Filter by:The aim of the herein presented double-blinded is to compare the effectiveness of the high foot block against placebo infiltration in simple, uni- and bimalleolar ankle fractures. Included will be all adult patients (>18a) treated surgically at our department. The standard peri-operative procedure at our clinic will no be altered but the additional high ankle block. The intraoperative opioid requirement, the Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS) and the postoperative opioid requirement will be assessed and compared between the two groups
Hip fracture posed a major challenge to the health care system, with the one-year mortality of hip fracture reported as being approximately 20%. Perioperative haemoglobin level was associated with functional level of the patient and even mortality. Different methods for administration of tranexamic acid had been described. It was well established that systemic administration of tranexamic acid could reduce perioperative blood loss and transfusion rate. Topical administration had been shown to decrease blood loss and transfusion rate. The objective of our study is to investigate the hypothesis that tranexamic acid will reduce blood loss and transfusion rate in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
This study evaluates the sensitivity of Ultrasound for Diagnostic of Fractures of the upper extremity compared to conventional x-ray in Children 0-18.
Distal radial fractures (DRF) are the most common fractures encountered in health care. Annualized estimates in the United States alone suggest an incidence of approximately 640,000 cases, and rising, per year. Most fractures may be treated in a plaster cast, but unstable fractures tend to displace without a surgical procedure. 1 Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) is one modality commonly used to stimulate bone generation throughout various clinical settings including orthoapedic surgery. PEMF has been shown to primarily effect vascular generation, formation and neovascularization2,3. This may help decrease time to healing and allow patients to return to normal activities sooner. Additional study demonstrated that PEMF exposure increased cell proliferation, adhesion and the osteogenic commitment of MSCs, even in inflammatory conditions. In this in-vitro model PEMFs increased the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10, and reduced the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 4. The distal radius fracture was chosen as the model to test the effects of PEMF treatment because it includes both trabecular and cortical bone, is accessible for radiographs, has little soft tissue that can distort the radiograph, and is amenable to multiple functional endpoints. The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of FHP by means of pulsed electromagnetic fields in acute distal radius fractures will accelerate healing both clinically and radiotralogically
Background and purpose: Hip fracture, a common injury occurred in people aged over 50, may result in disability, poor quality of life, and higher care stress for their families. Aging population and growing number of hip fractures have increased medical expenses, so developed countries implemented post-acute care (PAC) to reduce acute hospitalization, and to improve the quality of care. PAC services can be delivered by hospital/facility-based and home-based services. Previous studies showed that both services could significantly improve patients' activities of daily living and quality of life, and reduce readmissions, long-term care and costs. Taiwan has implemented PAC plan for hip fractures since 2017, but relevant evidences are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of PAC for patients with hip fractures.
Spinal anesthesia (SA) is a widely accepted anesthetic technique for hip fracture repair among elderly. Positioning for SA can be extremely painful. Effective management of pain is important for these patients comfort. Fascia Iliaca block (FIB) and Femoral nerve blocks are commonly used for analgesia in hip fracture patients. However, they often provide a modest reduction in pain. The Percapsular Nerve Group block (PENG Block) has the advantage that it covers the accessory obturator nerve. Aim of the study: compare FIB with PENG prior to positioning hip fracture patients for standardized SA. In a prospective randomized double blind we included 80 patients aged more than 65 years old, for whom pain was felt when raising the affected limb to 15 degrees. Patients were assigned to receive either ultrasound guided Fascia Iliaca block or Percapsular Nerve Group block using 20 mL Lidocaine 1.5% in both groups. We compared pain on positioning for spinal anesthesia using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS 0 = no pain , VRS 1 = mild pain, t 2= severe pain) for both groups. We also recorded different times to perfom block.
The purpose of this trial is to compare operating room time between conventional treatment techniques [without Virtual surgical Planning (VSP)] versus treatment with use of Virtual surgical Planning (VSP) in patients that undergo mandibular reconstruction via open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).
The study is a blind randomized clinical study on patients with midface maxillofacial fractures coming to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. The subject is the fracture line who met the inclusion criteria and randomly allocated into the study (locally-made miniplate and screw) and control (BIOMET® miniplate and screw) group through a predetermined randomization list. The healing process is follow up using non-contrast head computed tomography immediately after surgery as a baseline, and 3 months post-op. Afterward, a radiologist consultant as a blinded evaluator will evaluate the score of bone density, and screw loosening, while local tissue reaction after fixation evaluates during the patient's visit outpatient clinic. All scores from points of the evaluation group will be collected and going to statistically evaluated using independent t-test or Mann Whitney test depending on the distribution of the data
Psychological factors such as stress, distress, anxiety, depression, and poor coping strategies may be associated with ongoing pain following injuries such as fractures. To study this relationship, patients will undergo cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which is designed to modify such thoughts with the goal of reducing ongoing pain and improving quality of life. The goal of this study is to determine if CBT, versus usual care, reduces the prevalence of moderate to severe persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP) over 12-months post-fracture in patients with an open or closed fracture of the appendicular skeleton, treated with internal fixation.
