Active clinical trials for "Hip Fractures"

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Insignia™ Hip Stem for global market access and post-market clinical follow-up up to 10 years postoperative.

The use of regional anaesthesia techniques as part of multimodal analgesia in hip surgeries improves postoperative analgesia. PENG (Pericapsular nerve group) block is an effective motor sparing analgesia technique used in hip surgeries. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of PENG block in terms of analgesic requirements and pain density in patients undergoing hip surgery, using two different concentrations of local anaesthetic.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether this new intramedullary fixation is effective in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture.

Assess if the addition of an early femoral nerve block (performed within 2 hours from the admission in emergency department through a femoral nerve catheter) in the elderly patients (> 70 years) with hip fracture, reduces the incidence of postoperative delirium assessed by CAM 3Ds test, compared to the traditional systemic pain therapy.

Hip fracture is a global public health problem. The postoperative mortality and disability rate of hip fracture is high, and early surgery is still the most effective treatment method, but these patients are often associated with concurrent heart and lung and other organ dysfunction, anesthesia and surgery are extremely risky, mainly associated with high incidence of complications in the pulmonary and cardiovascular system, and anesthesia plays a vital role in ensuring that these patients can safely and effectively get through the perioperative period. The research on the relationship between anesthetic methods and hip fracture surgery prognosis mainly focuses on comparison between neuraxial anesthesia (including spinal anesthesia and epidural anesthesia) and general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation until now. In addition to general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and neuraxial anesthesia, ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block has been widely used in hip fracture surgery in recent years, especially for some high-risk patients with cardiopulmonary dysfunction. However, it is not clear whether ultrasound-guided combined lumbar plexus and sacral plexus block with sedative anesthesia can improve the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture, and in this study, we plan to make a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the effects of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and ultrasound-guided combined lumbar plexus and sacral plexus block with sedative anesthesia on the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture to clarify the clinical value of combined lumbar plexus and sacral plexus block with sedative anesthesia in elderly patients with hip fracture.

This is a prospective randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase 2, three-month study of the efficacy of abaloparatide in postmenopausal women and men ≥ 50 years of age with acute fractures of the pelvis (n=78). The primary outcome is CT image based evidence of fracture healing. The secondary aims are pain and physical performance measures at 3 months. This study will be extended with 9 months of open label abaloparatide to determine if any potential differences between the placebo and abaloparatide groups during the 3 months of treatment are evident and persist over time, even in patients who use abaloparatide after the three-month placebo controlled intervention.

The aim of this work is to compare between the use of PENG block and femoral nerve block for perioperative pain management in patients with hip fracture.

Summary: Pain control after hip surgery is quite important for patients' recovery. Many regional techniques are available with the focus on motor sparing block to speed patient recovery. The investigators will compare pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in addition to local skin infiltration to PENG block alone. The study population will be included for patient traumatic hip surgery. The study population will be divided into group. First group will receive PENG block and local anaesthetics infiltration and second group will receive PENG block. Our primary outcome is to compare numeric rating scale (NRS) between studied groups, and morphine requirements in the first 24 hours as a secondary outcome.

Lateral compression-1 (LC1) pelvic ring fragility fractures cause significant pain and morbidity. These fragility injuries are associated with prolonged immobility and long hospital stays. Currently there is no consensus on operative stabilization of LC1 pelvic fractures, nor are there evidence-based guidelines to aid in management of these injury types. Furthermore, there is variability in operative indications, improvement in pain and mobilization. The purpose of this study is to compare percutaneous transiliac - transsacral screw fixation to non-operative management in symptomatic LC1 fragility fractures in elderly patients.

Pelvic fractures are common presentations to major trauma centers and are associated with significant morbidity in polytrauma patients. Traditional open reduction and internal fixation is associated with a high incidence of surgical morbidity, while external fixators, used for both temporary stabilisation and as definitive management, have a complication rate of up to 62% [4], with poor patient tolerance, pin site infection and aseptic loosening the more commonly documented complications in the literature. Minimally invasive techniques have become more popular recently in the management of pelvic injuries due to their lower incidence of surgical morbidity. The application of a pelvic internal fixator (INFIX) has been presented as a comparable alternative to external fixation of anterior pelvic ring injuries.
