Active clinical trials for "Rupture"

The objective of this randomised cohort study was to evaluate the knee rotational stability after the single-bundle ACL reconstruction (SB) with addition of the ALL reconstruction and to compare it with the double-bundle ACL reconstruction technique (DB) and to analyse when the ALL is necessary to reconstruct.

The purpose of this study is to determine the functional outcome of repairing the pronator quadratus (PQ) muscle in subjects operated for a distal radius fracture (DRF) with volar locked plating.

The purpose of this study is to compare the neonatal outcome and infant neurologic outcome whose mother were treated with cefazolin plus clarithromycin for one week or until delivery after preterm premature rupture of membrane.

The intention is to compare 60 patients with Achilles tendon rupture, who where randomized in 1998-2001 preoperatively to receive end-to-end suturation by the Krackow locking loop technique either without augmentation or with one central down-turned gastrocnemius fascia flap (Silfverskjöld). Postoperative care was identical for both groups; A brace allowed free active plantar flexion of the ankle postoperatively, whereas dorsiflexion was restricted to neutral for the first three weeks. Weight bearing was limited for six weeks. To compare these treatments, we use 1998 published Leppilahti-score, Rand-36 quality of life-questionnaire and MRI. Mean follow-up time is 14 years. Hypothesis; Augmentation with a down-turned gastrocnemius fascia flap does not provide better result than would end-to-end suture repair with use of the Krackow locking loop surgical technique in long-term follow up.

Ankle fracture is frequent and its number is increasing. In Canada, surgical treatment of these lesions is advised and the options currently used all have in common a rigid fixation of the syndesmosis which results in residual stiffness and a high level of secondary surgery, mostly to remove the implant. The purpose of the study is to compare the treatment of ankle syndesmotic rupture by a dynamic fixation to a static fixation suggesting that the dynamic fixation method will improve the Olerud-Molander functional score of more than 15 points at the 3 months follow-up.

Lumbar zygapophyseal joint cysts can cause lower extremity radiculopathy. These cysts can be cured by a minimally invasive technique: percutaneous cyst distention and rupture

Sub arachnoid hemorrhage consecutive to intracranial aneurysm rupture is a devastating disease. Predictors of intracranial aneurysm rupture are limited and focus mainly on size and location. Platelet activation may have a deleterious role on aneurysm rupture. The assumption is that patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm will present a higher rate of platelet activation compared to patients with non ruptured aneurysms.

A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of Reverse Conversion (Open to Laparoscopic) in management of Acute Perforated Appendicitis

The acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic requires a redefinition of healthcare system to increase the number of available intensive care units for COVID-19 patients. This leads to the postponing of elective surgeries including the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The probabilistic rupture risk index (PRRI) recently showed its advantage over the diameter criterion in AAA rupture risk assessment. Its major improvement is in increased specificity and yet has the same sensitivity as the maximal diameter criterion. The objective of this study was to test the clinical applicability of the PRRI diagnostic method in a quasi-prospective observational patient cohort study.

Thirty-two participants with ACL rupture were included in the study. All participants were divided in two groups - control and experimental. In the experimental group (n=16) participants received 4 weeks standardized physiotherapy and Kinesio tape, in the control group - standardized physiotherapy. Experimental measurements: Anthropometric measurements, pain intensity, static and dynamic balance, proprioception, knee flexion and extension muscle torque, level of activity
