Active clinical trials for "Hip Fractures"

To compare the impact of ASAP protocol (geriatric advice, early surgery, loco-regional anesthesia and pharmacological adaptation) on elderly patients with hip fracture and clinical outcome.

The Outcome of Multi-Disciplinary, Structured Rehabilitation of Older People in a District Inpatient Rehabilitation Centre is better than in a Standard Primary Health Care Rehabilitation Programme in Short Term Beds in Nursing Homes.

The purpose of this study is determine the relationship between pain and protrusion of the implant after surgery for a intertrochanteric fracture.

The aims of the studies are to examine the impact of delayed time to surgery for hip-fracture patients with regard to in-hospital complication rate and one-year mortality and to evaluate two different fast-track systems for hip-fracture patients with regard to patient outcome, complication rate and patient satisfaction.

The aims of this study is to study the occurrence of the troponin elevations, ECG changes, and cardiac symptoms in unselected consecutive patients with hip fracture. Followup will be carried out up to one year period.

Risk factors for postoperative delirium in hip fracture patients.

The purpose of this study is to measure the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound exam of the hip in diagnosing occult hip fractures.

Pelvic ring fractures are common and often the result of high energy trauma but also sometimes of lower energy trauma in older patients. A good classification and description of the fracture is essential to the choice of treatment. The classifications used to describe these fractures are numerous (Tile modified AO, Young and Burgess, Letournel, Rommens) and of a descriptive order more or less depending on the lesion mechanism allowing some to orient the surgical reduction technique. However, none of them helps with the choice of surgical or functional treatment, which is currently based on obvious notions of instability and / or displacement of lesions and, by habit, all different services. In addition, the complexity of these classifications leads to poor reproducibility of these. A new method for analyzing unitary lesions has been developed in the Orthopedic Surgery department of the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group with a rating system which determines the indication according to the score. Teaching this new method of analyzing pelvic ring fractures would simplify decision making between surgical and functional treatment.

The aim of this project is to build an international community of centers of excellence in the care for Fragile Hip Fracture Rapid Recovery patients. These centers of excellence will benchmark and share their expertise and experiences based on clinical and managerial data. In project is designed in five different phase: Phase 1: literature review: identifying relevant key interventions and indicators Phase 2: expert panel: expert panel for teams, management and policy makers Phase 3: data collection: collection managerial data through retrospective patient record analysis on clinical indicators Phase 4: statistical data analysis: data input, validation and statistical analysis Phase 5: feedback and knowledge sharing: feedback report with anonymous benchmarking and knowledge sharing of the results.

Fragility fracture is easily associated with a clinical worsening of patients in terms of quality of life and disability in the medium and long term. Following this traumatic event, more than half of the patients are unable to recover pre-fracture motor skills such as the ability to walk. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this type of patient has not been described and it is easy to hypothesize that, given their intrinsic frailty condition, they may have been significantly affected by changes in care pathways.
