Filter by:This is a post-market study to evaluate the revision rate of femoral fractures, treated with INTERTAN 10S Nails at one-year post-operation. The study will enroll Approximately 180 subjects with femoral fractures, Approximately 7 sites are involved. The study duration will be Approximately 36 months (6 months start-up, 1 year enrollment, 1 year follow-up, 6 months closeout/study report).
The main aim of this study is to determine if the ActiveHip tele-rehabilitation mobile application improves the functional level and the quality of life of patients who undergone hip surgery after a fracture. The second aim is to determine if the ActiveHip intervention reduce the anxiety, stress and burden of the caregivers.
BLOCKPAIN is a randomized controlled study, 80 participants. The participants will be hip fracture patients in Emergency Medicine Department in Clinical Hospital "Sveti Duh", Zagreb, Croatia. Upon patient arrival inclusion and exclusion criteria will be established. After signing the informed consent form participant will be randomized in one of two study groups. One study group is fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB), the other is placebo. All participants will be given paracetamol 1 gram IV as standard care. If needed, rescue analgesic will be tramadol 100 mg in 100 ml saline IV. The time frame is 24 hours after the FICB or placebo procedure.
The investigators aim to study the use of blood flow restriction therapy (BFR) to augment routine post-operative physical therapy in elderly patients (age >= 65) after recovering from surgical treatment of hip fractures.
Regaining basis mobility after a hip fracture surgery is an important in-hospital rehabilitation goal because patients who have regained basis mobility at pre-fracture level at discharge have lower 30-day mortality and readmission rate and are more likely to be discharged to their own home. However, at discharge only half of the patients have regained their pre-fracture basis mobility level. Intensified acute in-hospital physiotherapy (e.g. more than once daily) highlighting weight-bearing activities and ambulation could have a positive effect on the proportion of patients who regain their pre-facture basic mobility at discharge. However, data from daily clinical practice suggest that only half of the patients are able to complete physiotherapy on the first postoperative day and that fatigue, hip fracture-related pain and habitual cognitive status are the most frequent reasons for not completing planned physiotherapy (once daily) during the first three postoperative days. Thus to undertake an RCT investigating the effect of intensified acute in-hospital physiotherapy i.e. two daily sessions of physiotherapy compared to usual care i.e. one daily session, on regained pre-facture basic mobility at discharge in patients with hip fracture raises important practical concerns regarding e.g. completion rate of planned physiotherapy. The potential positive effects of intensified physiotherapy will be hampered if too many patients are unable to complete planned physiotherapy e.g. because of fatigue or pain. Feasibility studies ask whether something can be done and are preliminary studies conducted specifically for the purposes of establishing whether or not a full trial will be feasible to conduct. Thus, the main aim of the trial is to assess the feasibility of conducting a definitive pragmatic RCT in terms of implementation, practicality and acceptability of intensified acute in-hospital physiotherapy i.e. two daily sessions of physiotherapy highlighting weight-bearing activities and ambulation on weekdays among patients with hip fracture. The main predefined feasibility criterium is that about twice as many physiotherapy sessions are completed in the intensified physiotherapy group compared to in the usual care physiotherapy group.
A randomized controlled trial to evaluate AGN1 to prevent secondary hip fractures in osteoporotic women undergoing treatment of index hip fractures. Up to 2400 subjects will be randomized between a treatment group and a control group. Subjects will be followed for a minimum of 5 years after undergoing hip fracture repair surgery.
Acute cervical femoral neck fracture patients randomized to either cemented or non-cemented stem. The investigators used gait analysis to evaluate if patients operated with a cemented stem showed more favourable hip kinematics and kinetics when compared with a group of patients operated with a non-cemented stem.
The primary objective is to examine the effect of multidisciplinary geriatric team home-visits as follow-up after a hip fracture in old patients. The hypothesis is that home-visits will reduce the number of falls, readmissions, prevent functional decline, optimize that medical treatment, and a higher degree of satisfaction and quality of life.
Prospective, low-level, non-commercial intervention, comparative clinical trial (phase IV) of balanced, randomized groups, to compare the analgesic efficacy of the local anesthetics Ropivacaine and Levobupivacaine in peripheral nerve block in hip fracture surgery in the elderly .
To compare the impact of ASAP protocol (geriatric advice, early surgery, loco-regional anesthesia and pharmacological adaptation) on elderly patients with hip fracture and clinical outcome.
