Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare percutaneous trans-iliac trans-sacral screw fixation to non-operative management for the treatment of symptomatic, sacral fragility fractures in elderly patients.
Nasal fractures are one of the most incidental of facial traumas. Regression of nasal edema is necessary so that surgical reduction of the fracture can be performed. It is known that photobiomodulation (PBM) reduces pain, edema and modulates inflammation. Regression of edema in a shorter time may decrease hospitalization time, decreasing hospital costs. However, there are no well-designed clinical studies on this subject. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to evaluate if PBM is able to reduce edema in the region of fractured nasal bones prior to nasal reduction and nasal packing, in order to reduce the patient's ability to go through surgery. Thirty-six patients diagnosed with a (primary) nasal fracture admitted to the Mandaqui Hospital Complex whose trauma occurred in the last 48 hours will be randomly divided into: G1- (control) (n = 18). . G2-Light emitter diode (LED) group (n = 18) - The standard hospital treatment will be performed + LED nasal mask. The main variable will be the edema evaluated by the same researcher and with the same technique. Secondary variables will be pain (visual analogue scale - VAS), temperature, rescue medication count, serum C-reactive protein and systemic inflammatory cytokines. Afterwards, the LED or its placebo will also be applied. The questionnaire to assess the impact of treatment on quality of life will be applied at the baseline and after 8 days. Adverse effects will be recorded and reported. If the data is normal, they will be submitted to Student's t-test. The data will be presented by their means ± standard deviation (SD) and the value of p will be set at 0.05.
The study deals with the topic of treatment of Jones fracture, comparing surgical and conservative approach. The fracture occurs especially in highly active individuals.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the intraarticular lesions, to identify fractures specifically at risk for these, and to assess the results following arthroscopically assisted open reduction and internal fixation of complex ankle fractures prospectively.
This study evaluates the influence of cost information on decision-making for immobilization for treatment of distal radial buckle fractures. Half of the participants will receive cost information from an orthopaedic surgeon prior to making their decision for treatment, while the other half will receive cost information from another member of the study team after they had made their decision treatment.
Comparison of short segment mono axial and poly axial pedicle screw fixation in thoracolumbar fractures regarding the best correction of the fracture and deformity and the maintenance of the correction.
This is a retrospective and prospective, multi-center, non-comparative, post market clinical follow-up study involving orthopedic surgeons skilled in THA and experienced implanting the devices included in this study.
The anterior tilting of the proximal tibia epiphyseal plate is a radiological tool for the diagnosis of suspected trampoline fracture. The tibial fracture leads to a ventral tilting of the tibial Plateau. This study is to document the long-term follow-up of the anterior tilt angle and to verify, if there is an uplift of the tibia plateau with correction of the anterior tilt angle to normal values (= remodelling) in order to guarantee optimal treatment of this rare fracture.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of an arm cycle ergometer training in subjects with proximal femur fracture surgically treated. The secondary purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to verify whether the addition of aerobic activity can increase motor performance compared to a conventional exercise program in which no aerobic activity is foreseen.
This investigation is a prospective, multi-center clinical investigation. It is anticipated that a total of 80 subjects will be enrolled. Neither subjects nor investigators are blinded to treatment and the clinical investigation includes a historical control which will be compared to the T2 Alpha Tibia Nailing System. Total duration of enrollment, 12 month follow-up and analysis is expected to take 31 months. The clinical investigation has been designed to follow the surgeon's standard of care for tibia fractured subjects, in addition to a 12 month follow-up visit. The primary endpoint of this clinical investigation is to confirm efficacy/performance at 12 months, as measured by the SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS). Confirmation of efficacy/performance at 12 months will be based on an equal or higher (non-inferior) SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) result of the T2 Alpha Tibia Nailing System compared to the benchmark literature.
