Filter by:Postoperative pain in hip fractures is challenging and requires adequate management. Peripheral nerve blocks are already known as superior than systemic analgesia in this scenario, but the best analgesic regional technique is still unknown. The investigators propose a study to compare the postoperative analgesia of hip fractures between pericapsular nerve group block plus lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block and suprainguinal fascia iliaca block
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and complication profile of local vancomycin application in primary arthroplasty. The investigators hypothesized that the use of local antibiotics would decrease the rate of infection compared to controls and this will be achieved by applying 1 gm of vancomycin powder intracapsularly.
Proximal femoral nail [PFNA] versus dual mobility arthroplasty in treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures
The systemic effects of spinal anesthesia is not fully known. Our aim of this study is to assess whether there is a difference in hemodynamic effects if the spinal dose is given fast (15s) or slow (90s) in elderly patients with acute hip fracture (AHF). Ninety (n=90) patients with AHF planned for surgery within 72h at our hospital will be enrolled in the study and randomly devided into two groups. The patients will receive one predetermined dose of spinal anesthesia followed by an advanced minimally-invasive hemodynamic monitoring through an arterial line using FloTrac-system. The hemodynamic parameters will be conducted 10 minutes prior to the spinal anaesthesia and 30 minutes after the spinal block is given. Hypotension was defined as a fall in MAP > 30 % or a MAP <65mmHg.
Hip fracture in elderly patients is a pathology with a high economic and health impact on the patient himself and on the National Health System, especially considering the significant aging of the population of the Basque Country. Despite advances, hip fracture remains in the clinical groups with the highest in-hospital mortality. Hip fracture is associated with numerous adverse events and high mortality. Numerous antifibrinolytics, such as tranexamic acid (TXA), have been used to limit bleeding in orthopedic surgery and thus prevent the need for blood transfusion. Numerous studies have shown that the use of tranexamic acid does not increase the risk of thrombosis. It is proposed to carry out clinical research with drugs without commercial interest. A randomized, double-blind clinical trial to assess the efficacy of tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss in elderly patients with hip fracture.
This was a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled study. Patients with pelvic fractures (Tile B and c) were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an Red Society Hospital and Xi'an 521 hospital, the patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the Order of admission: Experimental Group (intraoperative navigation combined with channel screw technique) and Control Group (open reduction and plate internal fixation) , the difference of operative effect between the two groups was compared by fracture reduction, channel screw position, operative time, fluoroscopy frequency, hospitalization time, hospitalization cost, recovery time and Mayo Score. Use Access 2003 to build a database and store data; use SPSS 21.0. 0 Software for statistical analysis. The entire process required the development of a standardized staff manual, and all were subject to rigorous training and examination in order to participate in the pilot, and the investigation process was supervised by the project leader.
The INTACT-HIP trial study will evaluate feasibility of conducting a randomized, double-blinded controlled trial comparing postoperative treatment with intravenous (IV) acetaminophen versus oral acetaminophen, in older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. The results of this feasibility trial will be used to inform designing a larger, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of IV acetaminophen compared to oral acetaminophen to reduce delirium and improve other clinical and patient-centered outcomes after hip fracture surgery. It will randomize 42 older adults to receive either oral or IV acetaminophen after hip fracture surgery.
The main objective is to determine if ultrasound guided suprainguinal iliac fascia block leads in better clinical outcomes such as pain management or time to home discharge.
The purposes of this study are to determine the benefits of a pre-operative aerobic exercise program and an 8-week postoperative aerobic exercise program with a portable upper extremity cycle-ergometer in patients with hip fracture.
The primary aim of the proposed pilot feasibility is to determine whether it is feasible to recruit patients with a hip fracture into a prospective study and randomize them to either indwelling or intermittent catheterization. The study hypothesis is that the investigators would be able to show that this study can be incorporated into clinical practice, with satisfactory rate of patient recruitment and retention. Thus, the investigators would be able to compete this pilot study trial and proceed towards a multi-center trial.
