Filter by:Malnutrition of elder orthopaedic patients leads to weight loss and loss of fat free mass. Changes in the individual’s nutritional status and body composition may adversely affect the patient’s postoperative level of activity. Aim. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to report changes in postoperative weight, FFM and functions vital to daily living in a group of elder orthopaedic patients that were actively involved in their nutritional care during the hospital stay.
To determine whether administration of Alendronate early is more effective than late in the prevention of osteoporosis following a hip fracture
The primary aim of this study is to determine, in hypogonadal older men with physical frailty, whether exercise training combined with testosterone replacement therapy can improve skeletal muscle strength, and lean mass, to a greater degree than exercise training alone.
The study examines time spent in the emergency room on admission of patients with hip fracture in a cohort with a traditional setup compared with a prospective cohort with a fast track admission schedule including nurse initiation of treatmnet, standardized analgesia, fluid and oxygen therapy and standardized logistics for x-ray and admission procedures.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of tranexamic acid in hip fracture surgery on the reduction of allogeneic red blood cell transfusion.
Although Standard of Care for Hip Fractures is the Device (Dynamic Hip Screw) being studied in this project, and both sizes (the 2 and the 4 hole versions) are currently in use there is not widespread agreement yet whether there is an optimal number of screws (2 or 4) required for the best outcomes. If it can be shown that a 2 hole version is just as successful in outcomes it would allow for a smaller incision (surgical cut) at the site of the fracture. This could reduce soft tissue dissection, operating time, and surgical blood loss. This in turn would reduce post operative pain, blood loss, and hospital length of stay.
This study is requested by PMDA to confirm the efficacy and the safety for HFS.
We are looking after gene-polymorphies in the p2x7-gene in patient with osteoporotic fractures.
To examine the influence of regular hypnotic therapy on the incidence of delirium after hip fracture surgery
Osteoporotic fractures of the hip are a major cause of admission to long-term care facilities. Such fractures put patients at high risk for further fractures, pain and disability. Current data show that many patients in long-term care facilities do not receive FDA medications for their osteoporosis. This trial will test whether a multi-model intervention (which provides feedback about provider use of osteoporosis medications, information about osteoporosis, and currently approved osteoporosis medications)directed at physicians, other health care providers, and nurses will improve the number of prescriptions written for FDA approved medications for osteoporosis treatment.
