Active clinical trials for "Hip Fractures"

This study compares general to regional anesthesia concerning morbidity and mortality in patients older than or equal to 65 years old who receive clopidogrel and are to be submitted in hip fracture surgery. Half of participants will receive general anesthesia the first 48 hours and the other half will receive regional anesthesia after 5 days of the discontinuation of clopidogrel.

HIP50 is a national, multicentre, prospective, observational study, in patients presenting a first low energy per trochanteric hip fracture on one side and treated with Y-STRUT® device implanted on the contralateral proximal femur as percutaneous internal fixation to prevent contralateral hip fracture in case of osteoporosis. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the studied medical device by measuring the frequency of patient with a fracture at the implantation site within 1 year after implantation. A total of 50 patients from France will be enrolled (until December 2020) and followed up to 24 months.

This study is going to research the hypothesis that to strengthen the comprehensive treatment of perioperative anesthesia is possible to improve the prognosis of patients with hip fracture and reduce mortality. This is a randomized controlled pilot study aimed to elderly patients with hip fracture on one side and needing surgical treatment.

Prospective, low-level, non-commercial intervention, comparative clinical trial (phase IV) of balanced, randomized groups, to compare the analgesic efficacy of the local anesthetics Ropivacaine and Levobupivacaine in peripheral nerve block in hip fracture surgery in the elderly .

The main aim of this study is to determine if the ActiveHip tele-rehabilitation mobile application improves the functional level and the quality of life of patients who undergone hip surgery after a fracture. The second aim is to determine if the ActiveHip intervention reduce the anxiety, stress and burden of the caregivers.

The primary purpose of this study is to test if the STARK comprehensive autonomy health care package improves lower extremity function over time at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months after hip or pelvis fracture compared to the standard of care.

Most surviving hip-fracture patients experience reduced mobility and lose their functional ability, which increases the risk of complications and rehospitalization. Post-discharge transitional programs to reduce readmissions have shown some success. Telerehabilitation refers to the use of technologies to provide rehabilitation services to people in their homes. Considering the need for long-term follow-up care for people with hip fracture, in-home telerehabilitation could increase independence, decrease hospital stays and reduce the burden for caregivers. The purpose of the pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the research methods evaluating telerehabilitation with adults who have experienced hip fracture, in preparation for a larger randomized controlled study. A one-group (N=6) pre-test/post-test design is currently being constructed. Results of the pilot study will be used to determine what adaptations to the design may be required to ensure successful implementation. Recruitment, retention and attendance rates, as well as percentages completing the outcome measures, will be examined to plan the time frame of the main trial. The intervention will include 10 videoconferencing sessions from an occupational therapist in the presence of the primary caregiver. Each session will be utilized to guide the participants to achieve their self-identified goals, focusing on problem-solving for daily life situations and on the ability to implement the discussed strategies for a variety of activities.

Purpose: Hip fracture is a common disease on elderly. They become disabled easily if no adequate rehabilitation was given. The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of different types of post acute rehabilitation care for hip fracture.

The steady increase in the incidence of geriatric hip fracture places an increasing burden on health care service in Hong Kong. Post fracture limitations are prominent and restrain many of the elderly from returning to community, rehabilitation is therefore important for reducing their long-term disability. By integrating the results from pilot application of video guided training and tele-physiotherapy program in different phases of rehabilitation, a Mobile Application (app) is developed aiming to improve hip fracture patients' and their carers' experience throughout the healthcare journey and empower them to manage their own health. A steering group comprised of physiotherapists, informatics and university research expert is formed to co-design the app, compose education content and formulate the promulgation and evaluation strategies. Meetings are also held with all involved clinicians to refine the app before implementation. This app provides features for hip fracture rehabilitation including "Understanding Hip Fracture", "Hip Fracture Care", "Training" and "Companion". Patients and their carers can obtain hip fracture care related information through the app anywhere, anytime, instead of coming to the clinics in person or reading the information on pamphlets. Physiotherapists can use the app to set training program for discharged patients with "Push Reminder" function and training record can be saved in "Progress Summary", which facilitates them and carers to get a grip on the patients' rehabilitation progress. Clinical study is therefore planned to be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the app from different perspectives, including the users' acceptance and satisfaction, patients' program compliance and functional recovery.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether this two intramedullary fixations are effectively in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture.
