NCT ID: NCT05805774 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Distal Femur Fracture

pDIFFIR: Geriatric Periprosthetic DIstal Femur: FIxation Versus Replacement

pDIFFIR
Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Periprosthetic distal femur fractures are a significant source of morbidity and mortality for elderly patients. One treatment option involved a surgical fixation with plates or nails, screws and cables/wires along the side of your fractured bone. The second method consists in replacing your knee joint with an artificial knee prosthesis (artificial knee joint). The primary objective is to determine if acute distal femur replacement improves knee pain and functional outcomes compared to surgical fixation. Secondary outcomes are mortality, reoperation, complications, post-operative pain and quality of life. A health economic analysis will be conducted to assess the cost-effectiveness of both treatments. A total of 148 patients (74/group) will be enrolled in the study.

NCT ID: NCT05464771 Completed - Hip Fractures Clinical Trials

Start date: December 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study estimates the impact of patient safety events on QoL in elective surgery patients using a secondary data set

NCT ID: NCT05317676 Withdrawn - Tibial Fractures Clinical Trials

Effect of Palmitoylethanolamide on Reducing Opioid Consumption for Below Knee Fracture Fixation

Start date: May 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a non-psychoactive cannabis compound derived from peanuts, egg yolks, and soybeans, is an Endogenous FA Amide produced in the body as a biological response and a repair mechanism in chronic inflammation and chronic pain. In animal and clinical trials, PEA has also shown evidence of pain reduction, sleep improvement, and increased joint mobility and function with minimal side-effects. The study team intends to study whether the inclusion of PEA in conjunction with standard post-surgical medications can reduce pain and inflammation while decreasing the number of opioids needed.

NCT ID: NCT03822247 Recruiting - Hip Fractures Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Multidisciplinary Recovery After Surgery Program in Orthopedics and Traumatology

Start date: December 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the recovery protocol is to reduce surgical trauma, postoperative pain, and complications, shorten hospital treatment and improve postoperative recovery. Orthopedic and traumatology surgeries are often followed by a long-lasting recovery with difficulties of everyday functioning. Up to this time, only a few publications of multidisciplinary protocol in orthopedics and traumatology have been published, mostly to improve the care of patients after elective surgical procedures. The goal of multidisciplinary after surgery recovery program in orthopedics and traumatology is to improve the care of both urgent and elective patients using standardized, multi-professional care programs. It focuses on patient education, preoperative respiratory training, adequate nutritive and hemodynamic support, modified anesthesia protocol, prevention of postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting, and early postoperative delirium detection. The implementation of the program will reduce the rate of postoperative complications and the rate of rehospitalization, enhance the recovery after surgery and increase the satisfaction with the treatment.
