Background/Objectives: Clavicle injuries are common and seem to be frequently subject diagnostic misclassification. The accurate identification of clavicle fractures is essential, particularly for registry Big Data analyses. This study aims assess the frequency errors in injury classifications. Methods: retrospective analyzed patient data from two Level 1 trauma centers, covering period 2008 2019. Included were cases with ICD-coded diagnoses medial, midshaft, lateral fractures, as well...
Abstract Background Rib and sternum fractures are common injuries associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The fracture mechanism is either direct by application of force on anterior ribs or indirect bending through compression the thorax. aim this study was to determine morphologies rib after CPR reevaluate prior findings localisation, type degree dislocation. Methods present based all inpatients treated for chest wall non traumatic cardiac arrest at a Level 1 Trauma Centre from...
Flexion and compression forces to the trunk can cause severe instability of vertebral column anterior chest wall, mostly associated with an unstable fracture sternum. In combination, worst case would be a complete disruption trunk. Some authors consider sternum-rib-complex fourth column. This study discusses possibilities treat instable injuries sternal fractures concomitant spine through plating employing locked plate osteosynthesis in low profile design instead use bulky implants.11...
Different ways to stabilize a sternal fracture are described in literature. Respecting different mechanisms of trauma such as the direct impact anterior chest wall or flexion-compression injury trunk, there is need retain each fragment correct position while neutralizing shearing forces sternum. Anterior plating provides best stability and therefore increasingly used most cases. However, many surgeons reluctant perform osteosynthesis due possible complications difficulties preoperative...
In the running community, a forefoot strike (FFS) pattern is increasingly preferred compared with rearfoot (RFS) pattern. However, it has not been fully understood which may better reduce adverse joint forces within different joints of lower extremity.To analyze 3-dimensional (3D) stress in ankle, knee, and hip runners either FFS or RFS pattern.Descriptive laboratory study.In 22 (11 habitual strikers, 11 strikers), patterns were at 3.0 m/s (6.7 mph) on treadmill integrated force plates 3D...
In severely injured patients with multiple rib fractures the beneficial effect of surgical stabilization is still unknown. The existing literature shows divergent results and especially indication right timing an operation are subject a broad discussion. aim this study was to determine influence (SSRF) on outcome in multi-center database special regard duration ventilation, intensive care overall hospital stay.Data from TraumaRegister DGU® collected between 2008 2017 were used evaluate over...
Thorax trauma frequently occurs in which injuries to the bony chest, lung contusions (LCs), and others are diagnosed. The significance of this violation is described very differently mostly based on monocentric data. A retrospective analysis TraumaRegister DGU® (TR-DGU) dataset (Project 2014-062) was performed between 2009 2014 (injury severity score [ISS] ≥ 16, primary admission a center, no isolated traumatic brain injury). Patients with LC (Abbreviated Injury Scale [AIS] 3 + 4) were...

Background Isolated sternal fractures (SFs) rarely show complications, but their influence in a thorax trauma of the seriously injured still remains unclear. Methods A retrospective analysis TraumaRegister DGU® was performed involving years 2009 to 2013 (Injury Severity Score [ISS] ≥ 16, primary admission center). Cohort formation: Unilateral and bilateral flail chest (FC) injuries with without concomitant SF, respectively. Results In total, 21,741 patients (25% female) met inclusion...
Background: Flail chest injuries (FCI) are associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. As concomitant clavicle fracture in FCI even worsens the outcome, question is how can those costoclavicular (CCI) be managed surgically. Methods: 11 patients CCI were surgically treated by locked plate osteosynthesis of Clavicle underlying ribs through limited surgical approaches under general anesthesia. Patients followed up after 2, 6, 12, 26 52 weeks. Results: All showed severe wall deformity...

<b>Background</b> The literature is silent on the relationship between symptoms and Haller index. Nor there a classification of severity physical complaints. <b>Materials Methods</b> Retrospectively, data from 128 patients (102 funnel, 25 pigeon chest patients, 1 mixed type) were evaluated. To objectify symptoms, we developed score to describe level ailments. This includes 10 different as well situation or frequency in which they occur an impact factor. depends how much affect everyday life....
Background Sternum fractures (SFs) are described as a rare entity of bony fractures. Various accident mechanisms may cause SF such the direct impact traffic accidents and also by indirect within framework falls. Osteoporotic play an increasing role in SF, but no reliable data on age distribution representative collective have been published so far. Material Methods The all inpatients treated with (S22.2) Germany from 2005 to 2012 using diagnosis-related group-based routine was evaluated....
