Filter by:Toddler's fractures of the tibia are by definition non-displaced and of a stable pattern. Children have thickened periosteum compared with adults, which therefore may impart stability to the fracture without the need for additional immobilization. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether or not there is a difference in children treated with and without cast immobilization in regards to time to ambulation; perceived pain; difficulty in dressing & bathing; radiographic displacement or angulation; and time missed from work or daycare. Our null hypothesis is that there will be no difference in clinical or radiographic outcomes between the groups.
This clinical, randomized, and controlled study will provide valuable scientific evidence regarding the effect of adding peripheral nerve blockades to general anaesthesia during ankle surgery. In particular, the investigators want to determine if the need for postoperative opioids will be reduced and whether this will lead to shorter admission to recovery room and fewer instances of side effects such as postoperative nausea and vomiting. In addition, the investigators will determine whether the functional outcome is improved i.e. faster and more successful rehabilitation. This would have profound benefits not only to the individual patient but also to society by reducing expenses during admission, the cost of sick leave etc.
The aim of this study is to determine whether motor imagery training during the immobilisation period in patients with a distal radius fracture, results in an improved functional outcome compared to patients who do not perform motor imagery.
This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study designed to provide bridging data in an Asian population to Amgen's studies of denosumab in subjects with bone metastases from solid tumors. The study is designed to provide data to a large global dataset of phase-III studies including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and all solid tumors, plus multiple myeloma, to support the regulatory approval for marketing and patient access to denosumab for the prevention of SREs in Chinese subjects with bone metastases from solid tumors. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the percent change from baseline to Week 13 in the bone marker urinary amino-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (uNTx) corrected for urine creatinine (uNTx/uCr) in subjects treated with denosumab to those treated with zoledronic acid. The study is designed to test the superiority of denosumab over zoledronic acid.
The purpose of the study is to show that the standardized sending of SMS improve the bone mineral density (BMD) screening of patients seen in the Emergency department for low trauma fracture.
This study is to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture for alleviating pain from Spinal Compression Fracture in Patients Treated with Nerve Block.
Elbow fractures are very common in young children. Type I supracondylar fractures are stable fractures to the elbow that are treated conservatively across the world and typically heal very well without complications. There are several treatment options, including an above elbow cast or long arm splint. This study aims to determine if one treatment is no worse than the other in order to standardize the treatment of these fractures at our institution. The investigators hope to save families from extra hospital visits and reduce the amount of x-rays required for treatment of these fractures.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of surgical fixation (cancellous screws versus sliding hip screws) and biologic intervention (Vitamin D versus placebo) on patient important outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate function, pain and radiographic evaluation in patients treated with volar locked plating versus Hoffman II bridging external fixation in patients with extraarticular distal radius fractures, AO/OTA type A
Hip Fracture (HFx) is a painful injury that is often treated in the Emergency Department (ED) with intravenous opiates. However, this class of medications may cause deleterious side effects. An alternative analgesic approach involves regional anesthesia. The investigators attempted to determine (1) whether ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks (UPNBs) could be safely performed in an ED setting, (2) whether UPNBs would be more effective than standard treatment in controlling pain from HFx and (3) which of two UPNBs was superior for pain relief. A convenience sample of patients with an isolated HFx and a pain score > 5/10 were enrolled and randomized to one of three arms: (1) Ultrasound guided 3-in-1 femoral nerve block (UFNB), (2) Ultrasound guided fascia iliaca compartment block (UFIB), or (3) IVMS. Patients indicated their pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain).
