Filter by:Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are the third most common non-vertebral fractures in the elderly. Most elderly experience loss of function following a PHF regardless of treatment. A Cochrane review from 2015 concluded that surgical management is not superior to non-surgical management, and that the optimal non-surgical management after PHF is not known. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of usual rehabilitation care after displaced PHF compared with one-time physiotherapy instruction.
Researchers plan a 2022 follow-up of medical records data to investigate fracture incidence and survival for 1248 women, born 1902-1931, in a comparative fracture prevention study with 435 participants from an intervention area and 813 participants from two control areas. In 2022 researchers want to assess patient records data in intervention and control areas and compare A) Survival B) Risk factors for osteoporotic fractures (wrist, upper arm, vertebral, pelvic, hip) C) physical activity, exercise and drugs that affect fracture risk.
The study is a monocentric, retrospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Reconstruction System (implants and instrumentation) when used for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of fractures during the normal healing process. The primary objective is the assessment of performance by analyzing fracture healing. The secondary objectives are the assessment of safety by recording and analyzing the incidence and frequency of complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified. Subjects' outcomes will also be assessed.
This is an observational, prospective and multicenter clinical investigation that is part of the active materiovigilance plan that Orthofix Srl, in agreement with its Notified Body. The sponsor has planned to actively collect clinical data relating to the use of Chimaera Intramedullary Nail in a representative number of users and elderly patients with fractures of the proximal femur. The data obtained from this clinical investigation will be used to complete the pre-market clinical evaluation carried out on the Chimaera with post-market clinical data from the use of the device in normal clinical practice.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Insignia™ Hip Stem for global market access and post-market clinical follow-up up to 10 years postoperative.
To define a serum protein-based diagnostic for the progression and failure of fracture healing, through the identification of a set of serum proteins that appear at early times of biological healing and show a specific correlation with later radiological and functional signs used to define delayed healing and non-union.
Patients with COVID undergoing hip fracture repair have high mortality rates. If spinal anesthesia is associated with decreased rates of mortality, this study could provide hypothesis generating data for prospective studies. Investigators hypothesize that spinal anesthesia (SA) is associated with decreased mortality compared to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The primary objective is to determine for patients undergoing hip surgery with COVID-19 infection, whether SA, as compared to GA, is associated with a lower rate of mortality 30 days postoperatively. The secondary objective is to determine whether SA, as compared to GA, is associated with a lower rate of morbidity 30 days postoperatively. Investigators will be analyzing a data set provided by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Descriptive statistics will be performed. Multivariable logistic regression will be performed for the primary and secondary objectives.
Over the course of a year from the start of the research study, twenty subjects will be randomized evenly into one of two groups after an informed consent is obtained: a traditional tight rope fixation group or a tight rope fixation with an anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) repair augmentation with an internal brace group. Subjects in both groups will acquire a bilateral WBCT pre-operatively and 6 weeks post-operatively at Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists office. A within group statistical analyses will compare the volume of the syndesmosis acquired by the WBCT at 6 weeks.
The investigators goal of the proposed research study is to determine the effectiveness of periarticular multimodal analgesia in the setting of tibial plateau fractures. Effectiveness of the multimodal analgesia is defined as lower pain scores.
To investigate the feasibility and short-term clinical efficacy of the arthrography-assisted joystick technique for the treatment of adolescent transitional ankle fracture.
