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.
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 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.
To determine the mechanisms underlying motor skill training, somatosensory electrical stimulation, and a combined intervention on motor skill acquisition, motor memory consolidation, and interlimb transfer in healthy younger and older adults.
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: Compare functional results of the three postoperative care regimens assessed with the Olerud-Molander ankle score 12 weeks after surgery.Secondary Objective(s): 1) Compare functional results and patient satisfaction of the three…
To determine the prevalence of posttraumatic osteoarthritis following a PLD-PLFDs in a cohort of young non-osteoporotic patients and correlation with objective and subjective outcome measures.
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 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.
The primary objective of this study is to determine (differences in) patient satisfaction with pain relief and pain intensity (Numeric Rating Scale) using a step 1 vs. a step 2 based analgesic regimen.The secondary objective is to determine…
The primary objective of the study is to collect safety and performance data of the IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System when used for the treatment of painful impending and actual fractures of the humerus secondary to metastatic…
