{"title":"Surgically Treated Non-Unions and Fractures of the Femur and Tibia in Adults: A Nationwide Analysis of 888,442 Cases from the German InEK Database.","authors":"Niklas Graefe, Ludwig Matrisch, Sebastian Findeisen, Tobias Grossner, Jan Streblow, Thomas Ferbert, Gerhard Schmidmaier, Tim Niklas Bewersdorf","doi":"10.1007/s44197-026-00545-8","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s44197-026-00545-8","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Non-unions (NU) after fractures, especially in cases with the need of surgical intervention, represent one of the most severe complications in traumatology. As previous studies estimate post-fracture NU risk between 2% and 10% data inconsistencies persist. In particular, the data on the influence of different anatomical regions, age and sex on fracture associated NU is scarce. Therefore, this study aims to provide a comprehensive descriptively assessment of the ratio of surgically treated tibia and femur NU to tibia and femur fractures based on a nationwide dataset, with a specific focus on differences across anatomical regions.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This retrospective, population-based, cross-sectional analysis of the German InEK database (2019-2023) was conducted, including 888,442 fractures and 3,017 NU cases. The study focused on ICD- (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems-) coded diagnoses of femur and tibia NU and their associated fractures. To enhance precision, fracture and NU sites were grouped according to different anatomical regions assessed by documented OPS- (Operation and Procedure Classification System) codes. Subgroup analyses were performed for age and sex.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Surgically treated femoral shaft NU had the highest incidence (0.18 cases per 100,000 residents and year), followed closely by tibial shaft NU (0.16). The highest NU/100-fractures ratio was observed in tibial shaft (1.277), followed by distal tibia (1.095) and distal femur (0.996). Across all localisations, men had clearly higher NU/100-fractures ratios than women. NU/100-fractures ratios also varied with age, with highest ratio in the economically active population, followed by a generally decline in older patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This nationwide database study indicates that surgically treated NU/fracture ratios of femur and tibia are generally low. The proportion of NU to fracture differ between different anatomical regions. In general, proximal localisations showed lower NU/100-fractures ratios than distal localisations within the femur and in comparison of femur and tibia. Independently of the anatomical localisation men had a higher NU/100-fractures ratio than women. As highest NU/100-fractures ratios were detected in the economically active population, this highlights the substantial socioeconomic burden associated with this condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":15796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13065967/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147574062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores the transformative potential of autonomous vehicles (AVs) as mobile health units, proposing a new model for healthcare delivery that leverages emerging transportation technology. We examine how AVs can be equipped with diagnostic tools, telemedicine capabilities, and essential medical supplies to bridge existing gaps in health access. Drawing from current use cases in mobile clinics and early AV deployments, we analyze the opportunities and limitations of this approach through a public health lens. Key barriers such as infrastructure deficits, digital inequity, policy uncertainty, and ethical concerns are critically discussed. The paper also provides targeted recommendations to policymakers, health institutions, and private sector stakeholders on how to advance AV-based healthcare solutions in an inclusive and sustainable manner. By integrating technology with health equity goals, AVs offer a novel and scalable path toward universal health coverage, particularly in contexts where traditional service delivery falls short. This work contributes to the growing conversation on how innovation can reshape public health systems in the 21st century.</p>","PeriodicalId":15796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13009437/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147503985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
