Active clinical trials for "Tibial Fractures"

The investigators are comparing two methods of standard treatments in distal tibial fractures. locked plating (M.I.P.O. technique) with intramedullary nailing. the investigators are hypothesizing that M.I.P.O group is superior to nailing in fractures of the distal third of the tibia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the blood supply to patients that are suffering from fracture in the tibia by UltraSound Doppler.

Tibial eminence fracture, a bony avulsion of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) from its insertion on the intercondylar eminence,1 was first described by Poncet in 1875. 2 Also known as tibial spine fractures, these injuries occur most commonly in skeletally immature patients between the ages of 8 and 14 years

this study will perform to compare the results and functional outcomes of tibial plateau fractures treated with non-locking and locking plate fixation.

Study aims to compare two treatment modalities for treatment of transverse fractures of tibia. One is Intramedullary interlocking nail and the other is dynamic compression plate.

The objective of this observational prospective study is to systematically document the clinical outcomes of Zimmer MotionLoc Screws for Periarticular Locking Plate System applied to distal tibia fracture treatment and confirm safety and performance of the screws.

The objectives of this study are to investigate infection rates and management for open and closed tibia fracture subjects in India treated with internal fixation. These objectives will be carried out by answering the following questions: What is the infection rate within one year of surgery for open and closed tibia fracture subjects in India treated with internal fixation? What is the distribution of infection per type of infection, stratified by time (early, delayed, late) and location (superficial or deep) in open and closed tibia fracture subjects in India treated with internal fixation? Secondary objectives How are infections managed in open and closed tibia fracture subjects in India treated with internal fixation? What is the treatment outcome for open and closed tibia fracture subjects in India treated with internal fixation? What is the influence of the following clinic and subject factors on the occurrence of infection within one year for open and closed tibia fracture subjects in India treated with internal fixation? Hospital standard hygienic and antibiotic protocol for infection prevention Subject demographics Time between injury and surgery and between admission and surgery Fracture type (AO Müller classification) Soft tissue damage (according to the Tscherne classification for closed fractures or Gustilo classification for open fractures) Fracture management and implant type Surgical details such as duration of surgery Is there a difference in health-related quality of life as measured by the EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) between subjects with and without infections? Is there a difference in the number of complications not related to infection (adverse events and serious adverse events) between subjects with and without infections?

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of reamed intramedullary nails in tibial shaft fractures (as a standard treatment), in raising intracompartmental pressures and therefore determine if they are a risk factor for compartmental syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if immediate mobilization with weight bearing as tolerated following surgery with plates and screws after a fracture of the shinbone near the knee is possible without increased risk. The investigators hypothesize immediate weight bearing as tolerated following surgery with plates and screws of the above mentioned fracture, in cases deemed stable by the surgeon, will not lead to any loss of reduction.

Purpose: To explore effects of S-ketamine on postoperative pain and cognitive dysfunction after tibial fracture and orthopedic surgery. To evaluate and examine the incidence of adverse effects with the purpose of selecting the optimum dose.
