Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess whether the Stryker© ADAPT™ augmented-reality platform can assist surgeons in optimizing placement of the lag screw component of the Stryker© Gamma™ cephalomedullary nail.
The primary objectives of this study are to: (1) determine the impact of glomerular disease on bone strength and (2) investigate the pathophysiologic underpinnings of impaired bone strength in glomerular disease.
Zygomatic arch fractures have always been treated with blind closed reduction and is the most commonly used method. Blind reduction of fractures might lead to inadequate reduction and associated complications of facial asymmetry and limitations in mouth opening which may require reoperation for correction. Various methods like portable CT scan, C arm fluoroscopy, endoscopy and ultrasound have been proposed and used to visualize the reduction for better outcome. Out of these, ultrasound is inexpensive, easily available, easy to use, non-ionizing and has greatest potential to be used as standard for visual reduction of zygomatic arch fractures. There are studies where ultrasound has been compared to blind method and other modalities but level I evidence and recommended protocol for its intraoperative use has been lacking.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are important clinical items for evaluating injuries and recovery of the hand. Some of the most used Questionnaires, unfortunately, are not available in Italian.
Majority of previous classifications based on two-dimensional images to analyze these complicated 3-D fractures. Small or delicate changes in rotation and positioning can result to considerable disagreement in the interpretation of standard radiographs. Therefore, a classification system which had a better reliability and reproducibility for the fractures is warranted and helpful for orthopedic surgeons. Furthermore, CT and 3-D CT construction images with high resolution give a much clearer view of the pattern of proximal humeral fractures. Edelson proposed a new three-dimensional classification for fractures of the proximal humerus. The results concluded that it was a useful in classifying these injuries with reasonable interobserver reliability. It could be hypothesized that patients with proximal humeral fractures would benefit from this 3D classification, but there is a scarcity of application of the classification in large samples. T
In surgery under general anesthesia due to nasal bone fracture, laryngeal mask airway or tracheal intubation has been used. However, it has not been investigated that the difference of recovery profiles according to use of laryngeal mask airway or tracheal intubation in nasal bone fracture surgery. The aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy of the laryngeal mask airway regarding recovery profiles and airway complications, compared to tracheal intubation.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is a relatively common in elderly patients after hip surgery, but exact mechanism of its onset is still unclear as well as contributing factors. There is also increased incidence of depression and anxiety. Both affect the recovery after surgery, slow it down and reduce the quality of life. Patients will be divided into two groups, operated under regional anaesthesia and operated under general anaesthesia, and monitored after surgery. Patients will be tested before and after surgery to evaluate postoperative cognitive deficits, depression and anxiety scale and health-related quality of life questionnaire.
This project was intended to observe the handover of trauma and orthopaedic patients at a district general hospital in the UK. Following the implementation of a standard operating protocol, the handover of patient information improved including neck of femur fracture patients significantly. The study can therefore be utilised by other similarly structured departments to improve the handover process, thereby improving patient safety.
