Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

Tibial shaft fracture is a common fracture in the pediatric and adolescent population. The outcomes of both conservative and operative treatment are not clear and to date there is no randomized prospective trial comparing different methods of treatment. The investigators will conduct a multicenter, randomized non-inferiority trial comparing closed reduction and cast immobilization to intramedullary nailing in 6-15 year old children and adolescents with displaced tibial shaft fractures and open proximal tibial physis.

The goal of this interventional randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical outcomes in treating extremities pathological fractures (fractures of limbs caused by metastatic tumors) or impending pathological fractures with short or long intramedullary nails. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the rate of developing new distant metastasis of the operated extremities? Does treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long intramedullary nails have lower or similar reoperation rate than the short nails? Are there any differences when comparing the surgical-related complication, functional outcomes and life quality assessment between treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long or short intramedullary nails. Participants who meet surgical indication will be randomized into either the long or short intramedullary nail group after informed consent. The patient will receive bone fixation with the corresponding prosthesis.

The goal of this study is to determine if weight-bearing crutch technology that delivers active feedback to patients during their treatment will impact patient compliance with physician instructions.

Distal radius fracture is the most common fracture in Sweden, but little is known about the patient's experience of pain and hand function during the first three months after the injury. This observational study will provide detailed information on a daily basis regarding pain, use of analgesic drugs, use of splints and hand function as measured weekly by a condition-specific questionnaire.

The aim of the study is to investigate postoperative pain relief for patients undergoing surgical treatment of proximal femoral fracture using intrathecal administration of morphine.

Rib fractures are common after blunt injury to the chest. Present in 10% of blunt trauma admissions. Pain associated with rib fractures can result in compromise of pulmonary function causing hypoxaemia or pneumonia, which may require mechanical ventilation. Adequate relief of rib fracture pain allows the patient to breathe deeply, avoid intubation and clear secretions effectively, which will minimise the pulmonary complications . Pain control is essential for not only primary pain relief but also preventing secondary complications such as atelectasis or pneumonia as well as the transition to chronic pain. Accordingly, further steps are now being taken from the conventional pain control medication and techniques by the introduction of more aggressive pain control measures .Traditional regional anaesthesia (RA) techniques such as paravertebral, intercostal and epidurals injections are resource-intensive and time-consuming, limited to single dermatomes; provide incomplete analgesia of the hemithorax; and are associated with significant potential complications such as local anaesthetic intoxication, vasovagal syncope, hemi diaphragmatic paresis and pneumothorax . The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel fascial plane block. Its use has been documented in numerous instances with positive outcomes in controlling acute as well as chronic pain. The most popular technique was the continuous infusion through a catheter . Fascial plane blocks that can be used for rib fracture pain management are serratus anterior plane block, erector spinae plane block and the rhomboid intercostal and subserratus (RISS) block. The procedure is more simple to use with a lower incidence of complications ,less time consuming , more superficial than others so it can be used in patients on anticoagulant therapy . Providing analgesia for patients with rib fractures continues to be a management challenge. Therefore, further studies are needed comparing between different techniques to prove their efficacy in pain management

The aim of this study is to apply pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block or fascia iliaca plan block using ultrasonography to patients who will undergo hip fracture surgery, while giving sitting position before spinal anaesthesia and to reduce postoperative pain complaints. Thanks to these blocks, it is aimed to reduce pain complaints and the need for morphine-derived painkillers before and after surgery.

Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures treated by hand therapists. These patients are most conservatively treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization. Since there is an immobilization process after both treatments, a limitation in the range of motion of the joint occurs in patients. For this reason, most of the treatment models applied in rehabilitation are about restoring the range of motion of the joint. In general, kinesiophobia occurs due to joint limitation and pain. Loss of proprioception occurs in patients with mobility and desire as a result of kinesiophobia. By investigating the techniques used in rehabilitation, the more correct one for the patient can be selected. There is no clear result in the literature about which of the application methods is more effective. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) based stretching and Mulligan mobilization on pain, proprioception (joint position sense), wrist functionality, muscle strength and kinesiophobia in patients with joint limitation after distal radius end fracture. Thirty-four individuals aged 18-65 who were referred to a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program after distal radius end fracture will be included in the study. Individuals will be randomized into two groups. In the study, algometer and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the pain intensity of the patients, universal goniometer for the evaluation of the forearm and wrist joint range of motion, microFET®2 Digital Handheld Dynamometer for the evaluation of the strength of the wrist flexor and extensor muscles, ulnar and radial deviation muscles. device will be used. The functional use of the wrist of the individuals is using the patient-based wrist assessment questionnaire (Patient Graded Wrist Assessment PRWE), the sense of attachment position for proprioception, and the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) for kinesiophobia. In our study, an exercise program will be applied with a physiotherapist for 6 weeks, 2 days a week, 45 minutes. To the first group; In addition to the traditional treatment, Mulligan mobilization will be applied, and the second group will be applied to the PNF techniques, 'hold-relax' in addition to the traditional treatment. It can be considerable that both techniques applied in our study may have positive effects on pain, kinesiophobia and proprioception.

The main objective is to determine if ultrasound guided suprainguinal iliac fascia block leads in better clinical outcomes such as pain management or time to home discharge.

This is a multi-center, observational patient registry. The primary objective of the study is to collect safety and performance data on the IlluminOss Device when used to provide stabilization and alignment for the treatment of traumatic or impending and pathologic fractures.
