Introduction: The purpose of the study was to explore the functional outcome after osteosynthesis with dynamic hip screw (DHS) for adults up to 69 years, and identify potential predictive indicators of either positive impact on quality of life or increase the incidence of complications.
Materials And Methods: Out of 85 patients 53 could be contacted, 36 were followed up clinically and radiologically, 17 patients could be interviewed by phone. All fractures have been treated by osteosynthesis with DHS and one additional anti-rotation screw.

Article Synopsis
- Osteoporotic fractures of the pelvis (OFP) are becoming a significant concern in orthopedics, prompting the need for a new, simpler, and more reliable classification system (CS) that uses both CT and MRI, as existing systems have limited reliability.
- A consensus among trauma and orthopedic experts in German-speaking countries led to the creation of the new OF-Pelvis CS over five years, which was validated by having experienced surgeons categorize 25 anonymized cases using imaging scans.
- The new classification has five subgroups indicating increasing instability and three modifiers that can be used alone or in combination; the inter-rater reliability scores are notably high, showing strong agreement among both the developers and the
Purpose: The aim of this study was to give a systematic overview over the rate and location of concomitant injuries, the probability of suffering from neurological deficits, and to give evidence of the timing of surgery in severely injured patients with unstable thoracic vertebral body fractures.
Methods: This review is based on articles retrieved by a systematic search in the PubMed and Web of Science database for publications up to November 2020 dealing with unstable fractures of the mid-thoracic spine.
Results: Altogether, 1109 articles were retrieved from the literature search.
Purpose: The aim of this review is to systematically screen the literature for clinical and biomechanical studies dealing with posterior stabilization of acute traumatic mid-thoracic vertebral fractures in patients with normal bone quality.
Methods: This review is based on articles retrieved by a systematic search in the PubMed and Web of Science database for publications up to December 2018 dealing with the posterior stabilization of fractures of the mid-thoracic spine.
Results: Altogether, 1012 articles were retrieved from the literature search.
Purpose: On a global scale the main focus of traumatological therapy lies in the treatment of unintentional injuries or victims of violence. People of all ages and through all economic groups can be affected. Due to demographic change in Western industrial countries, however, this focus increasingly shifts towards fragility fractures.
