To compare the functional outcome of ORIF with a volar locking plate to closed reduction and plaster immobilisation in patients with dislocated extra-articular distal radius fractures.
The primary objective is to assess bone structure parameters and bone strength by high resolution peripheral quantitative CT evaluation (HRpQCT) and physical activity in relation with subsequent falls, fractures and mortality in patients with a…
Primary Objective:To examine the effect of pre-operative cooling versus pressure bandage on the time to surgery in adult patients who sustained a displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture (DIACF) that will be treated operatively using an extended…
The aim of this prospective, multicenter, trial is 1) to describe the effect of a suprapatellar approach on anterior knee pain, and 2) to assess the effect of a transverse versus a longitudinal transpatellar incision on anterior knee pain.
The primary objective is to study the effect of sensor monitoring embedded in an OT rehabilitation program for older persons after hip fracture on recovery of daily functioning, 6 months after the start of rehabilitation, as compared to coaching by…
The objective of this study is to determine the clinical outcomes of ultrasound guided cubital nerve blockage using prilocaine, in patients with distal radius fractures and compare these results to patients treated with a fracture hematoma block.
Aim of this study is to determine the functional outcome after a minimum of 1 year follow-up after fixation of the fractured olecranon with TBW or PF. Subgroup analyses will be done to investigate the assumed advantage of PF compared to TBW in…
To compare radiological and functional outcome in 2 retrospective cohorts. We compare the results of the MILAN study with a cohort after changing our operative strategy in 2010.
1. To explore the validity and usefulness of Bone Microindentation Technique (BMT) in the assessment of bone quality in patients with osteoporosis and a spectre of bone diseases characterised with (localised) increased bone turnover. 2. To study the…
The data will be used in order to evaluate statistical variability (mean, SD) in an attempt to predict an appropriate sample size prior to the RCT based on the effect size, alpha and beta. The aim of the RCT is to assess the effects of the Osteoline…
Primary Objective: To compare the function and strength of the hip of patients with a trochanteric fracture with and without a fracture of the lesser trochanter.Secondary Objective(s):The following parameters will be assessed and compared for…
To assess functional outcome and using gait analysis to quantify kinematic and kinetic abnormalities of servicemen who suffered foot injuries due to combat actions.
To compare Bone Material Strength of the tibia at the side of a fracture or arhtrodesis with that of the opposite tibia in patients who had been immobilized for at least 6 weeks after a recently sustained fracture of the ankle of calcaneus or after…
To investigate clinical outcome, functional outcome and accuracy of patient-tailored plating in corrective osteotomy procedures and compare this to the standard osteotomy procedures based on 2D imaging and standard fixation plates. Additionally we…
The aim of the present study is to implement and evaluate the 'ZELFIE game' in vulnerable geriatric patients after hip-surgery, and in patients with an increased risk of falling. The game is specifically tailored to and co-created with the…
The purpose of the current study is to examine the additional diagnostic value of the stress radiograph in determining deltoid ligament disruption in ankle fractures. The sensitivity and specificity of this test will be compared with findings on MRI…
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Gamma3 intramedullary nails versus sliding hip screws will improve quality of life in patients with intertrochanteric fractures (hip fractures). We will also compare functional recovery,…
The primary objectives are to assess the degree of OA that patients develop 10 to15 year after a DRF, find out whether there is there is a difference in degree of osteoarthritis between conservative treated patients with and without an indication…
To study whether a reduction of the current radiographic follow-up protocol in patients with uncomplicated distal radius and ankle fractures would lead to significant cost savings without compromising quality of care.
To investigate the effect of a GFC regarding major adverse events (AE) with a relationship to the treatment / residential status / immobilization (as defined under "Primary outcome measures") from surgery to a 36 month follow-up.
