Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Closed"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a sugar-tong splint is as effective as a long-arm cast in maintaining reduction of pediatric forearm shaft fractures in a randomized, prospective manner. Consented participants will be randomly assigned to be treated with either a sugar-tong splint or a long-arm cast (both standard of care treatments) in REDCap. Each participant will have a 50/50 chance of being assign to either treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine if US-guided supraclavicular anesthetic blocks reduce postoperative pain, use of rescue medication, and improve functional outcomes in children who underwent surgery for supracondylar humerus fractures.

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence rate of infection in surgical patients with closed fractures treated prophylactically with Cefazolin versus Vancomycin in the peri-operative period. The hypothesis of this study is that patients undergoing surgical treatment for closed fractures who are treated prophylactically with Vancomycin will have a lower incidence rate of infection than patients who are treated prophylactically with Cefazolin.

This study aims to 1) observe the course of pain, 2) utilization of opioid pain medication, and 3) possible effect of a behavioral intervention delivered via an automated mobile phone messaging robot in patients undergoing surgical treatment of a traumatic orthopaedic injury.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if it is possible to decrease opioid consumption in patients undergoing ankle fracture surgery by providing scheduled doses of nonsteroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled study with two groups of patients: one getting NSAIDs to take at regularly scheduled times plus a traditional prescription for opioid medication and one receiving the traditional prescription for opioid medication and a placebo. Patients will be assigned to a group from a computer-generated program. Neither the patients nor their doctors or nurses will know what group they are in, only the pharmacist will have that information. Patients in both groups will have the opportunity to take opioid medications if the pain becomes unmanageable.

The purpose of the study is to examine the efficacy and accuracy of Ultrasound in evaluating occult fractures. We want to examine it on children that suffer from suspected fractures of the foot and ankle and the results of the x-ray are either negative or inconclusive.

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the use of tranexamic acid to placebo in patients admitted to hospital with a hip fracture.

Treatment of lateral fractures of the clavicle is challenging and has been controversially discussed for a long time due to high non-union rates in non-operative treatment and high complication rates in surgical treatment. A recently developed implant was proven to ensure a biomechanically sufficient fixation of fractures leading to bony union and promising functional outcome in a small collective of patients.

The purpose of this study is to measure the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound exam of the hip in diagnosing occult hip fractures.

The purpose of this study is to find out if the cells in bone graft samples collected using a reamer are similar to the cells in bone graft samples collected using the iliac crest bone graft method.
