Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the use of modern ring external fixation versus internal fixation for fracture stabilization of severe open tibia fractures.
The purpose of study is to verify that WOODCAST Circular system performs safely and effectively in its intended use.
This study investigates the relationship between waiting time to surgery and the risk for medical complications and 1-year mortality in hip-fracture patients.
The aims of the studies are to examine the impact of delayed time to surgery for hip-fracture patients with regard to in-hospital complication rate and one-year mortality and to evaluate two different fast-track systems for hip-fracture patients with regard to patient outcome, complication rate and patient satisfaction.
This trial will study the effect of hematoma aspiration in patients with acute ankle fractures.
Clavicle fractures are frequent and represent somewhere between 5 and 10% of all fractures seen in orthopedics. There is no consensus concerning the best treatment of acute, displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures. Conservative treatment has, traditionally, been the preferred treatment but recent studies have shown higher incidences of non-union and symptomatic malunion associated with conservative treatment. Primary surgery has in several studies been associated with high success rates and few complications but there is no compelling evidence towards superior results after primary surgery. The objective of this randomized study is to compare conservative treatment (sling) with primary surgery (locking plate) of acute, displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures.
The objective of this study is to gather data regarding the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty in the acute fracture group with fractures less than 6 weeks old. The AVAMAX vertebroplasty kits (Care Fusion) will be used for all vertebroplasties. The primary effectiveness analysis will be based on the number of patients whose numeric rating pain score drops from above 7 out of 10 at baseline to below 4 out of 10 at two weeks post-intervention. Our hypothesis is that the vertebroplasty group will have a significantly larger proportion of patients achieving pain reduction than the control group. A secondary analysis will compare the change in mean pain scores and specific activity related pain scores between the two groups at 3 days, 14 days and at 1, 3 and 6 months. Another secondary effectiveness analysis will include the mean change in the back-pain specific limitation in function as quantified by the Roland Scale at these same data collection time points.
Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and function that accompanies aging. The term sarcopenia comes from the Greek "sarx" (flesh) and "penia" (loss). Sarcopenia is a topic of great interest to geriatricians, and from 2010 discussing the possibility of considering it as a geriatric syndrome. Diagnostic criteria are reduced muscle mass, reduced strength and impaired physical performance. The presence of muscle mass reduction set presarcopenia diagnosis, when combined with one of the other two are talking about sarcopenia and when are the three is defined as severe sarcopenia. The hypothesis of our study is that sarcopenia is highly prevalent in older people with hip fracture. The increase in inflammatory indices of older people, along with bed rest, represent factors that accelerate the development of sarcopenia. These factors together could be the base of the high percentage of patients who do not recover the degree of autonomy before the fracture.
The purpose of this study is to see whether teriparatide, given for 6 months versus placebo, will improve the healing of hip (femoral neck) fractures that are repaired during surgery using certain types of orthopedic screws. The study will enroll men and postmenopausal women at least 50 years of age with a recent hip (femoral neck) fracture caused by low-trauma (for example, fall from standing height or less).
