Active clinical trials for "Femoral Fractures"

Minimally invasive PFNA fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fracture will be used in 20 patients within 2 years to objectively validate the safety and effectiveness of PFNA in the treatment of fracture of long tube-like bone.

This study documents real life weight bearing in patients treated with a TFNA, who are allowed for immediate weight bearing as tolerated.

Numerous geometric and bone mineral density (BMD) parameters can be derived from quantitative computed tomography (QCT) images of the proximal femur analyzed using dedicated software. The primary objective is to evaluate the contribution of QCT-image analysis to the prediction of the osteoporotic hip fracture risk, as compared to the reference standard, namely, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Study hypothesis: For predicting osteoporotic hip fracture, findings from QCT images of the proximal femur analyzed using dedicated software are superior over DXA measurements of proximal femoral BMD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use and efficacy of the Encore Linear™ Hip System in a group of 200 patients for whom data has already been collected.

This study is to determine the natural history of compartment pressures in the anterior thigh secondary to a fracture of the femoral shaft.

The study is a multi-center, prospective, non-controlled, consecutive cohort post market surveillance study. The objective of this study is to obtain survival and clinical outcome data on the Hyperion® system in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.

Neck of femur (NOF) fracture is a common presentation to the emergency department, particularly in our older population. NOF fracture is associated with a high social and economic cost with significant effects on patients' quality of life. Analgesia and ambulation are important determinants of outcome following NOF surgery. We propose to compare whether PENG or Femoral Nerve Block is associated with a greater degree of quadriceps motor dysfunction.

Few studies have reported the efficacy of adding dexmedetomidine to bupivacain for fascia illiaca compartment black. Comparison of dexmedetomidine and bupivacaine with bupivacaine alone on the quality of ultrasonography guided fascia iliaca compartment block in adults undergoing femur fracture fixation surgery at 2014.

Fixation of fractured neck of femur is a common Orthopedic surgery. Anaesthesia can be challenging in some cases like in haemodynamical unstable patients. The investigators have evidence of minimum effective local anaesthetic dose (MLAD) in hip replacement surgery but MLAD to achieve surgical anaesthesia for operative fixation of FNF is still unknown. A step-up/step-down methodology was used successfully in regional anaesthesia and also in other areas of anaesthesia. In pregnant ladies in whom spinal anaesthesia is performed on the side, significant correlation exist between the vertebral length measured from cervical 7 to the iliac creast and MLAD. The investigators aim it was to determine the MLAD of hyperbaric 0.5% bupivacaine required for Continuous spinal anaesthesia for the operative fixation of FNF.

This study evaluates the continuous femoral block between levobupivacaine 0.125% and ropivacaine 0.2% in patients with proximal femoral fracture.These patients will be divided into 2 groups of 35 patients, one L group (levobupivacaine 0.125%) and one R group (ropivacaine 0.2%) distributed randomly, receiving continuous infusion through patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump with the following parameters: infusion 5 ml / h, bolus 5 ml, lockout 30 min.
