The efficacy of surgical treatment of Jones and stress fractures of the fifth metatarsal in athletes
To assess functional recovery after treatment with intramedullary screw fixation in athletes with a Jones or stressfracture of the fifth metatarsal.
The aim of this project is to determine the possible use of biomarkers for non or delayed union in long bone fractures of the diaphyseal femur and tibia.
Primary objective:Difference in AOFAS lesser increase scale after 3 months.Secondary objectives:VAS pain scoresFracture Consolidation PeriodDelayed unionLength MT-V measured at contralateral MT-V, malunionQuestionnaire FAAM
The objective of the study is to observe the performance of a new implant during and after surgery. The information from this project will help develop new techniques for using this product and be used to train other surgeons.
Results of recent trials suggest that operative treatment with locking plate fixation results in better functional outcomes than non-operative treatment. Because more patients were lost to follow-up than anticipated in the main randomised trial,…
To determine the amount of rotational instability in trochanteric femoral fractures, related to type of implant and fracture.The primary goal is to evaluate differences in fracture micromotion (i.e. translation and rotation) between different…
To determine the amount of in fracture micromotion (i.e. rotation and translation) in femoral neck fractures, related to type of used implant: a DHS or 3 cannulated hip screws.The secondary objective is to relate the micromotion to bone density, and…
The aim of this study is to examine two postoperative treatments for surgically corrected ankle fractures. Postoperative, direct functional mobilisation is compared to short term plaster cast fixation. The focus of this study is on postoperative…
What is the function of the forearm after a torus fracture in children at an age of 4 to 10 with different immobilisation techniquesWhat is the time that children after a torus fracture are using their limb, without making use of a form of…
Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the influence of clavicular shortening after fracture consolidation of a midshaft clavicular fracture, on the Active Range of Motion of the arm/shoulder. Measurements are performed with a…
Onset of effect of systemic therapy to enhance bone density (eg, bisphosphonates) is not immediate and may not adequately protect subjects with decreased bone density from fracture.Bisphosphonate therapy will typically require 2 to 3 years of active…
The aim of the proposed study is to improve functional outcome using locking angle-stable screw-plate osteosynthesis compared to plaster cast immobilization.
What are the clinical and radiological results of ORIF with a volar LCP in distal radius fractures?
Within WP6 of a EU Seventh Framework project, we will investigate associations between purinergic receptor SNPs and osteoporosis risk in humans. Genetic data from a fracture cohort in The Netherlands with high prevalence of osteoporosis will be…
To study the outcomes (hand function and and complications) in the long-term in patients who were treated with Intrinsic Plus plaster after a metacarpal (MC) V fracture.
The first objective of this retrospective study is to compare dorsal and volar plate fixation for the treatment of distal radius fractures in a large patient groep. The second objective is to determine which one is the most appropriate treatment,…
In this study we want to monitor the neurological complications occurring during hip operations, consisting of hip arthroplasty ('head-neck' prothesis) for traumatic hip fractures. We want to establish that there is more understanding of…
The primary goal is to determine the degree of independent functioning of the patient with a proximal humeral fracture.A secondary goal is to evaluate all primary and secondary costs during the rehabilitation period after a proximal humeral fracture…
Primary Objective: Our main goal is to determine whether dislocated distal radius fractures immobilized in dorsoflexion gives a better functional outcome in comparison to immobilisation with the wrist in palmarflexion. For this we will use the quick…
The main objective is to analyse whether or not active forward flexion of the shoulder six months after non-operative treatment of a proximal humerus fracture is better when physical therapy is initiated directly (within 3 weeks after injury and…
