Filter by:Hip fracture is a common cause of surgery, especially in elderly patients. Unilateral spinal anesthesia in hip fracture surgery can prevent the undesirable effects of spinal anesthesia due to sympathetic blockade. However, severe pain in hip fracture patients limits the positioning required for unilateral spinal anesthesia. The sedation and analgesia required to position patients with fractured hip remains inferior may cause respiratory depression, hemodynamic instability or postoperative cognitive impairment, especially in elderly patients. Lower extremity peripheral blocks can be used preoperatively to minimize the use of sedatives that may be required during positioning and to provide effective and safe analgesia.
Shoulder fractures are painful injuries and are the third most common fracture in adults. More and more people are having these injuries each year. Problems such as pain, swelling and lack of movement and strength can last for many months and some people never get back to their previous levels of ability with the injured arm. Information that is given to people following this injury can be very difficult to understand. To improve the information that is given to people following a shoulder fracture, it is necessary to understand what it is like to live with a shoulder fracture and what is important to people recovering from this injury. This study will interview people who have had a shoulder fracture at around one month and around 4-6 months after their injury. These people will be identified from a physiotherapy waiting list. The interviews will explore people's views on their injury, their recovery and how their needs and priorities change over time.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess patient reported outcome measures of adult patients who are diagnosed with a distal radius fracture and treated with a patient-specific 3D printed splint as compared to a control cohort. Patients receive routine immobilization procedure with a patient-specific 3D printed splint instead of the use of a conventional forearm splint after one week of conventional immobilization. The main study parameters are patient reported outcome measures related to comfort and satisfaction of the medical aid. This will be measured qualitatively with a semi-structured interview and quantitively using questionnaires.
This study is a randomized controlled experimental research with pretest-posttest control group. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the training prepared in line with the fracture liaison service model on the level of frailty, care dependency and fear of movement in patients undergoing hip surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are as follows: - Does the training provided to patients undergoing hip surgery in line with the fracture liaison service model have an effect on the level of frailty of patients? - Does the training provided to patients undergoing hip surgery in line with the fracture liaison service model have an effect on patients' care dependency? - Does the education given to patients undergoing hip surgery in line with the fracture liaison service model have an effect on patients' fear of movement? It is very important to prevent secondary fractures that may occur in patients undergoing hip surgery. Therefore, the most appropriate prevention interventions to reduce fractures in patients depend on the risk profile and the place of education for hospitalized patients is very important. In this study, Personal Information Collection Form, Patient Follow-up Form, Edmonton Frailty Scale, Causes of Kinesiophobia Scale and Care Dependency Scale will be applied to control and intervention group patients. It is planned to provide training to the intervention group patients in line with the fracture liaison service model. This study will evaluate the effect of the training on patients' level of frailty, care dependency and fear of movement.
Rib fractures are seen in more than 50% of patient spresenting with blunt chest trauma and are associated with significant morbidity, long-term disability and mortality . Many of these adverse consequences are a result ofinadequately controlled pain which hinders respiration,leading to atelectasis, pneumonia and respiratory failure . The early provision of adequate analgesia is thereforeparamount in the management of these patients. The cornerstones of analgesic management are oral andintravenous medications such as paracetamol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatorydrugs(NSAIDs) and opioids. Nevertheless, in patients with more significant injuries orcomorbidities, interventional procedures are often neededto provide adequate analgesia and avoid opioid-relatedadverse effects .
Alveolar ridge expansion is suggested for alveolar crest thicknesses of 3-5 mm. Osseodensification (OD) and screw expansion (SE) techniques have been utilized to expand narrow alveolar ridges (NAR). This study aims to compare the implant stability quotient (ISQ) values of endosteal dental implants (DIs) inserted into NAR via osseodensification versus manual screw expansion.
When assessing an injured child, doctors must decide whether or not there is an underlying bony fracture. The current way of doing this is by x-ray. In 2011, 46,000 children attended Sheffield Children's Hospital Emergency Department and 10,400 x-rays were taken - predominately for diagnosis of fractures. For foot and wrist, 2,215 x-rays were 'normal' with no fracture, at a cost of £119,610 (at a tariff of £54 per x-ray). Considering the cost and undesired effect of radiation exposure, a better way to discriminate those patients with fracture is needed. The non-invasive technique of thermal imaging holds promise as a putative technique. The investigators have earlier demonstrated the potential of thermal imaging for vertebral fractures, diagnosing limp and measuring respiration rate. This study investigates thermal imaging to screen for wrist fractures. The objectives are: (i) accurately identify fracture location, (ii) exclude cases that are sprain and thus reduce the need for their x-ray. The confirmation of a fracture would still require a x-ray. As the study is in collaboration with Sheffield Children's Hospital, only children will be included, however the findings will also be applicable to adults. Thermal imaging is a completely safe and harmless operation, as the camera is non-contact and emits no radiation. Any trauma, such as a wrist fracture, results in changes in blood flow that in turn affects the skin surface temperature of the skin overlying the injury. These changes affect the amount of emitted infrared radiation and will be recorded and explored to find a marker to differentiate fractures and sprains.
Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures treated by hand therapists. These patients are most conservatively treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization. Since there is an immobilization process after both treatments, a limitation in the range of motion of the joint occurs in patients. For this reason, most of the treatment models applied in rehabilitation are about restoring the range of motion of the joint. In general, kinesiophobia occurs due to joint limitation and pain. Loss of proprioception occurs in patients with mobility and desire as a result of kinesiophobia. By investigating the techniques used in rehabilitation, the more correct one for the patient can be selected. There is no clear result in the literature about which of the application methods is more effective. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) based stretching and Mulligan mobilization on pain, proprioception (joint position sense), wrist functionality, muscle strength and kinesiophobia in patients with joint limitation after distal radius end fracture. Thirty-four individuals aged 18-65 who were referred to a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program after distal radius end fracture will be included in the study. Individuals will be randomized into two groups. In the study, algometer and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the pain intensity of the patients, universal goniometer for the evaluation of the forearm and wrist joint range of motion, microFET®2 Digital Handheld Dynamometer for the evaluation of the strength of the wrist flexor and extensor muscles, ulnar and radial deviation muscles. device will be used. The functional use of the wrist of the individuals is using the patient-based wrist assessment questionnaire (Patient Graded Wrist Assessment PRWE), the sense of attachment position for proprioception, and the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) for kinesiophobia. In our study, an exercise program will be applied with a physiotherapist for 6 weeks, 2 days a week, 45 minutes. To the first group; In addition to the traditional treatment, Mulligan mobilization will be applied, and the second group will be applied to the PNF techniques, 'hold-relax' in addition to the traditional treatment. It can be considerable that both techniques applied in our study may have positive effects on pain, kinesiophobia and proprioception.
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of long-duration low-intensity therapeutic ultrasound (LITUS) to alleviate bone-fracture related pain over a 12-week period. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of LITUS in subjects suffering from bone-fracture pain. Secondary objectives are to assess the ability of LITUS to improve patients return to work time.
The study evaluates, in 3 emergency departments (ED) and on randomized alternate periods, the use of SmartUrgences®, Augmented Intelligence (AI) software to help the interpretation of bone standard X-rays prescibed by the ED.
