Regaining insight in the re-angulating capacity of angular deformities in forearm fractures of the juvenile bone. Thereby making use of radiologic, clinical and functional parameters.
Our aim is to characterize the injury patterns and elements; to classify the fractures according to the AO, Colton and Schatzker Classifications and to obtain long-term follow-up data on patients treated for a complex olecranon fracture between 2002…
The goal of this research is to improve our understanding of the risk and prevention of osteoporosis-related fractures among female residents of 9 countries who are 55 years of age and older. Research Objectives* Describe the distribution of risk…
Primary objective:1. To assess functional outcome of patients with an osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after one year of follow-up.Secondary objectives:1. To assess radiological deterioration of sagittal alignment during one year of…
Comparative effectiveness research to determine cost-effectiveness of an existing healthcare policy, i.e. treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) after knee arthroscopy and lower leg plaster cast immobilization following surgical or…
The primary objective of this study is to compare the DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) after conservative treatment versus ORIF in adult patients who sustained a Mason type-II fracture of the radial head. Secondary aims are to…
Primary objectiveTo compare the Constant scores (reflecting functional outcome and pain) at one year after primary hemiarthroplasty versus non-operative treatment in patients over 65 years of age who sustained a complex humeral fracture.Secondary…
The influence of the initial vitamin D status on the fracture consolidation will be studied. These study results might give rise to a randomised controles trial with vitamin D supplementation in order to investigate the effect of supplementation on…
The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the difference in functional outcome, assessed with the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation Score (PRWE), after conventional fluoroscopically assisted plate fixation and plate fixation…
It is hypothesized that the type of radiographs and patient positioning is influential on the measured relative and absolute shortening of the MSCF. The goal of this study is to investigate to what extent the type radiograph used and patient…
to calculate the diagnostic test accuray and by doing so to determine the value of ultrasound in ankle trauma.
The search for correlations between components of the diet and the group has experienced a hip fracture. These findings are compared with healthy elderly. The results can contribute to nutrition -focused interventions in future studies .
Primary Objective: To determine whether pre-operative planning of the ORIF of group I clavicle fractures saves time. Predefined periods during surgery/ parts of the surgery will be monitored and compared with the conventional method.Hypothesis:The…
The primary objectives are to assess the degree of OA that patients develop 10 to 15 year after a mallet finger fracture, to find out whether there is a difference in degree of OA between conservatively treated patients with and without an…
The objective of this study is to determine the clinical outcomes of ultrasound guided axillary nerve block using prilocaine, in patients with distal radius fractures and compare these results to patients treated with a ultrasound guided cubital…
The goals of this study are to evaluate the initial performance, safety and functional results of the Anser; A novel intramedullary device for fixation of midshaft clavicle fractures. The primary outcome measures will be union rate, complication…
The primary objectives are to determine the feasibility of a multi-national prospective cohort study:1) Assess our ability to recruit women across clinical sites and compare actual recruitment rates to our current estimates;2) Evaluate adherence to…
It is our hypothesis that one week of plaster cast treatment will give a better functional outcome score as Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) and a lower pain score at 6 weeks post injury and will be less costly as compared to the control group…
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of audio-visual immersion on pain perception in patients undergoing a short surgical procedure (a.i. wrist fracture reduction) under local anesthesia in the Emergency Department (ED).…
This intervention study investigates the effectiveness, costs and cost-effectiveness of a protein-enriched diet and resistance exercise training for 3 months on bone and muscle health, and quality of life in older adults recovering from an acute hip…
