Filter by:under GA, incision to access to orbital walls. Then insertion of prebent titanium mesh or customized titanium implant and fixation with miniscrews, examination of ocular motility using forced duction test followed by closure of flap.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the bone regeneration capacity of BM-MSC (Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells), in patients with nonunion. BM-MSC cultured are seeded on a collagen scaffold, included into autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) clot, and implanted in the nonunion bone defect.
The primary and main aim of this study is to implement PNOM in all hospitals in the Netherlands, so that the selected frail elderly people with a limited life expectancy who fracture a hip receive the care that best meets their needs in the last phase of life. The treatment decision is made through shared decision-making. Study design: This project is an implementation project, consisting of 4 phases. The main design is a multicenter prospective cohort study. Study population: The target population are frail (institutionalized) elderly who have a limited life expectancy and fracture their proximal femur. The population that meets this criterion are persons of 70 years or older, who either live in a nursing home or receive a similar level of care at home or in another type institution, and have at least one of the following characteristics: 1) are malnourished (cachexia or a Body Mass Index, BMI, of <18.5 kg/m2); 2) mobility issues with increased risk of falling pretrauma (Functional Ambulation Category, FAC, 2 or less); or 3) have severe comorbidities (American Society of Anesthesiologists, ASA, class 4 or 5). Methods: Phases 3 and 4: Installation of a local implementation team, followed by PNOM protocol implementation. Data collection for patients eligible for PNOM by automated data extraction from the national hip fracture audit.
Thoracic trauma frequently involve rib fractures which can be very painful for 2-3 months. Unfortunately, pain is not simply a "symptom" of the injuries, but a significant cause of additional medical problems: pain causes people to breath and cough less deeply/often which increases the risk of collapsing little parts of the lung. These collapsed areas often lead to complications which can increase the risk of death. In addition, the higher the amount of pain in the weeks following the fracture, the higher the risk of developing persistent, chronic pain that can last indefinitely. So, providing excellent pain control is very important for a variety of reasons. Various nerve blocks can greatly decrease pain, but even the longest acting are measured in hours or days, and not the weeks and months for which rib fracture pain can last. Therefore, opioids-"narcotics"-are the most common pain control method provided to patients; but they frequently do not provide enough pain control, have undesirable side effects like nausea and vomiting, and are sometimes misused which can lead to addiction or overdose. A prolonged nerve block lasting multiple months from a single treatment may be provided by freezing the nerve using a process called "cryoneurolysis". With cryoneurolysis and ultrasound machines, a very small "probe" may be placed through anesthetized skin and guided to the target nerve to allow freezing. The procedure takes about 5 minutes for each nerve, involves little discomfort, has no side effects, and cannot be misused or addictive. After 2-3 months, the nerve returns to normal functioning. The investigators have completed a small study suggesting that a single cryoneurolysis treatment provides potent short- and long-term pain relief following thoracic trauma with rib fractures. The ultimate objective of the proposed research is to determine if percutaneous cryoneurolysis is an effective non-opioid, single-application treatment for pain following traumatic rib fracture. The current project is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized, triple-masked (investigators, participants, statisticians), sham/placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, human-subjects, post-market clinical trial to determine if cryoneurolysis is an effective non-opioid treatment for pain following traumatic rib fractures.
This research will involve a prospective study on infection rates after grade 1 or 2 open fractures in the skeletally immature pediatric population. There will be 3 arms: one dose intravenous cefazolin, 24 hours intravenous cefazolin, and 24 hours intravenous cefazolin plus 5 days of oral cephalexin.
This project is structured in two distinct phases. The first phase deals with the recovery of the hip fracture in the acute phase up to ambulation, and the second is understood as the continuation of functional improvement of gait. In the first phase, the aim is to evaluate the effects of the use of the robotic device (SWalker) on the physical improvement of the patient. While in the second phase, the objective is to evaluate the effects of virtual reality technology combined with the use of the SWalker.Therefore, the following specific objectives are identified: - Phase I: To analyze the effects of SWalker application in patients with acute hip fracture on clinical parameters of rehabilitation. - Phase II: To study the effects of the application of the SWalker combined with immersive technology in people with impaired gait function after hip fracture.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of elbow position on achieving forearm supination and pronation and wrist ROM postoperatively. It is anticipated the results will show recovery of functional motion in a shorter period of time (27 days average). As for the secondary objective of the study, it is anticipated there will be limited pain and cost-containment. These data elements will serve as secondary factors to evaluate.
The aim of this study is to evaluate and assess the mid-term outcomes of treating odontoid fracture cases admitted to the Trauma Unit of Assiut University Hospital.
Long bone fractures are among the most traumatic patients seen in emergency departments. Using ultrasound to diagnose long bone fractures can reduce the risk of complications occurring During the primary and secondary survey. The diagnosis of long bone fractures is traditionally accomplished through plain radiographs taken at perpendicular angles to each other. Because of the resources required for radiographic capability, X-ray can be inaccessible in rural or remote areas, or in hospital during break time, In settings where a radiography technologist is not present on-site or in patient have conditions do for him limitations movement Using ultrasound machines to do patient examination can be performed earlier of assessment, and at the bedside, reducing diagnostic delays and time to initiation of management. Additional Advantages of Ultrasound include its simplicity, portability, repeatability, and its lack of ionizing radiation. Using ultrasound technology don't need equipment for lead protectors on health care providers, as well as the harmful effects to patients of ionizing radiation and safe to use with pregnant patients in the first and second trimester. However, this technique can be impractical because the training necessary for the use of this technology Diagnosis of long bone fractures in primary assessment can decrease risk of complications such as shock, bleeding, swelling, embolism compartment syndrome, vascular or neurological damage and patient's transposition related change shape and type of a fracture. that complications can lead to life-threatening conditions up to death specifically in geriatric and paediatric Patients
There are two common and concurrently used strategies for pain management following surgical treatment of supracondylar humerus (elbow) fractures in children: opioids vs over the counter pain medications. The purpose of this study is to determine if ibuprofen and acetaminophen can provide similar or better pain relief compared to ibuprofen and hydrocodone/acetaminophen (also known as Hycet) for this population of children after they have been discharged. If over the counter medications can provide adequate pain relief, then fewer opioid prescriptions would be necessary. This reduces early opioid exposure and decreases unnecessary opioids in circulation.
