Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

Fractures of the acetabulum and pelvis are serious injuries to vital prognostic can play in cases of severe bleeding. In all cases the functional is a major issue with a potential reach of walking ability and maintaining the seated and standing positions. The treatment of such lesions requires management to a specialist, or the ability to use such centers for advice or transferring patients. This organization was recommended after the symposium of the French Society of Orthopedic Surgery (SOFCOT) in 2009. With the aging population, the incidence and clinical features of these fractures have evolved to worsening the functional prognosis. Club Basin acetabulum, body SOFCOT, wants to achieve an observational study assessing needs and practices at national and regional level. The long-term objective is to propose a regional organization of care of these patients in order to reduce morbidity and mortality associated.

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).

Treatment of lateral fractures of the clavicle is challenging and has been controversially discussed for a long time due to high non-union rates in non-operative treatment and high complication rates in surgical treatment. A recently developed implant was proven to ensure a biomechanically sufficient fixation of fractures leading to bony union and promising functional outcome in a small collective of patients.

Hip fractures are associated with a large hidden blood loss. That is, the total blood loss associated with hip fracture surgery is much greater than that observed intra operatively. There is currently no viable method of identifying patients at risk of transfusion. The on admission haemoglobin level has been shown to be falsely reassuring . We are conducting a study of 200 consecutive hip fracture patients. Thrombelastography (TEG) is taken on admission. The results are blinded to clinicians. Results will be evaluated at the end of the study, comparing intra-operative and total blood losses with the TEG profile of the patient.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how time from hospital admission to start of surgery influence mortality in patients with acute hip fracture. Data on patients with hip fracture surgery will be collected from the hospital's registration system and will be analyzed regarding age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification, type of surgery and time from admission to surgery along with data on mortality.

From prospectively collected health and life-style data and anthropometric data in the Malmo Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort identify factors that predicts or are associated with forthcoming fracture in middle-aged men and women.

Background Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common. Major complications, including irritation and rupture of the extensor tendons, may occur if epiphyseal screws of inappropriate length are used. Questions/Purposes The main objective of the present study was to determine whether the optimal epiphyseal screw length can be determined by reference to the diaphyseal screw length. Methods Forty CT scans were semi-automatically segmented. A 3D model of the volar plate was affixed to each distal radius with simulation. The maximum lengths of the diaphyseal screws, as well as the four distal epiphyseal screws, were measured. Linear regression analysis was performed.

165 patients admitted to two hospitals were included and short-time HRV measurements were obtained. Mortality data were gathered from the Norwegian central address register. Patients, close relatives of patients and in some cases their general physicians or nursery home physicians were interviewed six months postoperatively regarding the incidence of pneumonia, cardiac events or stroke.

Hip fracture surgery requires high risk anesthetic procedure for elderly patients (1). General anesthesia, continuous spinal anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks are three anesthetic techniques possible. Continuous spinal anesthesia has proven its efficacity to provide an intraoperative haemodynamic stability wich guarantees good patients outcomes (2), in comparison with general anesthesia but there is poor evidence in the literature concerning the use of peripheral nerve blocks. The primary objective of this study was to compare intraoperative haemodynamic stability provides by peripheral nerve block versus general anesthesia and continuous spinal anesthesia. Secondary outcomes included : use of vasoactive drugs, opioids consumption, lengh of stay and inhospital mortality.

The investigators will use multilevel multivariable regression analysis to measure the association of sex with provision of guideline-based perioperative care for hip fracture surgery in Ontario.
