Active clinical trials for "Hip Fractures"

The effect of Tranexamic acid on blood loss, hemoglobin and transfusions in patients with pertrochanteric hip fractures. Tranexamic acid is a well known drug used in many types of surgery. The investigators wish to investigate if the use of tranexamic acid can reduce the peri- and post-operative blood loss in patients who undergo surgery with a short intramedullary nail, for a pertrochanteric hip fracture. An interim analysis was planned when reaching 60 inclusions. The interim analysis was conducted only on the primary outcome (TBL). A difference in TBL of no less than 500 ml was considered a reason to halt the study. The 0.001 level was chosen as a simple approach to this interim analysis from the Haybittle-Peto boundary

The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for the commercially available G7 BiSpherical Acetabular Shell.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the drug teriparatide to the effect of placebo on pelvic fracture healing.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate an improvement in physical functional recovery, following administration of Drug for 24 weeks, in patients who have recently experienced a hip fracture. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of Drug. This is an early phase trial and some specific protocol information is proprietary and not publicly available at this time. (Full information is available to trial participants).

This is a retrospective and prospective, multi-center, non-comparative, post market clinical follow-up study involving orthopedic surgeons skilled in THA and experienced implanting the devices included in this study.

This study evaluates the effect of anesthesia on mortality after surgical repair of proximal femur fracture. Patients will receive either a subarachnoid block or a combination of peripheral nerve blocks and light general anesthesia (PNB/GA). The investigators hypothesis is that a combination of peripheral nerve blocks with an opioid free light anesthesia may have more favourable outcomes. Both groups will be followed up for assessment of post-operative morbidity and mortality.

Statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) have largely proven their efficacy in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Many clinical and experimental studies support also a potential beneficial effect of statin therapy on venous thromboembolism (VTE). Patients with hip fracture are at high risk of VTE and cardiovascular events. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of a statin (rosuvastatin) in hip fracture surgery on the occurrence of venous and atherothrombotic events and the global mortality at six months. Subjects aged 60 years or over who are scheduled to undergo surgery for fracture of the upper portion of the femur (hip fracture) are eligible to participate to this multicentre, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled trial. They will receive either rosuvastatin (5 or 20 mg) or placebo for 6 months. The primary efficacy outcome is the incidence of an adjudicated composite of non fatal VTE, acute coronary syndrome, non fatal stroke, other acute ischemic arterial event, or all-cause death. Assuming a endpoint frequency of 20% in the control group, we calculated that 1200 patients will be required for the study to have 80% power to detect a 30% reduction in the relative risk with rosuvastatin (with a two-sided alpha level of 5%). The investigators assumed that rosuvastatin could have a positive benefit-risk ratio in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery for hip fracture, by reducing vascular events and global mortality at six months.

Fractures of the upper end of the femur, called commonly "Hip fractures" are very common, with an incidence of approximately 1.6 million cases per year worldwide. This high incidence is anticipated to grow rapidly in the next decades, driven by population aging. Anemia is very frequent on admission for hip fracture, concerning up to 45% of the patients, with a mean hemoglobin level of 12.5±0.2 g/dl. This high prevalence of anemia together with blood losses, secondary to the fracture itself and surgery are responsible for a high rate of blood transfusion (approximately 40-50% of the patients). However, both anemia and blood transfusion are associated with poor outcome, including increased mortality, length of stay, infection rate etc. In addition, blood is a scarce and expensive resource and its use should be limited as much as possible. There is therefore a need to treat this anemia and/or to prevent the decrease in hemoglobin. For this purpose, intravenous iron has been proposed. Some non-randomized, mainly retrospective, studies have shown that perioperative intravenous iron was able to reduce blood transfusion (i.e. the number of patients transfused and the number of units per patient). Another way to reduce blood transfusion would be to reduce perioperative bleeding. Tranexamic acid has proven to be efficient for this purpose both in trauma patients and in elective surgery patients.The interest for perioperative blood management has recently increased thanks to better recognition of the adverse effects of blood transfusion, better understanding of iron metabolism, new intravenous iron drugs and a renewed interest in former medications (i.e. tranexamic acid). HiFIT study therefore propose a 2X2 factorial design for this study in order to answer questions vis-à-vis the interest of iron and tranexamic acid to reduce blood transfusion in hip fracture patients.

The study is designed as a prospective, non-interventional multicentre cohort study. The product under Investigation will be used in Routine clinical practice and according to the authorized Instructions for Use (IfU). Aim of this observational study is to collect clinical and radiological results of the CoreHip® endoprosthesis system in a Standard Patient Population and when used in Routine clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to compare OR3O™ Dual Mobility System to a conventional, single-bearing design Total Hip System in subjects who undergo Primary THA. Data collected in this study will be used to support National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) regulatory approval of OR3O™ Dual Mobility System in China as well as to support and maintain product registration in global markets. Primary Objective: Assess safety and efficacy of the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System in Primary THA at 1 year postoperative. Secondary Objective(s): Assess safety and efficacy of the OR3O™ Dual Mobility System and compatible components in Primary THA up to 2 years after surgery. Other Objective(s): Assess the hip dislocation and hospital readmission up to 2 years after device implantation. 4 study sites in China.
