View clinical trials related to Tibia Fracture.
Filter by:Distal tibial fracture management is difficult because of poor blood supply resulted from subcutaneous location. Therefore, the study aims to compare expert intramedullary nail (IMN) with poller screws to the distal tibial locked plate regarding operative and complications outcomes
To study the incidence of non union of Unreamed intramedullary nailing in type IIIa Open diaphyseal fractures of the tibia as a primary outcome and the incidence of complications and clinical and functional outcome as a secondary outcome .
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the role of switching from cigarette smoking (CS) to tobacco heat system (THS) on the clinical outcome of closed tibia fractures from smokers' orthopedic patients. Validated and standardized assays, medical state and self-reported outcomes will be evaluated in orthopedic patients' smokers or switch from CS to using THS throughout six months compare to ex-smokers (control).
This project consists of a prospective case design. Study candidates will include all patients ages 18 and over who were evaluated at UCSD and found to have a critical-sized humerus, femur, or tibia segmental defect that would be fixed through surgery. Patients who consent to study participation will receive the TRUMATCH Graft Cage for their long bone segmental defect repair. Data on healing rates, complication rates, re-operation rates, time to return to normal activity, and pain levels will be collected for each participation. After 3 years of data collection, we will analyze this data to provide further insight on the utility of the TRUMATCH Graft Cage. Given the significant difficulty with repairing segmental long bone defects, it is imperative to evaluate novel systems to appropriately manage these injuries.
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing the use of two different surgical techniques--free-hand versus distal targeting jig-based for distal interlock screw--placement and their effects on total operative time and intraoperative radiation exposure.
Aim of our study is to compare immediate full weight-bearing and partial weight-bearing for 6 weeks after a tibial shaft fracture treated with intramedullary nailing. Co-primary outcome is return to work and physical component scale in the SF-36 questionnaire.
The proposed study is a two arm, pragmatic, randomized controlled multicenter Phase III noninferiority trial. 1,000 patients with tibia fractures treated with intramedullary (IM) nail will be randomized into two treatment arms. The control arm will receive standard pain management and no NSAIDs. The treatment arm will receive standard pain management plus up to six weeks of NSAIDs (3 weeks of prescribed medication followed by 3 weeks of medication PRN).
A prospective, randomized, evaluator-blinded, controlled study for subjects with open tibial fractures classified as Gustilo type II, IIIA or IIIB (see Appendix 1) who will receive bone graft implantation for the potential of delayed union or non-union within 3 months of fracture. Subjects will be followed for safety and clinical performance for the main study period of 30 weeks and an extension follow-up period up to 52 weeks after bone graft implantation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of administering CBD to control post-operative pain in patients undergoing ankle fracture open reduction and internal fixation, tibial plafond (pilon) open reduction and internal fixation, tibial shaft repair (open reduction internal fixation or intramedullary nail fixation), or tibial plateau open reduction and internal fixation. Secondly, the purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of CBD in comparison with opioid therapy for post-operative pain.
This prospective multinational, multicentre cohort study aims to investigate the hypothesis that biomarkers of muscle cell damage can predict acute compartment syndrome in patients with tibial fractures.
