Filter by:To reproduce anatomical reduction and appropriate implant placement/choices during osteosynthesis for elbow fractures, a 3D preoperative planning system was developed. To assess the utility of 3D digital preoperative planning for the osteosynthesis of distal humerus fractures, the reproducibility of implant reduction shapes and placements in patients with distal humerus fractures will be evaluated.
The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical, functional and radiological results in patients treated with posterior MIPO for Humerus Diaphyseal Fractures With Extra-articular Distal Humeral Anatomical Plate.
Prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial studying infection rate with or without prophylactic antibiotics at the time of closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures.
The objective of this project is to determine if giving a cortisone injection to patients with proximal humerus fractures who have stiff shoulders recover their range of motion.
This is a randomized control trial comparing the outcome of ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) with EHA (elbow hemiarthroplasty) for distal humeral fractures in patients aged 50 years or above.
A novel K-wire external fixation device was developed by the investigators. The K-wires can be connected by the device. After connection, the structure of the K-wires is transformed to an external skeletal fixator. Therefore, the K-wires are stabilized and unable to migrate independently. The stability of fracture fixation is better in patient with this K-wire external fixation device. The purposes of this study are to optimize the K-wire external fixation device and test its function in real clinical practice.
Prospective data will be collected in approximately 3500 patients (700 per 5 injury groups). Patients will be followed up according to the standard (routine) for up to 1 year after the treatment. Data collection will include underlying disease, treatment details, patient reported outcomes (PROs), anticipated or procedure-related adverse events (i.e. complications), and radiological outcomes.
The proximal humerus fracture (PHFs) is the third most common fracture type in the elderly, and represents 5% of the overall fractures. The incidence is increasing. The purpose of the project is to compare surgical and conservative management of two- part PHFs in light of radiological, economical and clinical outcome. Do the participants between 60 and 85 years of age with displaced two-part PHFs fare better or worse after surgery compared to non-operative treatment?
Fractures of the shoulder, the so-called proximal humeral fractures, can be treated with locking plates that have shown good results in clinical practice, but complications can occur. In order to further improve the treatment of proximal humerus fractures and decrease the rate of fixation failures, further research is necessary. As a first step, the reasons for potential implant failures need to be understood. This study has been initiated by scientists at the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI), Switzerland, which is the research center of the AO Foundation (www.aofoundation.org), an international non-profit organization led by surgeons specialized in fractures such as these. Researchers at the ARI have been developing a computational simulation tool to predict fixation failure and demonstrated its efficiency in laboratory conditions. This clinical study has been organised to validate this tool using patient data, by comparing the risk of mechanical failure predicted by the computer simulated model with the clinically observed fixation failure. In future, this computer simulation tool is expected to help surgeons to select the best fixation for a given patient and to develop improved implants.
This study evaluates the effects of T2 paravertebral block block improving interscalene brachial plexus block and superficial cervical plexus block on the relief of pain intensity during elderly proximal humerus fracture fixation surgery. The brachial plexus and cervical plexus block(IC block) will be performed in half of participants, while the T2 paravertebral block combined with IC block will be performed in the other half.
