Filter by:This is a prospective, single-center, double-blind randomized clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of the extended-release antibiotic device, STIMULAN, in preventing infections in patients with open fractures. The study will enroll 40 patients from IRCSS San Raffaele's Emergency Department and Orthopedics and Traumatology Unit. Patients will be stratified into high-risk and low-risk infectious subgroups and randomized into either the intervention group receiving the antibiotic device or the control group receiving no device. The follow-up period will last for 5 days, with data collection at specified intervals. Standard laboratory tests will be utilized to monitor the patient's inflammatory response.
Type of study: prospective interventional the purposes of the research :To examine the effect of treatment using the SELFIT system on function, walking and balance in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. The study population: 50 participants aged 65+ who were admitted to the geriatric rehabilitation department after hip fractures, with 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of training with SELFIT system on the functional outcomes in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. - How the training with SELFIT system will effect on satisfaction of the patients in the geriatric rehabilitation department. During 21 days, both groups will receive physical therapy for about 45 minutes. The experimental group will be allocated about 15 minutes out of the 45 minutes to practice with the help of the SELFIT system.
The goal of this observational multicenter case series is to assess the safety and performance of the CE-marked "Biphasic Plate Distal Femur" during standard of care.
Stress fractures (fatigue or insufficiency fracture) are caused by the mismatch between bone strength and chronic stress applied to the bone. The vast majority of these fractures occur in the lower extremity. Early-stage diagnosis is crucial to optimize patient care. Appropriate imaging is relevant in confirming diagnosis after clinical suspicion of stress fractures. Radiographs have low sensitivity, so a relevant number of fractures go undetected. MRI has a high sensitivity, but its availability is limited, and its respective examination time is prolonged. This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of PCCT in lower extremity stress fractures as a dose-saving technology, guaranteeing an examination according to the ALARA-principle (as low as reasonably achievable).
The aim of this study is to compare functional and radiological results in two groups of distal radius fractures treated with internal fixation with locking plate, and immobilized with antebrachial splint or compression bandage for 3 weeks.
The study will be conducted with volunteer patients who are followed up by the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Training and Research Hospital and who have undergone proximal femur fracture surgery and meet the study criteria. It is aimed to investigate the mid-term efficacy of relaxation exercises and classical massage of the sole of the foot applied in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program in the postoperative in-hospital period in patients with proximal femur fracture.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the difference between the use of paper- versus application-based (smartphone application) exercises in the rehabilitation of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius at the Cantonal Hospital of Fribourg, Switzerland. The operation itself will proceed as usual. However, the rehabilitation will be aided by exercises based either on a paper support or on a digital application (smartphone application), in addition to follow-up by a hand therapist. The aim is to determine which support provides the best improvement in wrist mobility and function, and to speed up the return to work.
The aim of the program is to develop technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and consequences of the pelvis. Purpose: to improve the technique of surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.
Severe pain associated with fractured hip often results in difficulty during positioning for spinal anesthesia (SA). Among many regional analgesic techniques, the fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is popular among anesthesiologists to provide immediate as well as postoperative analgesia in hip fractures. Recently, the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has been proposed to provide effective analgesia in hip fracture patients. However, comparative studies between PENG and FICB are lacking.
The purpose is to find out if incorporation of an intraoperative electro auricular acupuncture protocol when added to a standard multimodal analgesic regimen for patients undergoing surgery to repair lower leg fracture under spinal anesthesia will help reduce postoperative opioid use.
