Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

The study deals with the topic of treatment of Jones fracture, comparing surgical and conservative approach. The fracture occurs especially in highly active individuals.

The treatment of unstable, non-reducible distal radial fractures is still controversial. The aim of the present study is to compare the subjective, clinical and radiographic outcome of the TriMed fragment-specific system with a volar locking plate in patients with unstable, non-reducible and also redislocated distal radial fractures.

The purpose of this study was to determine if internal fixation of the medial malleolus is necessary following open reduction and internal fixation of the lateral and, if required, the posterior malleolus treating displaced bi-or trimalleolar ankle fractures.

The purpose of this study is to find whether to operate or treat conservatively dislocated midshaft clavicle fractures.

The primary purpose of this study is to illustrate whether there is a difference in the 6 minutes walking test in patients with hip fractures who have received 6 vs. 12 weeks of physical training after discharge from hospital.

The number of osteoporotic fractures, among which the fractures of the lower extremity of the radius (16 % of fractures seen in emergencies) is going to increase. Several surgical techniques are described in particular locking plates and intrafocal pinning techniques. The aim of the study is to compare (X-ray assessments and functional outcome) these two types of treatment by using a prospective, randomised multicentric analysis.

The primary aim of this study was to determine the Harris hip score as an evaluation of hip function, in mentally competent elderly patients (>65 years old) treated with either THR or IF, after contracting a displaced femoral neck fracture. The secondary aim was to compare the rate of reoperations and complications between the two groups.

Clavicle fractures are frequent and represent somewhere between 5 and 10% of all fractures seen in orthopedics. There is no consensus concerning the best treatment of acute, displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures. Conservative treatment has, traditionally, been the preferred treatment but recent studies have shown higher incidences of non-union and symptomatic malunion associated with conservative treatment. Primary surgery has in several studies been associated with high success rates and few complications but there is no compelling evidence towards superior results after primary surgery. The objective of this randomized study is to compare conservative treatment (sling) with primary surgery (locking plate) of acute, displaced, midshaft clavicle fractures.

The purpose of this study is to compare the abductor muscle strength measured with a dynamometer in patients with reverse oblique inter- or subtrochanteric fractures treated either with a proximal femur locking plate or a trochanteric nail. "Proximal femur locking plates" stands for both the PF-LCP (Synthes) and the PeriLoc (Smith & Nephew). Trochanteric nails allowed in this study are the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA), the Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) and the Gamma Nail (GN).

Patients with a displaced, shortened, midshaft clavicular fracture are randomized in two groups: conservative or operative treatment. The conservative arm is treated with a sling for 6 weeks. The operative arm is treated with osteosynthesis, within 2 weeks. Patients are clinically and radiologically evaluated during 1 year. A economical analysis is also done.
