Filter by:Interest of the four major OSA Predictive Scores (STOP-BANG, P-SAP, DES-OSA, OSA50) in the prognosis of postoperative mortality after femoral neck fracture.
Inclusion of all patients with femoral neck fracture presenting in Saint-Luc Bouge Hospital between October 1th 2014 and September 30th 2015. Comparison of severity scores of these patients and the scale of Nottingham on immediate (day 1 and day 2) and late (1 month) outcome.
Patients treated with circular external fixation will have better outcomes (as measured by range of motion (ROM), alignment, outcome surveys) than those treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
The purpose of this study is to compare surgery plus bracing versus bracing alone. Both groups are considered standard of care treatments. The goal of this study is to determine which group is a better treatment.
The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled study is to determine whether acute and chronic pain in patients who suffer multiple traumatic rib fractures is decreased after surgical management as compared to conservative management.
The purpose of this focused registry is to evaluate the clinical implications of the RHP position (relative to the articulations) regarding functional and radiographic parameters in patients treated with the RHP with a straight and curved stem.
This study will test the hypothesis that daily subcuaneous administration of 20µg of teriparatide (TPTD) as compared to daily subcuaneous placebo for twelve weeks accelerates proximal 2-segment humerus fracture healing and improves the three dimensional structural properties of bone as measured via quantitative bone image analysis and finite element modeling assessed by quantitative computed tomography.
The goal of this study is to determine if the use of tranexamic acid, a safe and effective antifibrinolytic, in patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures will result in a reduction in blood transfusion rates. Treatment will be administered pre-operatively as well as at the time of surgical incision. The primary outcome will be need for blood transfusion. Secondary outcomes will include calculated perioperative blood loss, length of stay, cost of inpatient care, and rate of adverse events, including DVT, PE, infection, MI, cerebrovascular event, need for re-hospitalization or re-operation and 30 day mortality.
This clinical, randomized, and controlled study will provide valuable scientific evidence regarding the effect of adding peripheral nerve blockades to general anaesthesia during ankle surgery. In particular, the investigators want to determine if the need for postoperative opioids will be reduced and whether this will lead to shorter admission to recovery room and fewer instances of side effects such as postoperative nausea and vomiting. In addition, the investigators will determine whether the functional outcome is improved i.e. faster and more successful rehabilitation. This would have profound benefits not only to the individual patient but also to society by reducing expenses during admission, the cost of sick leave etc.
The purpose of this study is to determine if US-guided supraclavicular anesthetic blocks reduce postoperative pain, use of rescue medication, and improve functional outcomes in children who underwent surgery for supracondylar humerus fractures.
