Active clinical trials for "Hip Fractures"

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Acetabular Shells when used with the Vivacit-E and Longevity HXLPE liners and instrumentation in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures to effectively relieve pain and restore function in patients with hip osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis of femoral head and hip fracture.The Lumbar Plexus Block (LPB) is currently used as the standard regional anesthesia technique to provide postoperative pain management after THA. The lumbar plexus (LP) originates from T12 to L5. In general, multiple-needle nerve blockade procedure is needed to block different branches of LP. Therefore, we need more time to finish the regional anethesia procedure and it's not easy for an inexperienced anesthesiologist to master the technique absolutely. In addition, multiple injections will increase the discomfort of the patients. We aim to investigate the effects of lumbar plexus combined with quadratus lumborum block using single-needle technique with Shamrock method as an alternative regional anesthesia.

Patients with dislocated hip fractures are randomised to cemented hemiarthroplasty with an anterolateral approach or a direct lateral approach.

A hip fracture is a large burden to the patient with increased mortality, pain and increased need for daily assistance. Trochanteric fractures of the femur (FTF) represents about 35% of the hip fractures. Today FTFs are mainly treated with internal fixation using sliding hips screws (SHS) or intramedullary nail (IMN), whilst hip arthroplasty (THA/HA) is rarely used. Despite advances in the design of the internal fixation implants there is a high failure rate, in particular in cases of FTFs classified as unstable fractures. Since the introduction of hip arthroplasty in femoral neck fractures there has been a reduction in complication rates, early mobilization and shorter hospital stays. The primary objective of this project is to investigate if treatment with hip arthroplasty in unstable FTFs will increase the postoperative mobility, give a better general health outcome for the patient, better quality of life and reduce re-operation rate for the patients compared to those operated with the traditional IMN.

This Post Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) study to evaluate the performance and safety of the cemented TrendHip® stem in a prospective follow-up study with patients who underwent a hip arthroplasty with the investigational product (representative of usual clinical practice), at two follow-up examinations

Elderly patients with hip fracture are older and have a high incidence of perioperative complications. the postoperative recovery of elderly patients with hip fracture is affected by hemodynamic instability and pain caused by fracture. S-ketamine is the S-isomer of ketamine. Compared with traditional ketamine, S-ketamine has stronger analgesic effect and fewer adverse reactions of nervous system. The parasympathetic effect of S-ketamine can antagonize the circulatory inhibition of propofol and make the hemodynamics more stable in elderly patients with hip fracture.Iliac fascial space block (fasciailiacacompartmentblock,FICB) mainly depends on local anesthetics spreading to the femoral nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and obturator nerve in the iliofascial space to achieve analgesia in its dominant area. Ultrasound-guided iliac fascial space block can effectively reduce the amount of anesthetics and has shorter puncture time and fewer complications. It can more effectively reduce the perioperative pain of elderly patients with hip fracture.

Type of study: prospective interventional the purposes of the research :To examine the effect of treatment using the SELFIT system on function, walking and balance in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. The study population: 50 participants aged 65+ who were admitted to the geriatric rehabilitation department after hip fractures, with 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: What is the effect of training with SELFIT system on the functional outcomes in patients after hip fractures hospitalized in the geriatric rehabilitation department. How the training with SELFIT system will effect on satisfaction of the patients in the geriatric rehabilitation department. During 21 days, both groups will receive physical therapy for about 45 minutes. The experimental group will be allocated about 15 minutes out of the 45 minutes to practice with the help of the SELFIT system.

The final goals of the present study is to propose a new approach in the hip fracture rehabilitation in elderly subjects, focused on the use of robotic device and to check the results not only at the end of the treatment but also in the long term, foreseeing 3 follow-up.

The altered hemodynamics, and therefore the arterial hypotension is the most prevalent adverse effect after subarachnoid anesthesia. The objective of the study was to determine the exact role of local anesthetic selection underlying spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in the elderly patient. We conducted a descriptive, interventional pilot study to assess the hemodynamic impact of subarachnoid anesthesia with isobaric levobupivacaine versus isobaric bupivacaine for hip fracture surgery.

The objective of the present study is to assess whether specific cognitive intervention will influence rehabilitation outcomes of post-acute hip fracture patients.
