Filter by:the purpose of the study is to: 1. Identify and characterize drug related problems in patients after a femur neck fracture that are hospitalized in the orthopedic department at "Meir" medical center. 2. Evaluate the contribution of a clinical pharmacist in identifying,characterizing and preventing drug related problems in patients after a femur neck fracture that are hospitalized in the orthopedic department at "Meir" medical center.
This post-market surveillance research project consists of data collection at specified time points using standard questionnaire instruments to compare pain level, mobility and function pre and post procedure using the D-Fine StabiliT® Vertebral Augmentation System and StabiliT® Bone Cement, an FDA approved product used in the standard treatment of vertebral compression fractures.
The absence of methodologically, prospectively and retrospectively collected information on the use of the Quadrilateral Surface Plate (QSP) in the given indication requires a multicenter approach. Using a registry to get more information about the effectiveness and possible benefits or complications during the surgery and during the post-operative treatment is adequate and necessary to get new insights to the use of the Quadrilateral Surface Plate.
Geriatric patients (age ≥ 65 years) undergo surgery for hip fractures that develops due to osteoporosis and falls. Dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular comorbidity. Elective or urgent surgical operations may be required for geriatric patients with end stage renal disease. These patients have severe comorbidities, fluid, electrolyte disturbances and drug metabolism abnormalities during the perioperative period. For this reasons a careful anesthesia plan should be planned and performed. Spinal anesthesia can be used for hip fracture surgery at geriatric patients with chronic renal failure. Anterograde femoral intramedullary nailing can be performed in supine position with a fracture table. Intraoperative sedation might be necessary for patients under regional anesthesia on traction table. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2 receptor agonist that is being used as an agent for its sedative and adjuvant analgesic effects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine premedication on geriatric patients with end stage renal disease, who will be undergoing a surgical operation for hip fracture under spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine and BIS (Bispectral Index) guided sedation with intraoperative propofol infusion.
The aim of the study is to compare fracture healing, quality of life, pain, and cost of care of the use of CERAMENT™|BONE VOID FILLER as bone graft substitute to the use of autologous cancellous bone graft (iliac crest) in the treatment of patients with tibia fractures treated by internal fixation and void reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether ultrasonography guidance compare with the simple radiography aids in determining the adequacy of distal radius fracture reduction.
The recovery of range of motion and muscle power after surgical intervention of the fracture will mostly affect patient's daily activities. So postoperative rehabilitation program will play the important role. Correct and effective physical therapy will reduce the functional impairment of limbs after long term casting or surgical fixation, and accelerate to recover the independent daily activities. There is no consensus between immediate or delay and the duration of continue physical therapy will improve the shoulder function、muscle power and degree of satisfaction( physiological function、social function、mental health、 pain、 general health status ) after surgical fixation of fractures. This study will evaluate the patients of the fracture that including of the humeral neck fracture, vertebral fracture, distal radial fracture and hip fractures after surgical fixation, to see the difference of fracture healing time, function recovery and pain sensation after intervention of physical therapy at different time point. From this study, we hope to discriminate the timing of intervention and duration of physical therapy which is the key factors for postoperative prognosis of fractures fixation, and to set up the perfect rehabilitation program in ChangHua Christian Hospital. The results of this study will improve the discomfort of fracture patient's recovery or reduce the complications rate, and set up the standard treatment policy of our hospital , also was the model of other hospitals.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether all frail elderly admitted with hip fracture has a vitamin D deficiency, and if s-25(OH)D deficiency increases the risk of hip fracture in frail elderly. Frail elderly are defined as being 65 years of age or older, and living in nursing homes or senior housings. The investigators' hypotheses state that: 1. Frail elderly with hip fractures will have a suboptimal level of vitamin D. 2. Frail elderly with hip fractures are more likely to have a suboptimal level of vitamin D than frail elderly without any hip fractures during the last ten years.
The aim of this study is to present a novel Intramedullary Nail (IMN) made of CFR - PEED composite, that is biomechanically tailored to closely match cortical bone. This IMN should promote fracture healing and prevent stress shielding osteopenia. Case records of patients with humurus shaft fracture will be retrospectively reviewed to determine whether the implant promotes bone healing.
The purpose of this study is to determine if US-guided supraclavicular anesthetic blocks reduce postoperative pain, use of rescue medication, and improve functional outcomes in children who underwent surgery for supracondylar humerus fractures.
