3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a phase I, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center study of the effects of surgical site injection on pain and narcotic utilization in participants who undergo surgery for lower extremity fractures. 200 participants with lower extremity fractures who are admitted for operative fixation will be included in the study. Participants will be randomized to receive either a pain cocktail injection around the fracture site and surrounding tissues or control (no injection). An analysis of pain scores, rehabilitation progress, length of stay, narcotic utilization, and satisfaction scores will be performed.
Is there a functional outcome difference when treating pertrochanteric fractures with a short or long cephalomedullary nail?
This study will evaluate whether teriparatide is superior to the active comparator in the change from baseline of lumbar spine BMD (bone mineral density) in men and postmenopausal women with low bone mass and a recent pertrochanteric hip fracture.
