Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of enoxaparin on bleeding and venous blood clots in patients with hip fracture surgery.
The intention is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-factorial medical treatment of patients with hip fractures in a specially designed unit for elderly hip fracture patients (orthogeriatric unit) as compared to traditional care in an orthopedic unit.
Elderly patients with an intertrochanteric hip fracture will be randomized to receive either a sliding hip screw (SHS) (control group) or InterTAN intermedullary nail (IMN) (experimental group) for surgical fixation of their hip fracture. This study will assess functional and mortality outcomes for elderly patients with hip fractures.
The purpose of this study is to determine the performance and efficacy during 6 and 12 month post operation. 1. determine changes in patient pain level 2. determine changes in patient functionality 3. determine changes in patient life quality
At the time of hysterectomy for benign disease, the overall health benefits of preserving ovarian function in a large population of women have not been established.
Elevated troponin is powerful and independent adverse prognostic marker in patient with ACS. However, non specific (non cardiac) troponin elevation is a common finding among hospitalized patients and worse prognosis too. The aim of this study is examine the prevalence of incidental cardiac troponin rise in a group of patient aged 65 and over admitted to geriatric department with hip fracture, and influence of troponin elevation on outcomes like ACS, death, motor and cognitive function.
The purpose of this research is to study the efficacy and cost effectiveness of the VAC device in comparison to traditional gauze wound dressing in pelvic, acetabular and hip fractures, specifically to see if there is a reduction in the incidence of post operative surgical wound drainage, infections, and hospital stay.
This is a study to compare the new nail "INTERTAN" with a Sliding Hip Screw in treating a specific group of hipfractures (trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures). Are there differences in terms of pain, early and late functional mobility and complications between the to implants (and methods of operation)?
In major orthopaedic surgery of the lower extremities both continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) and combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSE) are safe and reliable anaesthesia methods. Our results suggest that both continuous spinal anesthesia and combined spinal epidural anesthesia provide good surgical conditions with a low incidence of complications. The sensory block level and hemodynamic changes were lesser with CSA.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiological outcome of patients that are treated with two different orthopedic implants. The study population will consist of patients that have sustained unstable hip fractures. The two different implants will be randomly assigned. The null hypothesis states that there should not be any significant differences between the two implants.
