Assessment of Serum Concentration of Interleukin-17 and Osteoprotegerin in Response to Surgical Trauma Induced by Management of Mandibular Fractures via Intraoral Versus Extraoral Approaches: Prospective Cohort Study
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with rib fractures who undergo cryoablation of the intercostal nerves have improved pain control 7 days from procedure when compared to those who have a ESP catheter.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the hypothesis that there are none difference in the treatment result of orthognathic surgery on the lower jaw, with interoperative wisdom tooth removal rather than preoperative wisdom tooth removal. In patients with severe dental malocclusion combined with a dentofacial deformity. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is there a difference in the degree of complication and the patient's perception, with inter-operative wisdom tooth removal rather than pre-operative wisdom tooth removal. Participants will be will be divided into two groups, with one group having their wisdom teeth removed 6 months before their jaw moving surgery and the other group having their wisdom teeth removed in connection with their jaw moving surgery.
This is a multi-center, pragmatic, parallel arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 352 patients with high-risk open or closed tibial plateau fracture, high-risk open or closed tibial pilon fracture, or open tibial shaft fracture with incision >3cm. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) or a non-suction standard-of-care wound dressing for their definitive wound management. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status 3 months after randomization. The secondary outcomes will independently assess the components of the primary outcome.
This study is a prospective, randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy of physician-performed ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block vs fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) block for pain control in acute hip fracture.
The condylar region is the most frequent anatomical site for mandibular fractures . Condylar fractures constitute 25.5% to 35.5% of all mandibular fractures. The mandibular condyle fracture is a type of fracture that affects the condyle, which is the knuckle-like projection of the mandible (lower jaw) that articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
The goal of this feasibility clinical trial is to assess the acceptability of ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block when performed at Emergency Departments for manipulation and temporary stabilization of distal leg and ankle fractures. The trial aims to assess: - The acceptability of sciatic nerve block - The technical feasibility of sciatic nerve block - The technical success of sciatic nerve block - The analgesic efficacy of sciatic nerve block In addition to that, this study aims to - Describe patient-reported and physician-reported satisfaction - Assess the Adverse Event rate at 48 hours post intervention
Orthopedic traumatic injuries are considered a major health epidemic, challenged by high morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic burden. The management of traumatic orthopedic injuries is challenging and complex, with high resources utilization. Particularly, the prevalence of femoral fractures in Kuwait is 8.8%, being one of the most prevalent injuries. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a common surgical procedure for the management of femoral fractures demonstrating successful outcome for allowing minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis, early union of 93% to 100%, and low infection rate of only 0% to 2%. Yet, one of the major complications post ORIF is knee stiffness and reduced function, which brings many inconveniences to patients' daily lives, lead to disability, and could seriously threaten the functional activities of patients. The incidence of knee stiffness requiring surgical intervention is 14.5%. Particularly, the potential loss of knee flexion is 30 to 40 degrees, 13% of the patients failed to reach 90 degrees of knee flexion, and only 48% of patients reached >120 degrees of flexion. Ultimately, knee stiffness in flexion forms a major issue in distal femoral fractures. Various reasons could explain such complication including intrinsic adhesions, fibrosis and shortening of the vastus intermedius muscle. There are various surgical procedures which could be used to manage knee stiffness. However, there is no consensus regarding the ideal approach and strategy with many postoperative complications including deep sepsis, quadricep tendon rupture, skin dehiscence and infection, delayed wound healing, patella fracture, lateral femoral condyle fracture and extension lag. In contrast, dry needling (DN) is a minimal invasive intervention for the management of musculoskeletal dysfunction, and it could be used to reduce the adhesion and fibrosis between the vastus intermedius and the femoral bone. However, there is limited research investigating the effect of DN on the vastus intermedius muscle after ORIF of the femoral fractures. The effectiveness of DN was explored for the management of various musculoskeletal conditions, and a systematic review addressing DN in the lower quarter concluded that DN is an effective procedure (Morihisa et a,., 2016). In ACL reconstruction, DN for the vastus medialis improved ROM at short-term and improved function at both short and long term. DN has been proposed as a useful addition to the rehabilitation of ACL reconstructed in reducing pain intensity, increasing knee flexion range, and modifying the mechanical properties of the quadriceps muscle during the late-stage of rehabilitation. DN has also altered the passive mechanical properties of the quadriceps muscle where decrement and resistance of the vastus medialis were significantly reduced. It is hypothesized that releasing the adhesions and fibrosis of the vastus intermedius could play an important role in managing knee stiffness post ORIF of the distal femur fractures. Therefore, the aim of this project is to identify the incidence rate and risk factors of knee stiffness resulted from surgically managed femoral fractures with open reduction and internal fixation in Kuwait, and to investigate the effect of DN on the vastus intermedius muscle in improving knee joint range of motion and function after ORIF of the distal femur using single blind randomized controlled trial (RCT).
The primary objective of this study will be the collection of preliminary clinical evidence to indicate that Cast21 Short Arm Product is no worse than the current standard of care arm immobilization devices in pediatric patients. A secondary objective will be to characterize the clinician and patient experience with the Cast21 Short Arm Product.
