Article Synopsis
- Survivors of major trauma face various challenges affecting their physical, mental, and social well-being, ultimately impacting their quality of life, which the study investigates within the German healthcare system.
- The research involved interviews with nine trauma survivors, highlighting key issues like poor communication between healthcare providers and the need for dedicated support contacts during recovery.
- Findings emphasize the importance of social support from networks, including employers, as crucial for emotional healing and successful reintegration into work and life, with mobility playing a key role in enhancing overall quality of life.
Background: Due to continuous improvements in treatment, more and more severely and seriously injured patients are surviving. The complexity of the injury patterns of these patients means that they are difficult to map in routine data.
Aim Of The Work: The aim of the data exploration was to identify ICD 10 diagnoses that show an association with an injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 16 and could therefore be used to operationalize severely injured patients in routine data.
Background: Impaired posttraumatic bone healing is a relevant complication of fractures. Usually, the standard treatment is surgical revision. For about 30 years extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has emerged as an alternative treatment option with similar consolidation rates but less complications.

In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the outcome data of patients receiving synchronous or staged coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
Methods: Between 2011 and 2016, 3173 patients underwent CABG surgery in our institution, of whom 323 received CABG and CEA either as synchronous (N = 307) or as staged (N = 16) procedures.
