The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has led to a pandemic with millions of people affected. present study finds that risk-factors for severe COVID-19 disease courses, i.e. male sex, older age and sedentary life style are associated higher prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) serum levels in blood samples from unaffected subjects. In patients, PGE2 markedly elevated correlate positively severity. induces generation secretion infected lung epithelial cells by upregulating cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 reducing the...
The IlluminOss<sup>®</sup> system (IS) uses a light-curable polymer contained within an inflatable balloon catheter, forming patient customized intramedullary implant. A registry was established in Germany and Netherlands to prospectively collect technical clinical outcomes patients treated with IS for fractures of the phalange, metacarpal, radius, ulna, distal fibula, clavicle and/or olecranon. Humeral, femoral, tibial pelvic were included under compassionate use. Procedural...
Background: Elbow contracture is a recognized sequela of elbow injuries in children and adolescents, but previous studies operative treatment with formal capsular release have demonstrated unpredictable outcomes unfavorable results. Methods: Over period five years, fourteen adolescents mean age years who had posttraumatic stiffness the were managed according to prospective protocol. Eleven patients undergone three procedures before index operation. After intraoperative distraction an...
Treatment options in radial head fractures of Mason types III and IV range from open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) to resection with or without prosthetic replacement.In a prospective study, the radiographic clinical outcome was evaluated 23 patients (age median 51 years) complex 2 (1-4) years after ORIF using new device (FFS; Orthofix). 14 type-III concomitant olecranon 1 ulnar nerve lesion, 11 type-IV coronoid process were treated. lost follow-up. In 7 cases joint instability, an...
Forearm deformities in children and adolescents may be congenital or developmental, result from trauma; they cause pain decreased function of the wrist hand. In this study we treated seven patients with forearm (10 forearms) by callus distraction either radius ulna using a monolateral external fixator after osteotomy. Target length was achieved all cases. The results show significant improvement range motion forearm. All were satisfied appearance. There no complications such as pin tract...

Posttraumatic limitation of range motion in the elbow joint may be extraarticular, intraarticular or mixed origin. If conservative management fails to improve motion, arthroscopic arthrolysis, open arthrolysis and distraction arthroplasty are available as therapeutic options. Joint for gradual lengthening shortened ligaments capsules is used disimpact humero-ulnar articular surface. Under fixator controlled mobilization carried out. The use transarticular external fixation particularly...
Fractures of the tuberosity fifth metatarsal are common after foot twisting injuries, and operative treatment is recommended in cases displacement. The purpose this study was to report radiologic outcome clinical results displaced fractures treated using fine-threaded K-wires (FFS).In 3 years' time, a total 35 cases, patients had an initial fracture displacement more than 2 mm for isolated extraarticular involvement cuboidal joint surface 30%. After 15 months 60 (mean, 30.6), 32 these...
Our aim in this prospective study was to evaluate a minimally invasive technique for percutaneous arthrodesis of the small joints hand. Thirteen arthrodeses were undertaken 11 patients, eight women and three men. After removal articular cartilage, bony surfaces aligned predetermined position stabilised using screw system. The mean follow-up 38.6 months (36 56). Bony union achieved 12 cases (ten patients) between nine weeks after surgery. In one patient second operation required obtain...
