Filter by:Patients with rib fractures may develop pneumonia and even respiratory failure requiring critical care, ventilator management, and hospitalization. Discharge planning is a broad range of time-limited services designed to ensure healthcare continuity, avoid preventable poor outcomes among at-risk populations, and promote the safe and timely transfer of patients care.
The study will be a prospective randomized double blinded placebo controlled clinical trial using ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block as an analgesic adjunct among adult emergency department (ED) patients with rib fractures using mean morphine milligram equivalents as the primary outcome.
Fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal is one of the most common injuries in ankle trauma. There are many conservative treatment protocols for fifth metatarsal base fractures which have up to 99% success. Short leg cast and walking boot are conservative treatment methods that aim to prevent weight-bearing. There are many different conservative treatment methods that allow weight-bearing such as an elastic bandage. There was no significant difference between cast and symptomatic treatment in the previous studies. Muscle atrophy developing after immobilization with cast may adversely affect the daily activities of the patient in the first few months. However, there was no study comparing the effect of these two treatment methods on ankle muscle strength. In this study, the investigators compared the strength of the ınjured and healthy ankle muscle when symptomatic and cast treatment methods are applied to patients with tuberosity fractures of proximal fifty metatars. In addition, patients' functional, clinic and radiological outcomes were also compared.
The study will compare the functions outcomes between two different rehabilitation protocol after operated weber b ankle fractures
The aging of the population is a major public health problem, particularly with regard to the quality of life and the maintenance of autonomy. The fracture of the upper end of the femur (EFSF) is a pathology: - Frequent, affecting the elderly: in France, 80,000 patients / year, 83% aged ≥ 75 years (DREES, 2011), - severe, on mortality and autonomy: 40% will not recover their walking capacity earlier than 6 months, 13% of patients > 85 years old walk unaided at 4 months and 11% of patients will be newly admitted to an institution in 6 months after the fracture (UPOG / PSL data). - and costly: costs related to acute care (excluding prostheses and osteosynthesis equipment), are estimated at € 475 million for health insurance in France. Currently, despite optimized orthogeriatric management, it is difficult to predict how the individual will respond / recover from acute stress related to the EFSF. Physical resilience is an emerging concept in medicine that defines the dynamic ability of a subject to resist or recover from functional decline as a result of stress or disruption. In this context, developing new approaches to assessing resilience is important, to take into account this resilience specific to each patient in order to develop a personalized functional rehabilitation strategy. The objective of the HIPRESM study is to be able to identify, in elderly patients after an EFSF intervention, the muscular signature associated with good functional recovery (= physical resilience). The goal of the investigators is to develop software that will provide this muscle signature by measuring and analyzing parameters from high-definition surface electromyography (HD-sEMG). This technology is innovative, non-invasive and portable, CE marked but not yet used in clinical routine.
In the elderly patients with hip fracture, some often take antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel due to the ischemic cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. In traditional practice, these patients often need to stop medication for 5-7 days before surgery. But on the other hand, delayed surgery will lead to a significant increase in fracture related complications. Therefore, the appropriate time for drug withdrawal is particularly important in this population. Thromboelastography is a monitoring method that can accurately judge the anticoagulation status of patients. We hope to use thromboelastography to guide the time of drug withdrawal, shorten the time of drug withdrawal as much as possible, and reduce the incidence of fracture related complications without increasing the risk of massive hemorrhage.
A retrospective review of demographics and adverse events from cases completed with the RibFix Advantage System. Evaluation of device integrity, and performance by a prospective CT scan with a minimum of 3 months post-implantation.
This is a randomized control trial comparing the outcome of ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) with EHA (elbow hemiarthroplasty) for distal humeral fractures in patients aged 50 years or above.
Clavicle fractures in children are mostly managed non-operatively since they have an overall high union rate (95%) and a "good" functional outcome following nonoperative treatment. However, the downside of such a conservative approach is that patients have to live with pain and disability until the fracture heals. To minimize this, fractures are usually immobilized with a sling. There have been no studies looking at clavicle fractures treated with kinesiology (elastic) tape. No adverse effects (skin irritation, redness, etc.) are observed with the application of this tape. Elastic tape has previously been examined regarding muscular advantages rather than for healing fractures. Since this tape should immobilize fractures better than a sling, patients should experience less pain and disability associated with their fracture.
From prospectively collected health and life-style data and anthropometric data in the Malmo Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort identify factors that predicts or are associated with forthcoming fracture in middle-aged men and women.
