Purpose: The objective was to analyze the treatment and complications of the patients after a major amputation of the upper and lower extremities. Risk factors and predictors of a prolonged hospital stay should be outlined.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of a national Level-1 Trauma center in Germany.

Background: In Germany, nosocomial infections and postoperative wound infections are a significant burden for the healthcare system and the patients affected. A postoperative wound infection is often accompanied by a massive deterioration in the quality of the treatment success of surgical measures in terms of patient stress, the functional results and the cost-effectiveness of a treatment for the service provider. The aim of this article is to present the current hygiene requirements for the perioperative setting in a comprehensible manner and to explain them to everyone involved in the surgical procedure.

- This study investigates how the deep medial collateral ligament (dMCL) and potential anteromedial (AM) reconstructions change in length during knee flexion to improve understanding of anteromedial rotatory instability (AMRI).
- Using cadaveric knee specimens, researchers measured length changes in the dMCL and simulated AM reconstructions by marking insertion points and testing with a kinematic rig at varying degrees of knee flexion.
- Results showed that the length changes of the dMCL parts differed during flexion, and the effectiveness of AM reconstructions was primarily affected by the femoral attachment position, suggesting that surgeons should prioritize positioning in the posterior aspect for better control of AMRI.
