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…
The goal of the study is whether to establish if application of combined cyrocompression therapy directly postoperative after hip fracture surgery results in a significant reduction in painperception en whether this reduces the morfine consumption.…
In light of the above, our objective is to study the (cost-) effectiveness of a single intravenous gift of antibiotic prophylaxis with a firstgeneration cephalosporin prior to implant removal following surgical fixation of foot, ankle and/or lower…
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…
Primary Objective: Our main goal is to contribute to the identification of an attentional profile of the paediatric TBI population, by analysing the quality and efficiency of alerting, orienting, executive and sustained attentional functioning. This…
The aim of this project is to determine the possible use of biomarkers for non- or delayed-union in fractures of the diaphyseal femur and tibia.
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.
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…
In the present study the prevalence of and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency will be determined in a patient population with a fracture in the upper or lower extremity.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the fall training in older individuals by reduction of hip impact forces. Furthermore, to determine if older individuals are able to perform these fall techniques after training, fall performance is…
The aim of this study: - To determine the amount of pressure of PCCDs on the skin. The Pelvic Binder, SAM Sling and T-POD will be compared.- To determine the influence of body mass index on the pressure characteristics of these 3 types of PCCDs.The…
The research is set up to investigate three primary questions.1. Is there a difference between bone resorbing capacity between postmenopausal women with a vertebral fracture and postmenopausal women without a vertebral fracture and high bone mineral…
This pilot study will be performed to investigate whether the cantharidin-induced blister method is a useful alternative for the vacuum blister method in patients with acute or chronic CRPS.Replacement of the vacuum blister method by the filter disc…
To collect data regarding the prevalence of:I) - osteoporosis in SCI patients and the relation to characteristics of SCI. - fractures in SCI patients and the relation to characteristics of SCI. - active treatment of osteoporosis in SCI patients.II…
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 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…
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…
To asses if there is a difference in functional outcome between open reduction and fixation of the posterior fragment in trimalleolar AO-Weber B fractures with additional medium-sized posterior fragment (5-25% of the involved articular surface, AO…
Primary ObjectiveThis proposal concerns the inclusion of a peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) device in the Rotterdam Study to perform osteoporosis etiological research. Since 1990, the Rotterdam Study has performed research in the…
