Filter by:This purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of nonopioid versus opioid analgesic regimens following surgical fixation of Gartland Type III Supracondylar Humoral Fractures (SCHFs) to assist in the development of a standard outpatient pain management regimen in the treatment of these injuries.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about long term outcomes in Supracondylar Humeral Fracture in children after surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - how good is the elbow function - what are the post-operative complication - what is the time before return to sport - what is the aesthetic prejudice of the scar for the patient Participants will answer questionnaries and send photographs of their elbows to the examinator
There are two common and concurrently used strategies for pain management following surgical treatment of supracondylar humerus (elbow) fractures in children: opioids vs over the counter pain medications. The purpose of this study is to determine if ibuprofen and acetaminophen can provide similar or better pain relief compared to ibuprofen and hydrocodone/acetaminophen (also known as Hycet) for this population of children after they have been discharged. If over the counter medications can provide adequate pain relief, then fewer opioid prescriptions would be necessary. This reduces early opioid exposure and decreases unnecessary opioids in circulation.
This study aims to determine if removing supracondylar pins immediately following cast removal and prior to X-ray decreases patient and parent/guardian anxiety compared to pin removal following cast removal and X-ray. The research team hypothesizes that patient anxiety response will be lower when pins are removed immediately following cast removal compared to our current standard of care. Secondarily, this study will determine if there is an association between patient anxiety response and their parent's/guardian's anxiety.
The purpose of this study is to determine if using the combination of acetaminophen (also known as Tylenol) and ibuprofen (also known as Motrin or Advil) will provide equal or better pain control as compared to acetaminophen-hydrocodone (also known as Lortab), in children with broken elbows who need surgery. This study will examine whether the combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen can provide pain control as well as or better than acetaminophen-hydrocodone so that doctors might be able to prescribe less acetaminophen-hydrocodone (which can be addictive) to children in the future. Currently, the standard of care for pain control following this kind of elbow surgery is acetaminophen-hydrocodone.
The purpose of this study was to compare pin configuration effects on early secondary displacement in the surgical treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures (SCHF).
The objective of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to evaluate and compare the outcome of the 2wire vs 3 wire crossed pin configurations in the management of supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
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.
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.
The purpose of this study to investigate post-operative pain control in pediatric patients with closed supracondylar humerus fracture who undergo closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Currently, it is standard of care that patients receive a narcotic prescription for post-operative pain control. All patients will initially be seen in our pediatric urgent care and recruited at the time of surgery. Patients will be randomized to receiving acetaminophen and ibuprofen or acetaminophen and oxycodone. Parents will not be blinded to the acetaminophen but both investigators, parents and the patients will be blinded to the study drug (ibuprofen or oxycodone). Pain level will be assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES scale and parents will be asked to fill out a questionnaire regarding their satisfaction with the surgery and pain control. Parents will also fill out a medication log until the patient no longer requires pain medication. The duration of participation in the study is approximately 1 week and requires 2 visits (time of recruitment at surgery to 1st post-op visit). This study is being conducted in hopes of reducing opioid prescription after surgical fixation of uncomplicated supracondylar humerus fractures if our study can show that patient's pain levels post-operatively and parent/patient satisfaction are unchanged or improved in the acetaminophen and ibuprofen arm.
