Magnesium alloys have recently been rediscovered as biodegradable implants in musculoskeletal surgery. This study is an ex-vivo trial to evaluate the imaging characteristics of magnesium different modalities compared conventional metallic implants. A CE-approved Herbert screw (MAGNEZIX®) and a titanium same dimensions (3.2x20 mm) were imaged using modalities: digital radiography (DX), multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), high resolution flat panel CT (FPCT) magnetic resonance (MRI). The...
Scaphoid fractures are the most common carpal fractures. They often need to be treated by surgery, where use of a compression screw is globally accepted gold standard. Surgeons may choose between different implant materials including titanium alloys, which remain in body or removed after healing. An alternative biodegradable magnesium-based implants. Properties magnesium alloys include high stability, osteoconductivity, potential reduction infections and few artifacts magnetic resonance...
Introduction . Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are now commonly used for breast reconstruction surgery. There various products available: ADMs derived from human (HADM), porcine (PADM), or bovine (BADM) sources. Detailed long-term follow-up studies necessary to detect differences in complication rates between these products. Material and Methods From 2010 2015, forty-one patients underwent 52 ADM-breast reconstructions our clinic, including oncologic augmentation revisions (<mml:math...
Autologous fat grafting represents an attractive source for tissue engineering applications in the field of reconstructive medicine. However, adipogenic differentiation protocols human adipose-derived stem cells, concentration glucose and insulin varies considerably. With intent to gain maximum augmentation, we focused on late phase adipogenesis. In this study, modified protocol cells by prolongation induction period application highly concentrated insulin. Human were isolated from...
Abstract Background AirSeal® is a valve-free insufflation system that enables stable pneumoperitoneum with continuous smoke evacuation and CO 2 recirculation during laparoscopic surgery. Comparative evidence on the use of standard insufflator in general surgery procedures scarce. The aim this study was to compare surgical outcomes between insufflators patients undergoing most frequently performed procedures. Methods One hundred ninety-eight elective cholecystectomy, colorectal hernia repair...
Robotic surgery has emerged as a promising technique for reconstructive procedures, offering potential advantages across various surgical fields. Following initial case reports on the use of Symani Surgical System (Medical Microinstruments, S.p.A) microsurgical anastomosis, authors evaluated its full in extremity reconstruction. They conducted retrospective analysis patients with soft tissue defects upper and lower extremities treated between February 2022 May 2024. Each patient underwent...
Severe hand trauma, leading to extensive skeletal and tissue defects, requires plastic surgical reconstruction of the highest level aiming at maximizing function aesthetics. The intention this study was investigate clinical parameters resource consumption connected with severe injuries, specific emphasis on a follow-up evaluation quality life after process.In retrospective study, we evaluated patients injuries from 2013 2016 who had completed non-surgical treatment. Measures included total...
In Dupuytren's disease (DD), limited fasciectomy is the mainstay of surgical therapy in patients at risk contractures and recurrences. New minimally invasive treatments such as injection collagenase clostridium histolyticum have evolved a common tool for preliminary treatment contractures. However, recurrences their remain controversial. this study, we evaluate benefit repeated with aggressive forms multiple contractures.We evaluated outcome 16 undergoing 3 or more times on single...
The aim of this study was to determine, if Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) can be used as an alternative method providing anesthesia in management deep infections the hand. Since advent WALANT 2003, hand have been regarded a contraindication its use. Occasional shortage anesthesiologic manpower, especially during busy call hours and current COVID-19 pandemic lead delay treatment where urgent surgery is needed, prevent progress infection, that result severe morbidity.In...
Abstract Background The interest in youthful appearance and rejuvenating procedures is unbroken our society. Besides surgical procedures, permanent fillers are utilized. incorrect unprofessional use of these substances, auto-injections particular, have devastating results for patients challenging the plastic surgeon. aim this retrospective study was to delineate differences between non-permanent filler complications appropriate treatment options. Methods We conducted a researched hospital...
This study investigates the impact of presentation time patients with hand infections to surgeons on hospital stay and frequency necessary operations.379 treated in our clinic from 2007 2014 were evaluated retrospectively for surgeon, trauma, length stay, operations.On average, a surgical delayed by more than one day extended 1.22 days (KHVD) (95 % CI: 1.20-1.25, p < 0.001). Also, odds having undergo surgery increased 13.59 each CI 4.01 -25.43 %, KHVD also factor 1.09 1.03-1.15, 0.001)...
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die aktuellen Richtlinien für Verletzungen durch Tierbisse empfehlen chirurgisches Debridement und Antibiotikatherapie. Im Allgemeinen führen Bisswunden zu Infektionen mit einem sehr hohen Risiko tief eindringende Hautläsionen. können sich jedoch die Eindringtiefe Beteiligung verschiedener anatomischer Strukturen drastisch unterscheiden. Eine prognostische Klassifikation über Tiefe oder Schwere gibt es nur Gesichtsverletzungen bei pädiatrischen Patienten – das ist...
Background: This study investigates the risk factors associated with postoperative complications in musculoskeletal tumor surgeries and evaluates impact of benchmarking enhancing surgical outcomes. Methods: Conducted at a tertiary referral center, this retrospective analysis included 196 patients who underwent for various tumors, ranging from soft tissue to bone sarcomas. Patient characteristics, along interventions outcomes, were comprehensively assessed using Charlson Comorbidity Index...
Abstract Introduction Osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint is a common pathology hand, which may show an increasing prevalence in Germany due to demographic development. In recent years, not only current gold standard - resection arthroplasty thumb saddle has been used, but also therapeutic arthroscopy. addition patient’s clinical complaints, radiographic diagnostics have used decide on treatment, although it proven whether there correlation between imaging and complaints....
Background: Hand infections can spread quickly and destroy functional structures. Early diagnosis adequate therapy prevent severe morbidities. The aim of this study was to evaluate systematically the hand according injury mechanism, pathogens, entry site. Methods: data medical records 425 patients were collected analyzed retrospectively. Results: site had a significant influence on severity infections. Especially finger lesions led Furthermore, high C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration...
Therapeutic success of surgical interventions is significantly affected by patients' adherence. Patient autonomy can lead to unreasonable behavior. We analyzed the consequences and predisposing factors patient self-discharge in a plastic hand surgery cohort.Data was collected retrospectively case-control study with n = 73 patients who had self-discharged 10-year time period 130 controls (discharge surgeon). Data through hospital information systems particular questionnaire. Statistical...
