Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

The purpose is to find out if incorporation of an intraoperative electro auricular acupuncture protocol when added to a standard multimodal analgesic regimen for patients undergoing surgery to repair lower leg fracture under spinal anesthesia will help reduce postoperative opioid use.

The investigators test the efficacy of closed reduction in displaced distal radial fractures in the emergency department.

Type 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.

The 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.

The 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).

This 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.

This protocol describes a multicenter, prospective randomized superiority trial comparing functional outcomes between children treated with sedated reduction versus no formal reduction.

Comparing 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.

This study is a multicenter prospective randomized control trial comparing hardware retention (HR) to removal of hardware (RH).

This study is being conducted with the aim of comparing the time to bone healing after surgery for fragility fractures of proximal femur between patients receiving strontium ranelate and placebo. Patients recruited are of 60 years of age and above. Bone healing will be assessed on clinical parameters when patient is able to ambulate full weight bearing without pain and on Xray images using RUSH score. Moreover Dexa scan will be performed pre-operatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The findings of this study will help in setting up guidelines for treatment of fragility proximal femur fractures in our population as there is still paucity of literature on effectiveness of strontium ranelate from our part of the world.
