Filter by:The primary goal of this study is to compare functional outcomes (range of motion [flexion, extension, supination, pronation], return to work, of patients with distal radius fractures who receive intraoperative glucocorticoids to those that do not. Secondary goals include comparison of pain control (number of pain pills consumed, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores) between patients with distal radius fractures who receive intraoperative glucocorticoids to those that do not. The primary endpoint of this study will occur when 18 patients in each test-group complete the 6 month follow up visit for study.
Ankle fractures are one of the main causes of hospitalization due to injuries in Chile, which also have a discharge and partial load time of approximately 12 weeks in the recovery process. This generates disuse and atrophy of the posterior musculature of the leg called the triceps sural, which makes it difficult to restart and perform the gait. We conducted this research because practically all patients with this type of diagnosis have trigger points in these muscles, and dry needling technique is one of the best for its treatment, but has the disadvantage that it produces post dry needling pain of 48 hours and there is not enough information, or consensus on which method is better to reduce post dry needling pain. This study aims to prove wich technique is most useful in reducing pain post dry needling for the treatment of trigger points in the triceps sural muscle in ankle post fracture patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare OR3O™ Dual Mobility System to a conventional, single-bearing design Total Hip System in subjects who undergo Primary THA. Data collected in this study will be used to support National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) regulatory approval of OR3O™ Dual Mobility System in China as well as to support and maintain product registration in global markets. Primary Objective: Assess safety and efficacy of the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System in Primary THA at 1 year postoperative. Secondary Objective(s): Assess safety and efficacy of the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System and compatible components in Primary THA up to 2 years after surgery. Other Objective(s): Assess the hip dislocation and hospital readmission up to 2 years after device implantation. 4 study sites in China.
The purpose of this study is to use the Duracore splinting device to measure lung capacities of patients with rib fractures in control and experimental groups to determine if lung capacities improve with the splint.
The purpose of this study is to determine if using the combination of acetaminophen (also known as Tylenol) and ibuprofen (also known as Motrin or Advil) will provide equal or better pain control as compared to acetaminophen-hydrocodone (also known as Lortab), in children with broken elbows who need surgery. This study will examine whether the combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen can provide pain control as well as or better than acetaminophen-hydrocodone so that doctors might be able to prescribe less acetaminophen-hydrocodone (which can be addictive) to children in the future. Currently, the standard of care for pain control following this kind of elbow surgery is acetaminophen-hydrocodone.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if perioperative glucocorticoid administration (IV intra-operative followed by a post-operative oral taper course) improves post-operative range of motion in a patient population that has sustained an intra-articular elbow fracture(s) (radial head, proximal ulna, distal humerus, or combined) that required operative fixation.
Rib fractures are one of the most common injuries in trauma patients. These fractures are associated with significant pain as well as decreased ability to inspire deeply or cough to clear secretions, which together lead to complications of the lungs and breathing which leads to risks of further injury and even death. One recent study found that the ability to move air into and out of the lungs practically doubled with the administration of a single-injection Erector Spainae Plane Block (ESPB) while pain levels nearly halved. However, a single-injection nerve block lasts less than 24 hours while a perineural local anesthetic infusion (also termed a "continuous peripheral nerve block") may be administered for multiple days. This entails inserting a tiny tube through the skin and into the area around the nerves, after which more local anesthetic may be administered prolonging the numbing effects. The possibility of extending the duration of a ESPB with local anesthetic administration via a perineural catheter has not be investigated. We therefore are conducting a randomized, triple-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm study to investigate the addition of a continuous ESPB to a single-injection ESPB following traumatic rib fractures. The primary outcome of this study will be the maximum inspired volume measured by incentive spirometry on the afternoon following the nerve block procedure. We hypothesize that the maximum inspired volume will be significantly increased in the afternoon following the procedure with the addition of a continuous ESPB to a single-injection ESPB.
Implant anchorage is difficult in patient with osteoporotic bone. To improve the implant bone interface, the ISS stabilization system has been developed. The goal of the study is to investigate the efficacy the ISS augmentation compared to the standard PMMA augmentation of pedicle screws in the treatment of patients suffering from osteoporotic/osteopenic thoracolumbar fracture. The study has two phases, a pilot phase followed by a pivotal phase. The data will be used to measure clinical and radiological performance and usability of both systems.
Displaced subcapital hip fractures are very common and account for almost 50% of all hip fractures. The aim of the present study is to determine whether an uncemented total hip replacement is better than conventional cemented hip replacement to treat these fractures.
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
