Examination of Microcirculation of the Caput Humeri After Proximal Humerus Fracture
Proximal Humeral FracturesThis study examines the microcirculation of the caput humeri after proximal humeral fracturation using O2C light probes. During the operation the blood circulation is measured at four points (tuberculum majus, tuberculum minus, neck and head of the humerus) directly on the bone. The O2C light probes are a none-invasive technique of measuring blood flow, velocity and oxygen concentration. The data is analysed in respect to the fracture type according to the classification of Neer. Valuable additional information for the correct treatment and prognosis of humeral fractures is expected.
Ankle Fracture vs Ankle Fracture-Dislocation
Ankle FracturesThe purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of patients with an ankle fracture to those with ankle fracture-dislocations. We hypothesize that long-term clinical outcomes for patients sustaining ankle fracture dislocations are poorer than those without dislocation.
Prevalence of Vertebral Fractures in HIV Infected Patients Older Than 50 Years
Vertebral FracturesProspective cohort study to determine the prevalence of vertebral fractures in HIV infected patients older than 50 years.
Radiological Riskfactors for Dislocation of Hip Hemiarthroplasty
DislocationFemoral Neck FractureBetween January 1 2006 and December 31 2013, at our department 324 patients underwent hemiarthroplasty (HA) for displaced femoral-neck fracture with a bipolar prosthesis (Variokopf, Link®, Germany) by the use of the posteriolateral approach. Patients with pathological fractures and HA performed with direct lateral approach were excluded. A retrospective cohort study were conducted. Patients with prosthetic dislocation formed one group and patients without dislocation formed the control group. As standard, post surgery radiographs (anteroposterior and lateral) were taken. After these were performed patient started weight bearing as soon as possible. Clinical data regarding patient demographics, details of the surgical procedure and the medical comorbidities were collected by the use of patient and operative records. Radiological analysis with position evaluation was performed using the post surgery radiographs by measuring Wiberg angle, inequality of leg length and femoral offset of the prostheses and compared with non-operated hip joint using the post surgery x-ray images. Our hypothesis were that patients with single- or recurrent dislocations had shortened postoperative leg length, decreased femoral offsed and a Wiberg angle less than 25 degrees.
Comparison of Early and Late Therapy for Adults With Operatively Treated Distal Radius Fractures...
Distal Radius FracturesThe purpose of the study is to compare two common ways of rehabilitating after surgery for distal radius fractures treated operatively with a volar plate.
The Influence of Local Bone Status on Complications After Surgical Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures...
Distal Radius FracturesPoor Bone Quality1 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate if poor bone quality increases the risk of specific types of treatment complications in patients with distal radius fractures treated with open reduction and Locking Compression Plates(LCP).

DePuy Trochanteric (ATN) Nailing Clinical Outcomes Trial
Femoral Fracture (Proximal)The purpose of this study is to monitor trochanteric fracture healing and review the performance of the ATN system.
Acetabular Fractures of Both Columns
Acetabular FracturesBoth ColumnsThe purpose of this research is to study a specific acetabular (hip socket) fracture pattern and how its treatment affects the functional, clinical, and x-ray outcomes. There are no experimental procedures involved.
Vertebral Fracture and Osteonecrosis Associated With High-dose Glucocorticoid
Vertebral FractureOsteonecrosis1 moreOsteoporotic vertebral fracture (VF) and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (OFH) are major concerns in patients with systemic rheumatic diseases treated with high-dose glucocorticoids (GCs). The investigators examined and compared the incidence and risk factors of VF with those of OFH in patients who had recently received high-dose GC therapy to clarify the relationship between these two complications.
