Improvement of Function After Hip Fracture in Geriatric Rehabilitation Unit Via Augmented Reality...
Hip FracturesType of study: prospective interventional the purposes of the research :To examine the effect of treatment using the SELFIT system on function, walking and balance in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. The study population: 50 participants aged 65+ who were admitted to the geriatric rehabilitation department after hip fractures, with 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: What is the effect of training with SELFIT system on the functional outcomes in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. How the training with SELFIT system will effect on satisfaction of the patients in the geriatric rehabilitation department. During 21 days, both groups will receive physical therapy for about 45 minutes. The experimental group will be allocated about 15 minutes out of the 45 minutes to practice with the help of the SELFIT system.
Sustained Acoustic Medicine (SAM) for Symptomatic Treatment of Pain Related to Bone Fracture
Bone FractureFresh FractureThe purpose of this study is to assess the ability of long-duration low-intensity therapeutic ultrasound (LITUS) to alleviate bone-fracture related pain over a 12-week period. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of LITUS in subjects suffering from bone-fracture pain. Secondary objectives are to assess the ability of LITUS to improve patients return to work time.
Investigating Bone Cement With or Without Inossia™ Cement Softener for Vertebral Compression Fractures...
Vertebral Compression FractureThe overall purpose of conducting this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of V-Flex and V-Steady for augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and to verify that adding a cement softener into a PMMA bone cement is comparable to a PMMA bone cement alone (V-Steady).

Role of Strontium Ranelate in Proximal Femur Fragility Fractures.
Fragility FractureFemur; Fracture2 moreThis study is being conducted with the aim of comparing the time to bone healing after surgery for fragility fractures of proximal femur between patients receiving strontium ranelate and placebo. Patients recruited are of 60 years of age and above. Bone healing will be assessed on clinical parameters when patient is able to ambulate full weight bearing without pain and on Xray images using RUSH score. Moreover Dexa scan will be performed pre-operatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The findings of this study will help in setting up guidelines for treatment of fragility proximal femur fractures in our population as there is still paucity of literature on effectiveness of strontium ranelate from our part of the world.
