Abstract

Background

Several options are known for treatment of the sternal wounds. However, various wound diameters need various flaps.

Patients and Methods

135 patients with sternum osteomyelitis from 2006 to 2010 of our institution were analyzed in a retrospective study. After using various flaps from 2006 to 2009 we developed an algorithm based on wound width, using pectoralis muscle flaps or the latissimus dorsi muscle flap. Two groups from 2006 - 2009, and 2010 were analyzed. A matched pair analysis was done for groups with small (< 6 cm), medium (6 cm - 12 cm) and large wound width (> 12 cm). Endpoint for each analysis was wound dehiscence larger than 1cm. Factors influencing wound dehiscence were analyzed, such as infectious agents, applied flap for coverage, gender, co-morbidities, number of debridements before closure, ICU length of stay. Statistical analysis was done by Mann Whitney U-Test using the SPSS program.

Results

130 patients were included in the study and 48 in the match. No significant difference in patient population between the two groups was detected. Total number of wound dehiscence in the 2010 group was lesser, however without statistical significance. Groups with wound sizes lesser than 6 cm showed a significant difference in wound dehiscence when using our algorithm. However, significant lesser length of ICU and hospital stay for all groups treated according to our algorithm was seen.

Conclusions

ICU and hospital length of stay can be significantly reduced when using our algorithm, reducing costs for treatment of deep sternal osteomyelitis.
Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Traumatologische Notfälle Nachrichten

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!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

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.

TAVI versus Klappenchirurgie: Neue Vergleichsstudie sorgt für Erstaunen

Bei schwerer Aortenstenose und obstruktiver KHK empfehlen die Leitlinien derzeit eine chirurgische Kombi-Behandlung aus Klappenersatz plus Bypass-OP. Diese Empfehlung wird allerdings jetzt durch eine aktuelle Studie infrage gestellt – mit überraschender Deutlichkeit.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
