Disease relevance of Traumatology

• Development and validation of the AO pediatric comprehensive classification of long bone fractures by the Pediatric Expert Group of the AO Foundation in collaboration with AO Clinical Investigation and Documentation and the International Association for Pediatric Traumatology [1].
• This study analyzes the results of 24 patients with idiopathic scoliosis who had been followed up for at least 2 years, and were surgically treated with titanium Isola Spinal Instrumentation in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Ankara Social Security Hospital. Patients were grouped according to the King-Moe classification [2].

High impact information on Traumatology

• A.E. Bennett Research Award. Developmental traumatology. Part I: Biological stress systems [3].
• For this aim, a total of 984 cases out of the total amount reported at the Traumatology Section of the Turkish Council for Forensic Medicine were randomly selected and evaluated retrospectively [4].
• Retrospective clinical and radiographic evaluation was performed on 41 patients seen at the Salzburg General Hospital Department of Traumatology on average 2 years following ACL reconstruction [5].
• The fall in the MRSA infection rate in orthopaedic and traumatology wards can be explained by antibiotic policy but also by other infection control measures [6].
• Effects of meclofenamic acid in the treatment of lesions deriving from minor traumatology [7].

Biological context of Traumatology

• Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations: traumatology, Part 2 [8].
• Between 1981 and 1998 frozen and radiation sterilized bone allografts were transplanted into 1376 patients at the Institute of Traumatology, Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery of the Military School of Medicine in Warsaw [9].

Associations of Traumatology with chemical compounds

• The titanium hollow screw reconstruction plate (THORP) system for reconstruction of lower jaw defects provides a functional stable fixation and is used as a long-term or permanent implant in tumor surgery and in traumatology [10].
• In-vivo and clinical evaluations of poly(L-lactide) plates and screws for use in maxillofacial traumatology [11].
• Analgesic effect of probon in traumatology [12].
• The use of collagenase-clostridiopeptidase combined with chloramphenicol in orthopaedics and traumatology [13].
• We found a high number of patients using alcohol, and a lower but still relavant number of benzodiazepine users in this large and unselected traumatology ER sample [14].

Gene context of Traumatology

• During installation of the Innsbruck PACS, special aspects of traumatology had to be realized, such as imaging of unconscious patients without identification, and transferred to the electronic environment [15].
• Use of bone morphogenetic proteins in traumatology [16].
• The widespread use of peri-surgical chemoprophylaxis is decreasing the incidence of surgical site infection in Traumatology, which nevertheless remains as a problem amenable to further reduction [17].
• In this retrospective study, the author reports on preliminary results of finger replantations performed in the Department of Traumatology, Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery at Central Hospital 108, No. 1 Tran Hung Dao, Hanoi, Vietnam between September 1999 and December 2002 [18].
