Purpose: The purpose of this OTA-approved pilot study was to compare the clinical and functional outcomes knee joint after infrapatellar (IP) versus suprapatellar (SP) tibial nail insertion. Design: Prospective, randomized. Setting: Level I trauma center. Methods: After institutional review board approval, skeletally mature patients with OTA 42 shaft fractures were randomized into either an IP or SP insertion group informed consent obtained. also underwent prenail postnail patella-femoral...
Objectives: To determine if indomethacin has a positive clinical effect for the prophylaxis of heterotopic ossification (HO) after acetabular fracture surgery. whether affects union rate fractures. Design: Prospective randomized double-blinded trial. Setting: Level 1 regional trauma center. Patients: Skeletally mature patients treated operatively an acute through Kocher–Langenbeck approach. Intervention: Patients were randomly allocated to 4 groups comparing placebo (group 1) 3 days 2), week...
Numerous studies have demonstrated that long-term outcomes after orthopedic trauma are associated with psychosocial and behavioral health factors evident early in the patient's recovery. Little is known about how to identify clinically actionable subgroups within this population.To examine whether risk protective measured at 6 weeks injury could classify individuals into clusters evaluate these explain variations 12-month outcomes.A prospective observational study was conducted between July...
Severe foot and ankle injuries are complex challenging to treat, often requiring multiple operations salvage the limb contributing a prolonged healing period. There is some evidence suggest that early amputation for patients may result in better long-term outcomes than salvage. The challenge identify regional injury burden an individual would outcome with amputation. OUTLET study prospective, multicenter observational comparing 18-month after versus among aged 18-60 years severe distal...
The optimal technique for a transtibial amputation in young, active, and healthy patient is controversial. Proponents of the Ertl procedure (in which cut ends tibia fibula are joined with bone bridge synostosis) argue that residual limb more stable confers better prosthetic fit improved function especially among high-performing individuals. At same time, associated longer operative healing time may be higher complication rate compared standard Burgess procedure. TAOS prospective, multicenter...
The vast majority of the orthopedic trauma literature has dealt with risk infection as a function time to debridement and severity open fracture. goal this analysis was determine if either incidence or causative organism posttraumatic varies season in which fracture occurred. No such study been previously published.This is retrospective chart review all skeletally mature patients sustaining an upper lower extremity long bones from 2007 2012. Charts were reviewed extract information regarding...
