It is widely accepted in the literature that quality of acetabular fracture reduction is one of the most important factor for the outcome. To obtain best results, anatomical reduction has to be obtained. Intra-operative radiographic assessment depends mainly on plain x-ray. Plain x-ray alone is not enough for post-operative assessment as it depends mainly on reduction of the dome with concentricity of the hip.
The best treatment for the open tibia fractures remains controversial. It is unknown whether minimally invasive locking plate or reamed intramedullary nail fixation will result in lower complication rates and better function.
- Evaluate the role of VAC in decreasing the time needed for soft tissue coverage and definitive fixation in open IIIB tibial fractures
Comparison of short segment mono axial and poly axial pedicle screw fixation in thoracolumbar fractures regarding the best correction of the fracture and deformity and the maintenance of the correction.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that increases the risk of fractures. People aged 50-65 diagnosed with osteoporosis feel too young to have the disease. But this happens. They need to learn how to modify their lifestyle to minimize the chances of fractures. In this age group, a wrist fracture is usually the first sign of osteoporosis. Fracture risk increases if they are not taught to exercise, eat properly, and identifies fall risk factors early in their diagnosis. Some studies have looked at interventions for osteoporosis in women over the age of 65, but by this age they have likely already had a spine fracture. No studies have addressed the early-onset osteoporosis age group, intervening before spine fractures occur. I will develop an exercise, nutrition, and falls prevention education program to improve the strength, balance and knowledge of people aged 50-65 who had an osteoporotic wrist fracture. I will use this treatment approach and determine if it is more effective than the usual way of treating people with wrist fractures, determining if this is a better strategy for managing osteoporosis. I will have two groups of patients. First, those, over six weeks, receive twice weekly classes that include exercise and education. Here the focus is on bone health and fracture prevention. The control will receive usual physical therapy and the educational materials at the end of their study participation. The treatment will be randomly allocated to 74 men and women between the ages of 50-65 years of age who are 6-10 weeks post-fracture. The outcomes on both groups will be assessed and compared. I will focus on hand function, balance, fall hazard detection, and a bone health behaviour checklist. Using these outcomes, I can determine which treatment approach works best. Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in five men, making this an important study to improve the lives for many Canadians. The risk of osteoporosis fractures increases with age, making early interventions critical.
The study would like show that patients who follow a protocol with GMI are less probability to develop CRPS
This is a prospective case series of elderly adult patients sustaining pertrochanteric fractures who will be treated by a proximal femoral nail with a non-helical (straight) blade. This study seeks to observe and evaluate the outcomes, advantages and complication rates in using the HERACLES PFN with a non-helical (T-shaped parallel) blade.
This study will evaluate the use of free autologous dermal fat grafting (also called free dermal fat autografting) to treat complex craniofacial wounds that have failed standard treatment and to understand how well these grafts work to repair wounds long term. Patients who have undergone free autologous dermal fat grafting to treat complex craniofacial wounds less than 1 week ago will have photographs and small biopsies taken of the area that was grafted. Patients will be followed for 2 years to monitor the area that was grafted.
In patients with angle fracture , will the (K) shaped titanium miniplates provide more stable fixation than two conventional miniplates? Many studies have been conducted to compare between different techniques of fixation used in angle fracture fixation. The driving force behind this study was to design a new plate that would overcome the disadvantages of the other plating techniques but has the advantages & simplicity of the Champy technique (simple intraoral approach and few major complications). This new miniplate gives more biomechanical stability than the conventional Champy plate. More over the placement of a 3D miniplate or two separate miniplates for fixing angle fractures is more difficult and mostly will require a transbuccal approach , with increased surgical trauma, longer operation time unlike the new plate that could provide the clinician with a simple and reliable solution.
