Detailed analyses of epidemiological data on fractures are an impor - tant resource for persons and institutions providing health care services, as they yield information the effects current treatment strategies need preventive measures. The epidemiology in Germany, however, is unknown. goal this study to determine nationwide fracture burden from 2009 through 2019, a function anatomical site, age, sex.Annual compilations ICD-10 diagnosis codes years 2009-2019 were made available us by German...
Abstract Background Future projections for both TKA and THA in the United States other countries forecast a further increase of already high numbers joint replacements. The consensus is that industrialized countries, this driven by demographic changes with more elderly people being less willing to accept activity limitations. Unlike States, Germany many face population decline low fertility rates, longer life expectancy, immigration rates cannot compensate aging. Many developing are likely...
The first objective was to investigate new bone formation in a critical-size metaphyseal defect the femur of ovariectomized rats filled with strontium modified calcium phosphate cement (SrCPC) compared (CPC) and empty defects. Second, detection release from materials as well collagen mass distribution fracture should be targeted by time flight secondary ion spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). 45 female Sprague-Dawley were randomly assigned three different treatment groups: (1) SrCPC (n = 15), (2) CPC...
Abstract Antibiotic‐loaded bone cement (ALBC) is broadly used to treat orthopaedic infections based on the rationale that high‐dose local delivery essential eradicate biofilm‐associated bacteria. However, ALBC formulations are empirically drug susceptibility from routine laboratory testing, which known have limited clinical relevance for biofilms. There also dosing concerns with nonstandardized, surgeon‐directed, hand‐mixed formulations, unknown release kinetics. On basis of our knowledge in...
Aims We aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of fracture-related infection (FRI) on patients’ physical health and psychological wellbeing. For this purpose, quality life after successful surgical treatment FRIs long bones was assessed. Methods A total 37 patients treated between November 2009 March 2019, with achieved eradication stable bone consolidation FRI, were included. Quality evaluated EuroQol five-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) German Short-Form 36 (SF-36) outcome instruments as...
Background: Spondylodiscitis can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Understanding its up-to-date epidemiological characteristics trends is important improve patient care. Methods: This study analyzed in the incidence rate of spondylodiscitis cases Germany between 2010 2020, as well pathogens, in-hospital mortality rate, length hospital stay. Data were obtained from Federal Statistical Office Institute for Hospital Remuneration System database. The ICD-10 codes “M46.2-”, “M46.3-”...
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...
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to present the nationwide rates hospitalized patients with vertebral fractures over one decade and comprehensively analyze treatment characteristics direct costs incurred in 2019. Therefore, trends incidence rate were quantified based on annual ICD-10 diagnosis codes from all German medical facilities between 2009 2019, provided by Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). Codes "S12.0-2; S22.0-; S32.0-, S32.1-2" evaluated. relative change through 2019...
Abstract Proximal femoral fractures are a serious complication, especially for elderly patients. Detailed epidemiological analyzes provide valuable resource stakeholders in the health care system order to foresee future development possibly influenceable by adaption of therapeutic procedures and prevention strategies. This work aimed at answering following research questions: (1) What incidence rates proximal U.S. population? (2) is preferred treatment procedure these fractures? occurred...
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) demonstrates the most feared complication after total replacement (TJR). The current work analyzes demographic, comorbidity, and profiles of all patients who had in-hospital treatment due to PJI. Furthermore, it aims evaluate mortality with PJI analyze possible risk factors in terms secondary diagnosis, diagnostic procedures, complications.
