Filter by:Patients with traumatic rib fractures not receiving regional anesthesia through a epidural or nerve block catheter will be recruited for the study. Once enrolled, they will be randomized to receive either intravenous lidocaine or intravenous saline for control of pain related to their rib fractures. In addition, they will receive other pain medications, such as acetaminophen, gabapentin, and opioid pain medications. Our primary outcome is a decrease in their opioid medication requirements.
Older persons are at riskt for falls and fractures. After hip surgery they are normally treated with physical or occupational therapy. The additional use of computer based exercise games for training and the acceptance of such a technology are unclear. Thus, we plant to assess the above outcome ins an observational pilot study.
A comparison of two Unity Knee™ tissue-balancing techniques by analysing the results from X-rays and patient questionnaires.
This study evaluates the rate of cut-out and fixation failures in helical blade fixation versus lag screw fixation for cephalomedullary nailing of peritrochanteric femur fractures.
This pilot study will look at whether it is possible to give better physical therapy to people with cognitive limitations who have had a hip fracture.
The aim of the research is to identify structural tissue changes in the early fracture hematomas.
Surgical repair of hip fractures may be performed with various anesthetic techniques, but are most commonly completed under general anesthesia (GA) or neuraxial anesthesia (NA). Numerous prospective and retrospective studies demonstrate improved morbidity and mortality when NA is used; however, many surgeons prefer the use of GA with neuromuscular blockade (NMB) due to the perception of better operative conditions. This study aims to compare the operative conditions obtained from the use of combined GA and spinal with NMB vs. the use of GA with spinal without NMB. 84 patients will all receive a single shot spinal and GA and then will be randomized to receive either NMB or placebo. The fracture reduction time will be measured.
The objective of this study is to compare the functional outcomes of patients with ankle fractures treated by Arthroscopic assisted Open Reduction Internal Fixation (AORIF) versus Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF).
To determine whether liposomal bupivacaine wound infiltration decreases pain scores and narcotic use when compared to bupivacaine alone after open reduction internal fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a remote patient monitoring platform and alert system in reducing adverse events for hospitalized geriatric orthopedic trauma patients.
