Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine if perioperative glucocorticoid administration (IV intra-operative followed by a post-operative oral taper course) improves post-operative range of motion in a patient population that has sustained an intra-articular elbow fracture(s) (radial head, proximal ulna, distal humerus, or combined) that required operative fixation.
Older people are in great risk of hip fracture for multiple reasons. Also they often are on medications for medical conditions. Hip fracture risk increases in relation to some medications. When older peoples take 2 or more medications they are in increase risk of hip fracture.
The purpose of this prospective study is to confirm safety and performance of the FastFrame External Fixation System and corresponding instrumentation.
The study aims to assess the adequacy of a set of clinical and laboratory investigations for identifying the osteosarcopenia status in patients undergoing a hip replacement for a fragility fracture of the femoral neck. The control group will consist of patients undergoing a hip replacement for osteoarthritis, as the decrease in muscle function and bone quality is less severe in this condition than in osteoporosis.
Twenty-five patients with mandibular angle fracture were subjected to reduction and fixation through intra-oral open reduction and semi-rigid min plate fixation near the superior border of the mandible at Champy's osteosynthesis line. The linear inter-fragmentary gap was measured at the inferior border of the mandible after fixation of the fractured bony segments in the final aligned position immediately postoperative on a panoramic radiograph for the mesio-distal plane and a cone beam computed tomography for the bucco-lingual plane to assess any lingual splay. The healing process was clinically followed for 3 months postoperatively for any complications and/or patient complains
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with operatively treated acetabular fractures benefit from early weight-bearing as tolerated. The study compares two groups ( n = 25 each), which are randomised into either weight-bearing as tolerated or touch-down weight-bearing for 6-8 weeks postoperatively. Both study groups are stratified according to - Type of fracture (anterior approach vs anterior + additional posterior approach) - Dislocated dome vs non-dislocated/ non existing separate dome fragment Patients, who are eligible to participate in the trial but choose not to participate in randomisation are asked to enrol in a prospective cohort follow-up cohort. This is to examine a potential participation bias in the RCT groups. These patients will not be counted into the target amount of 50 RCT patients.
Tibial eminence fracture, a bony avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) from its insertion on the intercondylar eminence,1 was first described by Poncet in 1875. 2 Also known as tibial spine fractures, these injuries occur most commonly in skeletally immature patients between the ages of 8 and 14 years
14 patients having recent anterior mandibular fracture divided into two groups. Group A has 6 patients and treated using Herbert bone screw, and group B has 6 patients and treated using lag screw. Clinical follow-up was conducted after 24-hours, one, four, six, and twelve weeks. In addition, a radiographic investigation was performed after twelve weeks to estimate the mean bone density across the fracture line.
this study was made on fifteen patients who will undergo fracture repair of the zygomaticomaxillary complex. Postoperative patient evaluation performed with specific attention paid towards, accessibility the exposure duration(time from incision till exposure of the field), esthetic appearance, post-operative pain, post-operative edema, orbital movement, wound healing, scarring infection, and the post-operative ocular complications such as ectropion, entropion, enophthalmos, scleral show and corneal abrasion. Postoperative clinical examinations along with radiographic examination was done to evaluate the position of zygoma and determine the adequacy of fracture reduction.
120 patients age 18-64 years with dorsally displaced distal radius fractures AO-type A2, A3 and C1 are recruited from Oslo Casualty Medical Centre (Oslo Skadelegevakt). Patients are randomized to surgery with closed reduction and pins (CRPP) or open reduction and volar locking plate (VLP). The hypotheses is that CRPP will give equal function and satisfaction to VLP. Patients are followed by current practice of follow-ups until 5 weeks postoperatively, and in addition due to the study with functional tests after 2, 3, 6 and 12 months. These follow-ups will be performed by hand therapist. Scores are also recorded from Patient-Reported Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE), Quick-Dash (Q-d) and EuroQol Questionnaire (EQ-5D) questionnaires. The main efficacy measure in the study is PRWHE scores after 12 months. There will be X-ray initially, postoperatively and after 12 months. Sub-objectives in the study are analyses of cost-effectiveness (measured by EQ 5D, personnel use, use of additional healthcare service and absence from work), and differences in complications between the two methods.
