4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study aims to examine the need for univalve or bivalve splitting of casts in pediatric patients with forearm fractures following closed reduction and cast application in a randomized, prospective fashion.
The hypothesis is that intramedullary nailing of the ulna and plating of the radius will result in a superior outcome as evidenced by two primary end points: 1. a lower rate of implant pain 2. a lower re-operation rate to remove painful hardware.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a sugar-tong splint is as effective as a long-arm cast in maintaining reduction of pediatric forearm shaft fractures in a randomized, prospective manner. Consented participants will be randomly assigned to be treated with either a sugar-tong splint or a long-arm cast (both standard of care treatments) in REDCap. Each participant will have a 50/50 chance of being assign to either treatment.
Analgesic drug study that will compare pain outcomes of opioid analgesia and opioid-free analgesia in post-operative orthopedic patients.
