The objective is to investigate the excess value of the Fixion Proximal Femur Nailing System in comparison with the Gamma 3 Nail in patients with an unstable pertrochanteric femur fracture.
To show that there is a significant difference in satisfaction between both reduction techniques of the doctor (difficulty) and patient (pain, duration and contence). Expected is that the technique according to Caldwell has better satisfaction than…
We propose a protocol to invite patients with isolated radius fractures identified from the AMC database to return for evaluation and radiographs in order to collect long term (>10 years) data regarding the outcomes of these fractures.
To assess whether increasing low hemoglobin levels to near normal accelerate functional recovery and shorten the revalidation period after hip fracture surgery in the elderly.
Primary objective:The primary objective of this observational study is evaluate the use of a plasteraid splint to gain and hold the desired 90-0-0 protective position in the conservative treatment of patients with metacarpal fractures of the second…
The objective of this study is to compare the cost and effectiveness of standard non surgical management alone to balloon kyphoplasty using the KyphX-system for the treatment of acute vertebral body compression fractures.
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.
ObjectiveOur primary objective is to assess the impact of sliding hip screws versus cannulated screw fixation on rates of revision surgery at 2 years in individuals with femoral neck fractures. Our secondary objective is to determine the impact on…
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 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 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…
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 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…
Primary Objective:To examine the effect of ORIF versus nonoperative treatment of multiple simple fractured ribs on the rate of pneumonia within 30 days after trauma, in adult patients who sustained multiple simple fractured ribs.Secondary Objectives…
To compare the accuracy of syndesmotic reduction on an axial CT-scan postoperatively (reflecting syndesmoticmalreduction) after anatomical open reduction and fixation of the posterior malleolar fragment versus no fixation of theposterior fragment in…
Primary objective parameter: to assess whether a no dangling protocol is non-inferior to a dangling protocol in terms of proportion of patients who experienced partial flaps loss which did not require another free lap procedure at six months after…
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treatment with a circumferential cast compared to treatment with a splint, in patients with a reduced distal radius fracture. The hypothesis is that reduced distal radius fractures treated with a circumferential…
The primary objective of this trial is to test if these favorable results with the DLBP can be upheld in a multicenter randomized controlled trial with patients up to 65 years with a displaced FNF. We hypothesize that the DLBP is superior compared…
