Implant-Derived Isolates Drive Strain-Specific Invasion Dynamics and Bioenergetic Alterations in Osteoblasts.

Implants are integral to modern orthopedic surgery. The outcomes are good, but infections remain a serious issue. (), along with , are predominant pathogens responsible for implant-associated infections, as conventional antibiotic treatments often fail due to biofilm formation or the pathogens' ability to invade cells and to persist intracellularly.

Proximal Femur Fractures: Evaluating the Necessity of On-Call Surgery.

The decision of the Joint Federal Committee on the treatment of hip fractures stipulates that proximal femur fractures must be treated within the first 24 h. This leads to organizational and personnel difficulties in day-to-day care. Therefore, we investigated the question at what times of day we operate to maintain this timeline and whether there is a difference in the outcome for the patients according to treatment hours.

Do we need standardized postoperative radiographs after locking plate fixation of distal radius fractures - A retrospective analysis of 664 patients.

Introduction: After surgical treatment of fractures of the distal radius, radiographs in 2 planes are routinely performed postoperatively as a standard procedure to verify anatomic reduction and implant positioning. However, the postoperative radiological examinations rarely has a consequence. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of treatment plan changes based on standardized postoperative radiographs.

Intensive Multiprofessional Rehabilitation Is Superior to Standard Orthogeriatric Care in Patients with Proximal Femur Fractures-A Matched Pair Study of 9580 Patients from the Registry for Geriatric Trauma (ATR-DGU).

Orthogeriatric treatment, which involves a collaborative approach between orthopedic surgeons and geriatricians, is generally considered to be superior to standard care following hip fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate additional effects of a geriatrician-led multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. In this matched paired observational cohort study, patients aged 70 years and older with a proximal femur fracture requiring surgery were included.

Health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) after revision arthroplasty following periprosthetic femoral fractures Vancouver B2 and B3 in geriatric trauma patients.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the outcome parameters of revision arthroplasties for periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF) with a particular attention to quality of life (QoL) and mobility.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective single-center study of PPFF with loose implants that underwent revision arthroplasty. Depending on individual patient characteristics, either an uncemented or cemented revision stem was chosen.
