Zusammenfassung

Femurschaftfrakturen entstehen meistens im Rahmen von Hochrasanztraumen und betreffen überwiegend jüngere Patienten. Standardtherapie ist die aufgebohrte antegrade Marknagelosteosynthese, wobei auch retrograde Nagelung oder Plattenosteosynthese möglich sind. Bei polytraumatisierten Patienten erfolgt zuerst im Rahmen von Damage Control Surgery die Stabilisierung mit Fixateur externe, bevor die endgültige Versorgung durchgeführt wird. Die operative Therapie einer Femurschaftfraktur stellt den Operateur vor einige Herausforderungen. Vor allem bei Trümmerfrakturen kann die Einstellung der richtigen Länge und Rotation starke Schwierigkeiten bereiten. Der Beitrag vermittelt Tipps und Tricks für die operative Behandlung der Femurschaftfraktur.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
