3D printing in fracture treatment : Current practice and best practice consensus
Unfallchirurg. 2022 May;125(5):342-350. doi: 10.1007/s00113-022-01158-z. Epub 2022 May 9.ABSTRACTThe use of 3D printing in orthopedic trauma is supported by clinical evidence. Existing computed tomography (CT) data are exploited for better stereotactic identification of morphological features of the fracture and enhanced surgical planning. Due to complex logistic, technical and resource constraints, deployment of 3D printing is not straightforward from the hospital management perspective. As a result not all trauma surgeons are able to confidently integrate 3D printing into the daily practice. We carried out an expert pane...

Shaft fractures of the lower limb in adolescents
Unfallchirurg. 2022 May 6. doi: 10.1007/s00113-022-01184-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTShaft fractures of the lower extremities are rare during adolescence. Conservative treatment is no longer used for the upper leg and the significance is declining for the lower leg, as only minor axis deviations and malrotations of the shaft are acceptable and conservative therapy is associated with severe impairments in the daily routine; however, conservative treatment is still an option for femoral fractures in children < 3 years of age and for stable fractures of the lower leg. Various osteosynthesis procedures can be used depe...

Successful in-hospital clamshell thoracotomy in a young male patient with polytrauma (ISS  57) : A case report
Unfallchirurg. 2022 May 2. doi: 10.1007/s00113-022-01183-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLife-threatened injured patients who suffer a cardiovascular arrest after a trauma are still enormously challenging for both the paramedics and the trauma team in the clinic. This case illustrates the treatment of a 16-year-old boy who suffered a blunt abdominal trauma with a traumatic cardiac arrest followed by an open resuscitation after clamshell thoracotomy. Subsequently, the treatment after damage control is discussed regarding the current literature and recommendations for treatment.PMID:35499763 | DOI:10.1007/s00113-022-01183-y...

Hand hygiene in the operating room (OR)-(not) an issue?
DISCUSSION: Given that the compliance rate for surgical hand disinfection is so high, the assumption was that the compliance for routine hand hygiene within the OR would be similar. Within the framework of the feedback talks, it became apparent that the employees were unaware that the "5 moments for hand hygiene" also apply within the OR. The employees were also unaware of what exactly the five indications were.PMID:35499764 | DOI:10.1007/s00113-022-01181-0 (Source: Der Unfallchirurg)
