Filter by:Hip fractures are a major cause litigation in patients undergoing trauma surgery. Common causes of litigation in hip operations are alleged incompetent surgery and development of pressure sources, both of which are associated with poor quality of consent. One aspect of poor consent is patients not being able to retain information discussed with them prior to their operation. There are many factors attributed to this, including pain in the acute setting, administration of sedating medications and the high rate of delirium in this patient cohort. However, even in individuals deemed to have capacity during the consent process, studies have shown that many were unable to explain what type of surgery they had or express knowledge of the potential complications. Importantly, the hip fracture patient demographic is very different from patients undergoing a planned procedure, in that they have had an acute injury following physical trauma, tend to be older and medically frailer. Research into the recall of patients undergoing gynaecological or abdominal surgeries further corroborate patients' poor recall of potential complications in the acute setting. Patients with hip fractures face a range of risks, some of which can result in a substantial mortality rate regardless of whether surgery is performed. The list of complications includes infections in the hip joint and wound, development of pressure sores, occurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), myocardial infarction, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, and potential procedural failures. As such, the ability of patients to remember the discussed complications is critical to their well-being and overall quality of life and remains an unmet clinical need.
Aim of the study is to describe and study the patterns of floating hip injuries and assess the current management in Assiut University Hospitals Trauma Centre to help reach the best approach to plan treatment for these severe and difficult injuries.
This study aims to address hip labral tears and compare between arthroscopic labral repair versus debridement.
The purpose of the study is to collect post-market clinical follow-up data, which is needed to confirm the safety and performance of the JuggerKnot device and meet existing EU regulatory requirements.
Functional Hop tests and balance measurements are frequently used to decide on returning to sports after lower extremity injuries. Although the athletes show proficiency in these tests and measurements, re-injuries occur when returning to sports. The causes of these re-injuries are mostly functional deficiencies such as inadequate neuromuscular control and stability. In the competition or sports environment, especially in team games, the athlete also shows cognitive performance, such as communication with teammates and following the game, which are included in the game setup, as well as the physical performance. Performing many tasks or performances at the same time divides the focus of attention on the activities performed, and if the person cannot adequately meet the attention demands, the quality of one or more of the tasks performed will deteriorate. As the level of expertise in the sport increases, the athlete tends to manage his posture, balance and movement with automatic postural control and can focus his attention on a new task. The concept of focus of attention has been evaluated from different perspectives over time. If it is examined in terms of direction; It is divided into two as the internal focus of attention, which is used by focusing on body movements during the performance of the person, and the external focus of attention, which is used by focusing on the effect of the movement during the performance of the person. As the investigators planned in this study, a second cognitive task assigned to the participant simultaneously during his or her physical performance acts as an external focus of attention, allowing movement control during performance to be carried out by unconscious or automatic processes. The investigators's aim; It is to examine the balance and functional hop tests that the investigator will apply in athletes by combining them with a simultaneous dual cognitive task that will reflect the field conditions more realistically. In the meantime, investigators think that with the sharing of our results with the literature, it can contribute to both the decision-making processes to return to sports after injury and preventive rehabilitation programs.
Groin injuries present a major problem in sports due to its high frequency, long-lasting symptoms and high risk of re-injury. The most common groin injury is the adductor strain (around two thirds of all groin injuries), while the biggest risk factors are previous injury and lower hip adductors strength. The purpose of this study is to present and biomechanically evaluate several new strengthening exercises targeting hip adductors. Exercises will be performed with the use of our novelty device, which enables eccentric strengthening of the hip adductors in different hip and knee positions. We hypothesize that performing modified hip adductors exercises using the novelty device could enable participants to perform hip adduction throughout larger ROM during eccentric contractions, while changing hip and/or knee angle will differently affect muscle activity and produced joint torques. The latter could be helpful for preventive or rehabilitative training for hip adductors strain injuries, in which therapists want to target specific hip adductor muscle.
