Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Post-traumatic osteomyelitis (PTOM) is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication of trauma. The aim of our study was to describe the demographics, treatment strategies and long-term outcomes of patients presenting with post-traumatic osteomyelitis (PTOM).Patients and Methods: All consecutive patients presenting to a level 1 Trauma centre with a confirmed diagnosis of PTOM of the tibia or femur were retrospectively identified, with a minimum follow-up of five years. Patients younger than 18 years old and patients presenting without a history of trauma were excluded from further analysis. Treatment was individualised according to the patient needs and the preferences of the operating surgeon. Outcomes were assessed according pain levels and return to function. Limb function was assessed according to the Lower Extremity Functional Index (LEFI), and quality of life with the EQ-5D-3L. Results: Seventy-one patients (59 male, average age 46 years) were included. PTOM involved the tibia in 45 patients and the femur in 26 patients. Eighteen patients originally sustained an open fracture. The average time from injury to presentation was 23.6 months (median 12 months; range 3-84 months). Patients were followed-up for an average of 86 months (80 months; 60-186 months) requiring on average 2.8 surgical procedures (2 procedures; 1-12 procedures), and 2.3 readmissions (2 readmissions; 0-10 readmissions). Treatment of PTOM included removal of metalwork, radical soft tissue and bone debridement as required and administration of local and/or systemic antibiotics. The reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) technique was utilised in 31 cases. Fifty-one patients received local antibiotics via a cement nail (24), spacer (16), beads (6), or a combination of techniques (5). Twenty patients required soft tissue coverage including a free-flap (10), pedicled flap (4), skin graft alone (1), or combination of techniques (5). Patients received, on average, 13.8 days (14 days; 0-47 days) of intravenous and 38.5 days (28 days; 0-365 days) of oral antibiotics.Forty-four per-cent of patients were left with a moderately/severely-impaired limb, with eight patients requiring an amputation (above knee in one patient). Recurrence of disease occurred in 16 patients. Both the use of RIA and delivery of local antibiotics were associated with significantly improved outcomes (p

Download or read book What Radiology Residents Need to Know written by Ronald L. Eisenberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to musculoskeletal radiology, specifically designed for the needs of first-year residents. On the first rotation in musculoskeletal imaging, radiology residents are asked to learn significant amounts of information at a fast and unrelenting pace. However, most current books are densely written and contain far more material than residents need to know. Moreover, the number, variety and quality of images is often limited. What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Musculoskeletal Radiology answers these needs by presenting the important information in bullet fashion, divided into convenient sub-units, such as "clinical information," "imaging findings," and "management." In most cases, an individual pathological condition can be presented in one page or less. In addition, it contains tips on approaching and interpreting radiographs, MRI and CT based on decades of practical experience and teaching residents at the work station. With liberal use of illustrations in the text and an online bank of many more high-quality images, this book gives readers a comprehensive library of musculoskeletal imaging scans and serves as an ideal guide for radiology residents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the transosseous external fixation techniques that I have been developing over the course of the past 40 years. During this time, our research in medicine, biology and engineering has led to the evolution of more than 800 unique, highly effective methods of treatment that extend beyond the realm of traumatology and orthopedics. The book features a comprehensive theoretical and clinical description of the biologic laws governing the depen dence of the shape-forming processes of bones and joints upon the adequacy of blood supply, as well as a delineation of the effect of tension-stress upon the genesis and growth of tissues. I have in cluded our latest data on tissue growth and regeneration during transosseous osteosyntheses. The book summarizes the biomechanical principles of applica tion of my apparatus; clinical cases selected from more than 25000 patients illustrate the management of some of the most complex disorders of the locomotor system. New solutions to many therapeutic problems are described. In particular, severe limb trauma with large defects of bone, vessels, nerves and skin can be managed without resort to transplantation. Radical debridement surgery can be followed by a one-step restora tion of the missing tissue, thus decreasing the likelihood of a serious wound infection or an amputation.
