The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical results and the complication rates of a new generation of two intramedullary fixation devices: Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation® (PFNA) and Gamma3®. We conducted a prospective randomised multicentre trial of 61 patients who underwent a PFNA fixation treatment (31 patients) or a Gamma3 nail (30 patients). We documented the fixation failure complications...
Tube thoracostomy is a common procedure used to treat traumatic chest injuries. Although the mechanism of injury traditionally does not alter chest tube management, complication rates may vary depending on the severity of injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors associated with chest tube complications (CTCs) following thoracic trauma.A retrospective chart...
This study from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR) compares cemented (Thompson ® , Exeter Trauma Stem (ETS) ® ) and uncemented (Austin-Moore ® ) monoblock hemiarthroplasties (n=1116 and 616, respectively) with modular ones (n=18,659).Austin-Moore ® prostheses lead to more re-operations (6.7%) compared to modular implants (3.5%) and Thompson ® /ETS...
Drilling is an integral part of almost all boney operations. Various anatomical structures coursing close to the bone are at risk if the drill bit projects beyond the far cortex. Aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the depth to which surgeons over drill beyond the far cortex.During an AO course 153 (41 females, 112 males) surgeons and physicians were invited to participate in this study...
Trauma is a major cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality, yet knowledge of fluid resuscitation is limited. Our objectives were to determine current practises in resuscitation volume (RV) administered to paediatric non-haemorrhagic (NH) blunt trauma patients and to identify fluid related complications.We examined data from 139 trauma patients 1–17years of age with an injury severity score ≥12...
