Active clinical trials for "Hip Fractures"

The specific aim of the study will be to investigate the incidences and risk factors for postoperative delirium (POD) after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years in five different Southeast and East Asian countries. The secondary objectives are outlined below: To investigate factors in the hospital environments, such as noise levels, ambient lighting, nursing ratios, ward bedding and climate control, that contribute to similarities and/or differences in POD occurrences in different countries and health systems To investigate patient factors, such as disease burden, mental health, education levels, and socioeconomic factors, that contribute to similarities and/or differences in POD occurrences in different countries and health systems To quantify the direct and indirect costs, as well as resource utilization, resulting from the development of POD in each country

Background and study aims The ability to move is important for general well-being. Ageing and chronic health conditions can lead to a loss of mobility and a loss of independence. In order to treat mobility loss, tools are needed that can detect and accurately measure mobility. Existing measures of mobility (based on self-reporting and one-off tests) are highly limited. Wearable digital technology (a small device worn on the body) that can be used in the home and the community can provide a simple, accurate and low-cost measure of mobility. The researchers have validated a wearable mobility monitor which can accurately measure how well a person walks by measuring aspects of mobility such as speed and symmetry. The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of the mobility monitor to measure and predict outcomes in proximal femoral fracture (PFF) patients. The digital assessment of mobility developed in this study will be used in clinical trials and in clinical practice.

The goal of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of a blind fascia iliaca compartment block to an ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block in patients that present to the emergency department with hip fractures.

Goal directed fluid therapy is a new standard surgical procedure which is successful in patients undergoing hip revision arthroplasty, There has been a reduction of postoperative complications, most importantly surgery with a decrease inbleeding, as well as in hospital and intensive care stays it is related. The aim of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of pulmonary ultrasound score and vena cava collapse index measurements in the patients undergoing hip surgery under spinal anesthesia and relation with peroperative fluid management.

Hip fractures are common in elderly patients, and require surgery. Many elderly patients take anticoagulants for vasculopathy treatment. Anticoagulation precludes the use of neuraxial anesthesia because of the risk of epidural bleeding. Caudal anesthesia may be a safe and effective technique in anticoagulated emergency surgical patients. Quantitative analysis of prospective clinical data. Evaluation of caudal anesthesia efficacy for hip fracture surgery. Analysis of perioperative outcome, and postoperative course.

In this study, our is to compare effect of lumbosacral plexus and sacral plexus + suprainguinal fascia iliaca plane block on perioperative pain via analgesia nociceptive index monitor on high-risk patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

This study aims to evaluate the sensory processing processes of elderly adults who have undergone fall-related hip fracture surgery in the last 6 months, according to different patterns, and to examine the relationship between physical performance, fall risk, fear of falling, and depression parameters that may be related to sensory processing.

Multi-center, comparative, non-significant risk adaptive study with retrospective controls. After providing informed consent and being screened for eligibility, intervention subjects will be prescribed and provided an appropriately sized Tango Belt. The subject must demonstrate a minimum of 64% adherence to the use of the Tango Belt within 14 days of initiation to fully enroll in the study. Upon demonstration of at least minimum adherence, the subject will be provided the Tango Belt to wear continuously for at least 6 months, except during bathing, device charging, and as deemed by clinical staff. The study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of the Tango Belt with the primary and secondary endpoints being taken every 3 months and at the end of the study run time from the electronic medical record. Additionally, ancillary endpoints on adverse events and device performance will be gathered.

This study attempts to the translation and the cultural adaptation of the Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) questionnaire in the Greek population in patients suffering from hip fracture.

This is a multicenter, prospective, Post-market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Study on the ZNN Bactiguard Cephalomedullary Nails. The objective of this study is to collect data confirming the safety, performance, and clinical benefit of the study device and instrumentation when used for the temporary internal fixation and stabilization of trochanteric, sub-trochanteric or shaft femoral fractures and osteotomies. This is a CE-marked device already available on the market and the aim of the study is to comply with the post-market surveillance requirements.
