Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate if poor bone quality increases the risk of specific types of treatment complications in patients with distal radius fractures treated with open reduction and Locking Compression Plates(LCP).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if poor bone quality increases the risk of specific types of treatment complications in patients with proximal humerus fractures treated with open reduction and angle-stable plates (Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System - PHILOS).
A multi-site randomized controlled trial where patients are allocated to operative treatment or conservative treatment of fractures of the neck of the 5th metacarpal bone. The study goal is to identify which degree of angular displacement in the fracture that requires operative intervention.
Design: Prediction trial, up to 10 sites in Asia and Europe Goal: To better understand the "success" or "failure" after orthopedic trauma surgery by developing a model that can be applied clinically as a user-friendly "baseline" questionnaire - capable of predicting "success" or "failure" based on a patient's pre-surgical expectations of their final outcome and to validate a novel outcomes measure (TOM). Primary aim: To assess the psychometric properties of predictive validity, internal consistency and reproducibility of the trauma expectation factor (TEF) in the Eurasian population. Secondary aim: To assess the psychometric properties of criterion validity, internal consistency,reproducibility, and sensitivity to change of the TOM in the Eurasian population. Key questions related to patient and surgeon expectations: - How different, or similar, are patient and surgeon expectations? - Do expectations change over time? - Do patient expectations predict outcomes in validated measures use today?
This study will determine whether operative management confers improved short and long−term outcomes for patients with isolated AO type 44−B1 distal fibula fractures when compared with non−operative management.
Case series of tibial plateau fractures using Norian Drillable.
The purpose of this study is to compare the abductor muscle strength measured with a dynamometer in patients with reverse oblique inter- or subtrochanteric fractures treated either with a proximal femur locking plate or a trochanteric nail. "Proximal femur locking plates" stands for both the PF-LCP (Synthes) and the PeriLoc (Smith & Nephew). Trochanteric nails allowed in this study are the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA), the Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) and the Gamma Nail (GN).
This study is designed as a prediction trial. That is, our primary purpose is to develop a model that can be applied clinically as a user-friendly "baseline" questionnaire that is capable of predicting "success" or "failure" based on a patient's pre-surgical expectations of their final outcome. In the process, a secondary goal is to develop an outcomes measure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Kiva VCF Treatment system in comparison to balloon kyphoplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures of the thoracic or lumbar spine.
Study to demonstrate that the Bone UltraSonic Scanner (BUSS) can aid in detection of osteoporosis and predict prevalent osteoporotic fractures. Measurements derived from the BUSS parameters will be able to discriminate between postmenopausal women with osteoporotic fractures when compared to matched controls without history of osteoporotic fracture.
