Active clinical trials for "Femoral Fractures"

Statistical analysis for adult patients who were admitted to Assiut university hospital within one year with proximal femoral fractures. Protocol of management include lines of treatment , hospital stay and results

Retrospective cohort study comparing the early prognosis after surgically-treated proximal femur fragility fractures in patients affected and not affected by COVID-19.

A retrospective study to compare clinical results of patients that were treated by Bipolar H.A. vs. closed reduction and internal fixation with Trochanteric Antegrade Nail for displaced femoral subcapital fracture.

This study evaluates the clinical ease of use of the Femoral Antegrade Starting Tool (FAST).

This is an observational pilot study of supernormal oxygen delivery goal for patients with proximal femoral fracture.

In Taiwan, about 75.92% of the elderlies above 65 years old suffered from chronic diseases or major diseases, especially in circulatory system. Thus, dramatic hemodynamic change is often observed in surgeries in this population. Due to osteoporosis and high-prevalence morbidities, trauma with fracture is quite common. These elderlies are more vulnerable to have complications, poor prognosis and decompensated organ functions. The investigators would like to observe the perfusion of different tissue intra-operatively, and to find the correlation with surgical outcome. There are many non-invasive hemodynamic monitors nowadays. In our study, the investigators will use noninvasive cardiac output measurement(NICOM), and non-invasive transcutaneous near infrared spectroscopy(NIRS) to observe hemodynamic change and tissue perfusion. After the surgery, the duration in ICU will be recorded. A questionnaire, SF-36, will be mailed to the patients 2 months after the surgery to measure the psychometric status.

Proximal femoral fractures(PFFs) are common with advancing age. Proximal femoral nail (PFN) is now increasingly used to fix unstable fractures. Studies have demonstrated that muscle strength deficit is significantly large after PFFs. N. Ivanova et al found that hip muscle isometric strength for the fractured leg was significantly decreased 1 week and 6 months postoperatively. Besides, a recent study done by Nitin Wale et al concluded that abductor weakness and trendeleburg gait are fairly common in patients treated with PFN and this complaint is often overlooked. Despite significant improvement in muscle function after at least 6 months of physiotherapy as demonstrated by previous studies, we didn't come over a study explaining the main causes of remaining abductor lurch in patients with united fracture of the proximal femur treated using proximal femoral nail (short type).

The goal of this study is the evaluation of lower limb function and the quaility of life of the patients after femur fracture operation treatment. LLTQ (Lower-Limb Tasks Questionnaire), LEFS (Lower Extremity Funcional Scale), LLFI-10 (Lower Limb Functional Index - 10) and LLFI (Lower Limb Functional Index) will be used for all the patients.
