Objective: Polytrauma is a complex condition associated with poor outcomes and high mortality rates resulting from severe damage and complicated complications. This study sought to ascertain the incidence of chronic complications in polytrauma patients, as well as the early immune changes and risk factors.

Methods: A multicenter, prospective and observational cohort study was conducted at the emergency surgery or traumatic intensive care unit (TICU) of the Advanced Trauma Center from August 2020 to July 2023. A total of 2033 consecutive trauma patients were included in the study. In the first 1, 7, and 14 days after admission, flow cytometry and immunoassay kits were used to examine cytokine release and lymphocyte count.

Results: Trauma patients were reported 33.8% (687/2033) chronic complication rates, with monotrauma patients reported 8.1% (55/683) and polytrauma patients reported 59.4% (802/1350). And the four most frequent chronic complications in polytrauma patients were chronic musculoskeletal pain (30.4%), post-traumatic osteoarthritis (27.2%), chronic wound (21.6%), and chronic lung injury (14.1.%) .There were significant differences in lymphocyte ratios and cytokine levels, at 1, 7, and 14 day of admission between chronic complication groups (CCP) and not chronic complication groups (N-CCP) in polytrauma. Polytrauma patients with characteristics of higher ratio of Ts ratio (95% CI: 2.01-6.21), Treg (95% CI: 1.12-5.43) and level of IL-6 (95% CI: 1.22-4.43), TNF-α (95% CI: 1.05-3.83), IL-10 (95% CI: 2.01-6.84) were found to have a higher likelihood of experiencing a chronic complication. Conversely, a higher ratio of Tc (95% CI: 0.53-0.86), Th (95% CI: 0.64-0.95) and Th/Ts (95% CI: 0.21-0.64) were identified as independent protective factors against a chronic complication event.

Conclusion: Polytrauma patients exhibit a notable prevalence of chronic complications. Some immune and inflammatory indicators can be observed early in combination after injury to predict the risk of chronic complications after polytrauma.

Introduction: The treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS) has seen significant advancements, particularly with the introduction of magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR). However, a discrepancy between reported and actual rod lengthening during treatment has raised concerns.

Hypothesis: This retrospective study aims to investigate the disparity between reported and actual lengthening of MCGR and to identify factors contributing to the failure of the lengthening process.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in trauma patient in France: a retrospective nationwide registry.

Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med

December 2024

Sorbonne University, GRC 29, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, DMU DREAM, Department of Anesthesiology and critical care, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris, France. Electronic address:

Background: Indications for Veno-venous (VV) or veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after trauma rely on poor evidence. The main aims were to describe the population of trauma patients requiring either VV or VA ECMO and report their clinical management and outcomes.

Methods: An observational multicentre retrospective study was conducted in 17 Level 1 trauma centres in France between January 2010 and December 2021.

Is there an optimal perioperative risk assessment tool for older adult ankle fractures?

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

December 2024

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Center, 2160 S First Ave, Maywood, IL, 60153, USA.

Objective: To measure the predictive value of three perioperative risk assessment tools (National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-NSQIP, Modified 5-factor Frailty Index-mFI-5, and Score for Trauma Triage in Geriatric and Middle Aged-STTGMA) in predicting postoperative complications in older adult ankle fractures.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of surgically treated isolated older adult ankle fractures at an academic center between 2007 and 2022. Exclusion criteria included age < 55 years, presence of pathologic fractures, and having multiple orthopaedic injuries.
