Key presentations addressed the full-scale Russo-Ukrainian war and Colombia's enduring internal conflict, emphasizing the disproportionate burden of complex civilian injuries. In Ukraine, since the 2022 invasion, high-velocity ballistic and explosive trauma has resulted in injuries with extensive skeletal and soft tissue damage, often necessitating staged surgical debridement, external fixation, limb reconstruction, or amputation. Innovative techniques, including 3D-printed implants and regional or free flap coverage, have been incorporated into multidisciplinary protocols, despite significant limitations in subspecialty access and surgical resources. Conversely, Colombia's conflict-ongoing for over 7 decades-has resulted in over 2 million registered victims who have sustained physical injuries caused by bullets, explosions, or other war-related trauma, including both combatants and civilians. Urban areas primarily see low-energy gunshot wounds, whereas rural zones are affected by higher-energy injuries caused by improvised landmines and other unconventional weapons. Treatment is complicated by delayed evacuation, lack of trauma system infrastructure, and biologically contaminated injuries leading to high infection rates. The forum highlighted the importance of adaptable, evidence-based protocols, antimicrobial stewardship, and long-term rehabilitation strategies. The consensus of the expert panel was that the persistent burden of extremity trauma in conflict settings demands coordinated global trauma systems and equitable access to limb preservation and reconstructive care.</p>","PeriodicalId":74381,"journal":{"name":"OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma","volume":"8 6 Suppl","pages":"e444"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12519556/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145304940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Successful management requires a multidisciplinary approach focused on resuscitation, mechanical stabilization, and hemorrhage control. Based on the 2024 International Orthopaedic Trauma Association (IOTA) Annual Meeting Pelvic Symposium, this review summarizes current recommendations for the management of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures. Initial skeletal stabilization typically involves noninvasive pelvic binding devices, such as sheets or commercially available binders, employed in both pre-hospital and hospital settings. Subsequent resuscitation strategies include hypotensive resuscitation-restricting fluid administration to maintain lower blood pressure until bleeding is controlled-and damage control resuscitation-consisting of rapid surgical interventions aimed at achieving hemostasis. Current best practice also includes early empirical administration of balanced transfusion products guided by massive transfusion protocols, with targeted adjustments based on point-of-care testing results. Hemorrhage control methods vary depending on available resources: angioembolization effectively manages arterial bleeding in well-resourced facilities, whereas preperitoneal pelvic packing offers a quick, accessible solution for venous and bone-related hemorrhage, particularly in low-resource environments. Although the timing of pelvic binder removal and definitive invasive skeletal stabilization remains controversial, recent evidence supports early definitive internal fixation within 24 hours post-injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":74381,"journal":{"name":"OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma","volume":"8 6 Suppl","pages":"e436"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12519557/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145304943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although isolated fractures typically follow predictable healing patterns, the presence of multiple injuries creates complex interactions that can either accelerate or severely impair bone regeneration.

These paradoxical outcomes reflect distinct biological pathways that are only beginning to be understood. Malnutrition, affecting up to one-third of hospitalized orthopaedic patients, further complicates recovery by impairing both soft tissue and bone healing.

Changes to the body as a result of aging, such as degeneration of the bone marrow, osteoblast apoptosis, and a decline in hormone production, coupled with sarcopenia, are only a few factors that predispose the elderly to fractures. In addition, these factors further complicate surgical management, as they increase the risk of fixation failure, nonunion, malunion, and wound complications. As a result, the standards of geriatric fracture fixation must account for variables that are rarely included when planning for surgery in the younger population. Operative fixation should provide a stable limb to allow for early mobilization and weight bearing, lowering the risk of medical complications. Therefore, early mobility is of the utmost importance in the setting of most fragility fractures. However, early mobility in some, such as the pelvic fragility fracture, may lead to an increased risk for bleeding and death. Geriatric fractures carry significant morbidity, mortality, and financial risk, which indicates that there should be a continuing review and understanding of the multifactorial process leading toward and treatment strategies employed after geriatric fractures.

However, 2 of these patients developed a chronic infection and were placed on long term PO antibiotics for chronic infection suppression, thus making them ineligible for classification as free of infection.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The results of this study suggest that application of antibiotic cement to retained plates/screws for ORIF during treatment of both acute fracture infections and acutely infected nonunions is a viable technique to achieve osseous union. Hardware removal may be required in some cases. Use of this technique supports fracture healing and local infection control, while maintaining construct stability long enough to achieve fracture union.</p>","PeriodicalId":74381,"journal":{"name":"OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma","volume":"8 3","pages":"e415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12356638/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144877179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
