Traumatic Injuries in Pediatric Surgery in the Medical-epidemiological-economic Aspect.

Background: The aim of this study was to present the medical, epidemiological and economic aspects of traumatic injuries in children and adolescents. The literature on the subject is scarce.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 1,138 children treated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Stefan Żeromski Specialized Hospital in Kraków between 2012 and 2016 on account of head, abdominal and pelvic, chest, testicular and musculoskeletal injuries.

Arthroscopic verification of objectivity of the orthopaedic examination and magnetic resonance imaging in intra-articular knee injury. Retrospective study.

Introduction: Arthroscopy of the knee joint is regarded as the most objective diagnostic method in intra-articular knee joint lesions.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the objectivity and diagnostic value of orthopaedic examination (OE) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in reference to the arthroscopic result.

Material And Methods: In a group of 113 patients treated by arthroscopic surgery for post-traumatic knee pathology between 2008 and 2010 in our department, accuracy of clinical and MRI findings that preceded surgery were studied retrospectively using a statistical method.

Clinical and cost effectiveness-related aspects of retransfusion in total hip and knee arthroplasty.

Background: An increasing demand for blood products forces the rationalisation of management and conservation of blood. The aim of the study is to evaluate the possibility of retransfusion of blood conservation and the cost-effectiveness of this procedure when employed in Total Hip Replacement and Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Material And Methods: This prospective cohort study involved two groups of patients.

[Treatment of open femur fracture with critical bone loss of femoral shaft in politrauma patient--case report].

Unlabelled: The authors describe the case of a 21 year old patient who suffered an politrauma injury in a traffic accident (motorcyclist).

Objectives: Presentation of possiblities of treatment femur bone fracture with critical bone loss using intramedullary nail.

Methods: Patients's Injury included: fractures of the femur, temporal bone, and ulna.

[Possibilities of orthopaedic treatment of patients with renal failure and its meaning in the continuation of haemodialysis and quality of life improvement].

Good cooperation between the fields of orthopaedic surgery and nephrology creates a possibility of multidirectional surgical treatment of the patients with terminal renal failure despite massive general burden and existing risk. Taking a very difficult decision concerning the multidirectional surgical treatment of these patients may to a very great extent improve their locomotor functions and their life comfort. An example of such a situation is the described case of elbow replacement, vascular surgery procedure, total hip replacement and carpal tunnel release surgery.
