Brain connectivity after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has not been investigated longitudinally with respect to both functional and structural networks together within the same patients, crucial capture multifaceted neuropathology of comprehensively monitor course recovery compensatory reorganizations at macro-level. We performed a prospective study 49 mTBI patients an average 5 days 1 year post-injury healthy controls. Neuropsychological assessments as well resting-state...
The objective of this study was to evaluate group-by-time interactions between gray matter morphology healthy controls and that patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) as they transitioned from acute chronic stages, relate these findings long-term cognitive alterations identify distinct recovery trajectories good outcome (GO) poor (PO). High-resolution T1-weighted magnetic resonance images were acquired in 49 mTBI within 7 days 1 year post-injury at equivalent times controls. Using...
Reduced integrity of white matter (WM) pathways and subtle anomalies in gray (GM) morphology have been hypothesized as mechanisms mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). However, findings on structural changes early stages after mTBI are inconsistent related to symptoms severity rare. Fifty-one patients were assessed with multimodal neuroimaging clinical methods exclusively within 7 days following compared 53 controls. Whole-brain connectivity based diffusion tensor imaging was subjected...
Background: Tibial plateau fractures occur frequently while participating in winter sports, but there is no information on whether skiers can resume sports and recreational activities after internal fixation of these fractures. Hypothesis: Skiers low-impact activity tibial Study Design: Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods: A total 103 patients were surveyed by postal questionnaires to determine their at a mean 7.8 ± 1.8 years intra-articular The survey also included the Lysholm score,...
To identify the potential controllable risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI).A retrospective cohort study.Seven Level-I trauma centers.Patients with OTA/AO 41 B or C tibial plateau fractures (n = 2106).Various treatments fractures.The primary outcome was SSI after index operation. The secondary outcomes were SSI, identified using backward stepwise generalized multiple regression analysis.Of 2106 enrolled patients, 94 had deep SSIs. average rate 4.5%. Fracture morphology revealed...
Abstract Introduction Hoffa fractures are a rare and often overlooked entity. The main goal of surgical treatment is to restore the articular surface maintain knee function. However, current clinical data indicate heterogeneous outcomes. aim this multicenter study was obtain representative set patients with isolated special emphasis on concomitant soft tissue injuries, diagnostic algorithms, strategies functional Materials methods Participating Level I trauma centres were asked review their...
Abstract Background Surgical site infection (SSI) occurs in 3–10 % of patients with surgically treated tibial plateau fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the impact SSI on patients’ outcome after fixation Methods We conducted a retrospective multicenter seven participating level I trauma centers between January 2005 and December 2014. All followed up SSI. In addition, three without as reference group. Descriptive data follow-up patient-reported scores (Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome...
We found treatment of clavicular midshaft fractures using titanium elastic nails (TENs) in combination with postoperative free ROM was associated a complication rate 78%. The use end caps reduced the to 60%, which we still considered unacceptably high. Thus, explored an alternative approach.We investigated whether (1) could be by cautious lateral advancement TENs, intraoperative oblique radiographs rule out perforation, and limited postoperatively; (2) fluoroscopy time reduced; (3) shoulder...
(1) Background: The treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) is debated controversially. Current clinical knowledge mainly based on small single-center cohorts. goal this study was to evaluate the predictability risk factors for complications after a PHF in large cohort multicentric setting. (2) Methods: Clinical data 4019 patients with PHFs were retrospectively collected from 9 participating hospitals. Risk local affected shoulder assessed using bi- and multivariate analyses. (3)...
Abstract Purpose Surgical treatment of tibial plateau fracture (TPF) is common. site infections (SSI) are among the most serious complications TPF. This multicentre study aimed to evaluate effect fracturoscopy on incidence surgical in patients with Methods We performed a retrospective study. All an AO/OTA 41 B and C TPF from January 2005 December 2014 were included. Patients divided into three groups: those who underwent arthroscopic reduction internal fixation (ARIF), open (ORIF)...
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) generate acute disruptions of function and a subset patients shows persisting cognitive, affective, somatic symptoms. Deficits in the executive domain are among more frequent cognitive impairments reported by mTBI patients. By means independent component analysis, event-related potential components from visual cued go/nogo task, namely contingent negative variation (CNV) NoGo-P3, were decomposed into distinct that have been shown to be associated with...
Combined PCL injuries involving the posteromedial/-lateral corner (PMC/PLC) usually require surgical management. Literature shows controversy regarding standards of treatment. Suture-augmented repair leads to excellent results in acute knee dislocations but has not been investigated clinically combined injuries. The purpose this multicentre study was evaluate clinical outcome technique injuries.N = 33 patients with PMC/PLC were treated by one-stage suture ligament bracing and accompanying...

Hand injuries are among the most common seen in general practitioner (GP) consultation hours and emergency departments often affecting dominant hand. We report on a case of unsuccessful primary exploration volar hand for foreign body by GP. In regard to detailed history injury mechanism, we performed clinical examination an additional ultrasound evaluation hand, suggesting evidence laceration one flexor tendons. Figures illustrating mechanism emphasize need determining kinematics course...
Fractures de la clavicule chez l'adulte Mécanisme d'accident et épidémiologieLa majorité des fractures résultent d'un choc indirect au niveau l'articulation acromio-claviculaire, lorsque le bras se trouve long du corps.Les blessures résultant chocs directs sont rares.Typiquement, les touchent jeunes hommes lors d'accidents loisirs, par conséquent elles fréquentes en été hiver, durant week-end.Leur localisation leur fréquence représentées dans figure 1: Anatomie pertinente co-lésions La est...
