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.…
Primary Objective: To compare the function and strength of the hip of patients with a trochanteric fracture with and without a fracture of the lesser trochanter.Secondary Objective(s):The following parameters will be assessed and compared for…
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…
To determine the incidence of chronic pain and to identify risk factors for the development of chronic musculoskeletal pain after trauma to the extremities of the musculoskeletal system. Other objectives are determination of the prevalence of acute…
Determination of post-traumatic osteoarthritis in patients with a short follow-up period after ankle-surgery.
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…
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…
This study aims to gain insight into the effect of inflammatory factors on bone metabolism. For this purpose we formulated the following research questions:1. Which circulating inflammatory factors play a central role in the pathogenesis of general…
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 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 .
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…
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…
The primary objective is to study the effectiveness of a single intravenous dose of 2g of cefazolin on SSIs after IR following fixation of foot, ankle and/or lower leg fractures. Secondary objectives are to study the cost-effectiveness of 2g of…
The DEPTHip Study aims to shed light on the question whether the use of a continuous ultrasound-guided FICB employing catheter technique, administered in the ED within 2 hours after presentation of an elderly patient with a hip fracture, can…
