Extensive humanitarian aid operations were carried out to support Ukraine, so that war-wounded people from Ukraine were also cared for in Germany. In a retrospective cohort study, 10 patients were examined who were treated in the department between February 24th 2022 and February 24th 2023, using the cloverleaf system from Ukraine.The average duration of inpatient treatment was 53.10 days. The average ISS was 23.7. The patients were operated on an average of 3.3 times in our institution. All patients received consultative psychological care. All patients were initially put into protective isolation until the results of a corona test and microbiological swabs were available. After preliminary protective isolation, further isolation had to be carried out in 5 cases due to germs requiring isolation. Eight patients were released to state accommodation. Three patients were transferred back to Ukraine at their own request.The treatment of war-injured patients from Ukraine represents a particular challenge. It absolutely requires an interdisciplinary treatment concept that, in addition to special trauma surgery and orthopaedic expertise, also requires plastic-reconstructive, microbiological and, last but not least, psychological care. Due to the high rate of infections requiring isolation, long, costly therapy with multiple revision operations is often necessary.</p>","PeriodicalId":94274,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141989874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the orthopedic literature lacks sufficient studies on these topics, indicating a significant gap. This case report aims to highlight how combining these innovative techniques can facilitate the use of BCFC and BCS in the treatment of acetabular fractures with O-TEP, thereby enhancing the feasibility of endoscopic techniques. Furthermore, we aim to discuss the potential advantages of BCFC and BCS concepts when used in O-TEP.For this purpose, we present a case of a 74-year-old geriatric patient with a transverse acetabular fracture involving the posterior column. The quadrilateral surface was exposed using the O-TEP approach, and the fracture was reduced using a fully endoscopic approach. The fixation was achieved using BCS and a Magic screw through percutaneous screw placement.The patient's clinical condition was followed for at least 13 months. The clinical outcomes demonstrated the effectiveness of combining these innovative techniques in the treatment of acetabular fractures, with satisfactory healing and functional recovery observed.This case report illustrates that combining BCFC and BCS with the O-TEP approach can facilitate the treatment of acetabular fractures with minimally invasive techniques and enhance the feasibility of endoscopic procedures. These findings suggest potential advantages of using BCFC and BCS concepts in O-TEP, warranting further investigation and study.</p>","PeriodicalId":94274,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141977613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigated cement leakage rates in spinal cement augmentation procedures and identified potential risk factors for cement leakage.140 cases (258 vertebrae) in 131 consecutive patients and nine postmortem cases were evaluated. A total of 258 cement-augmented vertebrae were studied. The data for this were obtained from the hospital records of 131 patients who underwent such operations in 2 orthopaedic trauma surgery clinics in the FRG and from the examinations of 9 postmortem cases at the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf.Cement leaks were identified in 64 of the 140 cases (45.7%). Local cement leaks were the most common type of leak, accounting for 73.4% of leaks (n = 47). Venous leaks were evaluated in 15 cases (23.4%) and pulmonary embolisations in 2 cases (3.1%). Within the group of retrospectively studied cases (n = 131), only one patient (0.8%) suffered a symptomatic cement leak. Cement augmentation of fractures to lumbar vertebrae and application of large doses of cement were identified as risk factors for cement leakage.Both the data in the literature relevant to the topic and the results of this work demonstrate a high incidence of cement leakage after vertebral body augmentation procedures. Risk factors for cement leakage are described. Despite the low percentage of symptomatic cases, the possible factors influencing cement leakage should be considered and included in the surgical planning when planning and performing cement augmentations on vertebral bodies.</p>","PeriodicalId":94274,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141972518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
