Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Vs. Sham for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures Focusing on Pain and Economy.
The purpose of this randomized double-blind clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in relieving severe pain in patients with MRI-verified acute or sub-acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) compared to sham as well as examine the socio-economic implications associated with performing vertebroplasty. The primary outcome …
Immediate Vs. Delayed Weight Bearing Postoperative Protocol in Diabetic Ankle Fractures
Operatively managed diabetic ankle fractures have significant risk for complications. The cause for failure is likely multifactorial, however, a component of failure has to do with an inability to process pain and pressure normally. This loss of protective sensation allows for an increase in abnormal stresses placed on the recently …
Randomized Controlled Trial for Ankle Fracture Pain Control
This project is a multicenter, three armed, prospective randomized control trial studying the effectiveness of a long-acting local anesthetic "cocktail" in patients undergoing operative fixation of ankle fractures.
The Benefit of Repairing the Deltoid Ligament in Unstable Ankle Fractures
Ankle fractures occur in 1 out of 800 persons a year and is a common injury. The deltoid ligament is necessary for the stability of the joint and guides choice of treatment. Cadaveric studies have shown that deltoid ligament repair gives more stability than the osteosynthesis of the lateral malleolus …
Efficacy and Clinical Feasibility of the Ankle Muscle Power (AMP) Program for Return to Duty After an Ankle Fracture
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different standardized physical therapy rehabilitation programs on outcomes after an ankle fracture. Researchers will evaluate to see if the addition of ankle muscle power exercises (AMP) improve program adherence, muscle function, physical performance, and patient reported outcomes. The main questions …
Opioid-Free Pain Treatment in Trauma Patients
Analgesic drug study that will compare pain outcomes of opioid analgesia and opioid-free analgesia in post-operative orthopedic patients.
Simplified Post Op Rehabilitation for Ankle and Pilon Fractures
The aim of this study is to compare standard post operative rehabilitation with a simplified wooden block stretching protocol that will yield similar results.
Mangement of Spine Fracture
Each year, there are approximately 5 million new vertebral fractures worldwide1. Most of these fractures involve the thoracolumbar or lumbar spines. The thoracolumbar junction, due to its mechanical transition zone, and the lumbar spine, due to its absence of stabilizing articulations with the ribs, lordotic posture and more sagittal oriented …
Surgical Versus Non-surgical Treatment of Displaced Proximal Humerus Fracture in Adults Aged 50 to 65 Years
The goal of this clinical trial is to study whether surgery results in better functional outcomes than non-surgical treatment among patients aged 50-65 with a displaced proximal humerus fracture. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does osteosynthesis result in better patient-reported functional outcomes compared to non-surgical treatment …
Single Shot Exparel vs Catheters in Lower Extremity Trauma
This study will compare the use of single-shot Exparel, a long-acting local anesthestic, with the use of catheters that deliver a continuous flow of the short-acting local anesthetic ropivacaine. The comparison will be done in patients who receive preoperative adductor and sciatic nerve blocks prior to orthopedic surgery for traumatic …
