NCT07280169
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to decrease non-union rates in distal femur fracture fixation. Carbo-fix lateral femur plate and standard intramedullary nail-plate constructs have been shown to have lower non-union rates. With decreased non-union rates, re-operation rates will decrease, leading to improved patient outcomes and clinical care. This study will randomize patients to one of the two groups. Then investigators will be collecting data on the standard plate and nail combination and compare outcomes with the Carbofix plate to see differences in union rates. All procedures are currently standard of care and no procedures are research only.
NCT05805774
Periprosthetic distal femur fractures are a significant source of morbidity and mortality for elderly patients. One treatment option involved a surgical fixation with plates or nails, screws and cables/wires along the side of your fractured bone. The second method consists in replacing your knee joint with an artificial knee prosthesis (artificial knee joint). The primary objective is to determine if acute distal femur replacement improves knee pain and functional outcomes compared to surgical fixation. Secondary outcomes are mortality, reoperation, complications, post-operative pain and quality of life. A health economic analysis will be conducted to assess the cost-effectiveness of both treatments. A total of 148 patients (74/group) will be enrolled in the study.
NCT04008940
In order to assess the rate and mode of failure cases observed in patients with distal femur fractures treated with a distal femur plates, anonymized radiographs from those patients will be collected retrospectively. All available images will reviewed by an expert review board in regards to fracture classification, implant and surgery details, quality of initial reduction and plate positioning as well as the occurrence of mechanical complications and the outcome in terms of fracture healing (if available). Additionally, age and gender as basic demographical data will be collected in a de-identified way..
NCT06028971
The goal of this observational multicenter case series is to assess the safety and performance of the CE-marked "Biphasic Plate Distal Femur" during standard of care.
NCT06078371
Analgesic drug study that will compare pain outcomes of opioid analgesia and opioid-free analgesia in post-operative orthopedic patients.
NCT01766648
To determine if Far Cortical Locking screws increase fracture healing rates at 3 months in Closed Distal Femur Fractures in adults when compared to Standard screw constructs. Fracture healing at 3 months will be assessed via radiographic and clinical assessment of the fracture. Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference in fracture healing at 3 months post-fixation between subjects treated with far cortical locking screw or standard screw fixation.
NCT01693367
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of Dynamic Locking Screws (DLS) used to stabilize the shaft component of distal femur fractures in comparison to standard locking screws (SLS). The hypothesis is that DLS will lead to better functional outcomes (WOMAC score) due to increased and more symmetrical callus formation and fewer non-unions.
