Active clinical trials for "Intra-Articular Fractures"

The objectives of the study are to confirm safety and performance of the Zimmer Nexel Total Elbow when used in primary or revision total elbow replacement.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 3D-printed bone models in addition to CT imaging versus CT imaging alone on surgical quality and operation time for patients undergoing surgical repair of intra-articular fractures.

This study is a multi-centre, prospective, clinical observational study to evaluate the CE-marked HBS 2 Resorb Mg screws under routine conditions. The device will be used according to its intended use. The data collected for this study does only include measurements which are standard of care.

Intra-articular fractures of the mandibular condyle ((IAFC) are usually treated by means of physical therapy with or without transient maxillo-mandibular fixation (conservative or closed treatment). However, this can lead to incomplete manducatory function recovery due to limited mandibular mobility. During the last 15 years, a growing interest has emerged for open (surgical) treatment of these fractures. Although there is more and more evidence suggesting that the open treatment may be the treatment of choice for selected cases of subcondylar fractures, the best option remains controversial for high condylar fractures. The primary objective of the trial is to compare mandibular mobility at 3 months post-treatment between open (surgical) and closed (conservative) treatment of intra-articular fracture (high fracture) of the mandibular condyle. This study is an open multicenter randomized controlled trial with 2 parallel arms. Eligible patients will be randomized 1 :1 between open and closed-treatment group.

This is a randomized control trial comparing the outcome of ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) with EHA (elbow hemiarthroplasty) for distal humeral fractures in patients aged 50 years or above.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of early, percutaneous, intra-articular saline lavage on the undiluted synovial fluid microenvironment during the acute phase following intra-articular fracture of the human ankle. We hypothesize that early intervention with percutaneous joint lavage in the first 0-48 hours after injury will attenuate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, MMP's and cartilage breakdown products compared to non-lavaged control subjects at the time of surgical fixation.

Prospective, randomized, single-blind, multinational, long-term study for the evaluation of the clinical outcome, oxidation profile and wear analysis of medium cross-linked Polyethylene with and without Vitamin E for total knee arthroplasty

The goal of the proposed study is to define the optimal rehabilitation for trauma patients with Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures, either Permissive Weight Bearing (PWB) or Restricted Weight Bearing (RWB) regarding functional outcomes, health related quality of life, radiographical differences, cost-effectiveness and complications.

The purpose of the study is to investigate a relationship between the inflammatory response following intraarticular fracture and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. The investigators plan to evaluate the inflammatory cytokine profile in knee joint synovial fluid and blood serum in patients who sustain an intraarticular tibial plateau fracture and ankle joint synovial fluid and blood serum in patients who sustain an intraarticular tibial plafond fracture. This information will be combined with radiographs and patient outcome measures to determine a correlation between intraarticular inflammatory response and post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if perioperative glucocorticoid administration (IV intra-operative followed by a post-operative oral taper course) improves post-operative range of motion in a patient population that has sustained an intra-articular elbow fracture(s) (radial head, proximal ulna, distal humerus, or combined) that required operative fixation.
