Active clinical trials for "Femoral Neck Fractures"

This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical study in elderly Chinese subjects to compare the safety and efficacy of the SS Bipolar Head and SL-TWIN Stem with Bipolar Head and SL-PLUS Stem in hemiarthroplasty of the hip

The intention is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-factorial medical treatment of patients with hip fractures in a specially designed unit for elderly hip fracture patients (orthogeriatric unit) as compared to traditional care in an orthopedic unit.

This is a prospective, monocentric, randomized study, comparing the effectiveness and tolerance of four different dosages of hypobaric ropivacaine for unilateral spinal anaesthesia during traumatic femoral neck surgery in the elderly.

The purpose of this study is to see whether teriparatide, given for 6 months versus placebo, will improve the healing of hip (femoral neck) fractures that are repaired during surgery using certain types of orthopedic screws. The study will enroll men and postmenopausal women at least 50 years of age with a recent hip (femoral neck) fracture caused by low-trauma (for example, fall from standing height or less).

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Gamma3 intramedullary nails versus sliding hip screws on health-related quality of life as measured by the EuroQuol-5D at 52 weeks in individuals with trochanteric fractures. Secondary outcomes include revision surgery rates, fracture healing rates, fracture related adverse events, and health-related quality of life, including the Parker mobility score and Harris Hip Score.

Analgesic drug study that will compare pain outcomes of opioid analgesia and opioid-free analgesia in post-operative orthopedic patients.

Assessment of subsidence of cementless stem following arthroplasty for fracture neck of femur.

The aim of the study is to compare patient comfort and analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided femoral nerve block using the following endpoints: circumferential spread, anterior or posterior local anaesthetic deposition prior to positioning for spinal anaesthesia for operative fixation of fractured neck of femur.

Patients younger than 70 years with a displaced femoral neck are in serious conditions. The femoral neck fracture is associated with low activity levels, hip pain and substantially reduced quality of life. Relatively young individuals with low-energy fractures tend to have additional morbidity or lower bone quality. The literature indicates that 5 % of all displaced femoral neck fractures are in patients aged 55 - 70 years. Little research and lack of consensus and guidance about appropriate treatment of these patients renders choice of treatment, and the health economic aspect a great challenge. In this study the investigators aim to answer if patients aged 55 - 70 years with displaced and low-energy femoral neck fractures treated with a total hip arthroplasty leads to a better functional outcome than osteosynthesis, and can patient-related factors be identified that predispose for femoral fracture? It is a randomized multi center study of patients operated with either total hip arthroplasty or osteosynthesis in which functional outcome, complications and reoperations are compared for the 2 groups. Additional controls are done after 4 and 12 months; 2 and possibly after 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. Map patient - related factors that predispose for displaced femoral neck fractures for patients aged 55 - 70 years. Map bone density measured with Dexa for two types of surgical procedures. Map complications and functional outcome after osteosynthesis or total hip replacement in patients aged 55 - 70 years with displaced femoral neck fractures.
