Active clinical trials for "Rupture"

The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of a new biomechanical device and treatment methodology (AposTherapy) on gait patterns, pain, function and quality of life of patients with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. Based on previous reports the investigators hypothesis that this therapy will have a positive effect on these measurements.

The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of implanting the Tavor ACL prosthesis in patients with a ruptured ACL by improvement of healing kinetics as well as major adverse treatment events (AEs). it is designed to test the hypothesis that there is a difference in healing kinetics of ACL deficient knees treated by ACL reconstruction using autografts and those in which such procedure was performed with the Tavor prosthesis.

Ankle fracture is very common which is often combined with deltoid ligament injury. Although the incidence of deltoid ligament injury is high, but there is no unified and effective diagnosis method. Even whether the ankle fracture with deltoid ligament rupture needs surgical repair is still controversial. There is no high-level, multi-center, large sample, long-term follow-up clinical evidence to prove whether the repair of deltoid ligament is necessary or not. The main content of the project: 1 Achieve accurate classification of deltoid ligament rupture with intraoperative exploration. 2 Study the surgical indications and treatment guidelines by comparative study.

Autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) will be extracted using Celution 800/CRS System (Cytori Therapeutics Inc) from a portion of the fat harvested from the patient's front abdominal wall. Patients will undergo knee arthroscopic surgery followed by one-time intraarticular ADRC administration (directly into anterior cruciate ligament). This is a single arm study with no control. All patients receive cell therapy.

Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of optimizing hydration during labor in nulliparous women with respect to reducing the duration of dilation and the second stage of labor, lowering the incidence of Cesarean sections and fever, and also with respect to changes in sodium and osmolarity in blood and urine, and 24 hour diuresis. Background. In the international scientific community there is a lack of consensus regarding the most suitable hydration strategies to be used in the attention of nulliparous women during low risk birth. Insufficient hydration during labor is associated with increased maternal and neonatal morbidity. Design. A randomized, controlled clinical trial with allocation concealment and masking during the evaluation of the results. Methods. A study of nulliparous women whose births and newborn are attended in the Obstetric Service of a University Hospital. The women will be randomized to two groups: the "optimal hydration" group, that will be guaranteed 300 ml/h (intravenous crystalloids and water) with a minimum diuresis of 400 ml/24h; and the "variability in hydration" group, comprised of the administration of intravenous and clear liquid volumes, without any established perfusion rate, based on criteria established by the healthcare professional attending the birth, and without established minimum diuresis. Mother outcomes: duration of labor, Cesarean section, fever, dehydration. Newborn outcomes: distress, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, jaundice, weight loss in 48h, breastfeeding difficulties. Analysis will be per-protocol. Statistical significance will be set at p<0.05 Discussion. The findings obtained in this study will provide new evidence for considering the benefits of providing women with suitable optimized hydration during labor. Diminishing the clinical practice variability related to hydration strategies applied to nulliparous women attended during labor through the use of a decision-making algorithm to administer optimal hydration, would imply improved health and safety for mothers and their newborn together with reduced maternal and neonatal morbidity. Funding granted in 2015 by the Spanish Health Research Fund (PI 15/00897, Ministry of Health). Keywords: hydration; dehydration; adverse events; labor; Cesarean section, fever.

The aim of the study is to show a reduction of a re-rupture rate with an ACL (antero crusader ligament) + ALL (anterolateral ligament) combined technique compared to a classical Kenneth-Jones ACL (antero crusader ligament) reconstruction technique.

A prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of labor induction with a double balloon catheter (Atad Ripener Device) in women desiring TOLAC (trial of labor after cesarean) with PROM (pre labor rupture of membranes).

The aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a RCT whose topic would be the effect of a motor imagery program on the postural control in persons who have undergone ACL plasty.

This will be a prospective randomized control trial with a blocking method to determine the effect of an occupational therapy focused pre-operative education on 3 pre-determined diagnosis: Carpometacarpal (CMC) Arthroplasty, Distal radius fracture requiring open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and tendon repairs of the hand. Possible participants will be recruited through Cape Fear Orthopedics & Sports Medicine and receiving care from an orthopedic surgeon & hand specialist. Researchers hypothesize that those who receive the occupational therapy consult will demonstrate improved adherence with occupational therapy appointments, improved patient perceived function, and overall improved experiences with the pre-operative patient experience.

This study is a prospective randomized controlled clinical study. After the Achilles tendon rupture repaired , patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, and the rehabilitation protocol was traditional rehabilitation protocol and accelerated rehabilitation protocol under ultrasonic monitoring , respectively, to study the difference in efficacy between the groups.
