Hematoma Block for Distal Radius Fracture
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound guided hematoma block versus traditional "blind" hematoma block for analgesia in distal radius fracture reduction.
Telerehabilitation in Patients With Ankle Fracture
The objective of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation program in the recovery of functionality and quality of life in patients recovering from ankle fracture. The main questions to be answered are: What is the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation program in the recovery of functionality …
Cervical Myelopathy in Hip Fracture Patients
Recent evidence has demonstrated a high rate of undiagnosed cervical myelopathy in patients presenting with hip fractures from a ground level fall. Identification and treatment of cervical myelopathy can help prevent falls and future fragility fractures. The purpose of this study is to screen ground level fall hip fracture patients …
Geriatric Lateral Compression 1 Pelvic Fractures
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, …
KT Tape for Pediatric Clavicle Fractures
Clavicle fractures in children are mostly managed non-operatively since they have an overall high union rate (95%) and a "good" functional outcome following nonoperative treatment. However, the downside of such a conservative approach is that patients have to live with pain and disability until the fracture heals. To minimize this, …
Regional Blocks for Lateral Condyle Fractures
The purpose of this study is to investigate the post-operative pain control in pediatric patients with closed lateral condyle fractures who undergo open reduction and percutaneous pinning. Patients will be randomized into one of two groups. Group 1 will receive an infraclavicular nerve block to the affected extremity by a …
Nutritional Supplementation in Geriatric Hip Fractures
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing outcomes between geriatric hip fractures who received a commercially available (XR RecoveryTM, Salt Lake City Utah) peri-operative nutritional supplement for three weeks post-operatively to those who receive standard nutritional counseling. The main question it aims to answer is: Does supplementation decrease muscle …
Essential Amino Acid Supplementation for Femoral Fragility Fractures
This trial will evaluate the impact of 4 weeks of postoperative essential amino acid (EAA)-based supplementation on muscle morphology after femoral fragility fracture. This trial will assess the ability of EAA-based to increase skeletal muscle metabolic activity, reduce inflammation, and induce muscle fiber hypertrophy, as well as preserve skeletal muscle …
A Study to Improve the Collaboration Between Primary and Secondary Health Care on the Treatment of Osteoporosis After a Hip Fracture.
This is a study to improve the collaboration between primary and secondary health care on the treatment of osteoporosis after a hip fracture. In Akershus University Hospital, patients 75 years or older with a hip fracture, are offered treatment with an infusion of zoledronic acid 5mg, combined with vitamin D …
Intramedullary Nail Versus Hip Arthroplasty in Unstable Trochanteric Hip Fractures
A hip fracture is a large burden to the patient with increased mortality, pain and increased need for daily assistance. Trochanteric fractures of the femur (FTF) represents about 35% of the hip fractures. Today FTFs are mainly treated with internal fixation using sliding hips screws (SHS) or intramedullary nail (IMN), …
