Active clinical trials for "Fractures, Compression"

The purpose of this study is to assess the performance and safety of two balloon kyphoplasty systems (Joline®), the single balloon catheter Allevo and Quattroplasty double balloon catheter Stop'n Go, using BonOs® Inject bone cement for treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures.

The aim of this retrospective study is to show that kyphoplasty is a reliable technique in the treatment of certain traumatic vertebral fractures. Patients will be selected from medical records archived at the Neuroradiology Department of Dijon CHU. An information sheet and questionnaire will be sent to patients together with a letter to ask them to have a radiographic examination. The radiographic images will be interpreted by two independent experts to evaluate the angle pf vertebral kyphosis.

This project aims to develop and validate an automatic detection and classification system for vertebral compression fractures on computer tomography (CT) images using an artificial intelligence (AI) system (named Smart Bone) by Quanta.

Patients with vertebral fractures often have problems to straighten and as a consequence of impaired lung ventilation that leads to a impaired lung function. Furthermore, it comes to the sintering of the vertebra and a so-called hunchback. This also contributes to the poorer expansion of the lung. Pain is also caused by respiratory excursions of the chest which hinder the patients to use their entire lung volume. Kyphoplasty is designed to counter all these consequences of vertebral fractures by bringing stability to the fracture. In order to prove the thesis the results of lung function test (FEV1, PEF) are assessed.

The purpose of this study is to Assess bone marrow edema within the VCF by use of a DE CT virtual noncalcium image compared with MR imaging as standard reference. Evaluate parameters related to the BME of the collapsed vertebral body on DE CT virtual noncalcium images, such as the morphologic signs, visual qualitative detection, and quantitative values.
