Filter by:This is a study intended to evaluate a non-invasive device that uses light to measure the amount of oxygen in the muscles of injured and non-injured legs in specific situations. The name of this technology is NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy). The goal of this study is to collect the information necessary to understand the use of the NIRS monitoring system to diagnose and direct treatment decisions in case of complications sometimes experienced in traumatic tibia fracture, such as excessive swelling called acute compartment syndrome (ACS).
In Taiwan, about 75.92% of the elderlies above 65 years old suffered from chronic diseases or major diseases, especially in circulatory system. Thus, dramatic hemodynamic change is often observed in surgeries in this population. Due to osteoporosis and high-prevalence morbidities, trauma with fracture is quite common. These elderlies are more vulnerable to have complications, poor prognosis and decompensated organ functions. The investigators would like to observe the perfusion of different tissue intra-operatively, and to find the correlation with surgical outcome. There are many non-invasive hemodynamic monitors nowadays. In our study, the investigators will use noninvasive cardiac output measurement(NICOM), and non-invasive transcutaneous near infrared spectroscopy(NIRS) to observe hemodynamic change and tissue perfusion. After the surgery, the duration in ICU will be recorded. A questionnaire, SF-36, will be mailed to the patients 2 months after the surgery to measure the psychometric status.
This study is a case-control prospective, clinal trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the allogeneic adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on the healing of recent tibial fracture in 40 patients.
The objective of this research is to prospectively evaluate a group of patients with shaft compound fracture of the tibia, treated with a biplanar external fixator or locked intramedullary reamed nail. The investigators evaluate the quality of life, bone healing and postoperative complications.
The primary objective of this study is to observe the safety, the radiological and clinical outcomes of chronOS Inject after having been used as bone void filler in internal fixation of proximal tibial fractures.
this study will perform to compare the results and functional outcomes of tibial plateau fractures treated with non-locking and locking plate fixation.
The purpose is to study: 1. the frequency of vitamin D deficiency at patients with tibial fracture treated with an external ring fixator 2. if vitamin D supplement facilitates fracture healing 3. a possible relation between vitamin D deficiency and the risk of complications and the time of fracture healing
To acquire and build a library of image sets to determine if Fuji's TOMO imaging device can replace or compliment current imaging standards to assess patients with hip, wrist or tibia injuries.
Toddler's fractures of the tibia are by definition non-displaced and of a stable pattern. Children have thickened periosteum compared with adults, which therefore may impart stability to the fracture without the need for additional immobilization. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether or not there is a difference in children treated with and without cast immobilization in regards to time to ambulation; perceived pain; difficulty in dressing & bathing; radiographic displacement or angulation; and time missed from work or daycare. Our null hypothesis is that there will be no difference in clinical or radiographic outcomes between the groups.
This study will utilize T1-Rho MRI to evaluate the effect of intramedullary nailing on patellofemoral articular cartilage when the surgery is performed using the infrapatellar vs. the suprapatellar approach. Subjects will be randomized to one or the other standard care surgical approaches.
