Bipolar H.A Versus Trochanteric Antegrade Nail for Treatment of Displaced Subcapital Femoral Fractures...
Displaced Subcapital Femoral FractureA 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.
Perioperative Complications in Reversed Shoulder Arthroplasties
Proximal Humeral FractureRetrospective observational study of reversed shoulder arthroplasties by proximal humeral fracture. Analysis of preoperative risk factors as well as minor and major complications at the first week, 90 days and 1 year.
Full Versus Partial Repairing of Soft Tissue Surrounding the Hip in Arthroplasty for Femoral Neck...
Femoral Neck FractureA prospective cohort study to compare full repairing and partial repairing of soft tissue surrounding the hip joint in anteriorolateral approaching arthroplasty concerning hip function. Patients admitted with a femoral neck fracture operated with a hip arthroplasty through an anteriorolateral approach were screened for inclusion. Patients with altered mental status SPMSQ <7, pathological fractures, non-walkers were excluded.
Mandibular Angle Fracture and Interframents Gap
Mandibular FracturesTwenty-five patients with mandibular angle fracture were subjected to reduction and fixation through intra-oral open reduction and semi-rigid min plate fixation near the superior border of the mandible at Champy's osteosynthesis line. The linear inter-fragmentary gap was measured at the inferior border of the mandible after fixation of the fractured bony segments in the final aligned position immediately postoperative on a panoramic radiograph for the mesio-distal plane and a cone beam computed tomography for the bucco-lingual plane to assess any lingual splay. The healing process was clinically followed for 3 months postoperatively for any complications and/or patient complains
Anterior Plate Osteosynthesis of Fractures of the Lower Extremity of the Radius: Does the Systematic...
Fracture; RadiusLower or Distal EndAnterior plate osteosynthesis of fractures of the lower extremity of the radius may be accompanied by tendinous complications : tenosynovitis of extensors or even tendon ruptures caused by the end of the epiphyseai screws. The intraoperative measurements as well as the realization of the scopic pictures make it possible to estimate the length of the screws but the tendinous lesions remain frequent (5 to 15% according to the various series)
Prospective Study of Diagnostic Accuracy of Spectral CT for the Detection of Bone Marrow Edema
FracturesBone1 moreDual-Energy/Multi-Energy/Spectral-CT can visualize bone marrow edema associated with fractures, however, current scientific evidence is mostly derived from to retrospective analyses. Our prospective study systematically analyzes the diagnostic accuracy of the visualization of bone marrow edema by including patients who are scheduled for a CT scan to exclude or further characterize a fracture. After giving informed consent, the CT scan will be performed using a dose-neutral Dual-Energy-/Multi-Energy-/Spectral-CT acquisition technique. If the patient undergoes MRI of the same region within 7 days, this scan will be used as a gold-standard for bone marrow edema. This will allow the quantification of diagnostic accuracy.
Characteristics and Outcomes of Odontoid Fragility Fractures in Elderly
Odontoid FractureOsteoporosis1 moreUsually, cervical spine fractures are not considered as osteoporotic fractures. However, recent studies show that odontoid fractures are the most common fractures of the cervical spine in elderly and may occur in a context of low trauma energy. Thus, the goal of this observationnal study is : to describe the different type of odontoid fracture and to characterize bone status in elderly patient (>65 y) who underwent odontoid fracture in a context of low trauma energy. To describe short and long term outcomes
"Bio-logical" Carbon Fiber Intramedullary Nail Biomechanical Test and Preliminary Clinical Results...
FracturesBoneThe aim of this study is to present a novel Intramedullary Nail (IMN) made of CFR - PEED composite, that is biomechanically tailored to closely match cortical bone. This IMN should promote fracture healing and prevent stress shielding osteopenia. Case records of patients with humurus shaft fracture will be retrospectively reviewed to determine whether the implant promotes bone healing.
Value of Sonographic Diagnosis of Toddler's Fracture of the Tibia
Pediatric FracturesThis fracture of the distal tibia occurs in 1 to 4 year-old-children. Timely diagnosis is important, because it obviates the need for investigations to archive adequate treatment as well as to prevent unnecessary immobilization. The value of sonographic diagnosis of toddler's fracture has been demonstrated. The aim of the present study is to investigate the reliability and accuracy of sonography in the diagnostic workup of the toddler's fracture.
Diagnosis of Occult Hip Fractures With Ultrasound
Hip FracturesOccult Fracturesoccult hip fractures present to the emergency room with a history of trauma,a painful hip and normal X-ray. these patients usually undergo other imaging modalities such as CT scans, MRI, or bone scans. In this study we check the sensitivity and specificity of a directed ultrasound examination of the hip joint in diagnosing or excluding a hip fracture. We also compare the results of ultrasound examination by the orthopedic surgeon in the emergency room versus the consultant radiologist. The patients undergo bone scans or CT to make the diagnosis.
