Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

Unstable sacral/pelvic or acetabular fracture are severe high energy fractures Surgical intervention are necessary after patient's conditions are stable. The complexity of local anatomical structure, the nearby major vessels, organ and visceral structures make the operations difficult and in high risks.

Prospective, single arm, post-market evaluation to evaluate the use and performance of the IM Implant in a post market setting.

Fractures have been shown to account for 10-25% of injuries in children and the consequences of pediatric fractures are significant and result in significant restriction of activity. Despite this, the epidemiology of pediatric fractures remains poorly detailed. Investigators seek to establish the incidence of pediatric trauma and fractures and determine patient, trauma and injury characteristics.

The goals of this multi-site study are to evaluate the union rate, patient satisfaction, and functional results of the Section 510(K) approved Anser Clavicle Pin in a prospective 50 patient clinical trial in a U.S. population.

Aims: (1) to Establish the FLS services at the National Taiwan University Hospital Jinshan Branch. (2) To establish a anti-osteoporosis medication management service at Jinshan Branch. Method: From Aug., 2015, a fracture liaison services (FLSs) following the 13 'Capture the Fracture Best Practice Standards' were implemented at the National Taiwan University Hospital Jinshan Branch health care system. The Jinshan Branch program enrolled patient with 1) new hip fracture 2) newly identified vertebral fractures (radiological or clinical) from both inpatients and outpatients. At the same time, a osteoporosis medication management service is also establish as a complement of FLS to enroll patients on antiosteoporosis medications (AOMs) but not necessary with fracture. Participating physicians will select those eligible for services and refer to study coordinators. Study coordinators will conduct baseline assessments on osteoporosis/fracture risks, record medical conditions, AOMs, provide educations on osteoporosis, fracture, sarcopenia, fall, medications, nutrition, and exercise. They also arrange return clinic visit, telephone reminder and follow up for patients, and communicate with providers on regular bases. During the whole study period, the investigators planed to enroll 200 patients (with or without fracture). Each patient would be assessed at baseline, and every 4 months last for two years.

This research study is evaluating bone mineral density in childhood cancer survivors who have a history of bone fracture.

The objective of this study is to determine whether a new minimally invasive method for in vivo measurement of cortical bone tissue properties can identify those who are at risk for fragility fractures of the hip and radius. The investigators hypothesis is that women with fragility fractures of the hip and radius have altered cortical bone tissue properties compared to non-fracture controls independent of standard clinical tests, such as bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

This study supports Spanish data collection and analysis on Periprosthetic and Peri-implant fractures of the upper and lower limb. Treatment and clinical management of this fractures are complex and goes along with complications. There will be more than 70 hospitals providing information. This study will provide evidence on which is the best treatment for every unique patient. This will help trauma surgeons and geriatricians to provide better treatments, to improve health care in our society, reducing mortality, morbidity, improving functional outcomes, and reducing costs, which in turn will be advances in trauma care.

Prospective cohort study on patients with intertrochanteric fractures under direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) therapy undergoing early surgical fixation (within 24 hours). The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the reduction of the peri operative blood loss. The secondary aim is to assess the influence of early surgical fixation of intertrochanteric fractures in patients with DOAC therapy on the 30-day and 1-year mortality. Moreover, the prospective cohort group of patients will be compared with a retrospectively analyzed age-, gender- and fracture-type-matched control group of patients who underwent delayed surgical fixation from January 2014 to December 2018 (≥ 48 hours).

This study will address medical devices manufactured by Biomet Microfixation (d.b.a. Zimmer Biomet) designed for fixation and stabilization of the facial and mandibular skeleton.
