Filter by: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.
TRUFFLE is a register of clinical patient data of failed bone healing and bone non-union after fracture. All patients suffering from a long bone delayed or non-union after fracture and undergoing revision surgery are registered with their clinical data, comorbidities, medication, soft tissue status, radiographic status, Non-Union Scoring System (NUSS) Score and are followed up until final bone healing or end of treatment. The register consists of more than 800 patients cases. The aim is to identify risk factors for healing of non-unions. Data analysis will compare those patients that undergo regular healing to those of insufficient healing.
Delayed union or nonunion, which is a common complication of periarticular fractures repaired with angled locking plate systems, may be due to the unintentionally rigid formation of this system. This study aimed to compare the results of the treatment of distal tibial fractures made more flexible using the far cortical locking (FCL) technique with the classical bicortical locking screw (BL) technique.
The objective of this study is to collect and evaluate long-term clinical outcomes data in order to better understand the safety and performance of the Equinoxe Proximal Humerus Fracture Plates over time. This study will follow subjects for a period of up to 10 years post-surgery.
This is a Phase III clinical randomized control trial to investigate differences between patient with an infected nonunion treated by PO vs. IV antibiotics. The study population will be 250 patients, 18 years or older, being treated for infected nonunion after internal fixation of a fracture with a segmental defect less than one centimeter. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the treatment (group 1) PO antibiotics for 6 weeks or the control group (group 2) IV antibiotics for 6 weeks. The primary hypothesis is that the effectiveness of oral antibiotic therapy is equivalent to traditional intravenous antibiotic therapy for the treatment of infected nonunion after fracture internal fixation, when such therapy is combined with appropriate surgical management. Clinical effectiveness will be measured as the primary outcome as the number of secondary re-admissions related to injury and secondary outcomes of treatment failure (re-infection, nonunion, antibiotic complications) within the first one year of follow-up, as defined by specified criteria and determined by a blinded data assessment panel. In addition, treatment compliance, the cost of treatment, the number of surgeries required, the type and incidence of complications, and the duration of hospitalization will be measured.
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing the use of two different surgical techniques--free-hand versus distal targeting jig-based for distal interlock screw--placement and their effects on total operative time and intraoperative radiation exposure.
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Freedom Constrained Vivacit-E Acetabular Liners in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.
Here the investigators describe the statistical analysis plan for the study assessing the prediction of fracture nonunion leading to secondary surgery in patients with distal femur fractures.
This clinical trial studies the clinical effectiveness of S53P4 bioactive glass (BAG) as a bacterial growth inhibiting bone graft substitute in a one-stage or two-stage surgical procedure for treatment of chronic long bone osteomyelitis.
