Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to assess the prevalence of radiographic knee osteoarthritis and to report medium and long term functional outcomes secondary to tibia plateau fractures. The second aim was to investigate whether there were any risk factors associated with these outcomes.
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
The goal of this observational study is to examine and confirm the clinical performance of the Fitbone Transport and Lengthening System in adult patients (21 years and older) who require lower-limb lengthening, fracture fixation and/or treatment for previous non-healing fracture. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are their any unanticipated safety issues with the product when used in a real-world setting? 2. Does the product provide the anticipated clinical benefit when used in a real-world setting? Participants will have been selected by their physician to be treated with the Fitbone Transport and Lengthening System as part of treatment for their condition or injury. All procedures will be according to the physician's standard care practices. There are no study-specific procedures or requirements for participants in this study.
This is a multi-center, pragmatic, parallel arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 352 patients with high-risk open or closed tibial plateau fracture, high-risk open or closed tibial pilon fracture, or open tibial shaft fracture with incision >3cm. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) or a non-suction standard-of-care wound dressing for their definitive wound management. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status 3 months after randomization. The secondary outcomes will independently assess the components of the primary outcome.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine if accelerated flap coverage compared to standard flap coverage timing leads to improved infection-related complications in patients with open fractures and/or dislocations below the knee. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either a flap within a goal of 72 hours of injury or standard of care flap timing for the institution. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status 6 months after randomization. Components of the composite outcome will be hierarchically assessed in the following order: 1) all-cause mortality, 2) amputation related to injury, 3) re-operation for infection and/or flap complication (flap compromise, partial and/or complete flap failure), and 4) days in hospital, defined as days in an acute in-patient hospital (i.e., not rehab or nursing facility).
The aim of this study is to study the incidence of open tibial fractures in early teenagers and evaluate the management 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 .
Stress fractures (fatigue or insufficiency fracture) are caused by the mismatch between bone strength and chronic stress applied to the bone. The vast majority of these fractures occur in the lower extremity. Early-stage diagnosis is crucial to optimize patient care. Appropriate imaging is relevant in confirming diagnosis after clinical suspicion of stress fractures. Radiographs have low sensitivity, so a relevant number of fractures go undetected. MRI has a high sensitivity, but its availability is limited, and its respective examination time is prolonged. This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of PCCT in lower extremity stress fractures as a dose-saving technology, guaranteeing an examination according to the ALARA-principle (as low as reasonably achievable).
Delayed union or nonunion, which is a common complication of periarticular fractures repaired with angled locking plate systems, may be due to the unintentionally rigid formation of this system. This study aimed to compare the results of the treatment of distal tibial fractures made more flexible using the far cortical locking (FCL) technique with the classical bicortical locking screw (BL) technique.
The purpose is to find out if incorporation of an intraoperative electro auricular acupuncture protocol when added to a standard multimodal analgesic regimen for patients undergoing surgery to repair lower leg fracture under spinal anesthesia will help reduce postoperative opioid use.
