Filter by:In this prospective case series patients with a tibial fracture are monitored with smart biofeedback systems to document the healing progression and real life weight.
Diaphyseal femoral and tibial fractures are in the spotlight within the traumatology-orthopedics scenario. Intramedullary nailing (IMN) remains the method of choice for treating these fractures, both open and closed ones. Occurrences of surgical site infection (SSI) related to this type of osteosynthesis are a challenge for all the professionals involved in patient healthcare. The reported incidence of SSI after IMN ranges from 0.9 to 17.5%. The majority of the data comes from retrospective studies and as part of case series descriptions, with little detail about the criteria used for defining and searching for cases of infection. Regarding the potential risk factors for this complication, previous use of external fixators, occurrence of open fractures and the severity of exposure according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification were indicated in a few retrospective studies as being possibly related to this complication. The objectives of the present observational cohort study are: 1. To determine the incidence of SSI related to IMN for fixation of diaphyseal femoral and tibial fractures in patients treated in a university traumatology and orthopedics reference hospital in São Paulo, Brazil; 2. To evaluate the risk factors related to the occurrence of this type of infection.
To construct a self-designed plate fixation device for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, aim to verify its advantages on anatomical knee stability, so as to achieve fracture healing and keep tension after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CERAMENT™|G used in conjunction with standard-of-care treatment compared to standard-of-care treatment alone in the care of subjects with open fractures of the tibial diaphysis.
This study will investigate the incidence and severity of anterior knee pain comparing two different approaches to tibial nail fixation; Infrapatellar versus percutaneous semi-extended suprapatellar incisions. Half the patients will be randomized to the gold standard infrapatellar approach with the other half being randomized to treatment with the percutaneous semi-extended suprapatellar approach.
The objective of this observational prospective study is to systematically document the clinical outcomes of Zimmer MotionLoc Screws for Periarticular Locking Plate System applied to distal tibia fracture treatment and confirm safety and performance of the screws.
The objective of this study is to develop methods for using forces measured on circular external fixators to predict the state of individual patient's healing of severe tibial fractures and defects.
This is a prospective, multi-national, multicenter, randomized, two arms, single blind, Standard of Care (SOC) controlled, with blinded central reading center study. This study will assess the safety and performance of BonyPid-1000™ in severe open tibial fractures (Gustilo IIIA and IIIB) when implanted as adjunct to SOC and compared to SOC alone.
This is a prospective clinical trial of tibial plateau fractures treated with internal fixation and a calcium sulfate graft which can be mixed with antibiotics and molded into various bead sizes for implantation into bone defects. The graft material chosen for this study is STIMULAN Rapid Cure (Biocomposites, UK), which is approved for use as a bone void filler and may be mixed with a variety of antibiotics. The combination of STIMULAN + antibiotic in bead form is the "study device". Our primary study aim is to look at resorption and remodeling of the study device into bone. Another important aim of the study is to look at subsidence, or collapse, of the joint surface.
This study assesses the long-term results of compound tibial reconstruction treated with a microvascular latissimus dorsi flap and bone transport technique during the last 25 year in Helsinki University central Hospital.
