Filter by:This is a randomised prospective comparison study to evaluate the incidence of cut - out failure of the dynamic hip screw implant alone compared to the dynamic hip screw adding calcium sulfate through the cervical canal before placing the sliding screw for improvement of the implant stability integration and bone healing.
The investigators objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hematoma block versus intravenous regional anesthesia (Bier block) during closed reduction of distal radius fractures.
This study aims prospective randomized comparison of mid-term clinical outcomes of middle-sized posterior malleolus fractures with and without internal fixation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of continuous interscalene block (CISB) using standard bupivacaine versus a single interscalene injection of liposomal bupivacaine (LB) on pain control following surgical fixation of proximal humerus fractures.
An assessment of the feasibility of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans in older people who have recovered from and older people who never had delirium after hip fracture surgery
Hip fracture is a common serious injury in older women that reduces quality of life and can lead to premature death. In the United Kingdom, hip fractures are estimated to account for 1.5 million hospital bed days used per year due to long hospitalisation and rehabilitation periods post-surgery, costing the National Health Service over £1 billion per year. Diet can affect bone health and risk of hip fracture, with varying risks in women on specific diets, and specific foods and nutrients playing more important roles than others. Vegetarians may be at a greater risk of hip fracture than meat-eaters, and those who don't consume enough protein could be at a greater risk than those with adequate intakes. This research aims to investigate which dietary factors (and in what quantities) might predispose United Kingdom women to a greater risk of hip fracture, and which factors may be protective. The purpose of this study is to better understand the role of diet in reducing hip fracture risk in United Kingdom women. The research will use existing dietary and lifestyle data from the United Kingdom Women's Cohort Study and hospital records of hip fractures.
Brief summary: Background: Rib fractures are one of the most common causes of trauma disabilities and have become an important health issue. Patients usually suffer from severe pain. A rapid and adequate pain control is considered as a priority to improve respiratory mechanics and reduce the risk of pulmonary and systemic complications. So far, there was no gold standard regarding pain control for rib fractures. Objective: To assess the effect of the newly-designed Prosthorax Thoraxbelt in addition to oral analgesics on pain control of rib fractures Method: There will be two groups of patients in this study. One group will be the patients with rib fractures who are necessary for in-hospital intense pain control. The other will consist of follow-up patients with rib fractures at an outpatient clinic. The investigators will aim to recruit 30 and 82 patients respectively.
Endodontic treatment is performed frequently which often results in weakening of tooth structure. Coronal restoration is done to restore these endodontically treated teeth. Posts have been used to retain the coronal restoration and reinforce these teeth but unfortunately posts placement results in further weakening of tooth structure. Newer contemporary core buildup materials will be used to restore coronal part of tooth without using endodontic posts and then the fracture resistance of these teeth will be evaluated. This study will be performed to evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with newer contemporary core buildup materials. 80 recently extracted single rooted caries-free and unrestored premolars will be taken and mounted in acrylic resin blocks. Roots of teeth will be covered with light bodies of condensation silicone impression material to simulate periodontal ligaments. Class 1 and class 2 cavities will be prepared and endodontic treatment will be performed in these teeth specimens. Coronal restoration will be done with three core buildup materials (Cention-N, Zirconomer and Aristaloy Amalgam). Teeth specimens are then divided into group 1 and group 2 (class 1 cavity preparation and class 2 cavity preparation respectively) and each group is further divided into four subgroups: Subgroup A: Control group Subgroup B: Cavities restored with Zirconomer (Shofu) Subgroup C: Cavities restored with Cention-N (Ivoclar vivodent) Subgroup D: Cavities restored with Aristaloy Amalgam (Cookson) Fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with different core buildup materials will be tested by the Universal testing machine.
Hip fracture is one of the most common traumas associated with falls in the elderly, severely affecting the patient's mobility and independence. The treatment involves hospitalization and prolonged rehabilitation periods with high costs which are associated with an increased mortality rate due to health complications. In recent years, the use of robotic applications has proven to be effective in gait rehabilitation, especially for neurological disorders. However, there is a lack of research in robotic rehabilitation focused on the hip fracture of elderly people. This study presents the validation of a novel robotic platform for hip rehabilitation called SWalker aimed at improving the rehabilitation of this condition in comparison with conventional rehabilitation.
The aims of this study are: - Evaluate the effectiveness of the pericapsulare blockade of the femoral nerve, the accessory obturator nerve and the obturator nerve in patients with pertrochanteric fractures of the femur, during the pre-operative period for patient positioning manoeuvres (sitting position for performing spinal anaesthesia, mobilisation on the operating bed, etc.); - Evaluate the consumption of opioids or hypnotics in the perioperative period, which are more responsible for the incidence of delirium in the elderly patient; - Evaluate the duration and quality of postoperative analgesia and well-being.
