Bone Fractures Clinical Trials

Treatment of fractures and dislocations are generally organized in the hospital setting. However, equal care for patients with non-complex fractures or dislocations may be provided in general practices. While substitution of trauma care from the secondary to the primary care setting is stimulated by the government and insurers, it is ...

While highly effective both RYGB and SG may lead to increased bone resorption, decreased bone mass, and increased risk of some fractures. Very few studies have compared the effects of the RYGB and the SG on changes skeletal health and findings have been inconsistent. Furthermore, few studies have investigated the ...

Osteoporotic hip fracture is a great harm among elderly people, for whom disability and death often occurs. Furthermore, sustaining an osteoporotic hip fracture increases the risk of a subsequent fracture. However, the risk factors of subsequent hip fractures are less studied and the proximal femur bone structure and muscle changes ...

Long-bone fractures are a very common complain for visits in paediatric emergency departments. Since these fractures are often very painful, morphine is considered the cornerstone treatment in case of severe pain. Very few data are available concerning the assessment of analgesic treatment in this condition. In our previous study, less ...

HealthEast Care System began the first community-based joint replacement registry (HJRR) in the U.S. in 1991, with a database that allowed tracking of implant use and failure rates among the 90 orthopaedic surgeons performing arthroplasty surgery in the greater metropolitan area of St. Paul, MN. Initially conceived as part of ...

All subjects will be pre-screened by the treating physician. Subjects who present with a nonunion of a long bone will be invited to speak to the research coordinator regarding the study. An internet based randomization system will be used to allocate subjects to treatment groups. Participating sites will be given ...

The Spectrum Dynamics Multi-purpose CZT SPECT camera is a whole body SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) scanner which utilises solid-state cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors to visualise injected, or otherwise introduced, radioactivity in the human body. The CZT SPECT camera detects the location and distribution of gamma-emitting radionuclides in ...

The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Trabecular Metal Humeral Stem when used in primary, total or hemi shoulder arthroplasty. This will be done by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records. Data will be collected and analyzed to monitor ...

Current surgical treatment of humeral head fracture does not follow a universally accepted treatment algorithm. Treatment guidelines are lacking sufficient prospective controlled evidence to support any one option as doctrine. However, the generally accepted dogma regarding the surgical treatment of fractures considered high-risk for Avascular Necrosis (AVN), and also symptomatic ...

Primary Endpoint: To establish that the transplantation of BonoFill-II into bone defect/gap is safe under the following conditions: No treatment-related appearance of heterotrophic bone ossification No excessive bone formation at the transplantation sites No abnormalities in the treated sites Secondary Endpoint: To establish that the transplantation of BonoFill-II into bone ...
