Filter by:This study aims to investigate that performing supracondylar humerus fracture operations during daylight hours may have better results than performing them at night.
participants were randomly divided into three groups : group 30 , group 40 and group 50 . for all the three groups an ultrasound guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block had been performed. for group 30 ,a volume of 30 ml of 0,2 % ropivacaine had been injected for group 40 ,a volume of 40 ml of 0,2 % ropivacaine had been injected for group 50 ,a volume of 50 ml of 0,2 % ropivacaine had been injected
Patients were randomly assigned to tow groups: infrainguinal ultrasound guided iliaca fascia block (FIBSI) and femoral nerve block (FNB) for FIBSI, the probe is placed transversely between anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the pubic spine. The transducer is translated laterally to identify the Sartorius muscle. Cephalic inclination of the probe. The medial end of the transducer faces towards the umbilicus, which is the final position. The 100mm neurostimulation needle is advanced in the In Plan approach to pass through the iliac fascia. Once the correct position is confirmed, 30 ml of 1% Ropivacaine is gradually injected between the iliac fascia and the iliac muscle. For FNB, the probe was placed under the inguinal ligament. The femoral vessels and the nerve section are visualized; The 100mm neurostimulation needle is advanced in the In Plan approach and 30ml of 1% Ropivacaine has been injected along the nerve sheath
A Clavicular fractures (CF) is uncomfortable for the affected patients because the fragments are often strongly displaced by the muscles attached to them and the bony fragments move painfully with every movement of the shoulder. In emergency departments (ED), so far CF has been tackled with drugs that are taken by mouth or injected into a vein. This type of pain management has many side effects since these painkillers act systemically. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of pain relief in CF to be operated using regional anaesthesia. For this purpose, the supraclavicular nerves (SCN), which run directly under the skin of the neck, will be located using an ultrasound device (US). Under US-guidance the injection needle approaches the SCN and 2-3 millilitres of local aesthetic (LA) are injected around the nerves. The pain relief may last 12 up to 24 hours, which bridges the time until the operation (OP). In order to compare this procedure, CF-patients will be divided into two groups, of which the control group (21) will be treated with painkillers in the conventional manner and the intervention group (21) will receive the US-guided block of the SCN. With the small amount of LA injected, adverse events (AE) are very rare. Nevertheless, the puncture in the side of the neck may cause bruises at the site of the injection or uncomfortable, spreading pain. Systemic side effects are unlikely. In the intervention group, the investigators expect a nearly complete pain relief up to the operation than with conventional pain therapy and a lower rate of side effects than with systemic administration of painkillers.
Wrist fractures are a very common event affecting patients of all ages and are estimated to account for approximately 10% -25% of all fractures. 70-90% of fractures are treated with closed reduction and forearm cast. In 2019, 17.4% of wrist fractured patients treated with a plaster cast at the Orthopedic Emergency Department (OED) of the Local Health Unit ("Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale", AUSL) of Piacenza had a second access to the OED for edema, pain or "intolerance to the plaster cast ". In literature, there are several studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of adhesive elastic tape for edema control, mostly lymphedema secondary to breast cancer or post-operative edema after knee arthroplasty, although a definitive evidence is still needed. With this trial, the investigators aim to evaluate the tape effectiveness in counteracting hand edema formation in wrist fractured adult patients treated with forearm cast.
From October 2013 28 patients with proximal tibia fractures (AO/ASIF 41 B-C) were included in this study. According to our treatment algorithm for this entity Patients were assigned into two groups and treated with different polyaxial locking plates (NCB-PT®, Zimmer vs. VA-LCP® Synthes). After 12 months postoperative the investigators conducted clinical and radiological follow-ups.
Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) has been considered the block of choice for patients with hip fracture. However, pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, one of the relatively newly-developed blocks, could be also used for analgesia in patients with hip fracture. Since PENG block could block the accessory obturator nerve, PENG block might have greater analgesic effects compared to FICB theoretically. However, the comparison of these two blocks in patients with hip fracture has not performed in clinical setting. Thus, we aimed to compare the analgesic effect of PENG block and FICB.
In the investigators' prospective randomized study, the investigator will investigate the effect of different bandage types on functional and radiological results of proximal humerus fractures over 18 years of age, for whom conservative treatment is decided. In recent studies, it has been shown that surgical treatment in proximal humerus fractures has a high complication rate and is also not superior to conservative treatments in terms of functional results. Therefore, the importance of conservative treatment is increasing day by day in this group of fractures, especially in elderly patients with high risk for surgery. In these studies in the literature, the method in conservative treatment is not clearly specified, and the investigator will apply 3 different bandages to adjust the rotation of the shoulder in 3 different ways during the investigators' conservative treatment. The investigator will compare functional and radiological results between these groups.
Trauma and soft injuries of the wrist, hand and fingers have a high incidence, and large social and healthcare costs are generated, mainly due to productivity loss. Therapeutic exercises must be part of the treatment and in the last 10 years the scientific literature highlights the need for the inclusion of the sensorimotor system in both surgical and rehabilitative approaches. Current methods as leaflets or videos lacks of adherence control, evolution control and knowledge of how the patient do the exercises which compromise the expected results. Touch-screens of Tablet devices have showed a large potential to cover these needs and for the retraining of sensorimotor system. ReHand is a Tablet digital tool (Android and iOS) to prescribe and monitor exercise programs based on sensorimotor approach and developed under the guidelines of various healthcare professionals (hand surgeons, physiotherapists, rehabilitators and occupational therapists) to implement home exercise programs and monitor patients. Subjects are selected by emergency, hand surgery, rehabilitation and physiotherapy services of six hospitals from Andalusian Public Health Service through consecutive sampling. Concretely, patients over 18 years of age with trauma and soft injuries of the wrist, hand and fingers, no more than 10 days after surgery or removal of immobilization. Experimental group will receive access to ReHand app to perform a monitored home exercises program. Control group will receive the conventional method employed: a home exercise program in paper with recommendations. Clinical variables will be assessed at baseline before group allocation, 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. At the end of the study, cost-utility variables will be analyzed.
Background: Acetabular fractures result from violent trauma, and their incidence has been increasing in recent years. The Kocher-Langenbeck surgical approach is used for the internal fixation of displaced fractures of the posterior structures of the acetabulum. The quality of the reduction and the stability of osteosynthesis directly influence the function of the repaired acetabulum. In the surgical management of acetabulum fractures, 3D printing of a bone model is increasingly used during preoperative planning by trauma surgeons worldwide. Questions: Is there a difference in the surgical time of the Kocher-langenbeck reduction and fixation of the posterior structures of the acetabulum between 3D printing (which allows for shaping of the reconstruction plate prior to surgery) and the conventional technique? Are there any differences in complications between the two techniques? Are there any short-term differences in the functional and radiographic scores between 3D printing and the conventional technique? Methods: 109 consecutive patients who sustained fractures of the acetabulum were screened for inclusion. 43 patient were studied. The first group (G1) consisted of 20 patients who underwent prior molding of the osteosynthesis plate on a 3D-printed model. The second group (G2 or control group) included 23 patients who underwent surgery using the conventional technique. We compared surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, the difference between pre- and postoperative hemoglobin, and the onset of early infection, paralysis of the sciatic nerve, and deep vein thrombosis.
