Hemoglobin level, degree of mobilization, and pneumonia are associated with the development of postoperative delirium in cemented hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to identify independent prognostic factors for developing a postoperative delirium (POD) in patients suffering from a proximal femoral neck fracture and treated by implantation of a hemiprosthesis.

Methods: A retrospective study, including patients with hip hemiarthroplasty due to a femoral neck fracture between 2011 and 2020 was performed. Demographic data, preexisting conditions, intra-/postoperative complications, mobilization and laboratory results were extracted from the patients' charts.

Severe intraoperative vascular bleeding as main complication of acetabular fractures treated with plate osteosynthesis via the modified Stoppa approach.

Acetabular fractures are challenging fractures and finding the best supportive treatment is complex. Many operative treatment options exist - one of them is the plate osteosynthesis via the modified Stoppa approach gaining popularity over the last decades. The purpose of this study is to give an overview of this surgical techniques and its main complications.

[Costs-revenue deficit of outpatient treatment of minor injuries in the emergency department].

Background: Many patients with minor injuries hastily present in the emergency department and tie up resources and personnel there.

Objective: To establish the cost-revenue relationship of outpatient care of minor injuries in the traumatology emergency department.

Material And Methods: The calculation was based on the uniformly billed emergency flat rates of the uniform assessment standard (EBM).

Acetabular fractures treatment needs in the elderly and nonagenarians.

Different treatment options for acetabular fractures in the elderly and nonagenarians exist; a consistent guideline has not been established, yet. The purpose of this study is to give an overview of how those fractures can be handled and compares two different surgical treatment methods. A total of 89 patients ≥ 18 years between 2016 and 2021 with acetabular fractures in our department received a surgical intervention with plate fixation via the Stoppa approach or a total hip arthroplasty with a Burch-Schneider ring and integrated cup.

Impact of 2 different posterior screw fixation techniques on primary stability in a cervical translational injury model: A biomechanical evaluation.

Background: In case of injuries to the subaxial cervical spine, especially in osteoporotic bone, the question of the most stable operative technique arises. There are several techniques of screw fixation available regarding dorsal stabilization. This study investigates 2 techniques (lateral mass screws (LMS) vs cervical pedicle screws (CPS)) in the subaxial cervical spine regarding primary stability in a biomechanical testing using a translational injury model.
