Nasal colonization with antibiotic resistant bacteria represents both a risk factor for the colonized individual and their immediate contacts. Despite fact that healthcare workers such as orthopedic surgeons are at critical interface between environment an at-risk patient population, prevalence of within surgical profession remains unclear. This study offers snapshot rate nasal multi-resistant staphylococci including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) coagulase-negative (MRCoNS). We...
After septic failure of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and multiple revision operations resulting in impaired function, bone and/or soft-tissue damage a reconstruction with might be impossible. Salvage procedures to regain mobility quality life are an above-the-knee amputation or arthrodesis. The decision process for the patient surgeon is difficult data comparing arthrodesis versus terms function scarce. purpose this study was analyse compare specific complications, functional outcome (AKA)...
The choice of the appropriate implant continues to be critical for fixation unstable hip fractures. Therefore, goal this study was develop a numerical model investigate mechanical performance fracture osteosynthesis. We hypothesized that decreasing stability results in increasing load share and therefore higher stress within implant. also investigated relationship interfragmentary movement stability. A finite element developed cephalomedullary nail synthetic femur simulated pertrochanteric...
The aim of this study was to evaluate a standardized method treatment femoral nonunion the isthmal femur excluding non-united metaphyseal fractures.Between 2003 and 2010, 72 consecutive patients with shaft were operated using protocol in our trauma department followed up for successful union functional result.Osseous healing observed 71 (98%). Only one patient lacking bone following time period 24 months after first exchange nailing 5 second nailing. In 59 (82%), uneventful timely detected....
The ability to form biofilm on the surface of implanted devices is often considered most critical virulence factor possessed by Staphylococcus epidermidis in its role as an opportunistic pathogen orthopaedic device-related infection (ODRI). Despite this recognition, there a lack clinical evidence linking outcome with forming for S. ODRIs. We prospectively collected isolates cultured from patients presenting ODRI. Antibiotic resistance patterns and biofilm-forming was assessed. Patient...
Background/Objectives: The German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD) recorded almost 100,000 femoral neck fractures between 2013 and 2023. aim of this study was to identify survival rates risk factors for failure in individuals with fractures. Methods: A dataset 97,410 cases from the EPRD analyzed. We compared hemiarthroplasty (HA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) using machine learning algorithms (MLAs) statistical modeling approaches. For MLA, partitioned into training test sets, iterative feature...
Objective: The investigation hypothesized that in current anatomical precontoured plates, angular stability plays only a minor role for the efficacy of osteosynthesis at distal humerus. Methods: An AO C2.3 fracture model was simulated and performed with plates positioned parallel. System rigidity median fatigue limit were analyzed artificial bones cycles to failure cadaver specimens. Loads applied anterior–posterior direction (75° flexion) axial (5° flexion). Four composite bone groups...
Complete fracture healing is crucial for good patient outcomes. A major complication in the treatment of fractures non-union. The pathogenesis non-unions not always clear, although implant-associated infections play a significant role, especially after surgical open fractures. We aimed to evaluate value [18F]FDG PET suspected non-union retrospectively evaluated 35 consecutive patients seen between 2000 and 2015 with infection fractures, treated at level I trauma center. underwent either...
Six different mono-axial and poly-axial distal humeral plating systems with an anatomical plate design were compared. The aim of the biomechanical tests was to examine differences regarding system stiffness, median fatigue limit, failure mechanisms. Different configurations two double fixation by manufacturers for treatment complex fractures (AO/OTA type C2.3) biomechanically tested in a physiologically relevant setup. 180° Stryker configuration presented itself as highest being...
Septic arthritis caused by Streptococcus zooepidemicus is a rare event in humans. Of the four cases reported literature, only two patients had direct animal contact, and portal of entry remained unclear all cases. We report herein case patient who suffered purulent left shoulder S. zooepidemicus, successfully treated our department. A diagnostic FDG-PET-CT scan ruled out other foci infection, but detected hyperkeratotic plantar chronic soft tissue lesion foot, acquired paragliding accident...
