Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are recognised with greater frequency in children and adolescents. Non-operative treatment of ACL injuries in children may lead to knee instability and secondary injuries, especially in those who return to sports. ACL reconstruction is controversial in skeletally immature patients because of potential damage to the proximal tibial and distal femoral physes, which may lead to premature arrest and/or leg length discrepancies. This paper reviews studies of ACL injuries in children and adolescents, and examines basic science and clinical studies concerning physeal arrest secondary to ACL reconstruction tunnels. Some animal studies support the conclusion that ACL reconstructions in children have the potential to cause growth disturbances, and there are reports of growth plate complications due to ACL reconstruction in skeletally immature patients. There is evidence that ACL reconstruction can be performed in select skeletally immature patients, but the risk of growth plate complications must be considered.

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.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Häusliche Gewalt 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.
