Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

The study evaluates, in 3 emergency departments (ED) and on randomized alternate periods, the use of SmartUrgences®, Augmented Intelligence (AI) software to help the interpretation of bone standard X-rays prescibed by the ED.

A prospective cohort study comparing PENG block versus iliac fascia block with the aim of evaluating its effectiveness in the peri-surgical analgesia of intracapsular femoral fracture.

This was a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled study. Patients with pelvic fractures (Tile B and c) were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an Red Society Hospital and Xi'an 521 hospital, the patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the Order of admission: Experimental Group (intraoperative navigation combined with channel screw technique) and Control Group (open reduction and plate internal fixation) , the difference of operative effect between the two groups was compared by fracture reduction, channel screw position, operative time, fluoroscopy frequency, hospitalization time, hospitalization cost, recovery time and Mayo Score. Use Access 2003 to build a database and store data; use SPSS 21.0. 0 Software for statistical analysis. The entire process required the development of a standardized staff manual, and all were subject to rigorous training and examination in order to participate in the pilot, and the investigation process was supervised by the project leader.

The treatment of lower limb fracture accounting one third of total fracture is a complex problem for the surgical and rehabilitation team. Patients are kept in long term fasting after surgery to prevent from postoperative complications, but it leads to the surgical catabolism resulting delaying the desired improvement in patients. To our knowledge, it has not been widely implemented in clinical settings. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of early versus delayed postoperative oral feeding in lower limb fracture surgery under regional block anesthesia. This study utilize single-center, hospital based, open-label, parallel group randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of early postoperative oral feeding in two hours after the surgery over the conventionally delayed feeding. A representative sample size of 275 patients (control group=138 and study group =137) aged 18 years and above having lower limb fracture operated under regional block will be selected for research. The pre-operative nutritional status will be identified with Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ) and the post-operative outcomes will be measured by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) system. Preoperative as well as postoperative hand grip strength and Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) will be assessed. Statistical analysis will be performed using chi square test, Student two sample t-test to compare between the outcome of study and control groups. The outcome of the study may provide an empirical evidence to the anesthesiologists and surgeons towards the emerging concept of postoperative early oral feeding practice in lower limb fracture surgery in clinical settings.

The immobilization process after an operation or injury in the upper extremity causes a loss of muscle mass and strength of 0.2% and 1.3% per day, respectively. Currently, the use of cross-education, which is unilateral training in the uninjured limb, during the immobilization period, is expanding, demonstrating a magnitude of strength gain in the immobilized limb from 8% to 77% of the mean of strength of the trained limb. Despite the evidenced benefits of cross-education in unilateral injuries such as distal radius fracture, anterior cruciate ligament injury, and knee replacement, very little is known about this effect in shoulder immobilization after clavicle fracture.

Radial paralysis is a well-known complication of plate osteosynthesis on the humeral shaft. At the University Hospital Basel, these fractures have been treated in an adapted procedure with long PHILOS plates using a modified technique and approach. This study is to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness of the surgical technique in relation to iatrogenic radial paralysis.

This study compares two operative managements of midshaft clavicle fractures: intramedullary screw and plate fixation. In the past ten years, many studies have compared non operative management versus operative fixation and in particular plate fixation which has been well evaluated. But to date, there are only few retrospective studies that compares plate and intramedullary screw fixation and the knowledge about this last technique and its functional results is poor. The main objective of this study is to compare plate and intramedullary screw fixation, in term of functional results and rate of union. The hypothesis of this study is that there is superiority of plate over intramedullary screw fixation. The main evaluation criterion is the Constant Score at 3 months postoperatively.

Background: Epiphysis of distal end of tibia fracture is quite common in children epiphysis injury, because of the complex damage mechanism and often leads to growth retardation and joint deformity, the patient's physical and mental damage larger; also epiphysis injury restoration requires higher standard and more difficult to fixed, and methods are being actively explored to improve the curative effect and prevent the sequelae. Our hospital pediatric department of orthopedics expects to conduct prospective study through multi center to study the influence of factors such as the tibia epiphysis fracture of distal injury's mechanism and initial and residual displacement and treatment etc. on patients' prognosis of late growth disorders, joint deformity and ankle function. Methods and analysis: To join the multi center research collaboration group of the south pediatric department of orthopedics (including Pediatric Department of orthopedics of Wuhan Union Hospital, Wuhan Tongji Hospital, Hunan Children's Hospital, Wuhan women and children's Hospital, Foshan Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, Shenzhen children's Hospital, Guangzhou city women and children's Medical Center), the formation of multi center research network, writing program, including the inclusion and exclusion criteria, grouping and follow-up time, method. Participating in the working group meeting, listening to the expert's opinions to improve research programs, formulate the tracking table of distal tibial epiphyseal fracture, and starting to implement after approved by the medical ethics committee of each hospital. The hospital is responsible for supervision in the whole process of project implementation, and building the real-time reporting system, and it is the responsible person of pediatric department of orthopedics of Foshan Hospital of TCM to do the random inspection. After the completion of data collection, data entry and statistical analysis conducted by the pediatric department of orthopedics in Foshan Hospital of TCM. Ethics and promotion: The research is approved by the hospital medical ethics committee of the south pediatric orthopedics multi center cooperative research group. Single blind method is performed for children in the course of the study. Research data is shared by all participating units and joints promotion of research results. Registration: To register and update the study on the United States NIH ClinicalTrials.gov website.

HealthEast Care System began the first community-based joint replacement registry (HJRR) in the U.S. in 1991, and now has more than 30,000 total joints registered. The purpose of the HJRR is to maintain and improve the care of individuals undergoing joint replacement surgery by providing timely information to their surgeons and the broader orthopaedic community. As it moves into the third decade, the HJRR is proud of its role in the development of the national American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) and will remain an important contributor to the larger national effort in the advancement of orthopaedic science.

The standard post-operative radiographic protocol for the monitoring of fractures at Health Sciences Centre includes post-operative in hospital radiographs as well as radiographs at the two week follow up appointment. This is in addition to good quality intra-operative radiographs. With current operative techniques and implants, orthopaedic surgeons can achieve reliably stable internal fixation. In fact, patients are often allowed to take weight through the fractured limb immediately post-operatively. In these cases, redundant post-operative radiographs likely represent an avoidable cost to the system financially, and an avoidable cost to the patient in additional time spent in hospital and unnecessary radiation exposure.
