Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a major complication in orthopedic and trauma surgery. The management choice of treatment can be difficult depending on multiple factors. Therefore, we implemented weekly multidisciplinary team discussion to determine diagnostic strategies FRI patients aimed analyze its effect clinical outcomes.Clinical outcomes treated before after implementation structured (MDT) approach with case were compared at follow-up 12 months.In total, n = 117 eligible for...
Aims This study aimed to evaluate the clinical application of PJI-TNM classification for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) by determining intraobserver and interobserver reliability. To facilitate its use in practice, an educational app was subsequently developed evaluated. Methods A total ten orthopaedic surgeons classified 20 cases PJI based on classification. Subsequently, re-evaluated using app. Classification accuracy calculated separately each subcategory (reinfection, tissue...
Little is known about the consequences of injuries on professional male football players' career and retirement period. The aim this study to investigate impact that players endure during their career, reasons for end post-career phase retirement.In a retrospective cross-sectional cohort study, retired German Bundesliga were investigated by standardised questionnaire analyse history sustained ending current health status suggestions future prevention strategies.Most 116 analysed (n = 73...
Abstract Background Implant-associated infections depict a major challenge in orthopedics and trauma surgery putting high burden on the patients health care systems, strongly requiring improvement of infection prevention clinical outcomes. One strategy includes usage antimicrobial-coated implants. We evaluated outcomes after surgical treatment using gentamicin-coated nail (i) success terms bone consolidation, (ii) absence infection, (iii) patient-reported quality life patient cohort with...
Introduction: Pediatric polytrauma is a complex condition with unique characteristics and requirements for early clinical care. This study aimed to analyze the injury patterns, care, outcomes of pediatric patients in Level I trauma center. The focus was on evaluation between different age groups recognition injuries as potential factors influencing outcomes. Methods: A prospective cohort model (ISS ≥ 16) conducted over 13-year period, stratified by (Group A: 0–5 years; Group B: 6–10 C: 11–15...
Abstract Unicompartimental and total knee arthroplasty is one of the most successful performed operations worldwide. In last years number primary increased constantly. The aim this study to analyze rising numbers see how it used in Germany. retrospective data, provided by Federal Statistical Office Germany from 2008 2018 was analyzed, using operation codes German procedure classification system characteristics like age, sex type prosthesis. We found a slight increase unicompartimental over...
The purpose of this study was to characterize the patterns a large series tibial plateau fractures with use fracture mapping, regard different types using OTA/AO and Schatzker classification. Patients intra-articular were evaluated, classification on CT scans. For axial slice that completely displayed joint plane first identified, then matched template congruently, lines identified reproduced. In addition epidemiological data (age gender), trauma mechanism (high-energy, low-energy,...
Abstract Introduction Heading is an integral part of football and frequent media reports previous studies about potential danger heading head trauma in fuelled discussions. Epidemiological data video analyses regarding headings situation associated injuries are still missing male adult professional football. Methods In a prospective cohort study the fourth German league, 100 official matches 2015–2016 season were assessed by analysis standardized protocol. situations concomitant...
Background and Objectives: Abdominal trauma among severely injured patients with an injury severity score (ISS) of 16 above can lead to potentially life-threatening injuries that might need immediate surgical intervention. Traumatic the diaphragm (TID) are a challenging condition often accompanied by other in thoracoabdominal region. Materials Methods: We retrospectively analyzed occurrence clinical course TID treated at our center between 2008 2019 compared them groups without TID. Results:...
Zusammenfassung Tscherne definierte erstmals 1966 das „Polytrauma“ als „mehrere gleichzeitig erlittene Verletzungen verschiedener Körperregionen, wobei mindestens eine Verletzung oder die Kombination dieser lebensbedrohlich ist“. Diese Definition stellt wesentliche pathophysiologische Paradigma des Polytraumas, durch mehrerer Organsysteme resultierende Lebensgefahr, heraus. Die Behandlung polytraumatisierter Patienten beginnt am Unfallort. Dort können zielgerichtete Maßnahmen Rettungsteams...
Background Various rescue techniques are used for the prehospital transport of trauma patients. This study compares different in terms immobilization cervical spine and time. Methods A wireless motion capture system (Xsens Technologies, Enschede, The Netherlands) was to record three-dimensional space time a standardized environment. Immobilization performed by applying through teams trained paramedics physicians. All tests were on set course, starting with test person lying floor ending an...
Introduction: Traumatic cervical artery dissections are associated with high mortality and morbidity in severely injured patients. After finding even higher incidences than reported before, we decided to incorporate a dedicated head-and-neck computed tomography angiogram (CT-A) our imaging routine for patients who have been obviously or, according trauma mechanism, suspected be injured. Materials Methods: A total of 134 consecutive an ISS ≥ 16 admitted level I center during 18 month period...
Background: Abdominal trauma, leading to intra-abdominal bleeding, is a life-threatening condition that might need emergency surgical intervention. Sonography and Computed Tomography (CT) are most commonly used detect free fluid. This study investigates the accuracy of CT distinguish between ascites hemorrhage. Methods: Ascites were collected during clinical routine. Three serial dilutions, mixing with whole blood samples patient two group identical donors, prepared. Laboratory-chemical...
Introduction: Severely injured elderly patients have a poorer prognosis and higher mortality rates after severe trauma compared with younger patients. The aim of this study was to correlate the influence pre-existing oral anticoagulation (OAC) antiplatelet drugs (PAI) on outcome severely Methods: Using prospective cohort model over an 11-year period, (≥65 years ISS ≥ 16) were divided into two groups (no anticoagulation/platelet inhibitors: nAP OAC/PAI). A comparison conducted regarding...
Background and Objectives: The standard diagnostic procedure for a patient with suspected polytrauma injury is computed tomography (CT). In individual cases, however, extended acute imaging using magnetic resonance (MRI) can provide valuable therapy-relevant information. aim of our cohort study was to find such cases describe their characteristics in order be able give possible recommendations MRI application trauma situations. Materials Methods: the period from 2015–2019, an evaluation...
Purpose: To evaluate magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings in children and adolescents suffering from knee pain without traumatic or physical overload history to identify potential anatomic risk factors. Material Methods: A total of 507 MRIs 6- 20-year-old patients (251 males; 256 females) were evaluated with regard detectable pathologies the knee. The results compared a control group (n = 73; 34 39 females). binary logistic regression model t-tests for paired unpaired samples used...
The timely and accurate identification of causative agents is crucial for effectively managing fracture-related infections (FRIs). Among various diagnostic methods, the “time to positivity” (TTP) cultures has emerged as a valuable predictive factor in infectious diseases. While sonication implants inoculation blood culture bottles with fluid have enhanced sensitivity, data on TTP this microbiological technique remain limited. Therefore, patients ICM criteria confirmed FRI treated at our...
Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings have emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of cancer patients. These involve healthcare professionals from different disciplines working together to develop holistic, patient-centered treatment. Although MDT are well established in oncology, they play minor role other diseases. Recent evidence suggests that implementation can improve patient outcomes musculoskeletal infections. The aim this retrospective, observational study was present...
