Assessment of Arthroscopy in Patients Undergoing Wrist Fracture

Wrist Injuries

The use of arthroscopy with the surgery of wrist fractures has a great health and economic impact (prolongs the time of surgery, requires adequately trained personnel, increases the time and surgical expenses and the risk of complications, however, in return ameliorate the prognosis and improves the functional recovery). There are few clinical trials showing a sufficient level of evidence in comparing the results of the surgical treatment of these fractures with volar plate and added arthroscopy so it is necessary to perform a clinical trial with an appropriate design and a sufficient sample size to elucidate the usefulness of arthroscopy in wrist fractures. Therefore, the investigators want to perform an open and controlled clinical trial to adequately analyze the role of arthroscopy in the surgical treatment of wrist fractures in the investigators hospitals. The main objective of the study is to probe the arthroscopy effectiveness in the functionality of the injured wrist by PRWE (a questionnaire assessing pain and wrist function) between the treatment groups of the trial at 12 months after surgery and for this the investigators plan a phase IV multicenter clinical trial.

The Canadian Prospective Pragmatic Perilunate Outcomes Trial

Wrist InjuriesCarpal Bone Fracture2 more

This is a unique three-fold prospective and retrospective study. With this approach, all previous and current PLIs presented at participating study sites will have the potential to be included in the study. Our goal is to collect all relevant injury and surgical parameters of the Perilunate spectrum. The investigators plan to identify each hospital within Canada that normally treats PLIs and to record injury and demographic information on each PLI that occurs in this country over a two to three-year period. Our protocol includes scheduled two, five, and 10-year follow-up intervals.

Improving Wrist Injury Pathways (I-WIP) Study

Scaphoid FractureWrist Injuries

Wrist injuries represent a considerable problem for both patients and the NHS. Around 70,000 patients per year in the UK attend hospitals with serious wrist pain after an injury, only to find that their x-ray is considered to be 'normal'. The National Institute of Care and Health Excellence (NICE) advises that these patients should be given MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans early on, within 2 weeks. Early MRI gives patients the best care, by picking up the serious injuries requiring early treatment and by helping reassure those without serious injuries to get back to activities quickly. This saves the NHS staff time and money by reducing unnecessary clinic attendances. Although these benefits from early use of MRI scans, and the NICE guidance, are clear, it is know from our recent national (UK) survey that only 11 of the 87 UK hospitals that we surveyed used MRI scans for these patients. The gap between what the best evidence suggests and what happens in clinical practice is a complex issue that requires further investigation. To develop a complex intervention to address this problem,a better understanding of the reasons why hospital services are currently unable to adopt the NICE guidance is needed. Clinical interventions in surgery exist on a spectrum from simple, such as closing a wound with stitches, to the complicated (carrying out a joint replacement for a neck of femur fracture) to complex (improving trauma theatre efficiency). The latter, more complex variety, are characterised by the 1) number of components in the intervention, 2) the range of behaviours targeted 3) the range and different levels of target recipients, 4) the expertise and skills required by those delivering and receiving the intervention 5) and or by the level of flexibility permitted in the intervention delivery. In 2000, the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) established guidance for developing and evaluating complex interventions to improve the delivery of health care services. An important stage in developing complex interventions and improving care is to fully understand current pathways and the context of care. This qualitative study aims to develop a better understanding of wrist injury pathways, and their context, in the NHS. We aim to (1) understand the barriers to early MRI for painful wrists and (2) understand what is important to patients when being treated with a wrist injury.

Effects of Low Level Laser Therapy On Exercise Induced Muscle Damage in Wrist Flexors Of Untrained...

Wrist Injuries

The main aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of Low-level Laser Therapy on exercise-induced muscle damage of wrist flexors in untrained young adults. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Sargodha Medical College, University of Sargodha. The sample size calculated is 16. The participants will be divided into two equal group; 1) Interventional group (Low level laser therapy), 2) Control group (conventional) each having 8 participants. The study duration will be six months after approval from Research board. Blocked randomization sampling technique will be used. The subjects will be randomly assigned to any of the interventional or control group. Interventional group will further be allocated to prophylactic or therapeutic group. Only Un-trained young Adults, Aged 19-25 (under-graduate/college and university students) without gender discrimination will be included in the study. Tools used in the study will be TALAG Scale (Soreness assessment), Goniometer (ROM), Algometer (Pressure¬-pain Threshold), Electronic digital hand Dynamometer (Grip Strength) and PRS (Perceived Recovery Status Scale). Data will be collected at baseline, 1hr, 24hr, 72hr, 96hr, 120hr, 148hr, 168hr and 192 hrs after the induction protocol.
