment of bone defects in adults. All patients will be treated with any of the two injectable calcium phosphate bone substitutes (GRAFTYS®HBS/GRAFTYS®Quickset or their private labels) according to standard clinical practice and according to the information provided by GRAFTYS manufacturer in respective device Instructions For Use (IFU).
This study is set to evaluate a proposed standard for the treatment of proximal humerus fractures
Ereth et al. showed in 1992, using transesophageal echocardiography, that the implantation of a hip prosthesis may be complicated by intracardiac embolization of various origin. A patent foramen ovale exists in approximately one fifth of the population; it facilitates the passage of embolus from the right heart to the left one and then especially to the coronary vessels and to the brain. The hypothesis supported in this research is that the prevalence of postoperative complications, especially neurological ones, is increased after surgery for hip fracture when patients have a patent foramen ovale.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if prediction of general anaesthesia level by the Smartpilot® View device can improve the quality of anaesthesia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
In trauma surgery and hand surgery treatment strategies of none healing bone fractures aim at replacing pseudarthrosis by well vascularized bone and improving microcirculation. Although previous studies indicate that remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) can accelerate bone healing in case of non-union, only a few studies focused on the elucidation of its mechanisms of action. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the microcirculatory effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on scaphoid bones and metacarpal bones and metatarsal bones in a human in-vivo setting for the first time.
This multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study will assess bone differences in women and men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without fragility fractures.
This Study is being done because the investigators would like to know if pain and hand function after having a boxer's fracture differs between being treated with supportive splinting or without splinting, but with behavioral modifications.
A higher number than expected of patients with hip fracture have only insufficient analgesic effect of a femoral nerve block, which is the nerve block commonly used for this group of patients. One of the possible causes of this failure to provide analgesia from a single nerve block could be the that other nerves are involved in transmitting the pain signal. One of the nerves that is believed to give off branches to the hip is the obturator nerve. With ultrasound it is possible to make a selective proximal nerve block of the obturator nerve. The aim of this trial is to test the analgesic effect of a femoral nerve block i combination with an obturator nerve block compared to femoral nerve block alone in a randomized and placebo controlled design.
1. INTRODUCTION AND MAIN OBJECTIVES The incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis after an inter-block scalénique varies between 30 and 100% in the literature. Its clinical impact is mostly absent and paralysis regresses after the block lifted. When it is suspected, it can be diagnosed by a chest radio, showing an elevation of the dome. The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis by measuring the thickness diaphragmatic as quantitative assessment of diaphragmatic contraction noninvasive ultrasound scan and feasibility of this measure in SSPI unit (post-interventional monitoring unit) with scan (ultrasound) in the usual way used for the block under ultrasound scan. 2. STUDY TYPE Prospective, single-center clinical study routine care involving 50 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo surgical procedures in the area of the shoulder or arm for which locoregional analgesia inter-block type scalénique or supraclavicular ultrasound scan is indicated below. 3. START OF THE STUDY February 2014 with an expected duration of six months.
