Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

Acetabular fractures are the resultant from high-energy trauma or low-energy trauma in the elder patients. Usually, surgeons use LETOURNEL's classification or/and JUDET's one. Five elements are considered and associated to five type of fracture. Even more, for orthopaedic surgeons with less experience with these fractures, correct classification can be more difficult. So the the aim of this study is: Evaluate the efficacy of four "special" 3D reconstruction: a 3D reconstruction of the pelvis with anterior view, posterior view, endopelvic view where the opposite hemipelvis removed and an exopelvic view where the femoral head is removed according to the initial teaching of E. Letournel. Evaluate the addition of teaching of non-experimented surgeon on the accuracy of classifying acetabular fractures. Evaluate the addition of a digital algorithm (mobile application) on the accuracy of classifying acetabular fractures.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if immediate mobilization with weight bearing as tolerated following surgery with plates and screws after a fracture of the shinbone near the knee is possible without increased risk. The investigators hypothesize immediate weight bearing as tolerated following surgery with plates and screws of the above mentioned fracture, in cases deemed stable by the surgeon, will not lead to any loss of reduction.

To determine if TXA utilization is effective at reducing transfusion rates in elderly patients undergoing surgery for treatment of a hip fractures.

This study was designed to determine the impact of vitamin D serum levels and vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms on the occurrence of low energy fractures in children.

The purpose of this study is to determine if non-continuous local anesthetic fascia iliaca blocks performed in the emergency department are effective for preoperative analgesia in hip fracture patients. Investigators hypothesize that patients with these blocks will have lower opioid requirements than patients in a historical group in whom blocks were not performed.

This study will be a prospective, case - control trial looking at the use of a previously FDA approved device made by Stryker, a distal targeting system that eases the distal targeting of screws in cephalomedullary nails in hip and femoral shaft fractures. Patients who consent to participate in the study will either be in the control or device arm of the study depending on their surgeon.

Patients treated operative for Proximal humeral fractures with angular stable device (Philos plate or ALPS-PHP)

This study aims to investigate that performing supracondylar humerus fracture operations during daylight hours may have better results than performing them at night.

Pelvic ring fractures carry a high risk for severe bleeding. Expecially bleeding from the posterior ring might result in a fatal course. Different types of external emergency stabilization (EES) are available for the posterior pelvic ring, namely the non-invasive pelvic binder or the invasive pelvic c-clamp. Which stabilization technique is superior, has not been investigated yet.

In this single-center retrospective study, the investigators will include all patients admitted to Parkland Hospital who underwent surgical fixation of thoracolumbar fractures between the years 2000 and 2017. The study investigators will gather demographic, radiographic, and operative information. Patients will be matched according to demographic information in a case-control style. The primary outcome of the study will be comparing the clinical and radiographic outcomes of two surgical techniques in order to establish the best treatment approach for this disease.
