Filter by:The INTACT-HIP trial study will evaluate feasibility of conducting a randomized, double-blinded controlled trial comparing postoperative treatment with intravenous (IV) acetaminophen versus oral acetaminophen, in older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. The results of this feasibility trial will be used to inform designing a larger, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of IV acetaminophen compared to oral acetaminophen to reduce delirium and improve other clinical and patient-centered outcomes after hip fracture surgery. It will randomize 42 older adults to receive either oral or IV acetaminophen after hip fracture surgery.
This prospective randomized clinical trial will compare outcomes between patients treated primarily with a prophylactic antibiotic coated nail and those treated with traditional standard of care intramedullary (IM) nailing.
The purpose of this study is to assess the applicability and potential benefits of Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) or Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet ("LANT) versus locoregional anesthesia (LRA) and tourniquet in osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures (DRF) during the immediate postoperative period. Our hypothesis is that being able to avoid the use of a limb tourniquet in such a procedure may cause less swelling and better surgical wound appearance in the immediate postoperative period, without compromising pain level, patient satisfaction, or improving the number of complications. In this regard, prospective randomized study was designed comparing short term results of patients who were operated using WALANT (A) to locoregional anesthesia (LRA) and tourniquet (B). Main outcomes were pain, swelling and patient satisfaction. Surgical wound bleeding,mobility, surgeon's technical difficulty, insufficient anesthesia and complications were also evaluated.
The aim of this study is to investigate complication rates and clinical outcome following mobilization and pain-dependent full weight-bearing in a large cohort of patients with surgically treated ankle fractures. The study design is a pragmatic, multi-center, multi-surgeon, prospective outcome study. Included will be adult patients with any isolated ankle fracture which was treated surgically without additional syndesmotic stabilization (suture-button or syndesmotic screw). Patients included are advised to conduct pain-dependent full weight-bearing without immobilization starting at the day of study inclusion. Follow-up points are 6 weeks, 3-, 6-, and 12 months. Data assessment include radiographic follow-up, complication assessment, return to work/sports, rang of ankle motion, and patient-rated outcome scores (MoxFQ, EFAS, OMAS, EQ-5D-5L). The primary outcomes are complications at 3 months and patient-rated outcome at 12 months. The sample size calculation revealed a final total sample size of 360 patients.
To determine if patients with intraoperative cryoablation have better analgesia results compared to the control group of Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures (SSRF) without cryoablation
Ankle fractures constitute 9% of all fractures and have an incidence of approximately 187 per 100,000 persons per year in Norway. A posterior malleolar fragment (PMF), located on the lower backside of the tibia, is present in up to 46% of Weber B. Weber B fractures are the most common type of fractures of the fibula, located at the height of the syndesmosis. Patients with a PMF were recently shown to have significantly lower patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) than the general population. For this reason, the indication and choice of intervention for these fractures have been the object of increased interest over the recent years. It is one of the most debated areas within ankle fracture surgery. Traditionally, these PMFs have been treated with closed reduction, without direct manipulation of the PMF, anteroposterior screw fixation, or even no-fixation of the smaller fragments. A more novel posterior approach to the ankle for open reduction and internal fixation is increasingly popular and has led to fixation of smaller and medium-sized PMFs. Studies suggest fracture reduction is better with a posterior approach. However, there is no consensus as to what the best treatment is. There are no available randomized controlled studies examining PROM in patients after surgery with fixation versus no fixation for the PMF. Through a multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial initiated from Haukeland University Hospital, patients will be recruited and randomized to receive treatment with or without fixation of the PMF. Patients will be recruited at six study hospitals from all Regional Health Trusts in Norway. Treatment today is often based on local tradition and retrospective, ambiguous literature. As there is no clear evidence supporting the choice to fixate, or not fixate, the posterior malleolus fracture. The current study can contribute new knowledge and thereby contribute to an evidence-based approach to treating these patients. Mason and Molly type 2A and 2B fractures will be included in the study.
Stability dictates treatment choice for trans-syndesmotic fibula fractures. Optimal treatment for partially unstable fractures remains a topic of debate. The purpose of this study is to evaluate possible outcome non-inferior of functional orthosis treatment versus cast immobilization for these fractures.
Thirty-seven patients diagnosed with femoral fracture to be treated with a compatible plate will be enrolled for this multicenter prospective interventional study. The Fracture Monitor T1 will be attached to the locking plate during osteosynthesis. Prior to discharge, it will be connected to an app installed either on the patients' smartphone or on the smartphone provided by the sponsor. The device will continuously collect and process data, which can automatically be downloaded via Bluetooth through the smartphone app and transferred in encrypted form to a dedicated cloud server. The smartphones will be equipped with a basic app version with rudimentary user interface that has no data visualization function. During the rehabilitation phase, data collected by the device will not be accessible to the surgeon nor the patient to ensure that no therapeutic decision will be made based on the acquired data. Every patient is treated as per standard of care. The primary objective of the study is to collect safety information of the Fracture Monitor T1. The secondary objectives are to collect information on device performance, device handling, and usability. All adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) will be recorded during the study. These will be reviewed and evaluated for their potential relationship to the device. All patients will be followed up for 6 months after the surgery according to the local standard of care. Given that the removal of the Fracture Monitor T1 may occur beyond 6 months, a safety follow-up will take place at the time point when the Fracture Monitor T1 is removed as per the instructions for use if it has not been removed within the 6 months. The results will be compiled into a clinical evaluation report to be submitted as part of the technical documentation for the conformity assessment procedure.
Lateral condyle fracture of the distal humerus is the second most common injury around the elbow and accounts for 20% of all the elbow fractures in children.The average age for the fracture involving the lateral condyle is around six years. There are different treatment options of the lateral condyle fractures include - non-operative management with plaster cast immobilization for undisplaced or minimally displaced fractures. - Whereas the fractures displaced >2 mm need operative management. The objective of treatment in the displaced fracture is to obtain and maintain the articular congruity. In the operative management, the reduction technique includes open or closed methods.
The distal end of the radius is defined as the area three centimeters proximal to the radio carpal joint, where the radius interfaces with the lunate and scaphoid bone of the wrist. A fracture of the distal radius is usually caused by falling on the outstretched arm. The majority of distal radial fractures are closed injuries in which the overlying skin remains intact. Pain, swelling, bruising, deformity and deformity in the forearm or wrist are common. In women, the incidence of distal radial fracture increases with age from 40 years. The objective of this study will be to determine the Effects of Concentric exercises with and without mulligan wrist mobilization on pain, grip strength, Range of motion and function after distal radius fracture. This study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in District Head Quarter hospital sheikhupura. The study will be completed in time duration of six months after the approval of synopsis and convenience sampling technique will be used. 18 subjects will be divided in two groups. Group A will follow concentric exercises at wrist including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, pronation, supination and wrist mobilizations with movements while group B will follow only wrist concentric exercises treatment. MWM based on Mulligan's Recommendation that the patient should not experience any pain. The Location and direction of the glide could be modified so that the MWM was pain free, as advocated in the Mulligan concept. This study will be of 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week. Data will be collected by all participants before 1st session after 6th session and at the end of 12th session by using NPRS, Hand Dynamometer, Goniometer and Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation score. Data will be analyzed by SPSS-25.
