Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

Randomized double blind Trial with the aim to estimate effectiveness of two therapeutic regimes per os on pain due to not compound bone fractures in child 4-17 years old: ketorolac 0,5 mg/kg (1 drop every 2 Kg) tramadol 2,5 mg/Kh (1 drop every 2 Kg) Intensity of pain will be estimated with linear 1 to 10 or analogic McGrath type scale every 20 min. The main objectives are the evaluation of pain decreasing in every group, the time of decreasing, the intensity of pain during procedures (ex. Xray) and the occurrence of side effects Secondary outcomes are comparison between the two groups on effectiveness on pain and on side effects

Reducing pain is an essential factor for early mobilization after osteosynthesis of femoral neck fractures. Systemic opioids have side effects that might obstruct mobilization and induce delirium and nausea. The investigators hypothesized that wound infiltration results in reduction in systemic opioid usage and pain relief without side effects.

Patients with osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures will be randomly assigned to treatment with balloon kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty. Over 2 years of follow-up, back pain, back function, quality of life, adverse events, subsequent fractures and cumulative healthcare costs will be compared.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic touch in treating wrist fractures in women past menopause.

An evidence-based quality improvement intervention will overcome multiple barriers to best practice and improve rates of diagnosis and effective treatment for osteoporosis in high-risk patients. The intervention will be directed at patients (education and counseling) and their primary care physicians (reminders and opinion leader generated and endorsed single page guidelines)

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of testosterone replacement therapy in frail elderly female hip fracture patients who have testosterone deficiency, and to obtain preliminary information about the effects of testosterone therapy on muscle strength and size, bone density, mobility, daily functioning, and quality of life.

This project is designed as a prospective, randomized, comparative study evaluating the use of a negative pressure vacuum device in treating soft tissue injuries and the surgical incision following open reduction and internal fixation of calcaneus, tibial plateau, and pilon fractures.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of tranexamic acid in hip fracture surgery on the reduction of allogeneic red blood cell transfusion.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of administering rhBMP-2/CPM as an adjuvant to internal fixation in subjects with fractures of the proximal femur.

The primary objective of this study is to assess whether fracture union is accelerated in subjects with humeral fractures (proximal,diaphyseal) treated with conservative therapy (standard of care) and a single dose of rhBMP-2/CPM compared to subjects who receive standard of care alone.
