Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate sequential fracture healing with radius/ulna fractures or clavicle fractures and compare ultrasound to radiographs.
The gastric emptying of 400 ml 12.6% carbohydrate rich drink is investigated in elderly women, age 75-100, with acute hip fracture. The emptying time will be assessed by the paracetamol absorption technique, and lag phase and gastric half-emptying time compared with two gender-matched reference groups: elective hip replacement patients, age 45-71, and healthy volunteers, age 28-55.
This study will investigate the incidence and severity of anterior knee pain comparing two different approaches to tibial nail fixation; Infrapatellar versus percutaneous semi-extended suprapatellar incisions. Half the patients will be randomized to the gold standard infrapatellar approach with the other half being randomized to treatment with the percutaneous semi-extended suprapatellar approach.
This is a study of liposomal bupivacaine for pain control in patients with blunt chest wall trauma.
Approximately 15,000 persons in Norway suffer from wrist fractures during a year, making it the most prevalent fracture in this country. Treated conservatively, a cast is used for 4-6 weeks before removal. After discontinuation of the cast, physiotherapy is implemented to aid in improving range of motion and regaining function of the injured wrist. The pain after injury can affect the patient to a greater or lesser extent, and it is common to prescribe sick leave for shorter amounts of time after the injury. Studies suggest that a physiotherapy intervention with Low Level Laser therapy (LLLT) may reduce pain and swelling after acute trauma, and potentially promote healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of LLLT on pain and function at 2, 4, 8 and 26 weeks after injury.
In patients suffered from floor fractures, there are 21.9% complaining about diplopia before fracture repair surgery and 20.8% after operation. Even after 6 months, there still are 16.4% had similar conditions. Investigators are planned to find predicting factors to prevent such conditions from happening.
To determine if TXA utilization is effective at reducing transfusion rates in elderly patients undergoing surgery for treatment of a hip fractures.
Lateral humeral condyle fractures are the second most common elbow fractures in children. Displaced and rotated fractures require stabilization and reduction. Kirschner wires (K-wires) are most commonly used for fracture fixation. Here, the investigators introduce a new fixation method involving absorbable screws. The investigators aimed to determine if it is feasible to treat lateral humeral condyle fractures with absorbable screws by comparing the functional outcomes obtained using screw fixation vs. K-wire fixation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether women who have atypical subtrochanteric and diaphyseal femoral fractures after treatment with bisphosphonates for osteoporosis, have a genetic predisposition to these unusual fractures.
To investigate the functional outcomes and prevalence and severity of knee pain for patients undergoing suprapatellar nailing of tibial shaft fractures.
