Potential Origins of Acute Surgical Site Infections in Non-Traumatic Orthopedic Surgery - a Single-Center Prospective Evaluation Open
Background: In orthopedic surgery, we overlook the proportion of surgical site infections (SSI) acquired Intra- versus postoperative. A better overview would help to allocate resources for infection control instead of solely aiming for the…

Operatively treated high-energy blunt pelvic ring injuries and surgical site infections – A retrospective assessment based on a prospective registry Open
These findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive infection prevention strategy in high-energy PRI patients, especially in complex cases. A multidisciplinary approach is of outmost importance and should include surgical techniques with…

High-energy blunt pelvic ring injuries and pre-hospital pelvic binder applications – A retrospective assessment based on a prospective registry Open
In the ideal pre-hospital scenario, every high-energy blunt type B or C PRI patient should be managed with a PPB. Continuous pre-hospital team training and information is crucial to achieve this goal. The preparation of Emergency Departmen…

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Posterior Spinal Instrumentation and Fusion in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Current Status and Future Application Open
The posterior minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) approach—or the paraspinal muscle approach—for posterior spinal fusion and segmental instrumentation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) was first reported in 2011. It is less inva…

Perioperative Urinary Catheter Use and Association to (Gram-Negative) Surgical Site Infection after Spine Surgery Open
This study evaluates potential associations between the perioperative urinary catheter (UC) carriage and (Gram-negative) surgical site infections (SSIs) after spine surgery. It is a retrospective, single-center, case-control study stratify…

High-energy blunt pelvic ring injury incidence and polytrauma caseload in a single level I trauma center during COVID-19 related pseudo-lockdown measures: a retrospective cohort study based on a prospective registry Open
Background Pelvic ring injuries are potentially lethal lesions associated with polytrauma patients and need an efficient trauma team for their management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of high-energy blunt pelvic …

Accuracy and Safety of Pedicle Screw Placement for Treating Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Narrative Review Comparing Available Techniques Open
Posterior spinal fusion and segmental spinal instrumentation using pedicle screws (PS) is the most used procedure to correct adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Computed navigation, robotic navigation, and patient-specific drill templates are…

High-energy blunt pelvic ring injury: dataset of patients and injury characteristics from a severely injured patients’ registry. Open
Since mid-2013, data on high-energy trauma patients admitted to the Emergency Department of the University Hospitals of Geneva, Switzerland, are prospectively recorded in a dedicated registry. This includes data on patients with high-energ…

Paraspinal muscle approach for neuromuscular scoliosis: A comparative study evaluating deformity correction and perioperative morbidity in 91 patients with minimum 2-year follow-up Open
Purpose: We present the paraspinal approach use for neuromuscular scoliosis with focus on deformity correction, perioperative (≤30 days) morbidity and outcome at a minimal follow-up length of 2 years. Methods: We prospectively collected da…

Management of Acute Native Joint Bacterial Arthritis in Adults in 2020 - A Short Narrative, Practical State-of-the-Art Review Open
Native joint bacterial arthritis is a common infection among adults and children. A solely conservative management, without any articular drainage/lavage, increases the risk of recurrence. In contrast, the type of initial lavage/drainage c…
