The posterior wall fracture is the most frequent pattern of acetabular fractures. Many techniques fixation have been described in literature and involve plates, screws, or a combination both. This study aims to investigate clinical radiological outcomes spring plates treatment comminuted (2) Methods: A retrospective multicenter (four level I trauma centers) observational was performed. Patients with treated plate (DePuy Synthes, West Chester, PA) were included. Diagnosis made according Judet...
Abstract Purpose The optimal operative treatment for displaced acetabular fractures in elderly population is still object of debate. Acute fix and replace procedure, the so called “combined hip procedure” (CHP), was introduced because poor results open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) alone. aim study to compare clinical outcomes CHP ORIF alone patients. Methods This largest multicentric retrospective analytical study, with a case–control design on issue. Hospital records notes were...
Osteolytic metastases around the acetabulum are frequent in tumour patients, and may cause intense drug-resistant pain of hip. These lesions also structural weakening pelvis, limping, poor quality life. Percutaneous acetabuloplasty is a mini-invasive procedure for management metastatic due to carcinoma performed patients who cannot tolerate major surgery, or towards whom radiotherapy had already proved ineffective.We report retrospective study 25 such (30 acetabuli) were evaluated before...
<p><strong>Aim <br /></strong>To evaluate the case series of patients operated with percutaneous fixation by navigation system based on 3D fluoroscopic images, to assess precision a surgical implant and functional outcome patients.<br /><strong>Methods /></strong>A retrospective study pelvic ring fractures in 2-year period included those treated use O-Arm 2 combination Stealth Station 8....
Elbow stiffness is defined as any loss of movement that greater than 30° in extension and less 120° flexion. Causes elbow can be classified traumatic or atraumatic congenital acquired. Any alteration affecting the stability elements lead to a reduction arc movement. The classification based on specific structures involved (Kay's classification), anatomical location (Morrey's degree severity rigidity (Vidal's classification). Diagnosis result combination medical history, physical examination...
Abstract Purpose Among the functional impairments associated with pelvic ring injuries (PRI), sexual dysfunction (SD) is a common clinical issue. The aim of this study to investigate correlations between traumatic PRI, genitourinary, and dysfunctions, for proper multidisciplinary treatment. Methods We performed an observational, multicentric study, from January 2020 2022. conducted follow-up after surgery at three, six, 12, 24 months by measuring Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI),...
Abstract Background There is no evidence in the current literature about best treatment option sacral fracture with or without neurological impairment. Materials and methods The Italian Pelvic Trauma Association (A.I.P.) decided to organize a consensus define for traumatic insufficiency fractures according Results Consensus has been reached following statements: When complete examination cannot be performed, pelvic X-rays, CT scan, hip pelvis MRI, lumbosacral lower extremities evoked...
<p><strong>Aim <br /></strong>Total knee arthroplasty represents a procedure that is successfully performed to relieve functional limitation and pain in advanced stages of osteoarthritis. In the next 20 years number these procedures will be increased about four times. Patient specific instrumentation (PSI) has been introduced past years. The aim this study was evaluate whether SUI are more useful clinical, organizational economic...
The purpose of the study is to evaluate use suprapectineal quadrilateral surface (QLS) plates associated with anterior intrapelvic approach (AIP) acetabulum in surgical treatment acetabular fractures involvement.We did a retrospective patients surgically treated QLS and AIP for involvement column, between February 2018 2020, our Hospital. following data were recorded: mechanism injury, pattern fracture, presence other injuries, time before performing surgery, approach, position on operating...
Although proximal and diaphyseal humerus fractures are frequent, the optimal management remains controversial. Antegrade nailing prevents further damage to soft tissues vascularization, but it has been associated with postoperative shoulder pain dysfunction. During latest years a straight nail design was developed minimize these problems.A total of 243 patients who had undergone surgery for antegrade intramedullary humeral between January 2013 July 2018 in A. Gemelli Trauma Center were...
The purpose of the study is to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes in those patients with femoral head fracture, treated open reduction internal fixation through Gibson approach Ganz flip trochanter osteotomy. treatment Pipkin fractures very challenging, especially for small trauma centers, because unusual fracture patterns high-level surgical skills required.Between 2017 2020, nine cases came Emergency Department at Trauma Center our Hospital Rome. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis...
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stands as a prevalent global health concern, and mineral bone are among the most impactful consequences. A severe complication arising from is occurrence of fragility fractures, which disproportionately affect individuals with CKD compared to general population. The prevalence these fractures impacts both survival rates quality life. aims this study analyzing identifying (i) patient-related risk factors (ii) CKD-related contribute development...
Foot metastasis are rare and often overlooked due to non-specifical symptoms. This leads misdiagnosis delaying the right diagnosis. Metastatic disease of foot is rare. pain swelling may be presenting symptom an occult malignancy. If metastatic not kept in differential diagnosis pain, treatment will delayed. The purpose this study was analyze articles cases provide a more accurate incidence symptomatic acrometastasis as well review clinical course outcomes. Studies were searched on...

Postoperative drainage after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an established routine procedure for orthopedic surgeries, and considered a useful practice in postoperative, but the use of controversial. Our study aims to clarify this aspect prosthetic surgery. A systematic review literature was performed electronic databases investigate risks benefits wound arthroplasty: 30 articles were included our eligibility.
