[Infected pseudarthrosis of the symphysis with persisting instability : Revision osteosynthesis with tantalum cage and silver ionized ITS plate after peri-implant infection with MRSE after osteosynthetic stabilization of a type C pelvic injury].

Overall symptomatic pseudathrosis after pelvic ring fracture is rare. A pseudarthrosis of the dorsal pelvic ring often leads to persisting pain due to instability and needs a consequent treatment strategy. Often a bacterial infection can be found in persisting pseudarthrosis notably in the anterior pelvic ring region.

Treatment options in non-unions of the pelvis: A retrospective analysis of a single center experience over 12 years.

Background: Non-unions and chronic instability of the pelvis remain rare complications after complex high velocity injuries with vertical and rotational instability of the pelvis. Treatment options are insufficiently supported by data evidence due to the rareness of this condition.

Patients And Methods: we conducted a single center, retrospective study of all non-unions and pelvic instabilities between 1.

Does auxiliary cerclage wiring provide intrinsic stability in cephalomedullary nailing of trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures?

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess functional and radiological results following cephalomedullary nailing with and without use of auxiliary cable cerclages in a large series of trochanteric and subtrochanteric femoral fractures.

Methods: In a retrospective study of prospectively collected data between January 2014 and March 2019, a total of 260 consecutive patients (155 women and 105 men) with the diagnosis of AO/OTA A1 to A3 fractures were included. The mean age of patients was 76.

[Prediction of Return to Work following Multiple Trauma in Patients with ISS of at least 25].

Purpose: Survival rates after severe multiple trauma have continually increased in the last decades. Return to work (RTW) of persons affected by severe multiple trauma is important to assure their quality of life and social participation. Therefore, knowledge about aspects associated with RTW is essential for acute and rehabilitative care and treatment.
