Filter by:This study will examine the effectiveness of intranasal (IN) ketamine compared to standard intravenous (IV) ketamine administration for simple reductions of orthopaedic injuries in the paediatric population. The aim is to assess if IN administration is equivalent to the current standard of care, IV. The population to be studied is children 4-17 years of age who require a simple orthopaedic reduction. Following a double dummy approach to overcome the difficulty in masking interventions, each participant will receive both IV and IN interventions, only one of which will be the real drug. Procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) will be assessed using the Dartmouth Operative Conditions Scale (DOCS).
The purpose of this study is to confirm that minimally invasive closed reduction and internal fixation with fully threaded headless cannulated compression screws for distal radius fracture repair has advantages over conventional open reduction internal fixation with titanium plates, providing superior fragment stability and allowing for early rehabilitation exercise of the wrist joint, which improves recovery of function. Also to show that minimally invasive closed reduction and internal fixation with fully threaded headless cannulated compression screws is the more suitable surgical method for repair of distal radius fracture.
The primary aim of the study is to create a model; in order to examine the effects of neural trauma in patients that are healthy individuals, induced by controlled nasal fractures during rhinoplasty, and the regeneration process in the weeks/months that follow. This study includes monitoring of subjective nasal symptoms with a visual analogue scale (VAS) score, peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) measurements, collection of nasal secretions and nasal provocation (response to capsaicin and cold dry air (CDA) exposure).
Metabolic therapy in patients with osteoporosis after hip fracture by cooperation orthopedic-rehabilitation-metabolic: Determination of drug treatment regardless of reaching the follow-up clinic
Fractures of the proximal humerus and the humeral head are most common injuries and the management is challenging. Functional therapy with short immobilization, followed by an accelerated physiotherapy protocol, is a simple, convenient, noninvasive, and efficient management option. This prospective randomized study is aim to assess the function of the upper extremity of patients who will be assigned to nonoperative treatment of a proximal humeral fracture. The primary objective is the Constant score. Secondary objectives are the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) instrument, measurement of shoulder range of motion (ROM), pain and depression level with Beck Depression Scale.
It is a prospective randomized controlled study aiming to test if tranexamic acid combined to intravenous iron before and after surgery for hip fracture in elderly can decrease peri-operative red cell transfusion.
This study evaluates the association between traumatic brain injuries and craniofacial or/and skull fractures. Purpose is to find out the amount of missed diagnoses and improve primary diagnostics of trauma patients.
This study aims to evaluate whether a combination of cycling training as part of physiotherapy treatment will contribute more than conventional physiotherapy treatment for elderly patients after hip fracture surgery in their subacute phase of rehabilitation.
Background: Fracture of the clavicle is common accounting for 2.6% to 4 % of all fractures, with an overall incidence of 36.5 to 64 per 100,000 per year. Around 80% of clavicle fractures occur in the middle third of the clavicle. There is a lack of evidence of randomised controlled trials assessing the best treatment of these fractures. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects (benefits and harms) of conservative interventions: figure-of-eight bandage versus sling for the treating middle third clavicle fractures. Methods/Design: this project has been designed as a single-centre, parallel-group randomised controlled trial that will compare figure-of-eight bandage versus sling. The investigators aim to recruit 110 adults, aged 18 years or older, with an acute (less than 10 days) middle third clavicle fracture. Primary outcomes will be function or disability measured by DASH questionnaire; the secondary outcomes will be: modified UCLA score pain, treatment failure, adverse events and numbers returning to previous activities. Data analysis: the chi-square test will be used to analyse the results of categorical variables, and Student t-test will be used to compare groups with respect to the numerical variables. The Student t-test is used to compare the clinical outcome of each group at 1, 2 and 4 weeks and at 6 and 12 months after the intervention. The significance level of 5% (alpha = 0.05) is used for all statistical tests such that tests have a value of less than 0.05 are considered statistically significant. Discussion: According to current evidence there is very limited evidence from two single trials only regarding the effectiveness of different methods of conservative interventions for treating clavicle fractures. This study is one of the first randomised controlled trials following the CONSORT statements designed to compare two conservative methods for treating clavicle fractures (figure-of-eight versus sling).
sports accidents and incidents are relatively frequent. We hypothesize that the pursuit of good hydration, including days without training or competition could prevent their occurrence
