Hip fractures in the elderly population are common and number of patients is rising. For young geriatric with undisplaced osteosynthesis primary type treatment. The dynamic hip screw (DHS) around for many years proved its value especially displaced fractures. Since 2018 femoral neck system (FNS) available as an alternative showing promising biomechanical results. aim this study to evaluate clinical results FNS compare it DHS.Patients older than 18 Garden I-IV that were treated a level 1...

Abstract Mental traumatization is associated with long-bone growth retardation, osteoporosis and increased fracture risk. We revealed earlier that mental trauma disturbs cartilage-to-bone transition during bone repair in mice. Trauma tyrosine hydroxylase-expressing neutrophils marrow callus. Here we show hydroxylase expression the hematoma of patients correlates positively acknowledged stress, depression, pain scores as well individual ratings healing-impairment pain-perception...

Introduction Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are a major event and rising incidence over last decade. Advancing age numerous comorbidities largely account for high mortality rate require geriatric expertise. Treatment options total hip arthroplasty (THA), hemiarthroplasty (HA) or osteosynthesis. Literature suggests THA HA better outcomes, although no clear guidelines exist. Material methods A retrospective chart review was performed of 63 patients (80 ± 11 years; 32 women, 31 men) with...

Die aktuelle demografische Entwicklung führt zu steigenden Fallzahlen osteoporoseassoziierter Frakturen. Bei den Betroffenen handelt es sich um Angehörige einer vulnerablen, meist geriatrischen, Patientengruppe mit nur limitierten körperlichen Ressourcen. Zusätzlich stellen pathophysiologische Besonderheiten des osteoporotischen Knochens reduzierter Knochenqualität und -quantität eine große Herausforderung an die verwendeten Osteosyntheseverfahren dar. Eine rasche postoperative Mobilisation...

Fragility fractures (FF) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality reflect a dramatic turning point in the life of older adults. The scientific discourse is dominated by proximal femoral fractures, but FF affect multiple parts body often precede hip fractures. Orthogeriatric co-management has shown to improve patient's outcome. We hypothesize that all geriatric patients benefit from orthogeriatric co-management.We retrospectively evaluated over 70 years (hip joint,...

Proximal humerus fractures are common injuries in the elderly. Locked plating showed high complication and reoperation rates at first. However, with second-generation implants augmentation, minimally invasive locked might be a viable alternative to arthroplasty or conservative treatment. A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients proximal treated between 2014 2020 plating. All over 60 years of age who underwent surgery fracture plate osteosynthesis (NCB, Philos, Philos...

Pediatric femur fractures are a major trauma in children. Different treatment algorithms have been developed but indications for surgical treatment, especially very young patients, still controversial. Literature recommends stabilization with elastic-stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) starting at the age of 3 and non-operative younger patients. This study sought to present outcome patients than years treated ESIN fractures.Inclusion criteria were fractures. Patient demographics, fracture...

Abstract Introduction Surgical treatment options for acromioclavicular joint separations are varied. Frequently, suspension devices (SD) inserted stabilization under arthroscopic view. This study investigates the feasibility and accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) digital-volume-tomography (DVT) C-arm navigated implantation with regard to general trend toward increasingly minimally invasive procedures. Materials methods The a TightRope ® suture button system via vertical drill channel through...

Anticoagulative medication such as antiplatelet drugs (PAI, acetylsalicylic acid and direct platelet aggregation inhibitors), vitamin-K-antagonist Warfarin (VKA) or oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are common among hip fracture patients, the perioperative management of these patients is a rising challenge in orthopaedic trauma. Our objective was to determine effect anticoagulation receiving early endoprosthetic treatment within 24 h after their admission. For period from 2016 2020, retrospective...

Abstract Background Geriatric comanagement has been shown to improve outcomes of older surgical inpatients. Furthermore, the choice discharge location, that is, continuity care, can have a fundamental impact on convalescence. These challenges and demands led SURGE-Ahead project aims develop clinical decision support system (CDSS) for geriatric in clinics including best care option, supported by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

Background: Forearm fractures are one of the most common in children. Over last years, a tendency towards surgical treatment was seen, especially closed reduction and internal fixation with elastic stable nailing (ESIN). Despite an overall low complication rate being described, risk intraoperative complications remains. Material Methods: A total 237 patients (mean age 8.3 ± 3.4 (1–16) years) forearm or radius treated ESIN between 2010 2020 were included study. The retrospective review 245...
