Background: Various operative techniques are used for treating recurrent anterior shoulder instability, and good mid-term results have been reported. The purpose of this study was to compare stability after treatment with the 2 commonly performed procedures, arthroscopic Bankart soft-tissue repair open coracoid transfer according Latarjet. Methods: A comparative, retrospective case-cohort analysis 360 patients (364 shoulders) who had primary instability between 1998 2007 performed. minimum...
Abstract Background Spinal fusion is a well-established procedure in the treatment of degenerative spinal diseases. Previous research shows that use this operative has been growing recent decades industrialized countries and become one most cost-intensive surgical procedures. It seems some such as Germany—with its large, industrialized, European population—this increase mainly driven by demographic changes with low fertility rates, increasing life expectancy, an aging population. Based on...
Fractures of the pelvic ring including disruption posterior elements in high-energy trauma have both high morbidity and mortality rates. For some injury pattern part initial resuscitation includes either external fixation or plate to close decrease blood loss. In certain situations – especially when associated with abdominal need perform laparotomies techniques may put patient at risk pintract deep infections. We describe an operative approach percutaneously stabilize using spinal implants...
Odontoid fractures account for approximately 20% of all the cervical spine. They represent most common spine injury patients older than 70 years, majority being type II (65-74%), which are considered to be relatively unstable. The management these is controversial. Possible treatment options either conservative or surgical. Surgical procedures include anterior screw fixation odontoid posterior C1/C2 fusion. aim this study was compare outcome three modalities in elderly patients. Between June...
Abstract Purpose Vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) has a high mortality and leads to chronic pain functional disability. Surgical treatment is often necessary. To date, little known about the consequences of surgery on patient outcome. The aim this study was determine quality life (QoL) rates surgically treated VO patients for period 2 years. Methods Patients with undergoing surgical in tertiary referral hospital from 2008 2015 were included prospectively. Data collected before ( T 0) as well 1...
Review article.A review of literature on the treatment pyogenic spondylodiscitis in geriatric patients was performed with aim to give an overview about these special and a recommendation necessary diagnostics as well conservative operative options.A systematic computerized search done by working group German Society for Orthopedics Trauma Surgery.Spondylodiscitis has increasing incidence age peak at 75 years or older. The 1-year mortality without appropriate is 15 20% extremely high....
Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are frequent, represent a great health care problem, and have significant impact on insurance costs. Reconstruction options using hip arthroplasty include unipolar or bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA), total (THA). The purpose of this review is to discuss indications, limitations, pitfalls each these techniques.The Pubmed database was searched for all articles femoral fracture reconstruction presented search terms "femoral fracture", "unipolar...
Introduction . Sternal fractures often occur together with serious and life-threatening additional injuries. This retrospective study was designed to assess concomitant injuries develop a correlation between fracture location the severity of injury. Methods. All patients () diagnosed sternum by means CT scan were analysed respect accident circumstances, morphology topography, associated injuries, outcome. Results Isolated sternal occurred in 9%. In all other admissions, diagnosed: mainly rip...
Background: Adequate assessment of spinal instability using the neoplastic score (SINS) frequently guides surgical therapy in epidural osseous metastases and subsequently influences neurological outcome. However, how to surgically manage ‘impending instability’ at SINS 7–12 most appropriately remains uncertain. This study aimed evaluate necessity instrumentation patients with regards Methods: We screened 683 treated our interdisciplinary spine center. The preoperative was assessed determine...
Abstract Introduction When needed operative treatment of sacral fractures is mostly performed with percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation. The advantage navigation in insertion pedicle screws already could be shown by former investigations. aim this investigation was now to analyze which influence placement guided has on duration surgery, radiation exposure and accuracy compared the technique fluoroscopy. Methods 68 Consecutive patients who have been treated were inclouded. Overall, 85...
A significant proportion of patients admitted to hospital with multiple traumas exhibit facial injuries. The aim this study is evaluate the incidence and cause injuries in severely injured examine role plastic maxillofacial surgeons treatment patient collective. total 67 patients, who were assigned our trauma room between January 2009 December 2010, enrolled present evaluated. majority male (82 %) a mean age 44 years. predominant mechanism injury was fall from lower levels (<5 m) occurred 25...
