Filter by:This study aim to describe the presence, type and size of Corona mortis (CMOR) in patients undergoing total extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair procedures. This study also aim to describe the preperitoneal vascular anatomy of inguinal area and provide in vivo knowledge about CMOR.
This is a prospective randomized study conducted on 30 patients with an age spanning between 20 and 55 years. Half of the sample was treated by tension band wiring for closed medial malleolar fractures, and the other half by two cannulated screws. The patients were assessed at (6w-3months and 6months) for clinical and radiological union and evaluated functionally (12 months) using modified Olerund and Molander scoring system.
This study evaluates the sensitivity of Ultrasound for Diagnostic of Fractures of the upper extremity compared to conventional x-ray in Children 0-18.
Background and purpose: Hip fracture, a common injury occurred in people aged over 50, may result in disability, poor quality of life, and higher care stress for their families. Aging population and growing number of hip fractures have increased medical expenses, so developed countries implemented post-acute care (PAC) to reduce acute hospitalization, and to improve the quality of care. PAC services can be delivered by hospital/facility-based and home-based services. Previous studies showed that both services could significantly improve patients' activities of daily living and quality of life, and reduce readmissions, long-term care and costs. Taiwan has implemented PAC plan for hip fractures since 2017, but relevant evidences are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of PAC for patients with hip fractures.
Spinal anesthesia (SA) is a widely accepted anesthetic technique for hip fracture repair among elderly. Positioning for SA can be extremely painful. Effective management of pain is important for these patients comfort. Fascia Iliaca block (FIB) and Femoral nerve blocks are commonly used for analgesia in hip fracture patients. However, they often provide a modest reduction in pain. The Percapsular Nerve Group block (PENG Block) has the advantage that it covers the accessory obturator nerve. Aim of the study: compare FIB with PENG prior to positioning hip fracture patients for standardized SA. In a prospective randomized double blind we included 80 patients aged more than 65 years old, for whom pain was felt when raising the affected limb to 15 degrees. Patients were assigned to receive either ultrasound guided Fascia Iliaca block or Percapsular Nerve Group block using 20 mL Lidocaine 1.5% in both groups. We compared pain on positioning for spinal anesthesia using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS 0 = no pain , VRS 1 = mild pain, t 2= severe pain) for both groups. We also recorded different times to perfom block.
The purpose of this trial is to compare operating room time between conventional treatment techniques [without Virtual surgical Planning (VSP)] versus treatment with use of Virtual surgical Planning (VSP) in patients that undergo mandibular reconstruction via open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).
In this observational study researchers want to gather more information about bone fractures and survival in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients treated with radium-223 in routine clinical practice in Sweden. The goal is to estimate the proportion of new cases (incidence) of symptomatic bone fractures and to estimate the proportion of death occurred in years of observation time per person (person years). Radium-223 (Ra-223) is an alpha particle-emitting radioactive agent approved for the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
This is a prospective randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase 2, three-month study of the efficacy of abaloparatide in postmenopausal women and men ≥ 50 years of age with acute fractures of the pelvis (n=78). The primary outcome is CT image based evidence of fracture healing. The secondary aims are pain and physical performance measures at 3 months. This study will be extended with 9 months of open label abaloparatide to determine if any potential differences between the placebo and abaloparatide groups during the 3 months of treatment are evident and persist over time, even in patients who use abaloparatide after the three-month placebo controlled intervention.
Boys aged 9-12 years, with a history of facture will be asked to stand on one of two vibrating platforms for 10 minutes on 5 consecutive days. The investigators will take blood samples before and after the vibration to measure changes in the bone cells.
This prospective, randomized study included patients aged over 65 years with basicervical fracture of femur from January 2016 to January 2018. The permuted block randomization method was used to randomize participants into groups. The patients were allocated to one of two groups treated via cephalomedullary nail (CMN) or sliding hip screw (SHS). Functional and radiological evaluations was included the mobility score, Harris hip score, modified Barthel index, the Singh index, the tip-apex distance, and fracture settling.
