TENS for Relief of Postoperative Pain in Orthopedic Patients

Orthopedic DisorderPost Operative Pain2 more

To ensure early mobilization, minimize suffering, and to prevent postoperative complications postoperative pain, should be reduced as soon and as effectively as possible. A non-pharmacological post-operative intervention in terms of the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), could have the potential to accelerate early mobilization and reduce the use of opioids. The overall aim is to demonstrate that the addition of TENS to standard postoperative pain management of orthopedic patients can alleviate pain during mobilization and at rest

Effect of Early Administration of TXA in Adult Hip Fractures

Postoperative Blood Loss

This is a prospective clinical study designed to assess blood loss in intracapsular and extracapsular hip fractures undergoing operative fixation at a Level II trauma center. It is well established in the orthopedic literature that tranexamic acid (TXA) decreases blood loss and need for postoperative blood transfusion in hip fracture patients as well as total joint arthroplasty patients. A typical dosing pattern, and the dosing pattern employed at our institution, is 1 gram IV infused prior to incision followed by 1 gram IV infused at the time of wound closure.

Nocturnal Hypoxia in Geriatric Patients After Hip Fracture

DeliriumHypoxia

Delirium is a common complication following hip fracture surgery (HFS) in older people. Postoperative hypoxia has also been associated with delirium, but not specifically in geriatric patients. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that post-operative hypoxia is associated with in-hospital complications in patients with HFS.

Evaluation of TXA Prior to Surgery in the Geriatric Hip Fracture Population

Hip Fractures

The overall design of the study is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized study in the geriatric hip fracture population comparing those who receive intravenous tranexamic acid prior to incision to those who receive a placebo.

Pre-operative Alcohol Skin Solutions in Fractured Extremities

Surgical Site InfectionUnplanned Fracture-Related Reoperation3 more

The prevention of infection is an important goal influencing peri-operative care of extremity fracture patients. Standard practice in the operative management of extremity fractures includes sterile technique and pre-operative skin preparation with an antiseptic solution. The available solutions kill bacteria and decrease the quantity of native skin flora, thereby decreasing surgical site infection (SSI). While there is extensive guidance on specific procedures for prophylactic antibiotic use and standards for sterile technique, the evidence regarding the choice of antiseptic skin preparation solution is very limited for extremity fracture surgery.

Uncemented Compared to Cemented Femoral Stems in Total Hip Arthroplasty

Hip Fractures

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether an uncemented hip prosthesis is as safe as an cemented hip prosthesis for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty surgery following a displaced femoral neck fracture.

Hip Fracture Prevention Follow-up of Elderly Women in Primary Health Care

Fragility Fracture

Researchers plan a 2022 follow-up of medical records data to investigate fracture incidence and survival for 1248 women, born 1902-1931, in a comparative fracture prevention study with 435 participants from an intervention area and 813 participants from two control areas. In 2022 researchers want to assess patient records data in intervention and control areas and compare A) Survival B) Risk factors for osteoporotic fractures (wrist, upper arm, vertebral, pelvic, hip) C) physical activity, exercise and drugs that affect fracture risk.

Caregivers' eCourse for Recovery After Hip Fracture

Hip FracturesFamily

This project will test feasibility to deliver an online education and skill development program for family/caregivers of older adults recovering from a surgically repaired low-trauma hip fracture. We will also recruit health providers to review and provide feedback on the eCourse before we test its feasibility and acceptability with caregivers.

Clinical Study of the Effects of a SWalker II and VR for Hip Fracture Rehabilitation in the Elderly...

Hip FracturesGait Disorders in Old Age

This project is structured in two distinct phases. The first phase deals with the recovery of the hip fracture in the acute phase up to ambulation, and the second is understood as the continuation of functional improvement of gait. In the first phase, the aim is to evaluate the effects of the use of the robotic device (SWalker) on the physical improvement of the patient. While in the second phase, the objective is to evaluate the effects of virtual reality technology combined with the use of the SWalker.Therefore, the following specific objectives are identified: Phase I: To analyze the effects of SWalker application in patients with acute hip fracture on clinical parameters of rehabilitation. Phase II: To study the effects of the application of the SWalker combined with immersive technology in people with impaired gait function after hip fracture.
