Filter by: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 influence of clinical pharmacist on various drug related outcomes was reported in different healthcare setting including the community, long term care and during acute hospitalization. Nevertheless, data on the influence of clinical pharmacist intervention on the quality of drug prescribing and rehabilitation outcomes in post-acute hip fractured patients is scarce. The aims of the current study are to evaluate the contribution of a clinical pharmacist on the appropriateness of drug prescribing among post-acute geriatric hip fractured patients and to investigate whether this involvement can improve rehabilitation outcomes. The investigators hypothesis is that early review of geriatric hip fractured patients medical record by a clinical pharmacist will improve the appropriateness of drug treatment and the rehabilitation outcomes among this population.
The investigators propose to investigate the effect of intraoperative FICB and intrafragmentary fracture blockade on postoperative pain and opiate consumption using a randomized controlled trial study design. There will be three treatment groups: (1) fascia iliaca compartment blockade administered after surgical fixation using the loss of resistance technique with 30cc 0.25% marcaine (2) intrafragmentary fracture block using fluoroscopy guidance after surgical fixation with 30cc 0.25% marcaine and (3) placebo group, with no intervention.
Proximal femoral fractures(PFFs) are common with advancing age. Proximal femoral nail (PFN) is now increasingly used to fix unstable fractures. Studies have demonstrated that muscle strength deficit is significantly large after PFFs. N. Ivanova et al found that hip muscle isometric strength for the fractured leg was significantly decreased 1 week and 6 months postoperatively. Besides, a recent study done by Nitin Wale et al concluded that abductor weakness and trendeleburg gait are fairly common in patients treated with PFN and this complaint is often overlooked. Despite significant improvement in muscle function after at least 6 months of physiotherapy as demonstrated by previous studies, we didn't come over a study explaining the main causes of remaining abductor lurch in patients with united fracture of the proximal femur treated using proximal femoral nail (short type).
The purpose of this study will be to compare the failure and complications rates of and orthopedic implant (Cephalomedullary Nail) fixed with two different options actually available: lag screw or helical blade. The study population will be patient who have been diagnosed with an intertrochanteric hip fracture. Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that the helical blade will have a higher failure rate compared to the lag screw
This study aim to describe the presence, type and size of Corona mortis (CMOR) in patients undergoing total extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair procedures. This study also aim to describe the preperitoneal vascular anatomy of inguinal area and provide in vivo knowledge about CMOR.
The study was to compare blood Lactate levels between ear lobe and finger against venous forearm blood sample using the electronic hand held lactate device in hip fracture patients with good cognitive function (AMT >/= 7)
Hip fracture posed a major challenge to the health care system, with the one-year mortality of hip fracture reported as being approximately 20%. Perioperative haemoglobin level was associated with functional level of the patient and even mortality. Different methods for administration of tranexamic acid had been described. It was well established that systemic administration of tranexamic acid could reduce perioperative blood loss and transfusion rate. Topical administration had been shown to decrease blood loss and transfusion rate. The objective of our study is to investigate the hypothesis that tranexamic acid will reduce blood loss and transfusion rate in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
Background and purpose: Hip fracture, a common injury occurred in people aged over 50, may result in disability, poor quality of life, and higher care stress for their families. Aging population and growing number of hip fractures have increased medical expenses, so developed countries implemented post-acute care (PAC) to reduce acute hospitalization, and to improve the quality of care. PAC services can be delivered by hospital/facility-based and home-based services. Previous studies showed that both services could significantly improve patients' activities of daily living and quality of life, and reduce readmissions, long-term care and costs. Taiwan has implemented PAC plan for hip fractures since 2017, but relevant evidences are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of PAC for patients with hip fractures.
Spinal anesthesia (SA) is a widely accepted anesthetic technique for hip fracture repair among elderly. Positioning for SA can be extremely painful. Effective management of pain is important for these patients comfort. Fascia Iliaca block (FIB) and Femoral nerve blocks are commonly used for analgesia in hip fracture patients. However, they often provide a modest reduction in pain. The Percapsular Nerve Group block (PENG Block) has the advantage that it covers the accessory obturator nerve. Aim of the study: compare FIB with PENG prior to positioning hip fracture patients for standardized SA. In a prospective randomized double blind we included 80 patients aged more than 65 years old, for whom pain was felt when raising the affected limb to 15 degrees. Patients were assigned to receive either ultrasound guided Fascia Iliaca block or Percapsular Nerve Group block using 20 mL Lidocaine 1.5% in both groups. We compared pain on positioning for spinal anesthesia using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS 0 = no pain , VRS 1 = mild pain, t 2= severe pain) for both groups. We also recorded different times to perfom block.
