Active clinical trials for "Shoulder Dislocation"

Anterior dislocation of the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) is one of the most prevalent dislocations. Following a first dislocation recurrence rates of up to 80% have been reported. Many patients will seek medical assistance for reduction of the shoulder after each of these recurrent dislocations. The investigators describe the results of reduction of anterior glenohumeral dislocation using a modified self manipulated Milch technique that can be performed by the patients themselves after simple guidance and demonstration. This method is directed to patients who are not willing or cannot have surgical stabilization and may be in a place where medical assistance is not available.

Retrospective comparative case-cohort study to investigate the efficacy of the modified arthroscopic Bristow-Latarjet surgery and to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes using screw fixation vs suture-button fixation.

Surgery is a common treatment type for damaged joints, tendons and nerves in the upper limb where conservative measures are inappropriate or have failed. These conditions are common and result in significant levels of pain and functional disability. The investigators are conducting a broad ranging study of variation in the provision of surgical treatment and factors affecting outcomes after surgical treatment of upper limb conditions. This will be a population-based study of all patients undergoing surgical treatment funded by the National Health Service (NHS) of England over a nineteen-year period. This study will help to understand the factors associated with a poor outcome following surgery, which can be shared with patients considering treatment options. The investigators will also document current and future health service burden associated with commonly performed surgical procedures including complications and repeat operations.

The primary objective of this research is to examine the result of rotator cuff repairs following acute shoulder dislocations and to investigate whether timing of surgery following acute shoulder dislocations affects patients perception of pain, function, and strength following surgery.

This study is a randomized controlled trial using Duke patients to test, compared to the standard of care, a questionnaire and statistical model used to determine how patient preference regarding shoulder pain, physical limitations, physical therapy, recovery period, prognosis, and cost impact choice of surgical versus non-surgical intervention. Phase 1 of this study is the initial testing of the instrument and involves a small group of up to 10 individuals who will partake in one-on-one interviews while completing the Shoulder Injury Survey to provide feedback. In Phase 2 of this study, 200 subjects will be randomized to receive either the Decision Tool or the standard Information on Shoulder Dislocation

This is study to compare the time to diagnosis of glenohumeral joint dislocation using two imaging methods, traditional x-ray and point-of-care ultrasound. Participants who present at the emergency department complaining of shoulder injury and who are suspected of having a possible glenohumeral shoulder dislocation will be eligible for the study. A reduction of the joint will be performed if imaging findings so indicate. All participants will receive a post-reduction x-ray and be referred to appropriate follow-up care.

There exists continued controversy over the use of propofol in Emergency Department procedural sedation, this is despite its widespread existence in clinical practice for at least a decade. These concerns are not limited to the ED setting and are primarily related to the pharmacological properties of the drug itself and its potential for harm. The bolus administration of propofol, aimed at a target of sedation, offers several advantages over more traditional agents, yet these advantages are also its limitations. The use of a target-controlled infusion may provide the sedationist with greater control over the pharmacokinetics of propofol and thus reduce the rate of adverse incidents. This feasibility study aims to use a pragmatic design to test the safety and efficacy of propofol TCI whilst assessing the practicalities of it's use in the ED. If it proves to be feasible then the researchers plan to proceed to a multi centre pilot study to gather information to adequately power a larger randomised multi centre trial.

The purpose of the study is to see if there is a connection between a proximal humerus fracture dislocation direction and the likelihood of developing avascular necrosis. Utilizing a retrospective cohort from the last ten years we hope to bring consenting patients back for a single visit to have x-rays and complete patient reported outcome measures to assess for evidence of avascular necrosis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of this rare injury with special emphasis on associated pathologies. Additionally, we aimed to develop an algorithm for the diagnosis of associated pathologies following LEH.

In this paper we describe and evaluate the results of the Noergaard technique through a retrospective analysis of patients admitted and treated for anterior shoulder dislocation at the ED of Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre, Denmark, in a 1-year period.
