Application of Indocyanine Green Angiography for Closed Operative Calcaneus Fractures

FracturesComminuted2 more

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.

Comparative Study of Fixation or Fusion of Calcaneal Fractures

FracturesComminuted2 more

A multicentre randomized controlled trial that will be conducted at Level 1 trauma centres across Canada. It will compare patients who receive open reduction, internal fixation for Sanders IV calcaneal fractures to patients who receive primary subtalar fusion for the same type of fracture. Patients will be followed up for a period of two years from the time of operation with evaluations being performed at 5 time points: 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.

Comminuted Intra-Articular Distal Tibia Fracture Fixation Using Computer Techniques

Tibial Fractures

Comminuted intra-articular distal tibia fractures (OTA 43-C) typically are the result of high-energy trauma such as motor vehicle collisions or fall from a height. They are complex injuries often associated with significant fragment displacement and severe soft tissue injury, a combination that has long challenged orthopedic surgeons. Traditionally, surgeons use plain film (X-ray) and CT scans (2 or 3 dimensional) to determine fracture pattern and displacement. Yet, in some cases, it is still difficult to identify the relationship among bone fragments, which often makes articular restoration challenging. As a result, patients with non-anatomic joint reconstructions have a higher rate of poor outcomes. The primary objective of this study will be to compare patient outcomes in two groups, one group who will receive enhanced pre-operative planning (3D printed plastic prototype + standard of care [SOC] imaging with 3D CT scan + plain film radiographs) and a second group who will receive pre-operative planning using SOC imaging alone (3D CT scan + plain film radiographs only). Patient outcomes collected throughout the 12 month post-operative period will include an assessment of radiographic fracture healing (union, non-union, malunion), pain using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Olerud and Molander Score based on patient's self-report, and development of complications (infection, wound healing, re-operation, and re-hospitalizations). The secondary objective of this study will be to evaluate whether utilizing an enhanced pre-operative plan with a 3D printed plastic prototype altered the original pre-operative plan based on SOC imaging alone (3D CT scan + plain film radiographs only).
