Abstract Surgical site infection (SSI) following osteosynthesis of trochanteric or subtrochanteric fractures is a rare but serious complication with incidence rate ranging from 1 to 3%. SSIs are associated higher mortality and increased length hospital stay resulting in healthcare costs loss life quality. In this retrospective analysis all patients SSI at the Department Trauma Surgery were identified. We included surgical procedures performed 1992 2018, using data electronic health records...
In elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, preoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) values might be elevated due to active infections. Although there are limited data on CRP as a predictor of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), out concern, this could lead delayed surgery. Therefore, we aim investigate whether serum-CRP levels justify surgery for fractures. A retrospective analysis was performed the records undergoing arthroplasty who were found have an level 5 mg/dL or more...
This study examined the effect of COVID-19 pandemic and resulting decrease in incidence various categories injuries, with main focus on fractures mild traumatic brain injuries a paediatric population.This retrospective cohort evaluated all children from 0 to 18 years age presenting an injury at level 1 trauma centre University Clinic Orthopaedics Trauma Surgery Vienna during lockdown 16 March 29 May 2020 compared records over same timeframe 2015 2019.In total, 14,707 patients were included....
This study describes the outcome of supracondylar humerus fractures in children using crossed K-wires after closed or open reduction with medial, lateral bilateral approach. Patients treated between January 2000 and December 2019 were classified according to Von Laer classification, complications Sink classification clinical outcomes modified Flynn criteria. In total, 364 patients a mean age 5.23 ± 2.45 years included. The majority type IV (156; 42.9%) 94 (60.3%) needed an for which medial...
The most common cause leading to supracondylar humerus fractures in children is falling onto an outstretched arm. A correlation between fall height and fracture severity may be assumed but has not yet been described. aim of this study was show that increases with height. Furthermore, the outcome examined. total 971 January 2000 December 2019 were included study. correlations assessed. Increasing correlates (p < 0.001; r = 0.24). incidence complications a present accordingly 0.28). 30 (3.1%)...
The aim of this retrospective study was to present an epidemiological overview paediatric nonelectric-scooter-related injuries, focusing on changes in injury mechanism and frequency. A retrospective, descriptive data analysis at a Level I trauma centre, including patients aged from 0 18 years injured by riding nonelectric scooters, performed. observation period ranged January 2015 December 2022. total population consisted 983 (mean age: 7.9 ± 4.0 years) children adolescents, with most being...
As the awareness towards gender-specific therapies continues to increase among all fields of medicine, so does need for gender-sensitive evaluations established surgical techniques. With a higher likelihood anterior cruciate ligament injury in women, critical assessment functional outcome reconstruction regarding patient sex is indispensable. Almost pre-existing literature on this subject based reconstructions carried out before 2008, when 'all-inside' techniques did not exist. This...

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties a latest generation all‐suture anchor repair device (ASARD) for meniscal with that PEEK‐cage (PCARD) in an experimental setting using cadaveric menisci. Methods Twenty‐six menisci were obtained from knees fresh body donors. Artificially created lesions treated randomly, single stitch either ASARD or PCARD. Cyclic testing, utilising universal material testing machine and following established protocol,...
