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), …
Ankle fractures constitute 9% of all fractures and have an incidence of approximately 187 per 100,000 persons per year in Norway. A posterior malleolar fragment (PMF), located on the lower backside of the tibia, is present in up to 46% of Weber B. Weber B fractures are the most common …
Cholecystectomy is one the most frequent laparoscopic procedures worldwide. It is a safe and effective operation but intraoperative bile duct injury remains a relevant complication with serious consequences for the patient. Most of the complications occur due to a lack of knowledge of the anatomy or misidentification of the cystic …
Little is known about how lung mechanics are affected during the very early phase after starting mechanical ventilation. Since the conventional method of measuring esophageal pressure is complicated, hard to interpret and expensive, there are no studies on lung mechanics on intensive care patients directly after intubation, during the first …
Posttraumatic stress disorder in adolescence impairs neurobiological networks underlying cognitive, social and emotional skills. Neuroimaging research that seeks to identify the neural mechanisms of treatments for PTSD could lead to novel treatments, but progress has been slow using current methods. The proposed study uses an innovative approach to identify neural …
The cornea plays a fundamental role in vision, being a complex tissue essential for ocular health. In ophthalmological practice, there are situations such as corneal crosslinking, where damage to the corneal epithelium occurs. Crosslinking is a surgical procedure aimed at strengthening collagen bonds in the corneal stroma to prevent the …
This study is designed to characterize the changes in diaphragm structure, function and biology during bridging to lung transplant by mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal life support.
The goal of this observational study is to determine if nerve transfer surgeries improve upper extremity function and quality of life in patients with a high level cervical spinal cord injury. Participants will: undergo standard of care pre- and post-op testing and study exams complete pre- and post-questionnaires undergo standard …
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of individualized, precise and standardized open-door posterior cervical surgery through a single-center, exploratory clinical study, so as to provide a more reliable basis for the treatment of cervical spinal stenosis.
Study to evaluate the conservative treatment of patients after their first episode of primary lateral patellar dislocation. Randomized controlled trial with 2 groups: standard treatment (2-weeks with brace) followed by physical therapy, compared with knee taping and physical therapy. 1-year follow-up. Measurements include physical exam, radiographs and MRI. Outcomes: recurrence, …
