Observational epidemiological studies indicate a higher fracture incidence in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients compared to the general population. However, the causal relationship between RA and fracture risk, particularly traumatic and osteoporotic fractures, is not well established. We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causal relationship between RA and fracture risk.

As the operative management of acute, chest wall, skeletal injury escalates throughout the world, it has become commonplace for patients with posttraumatic conditions to present with clinical reconstructive challenges as well. In addition, it is becoming clear that rib nonunions are not rare, likely more than 5% of rib fractures. No subspecialty is better equipped to address such painful conditions than orthopaedic surgery.

CPR related injuries of the chest wall: direct and indirect fractures.

Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg

January 2025

Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Germany.

Background: Rib and sternum fractures are common injuries associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The fracture mechanism is either direct by application of force on sternum and anterior ribs or indirect by bending through compression of the thorax. The aim of this study was to determine morphologies of rib fractures after CPR and to reevaluate prior findings on fracture localisation, type and degree of dislocation.
