Bacteriophage therapy has recently attracted increased interest, particularly in difficult-to-treat infections. Although it is not a novel concept, standardized treatment guidelines are currently lacking. We present the first steps towards establishment of "multidisciplinary phage task force" (MPTF) and pathway, based on our experience four patients with severe musculoskeletal After review their medical history current clinical status, multidisciplinary team found infections eligible for...
As well as debridement and irrigation, soft-tissue coverage, osseous stabilization, systemic antibiotic prophylaxis is considered the benchmark in management of open fractures considerably reduces risk subsequent fracture-related infections (FRI). The direct application antibiotics surgical field (local antibiotics) has been used for decades additional fractures, although definitive evidence confirming a beneficial effect scarce. purpose present study was to review clinical regarding...
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the objective and subjective outcomes, as well radiographic results after elbow hemiarthroplasty (HA) for comminuted distal humerus fractures in elderly patients.Ten female patients with a mean age 75.2 years were treated HA either osteoporotic, (n = 8) or early failed osteosynthesis 2). follow-up period 12.1 months. All examined evaluated using Mayo Elbow Performance Score Disabilities Arm, Shoulder, Hand score. Radiographic postoperative outcomes...
The present paper describes three cases where ER-REBOA® was used with partial aorta occlusion (AO), by performing a resuscitative endovascular balloon of the or pREBOA, in an austere pre-hospital military environment. In addition, because no specific REBOA algorithm for environment exists yet, this seeks to fill gap, proposing new pragmatic algorithm. Belgian Special Operations Surgical Team applied patients according decisional algorithm, based on MIST acronym trauma patients. Only 3 ml,...
Cement augmentation of the proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) screws might reduce complication rates in osteoporotic bones. This study compared risk mechanical failure during first year after PHILOS™ treatment fractures (PHF) without (control group) and with (augmented screw augmentation. Secondary objectives were to report shoulder functions, quality life (QoL), adverse events (AEs), reoperation rates. multicenter randomized trial enrolled patients aged ≥ 65 years...
In order to define strategies curb the continuing increase in healthcare costs, we describe cost breakdown of open tibial fractures. Twenty-seven clinical and process variables were recorded retrospectively, five main hospital related categories defined. Three multivariate linear models fitted data. Total costs fractures almost twice as high compared closed mainly existed hospitalization costs. Length-of-stay (LOS) was found be most important variable driving Deep infection lead a 6-fold LOS...
Abstract Background Fractures of the proximal humerus are associated with a profound temporary and sometimes permanent, impairment function quality life. The treatment comminuted fractures like selected three-or four-part split humeral head is demanding unresolved problem, especially in elderly. Locking plates appear to offer improved fixation; however, screw cut-out rates ranges due fracture collapse high. As this may lead higher revision surgery, it be preferable treat elderly primarily...
Abstract Conventional anatomically contoured plates do not adequately fit most tibiae. This emphasizes the need for a more thorough morphological study. Statistical shape models are promising tools to display anatomical variations within population. Herein, we aim provide better insight into of tibia and plateau. Seventy-nine CT scans tibiae were segmented, principal component analysis was performed. Five morphologically important parameters measured on 3D mean tibial shapes as well −3SD +3...
