Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Bone"

This study aimed to investigate the effect of denosumab on bone mineral density(BMD), bone turnover markers(BTMs), functional status, secondary fracture rate, and adverse effects in osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) patients after vertebroplasty during a 12-month follow-up period.

An assessment of the feasibility of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans in older people who have recovered from and older people who never had delirium after hip fracture surgery

A prospective, randomized study investigating the possible benefits of immediate mobilization and frequent physiotherapy following a wrist fracture treated by volar plating. The current study will test the following null hypothesis: There is no significant difference between patients who receive a cast for the first 2 weeks postoperatively and then instructions in home exercises and patients who receive a cast for 2-3 days postoperatively and then have frequent sessions with a physiotherapist following volar locked plating for a extraarticular distal radius fracture, as evaluated by self-reported satisfaction after 3 months.

The primary objective is to compare the mechanical failure risks in the first year after treatment.

The study objective is to collect and report 12-month outcomes pertaining to activities of daily living, quality of life, and safety parameters in a Medicare population to be treated with balloon kyphoplasty in the treatment of painful, acute, vertebral body compression fractures (VCFs) associated with either osteoporosis or cancer. The primary objective is to show statistically significant improvement from baseline in the four co-primary endpoints (SF-36v2, PCS, EQ-5D, NRS back pain and ODI) at 3-months; study success will be declared if the primary objective is met. New radiographic fractures, non-surgical management received, VCF-related healthcare resource utilization, and vertebral body height restoration data will also be collected.

The purpose of this protocol is to prove the efficacy of vertebroplasty in patients suffering from acute non osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. Vertebroplasty consists in the injection of cement (PMMA) in the damaged vertebral body to prevent further collapse. Our study will compare vertebroplasty versus conservative therapy (brace).

Researchers in the Orthopaedic surgery department at LSU Medical Center-Shreveport hope to learn if patterns of blood-flow around the incision site of patients undergoing surgery for heel-bone fractures can help predict whether complications will arise after a specific type of operation.The goals of this research study are to effectively answer as many of the following research questions as possible: Can a drug normally used to evaluate adequate blood flow in plastic surgery and tissue transfer be used to identify altered patterns of blood flow at the operative site of Calcaneus fractures, when compared to the uninjured extremity? Are changes in blood flow identifiable at the operative site post operatively? Are there certain patterns of blood flow present preoperatively or postoperatively that can predict wound complication? Can certain patterns of blood flow predict the location of slough or dehiscence after surgery? Does the incision site and its proximity to specific patterns of blood flow possibly predict wound complication? The hypothesis is that the study drug will show a correlation between certain patterns of blood flow and whatever post-operative complications may arise.

PRCT multicenter study to evaluate non-operative treatment protocols for treating ER-stress negative unimalleolar Weber-B type fibular fractures. Groups are: 1. 3 weeks in a removable splint 2. 3 weeks in a cast and 3. 6 weeks in a cast. Follow-up visits at 3, 6 and 12 weeks and after 1 and 2 years after injury. In each time X-rays laterally and mortise projections. Ankle functional outcome questionnaires: Olerud-Molander score, FAOS RAND-36 and VAS in follow up-visits 6 and 12 weeks and 1 and 2 year.

Avulsion fractures of the base (tuberosity) of fifth metatarsal bone are the most common fractures in the foot, frequently treated in fracture clinics and involving significant resources. At present methods of treatment and follow up vary widely from no active treatment to surgery, depending entirely on a treating doctor preference. There is no agreement on simple, safe and reliable method of treatment. The investigators believe that vast majority of these injuries heal well on its own without any specific treatment. By comparing two most commonly used treatments the investigators aim to establish one simple, safe and reliable mode of treatments. The investigators are going to evaluate functional results of these two treatments in a short and longer time prospective, by using the best available scientific tools. The investigators believe that results of the investigators study will eventually lead to change of practise and more efficient NHS care for these patients. It will reduce unnecessary treatments and clinic appointments, and bring substantial savings to the NHS in a long prospective.

This study is a case-control prospective, clinal trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the allogeneic adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on the healing of recent tibial fracture in 40 patients.
