Sustained Acoustic Medicine (SAM) for Symptomatic Treatment of Pain Related to Bone Fracture
Bone FractureFresh FractureThe purpose of this study is to assess the ability of long-duration low-intensity therapeutic ultrasound (LITUS) to alleviate bone-fracture related pain over a 12-week period. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of LITUS in subjects suffering from bone-fracture pain. Secondary objectives are to assess the ability of LITUS to improve patients return to work time.
Improvement of Function After Hip Fracture in Geriatric Rehabilitation Unit Via Augmented Reality...
Hip FracturesType of study: prospective interventional the purposes of the research :To examine the effect of treatment using the SELFIT system on function, walking and balance in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. The study population: 50 participants aged 65+ who were admitted to the geriatric rehabilitation department after hip fractures, with 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: What is the effect of training with SELFIT system on the functional outcomes in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. How the training with SELFIT system will effect on satisfaction of the patients in the geriatric rehabilitation department. During 21 days, both groups will receive physical therapy for about 45 minutes. The experimental group will be allocated about 15 minutes out of the 45 minutes to practice with the help of the SELFIT system.
Outpatient Versus Inpatient Surgery for Ankle Fractures
Ankle FracturesOrthopedic Procedures2 moreThis study is a single center randomized controlled trail in which we compare outpatient and inpatient patients with an ankle fracture requiring surgical treatment.
Functional Orthosis Versus Cast Immobilization for Partially Unstable Weber B Ankle Fractures
Ankle FracturesStability dictates treatment choice for trans-syndesmotic fibula fractures. Optimal treatment for partially unstable fractures remains a topic of debate. The purpose of this study is to evaluate possible outcome non-inferior of functional orthosis treatment versus cast immobilization for these fractures.
Cast or Operation for Medial Epicondyle Fracture Treatment in Children
Fracture ElbowThis protocol describes a multicenter, prospective randomized superiority trial of medial epicondyle fracture treatments comparing functional outcomes between children treated with operative reduction and fixation or non-operative immobilization.
Distal Radius Interventions for Fracture Treatment
Fracture Distal RadiusThis protocol describes a multicenter, prospective randomized superiority trial comparing functional outcomes between children treated with sedated reduction versus no formal reduction.
Outcomes of Hemiarthroplasty Versus Cephalo-medullary Fixation to Treat Unstable Intertrochanteric...
Fracture of FemurComparing functional outcomes of hemiarthroplasty (prosthetic joint) versus cephalo-medullary fixation ( proximal femoral intramedullary nail) in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures (proximal femur fractures) in elderly people above 60 years old.
Investigating Bone Cement With or Without Inossia™ Cement Softener for Vertebral Compression Fractures...
Vertebral Compression FractureThe overall purpose of conducting this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of V-Flex and V-Steady for augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and to verify that adding a cement softener into a PMMA bone cement is comparable to a PMMA bone cement alone (V-Steady).
Fixation Insitu Versus Removal for Midfoot Lisfranc Injuries
Closed Fracture DislocationTarsometatarsal Joint2 moreThis study is a multicenter prospective randomized control trial comparing hardware retention (HR) to removal of hardware (RH).
Distal Targeter vs Free-hand
Femur FractureTibial Fractures4 moreThis study is a randomized controlled trial comparing the use of two different surgical techniques--free-hand versus distal targeting jig-based for distal interlock screw--placement and their effects on total operative time and intraoperative radiation exposure.
