Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the incentive spirometry volume and analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided continuous Retrolaminar block and continuous Erector spinae plain block in patients with multiple rib fractures.
Hip fractures are associated with severe pain and are sustained by the elderly population. Demand for adequate pain relief combined with a low tolerance for analgesic drugs makes the treatment of elderly hip fracture patients difficult. Perioperative methadone could improve the analgesic treatment of these patients. An earlier pilot study showed that 0.10 mg/kg was safe to use. This study further investigates the advantages of methadone. The study's objective is to investigate the analgesic effects of a single dose of methadone given during hip fracture surgery.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of the Fibulink Syndesmosis Repair System to maintain reduction of the ankle syndesmosis. Appropriate reduction of the syndesmosis is critical due the changes in tibiotalar contact pressure observed in cadaveric studies.6,7 Malreduction and instability of the distal tibiotalar joint can lead to chronic instability, increased articular damage and ultimately degenerative arthritis.7,8 Medial to lateral translation of distal tibia and fibula of 2 mm or more has been considered pathologic.9 Earlier biomechanical study demonstrated the Fibulink system is superior in maintaining displacement of less than 2 mm.4 Given the improved strength, we also look to evaluate the outcomes of initiating full weight bearing (100%) with Controlled Ankle Motion (CAM) boot at 4 weeks postoperatively. One of the big limitations for trans-osseous screw fixation is delayed weight bearing due to risk of screw breakage.1 Suture button technique allowed for early weight bearing with average of 6 weeks postoperatively using TightRope.2,10-12By initiating full weight bearing (100%) with CAM boot at 4 weeks postoperatively, this would be a significant improvement in current clinical practice.
Hip fractures (HF) are the most common and serious pathology affecting the hip and are associated with a high mortality risk in elderly patients. The prevalence of HF is increasing day by day and surgery is often required for its treatment. Perioperative anemia not only hinders the early recovery and rapid rehabilitation of elderly patients, but also adversely increases the need for blood transfusion, prolongs hospital length of stay (HLS) and even increases the risk of death. Although the blood transfusion threshold is restrictive, approximately one or two thirds of elderly patients with hip fracture surgery (HFS) require blood transfusion during hospitalization, and blood transfusion also has potential side effects.The most important factor in the development of anemia in HF is blood loss; however, there are other mechanisms (renal failure, inflammation, iatrogenic hemodilution) that lead to the selection of different therapeutic approaches.Oral or intravenous iron supplementation is a well-accepted alternative to counteract or prevent perioperative anemia, stimulate erythropoiesis and increase Hgb level in elderly patients. However, there are few studies addressing the relationship between iron therapy and clinical outcomes or mortality. Because ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) allows doses of 2 g in a single session (and can be administered by a short IV infusion of 15-20 minutes), and furthermore, FCM is excellently tolerated and safe for patients. This study was planned to investigate the relationship between FCM supplementation and blood transfusion volume, HLS, postoperative infection and mortality.
The application of the WALANT technique for foot and ankle surgery (joint fusion, implant removal and tendon repair, etc.) is limited. In our study, using the WALANT technique for ARIF in ankle fractures. The effect of this application on clinical outcomes will be prospectively evaluated.
This clinical trial aims to compare a Mixed Reality Viewer in the preoperative informed consent process to standard fracture visualization. The participants population are patients with an indication for surgery of a distal radius fracture, upper ankle fracture or proximal humerus fracture using plate osteosynthesis. The main questions aim to answer are: - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer improve patient understanding? - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer improve patient satisfaction? - Does the use of the Mixed Reality Viewer reduce patient preoperative anxiety? Participants will have their fracture presented via the Mixed Reality Viewer. Researchers will compare standard fracture imaging using X-ray or CT scans to see if there is any difference in understanding, satisfaction and anxiety.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ibuprofen and dexketoprofen, two common analgesic drugs used in pain control in patients with long bone fractures.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the long-term clinical outcomes of two treatment methods (conservative therapy and surgical treatment) in patients with fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine without neurological deficit
As part of the management of a patient with suspected bone fractures, emergency physicians are required to make treatment decisions before obtaining the imaging reading report from the radiologist, who is generally not available only a few hours after the patient's admission, or even the following day. This situation of the emergency doctor, alone interpreting the radiological image, in a context of limited time due to the large flow of patients to be treated, leads to a significant risk of interpretation error. Unrecognized fractures represent one of the main causes of diagnostic errors in emergency departments. This comparative study consists of two cohorts of patients referred to the emergency department for suspected bone fracture. The first will be of interest to patients whose radiological images will be interpreted by the reading of the emergency doctor systematically doubled by the reading of the artificial intelligence. The other will interest a group of patients cared for by the simple reading of the emergency doctor. All of the images from both groups of patients will be re-read by the establishment's group of radiologists no later than 24 hours following the patient's treatment. A centralized review will be provided by two expert radiologists. Also, patients in both groups will be systematically recalled in the event of detection of an unknown fracture for hospitalization.
The investigators test the efficacy of closed reduction in displaced distal radial fractures in the emergency department.
