Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the clinical characteristics and treatment results of patients with traumatic sternal fractures over a 10-year period at a regional trauma center, highlighting the lack of previous reports on this topic.* -
- Out of 266 patients with sternal fractures, 98 underwent surgical treatment due to severe complications, while 162 were managed conservatively, with both groups showing similar lengths of hospital stays.* -
- The study concludes that surgical interventions for sternal fractures resulted in successful outcomes with minimal complications, emphasizing the importance of factors like flail motion and rib fracture in deciding the treatment approach.*
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 2042 patients with pelvic fractures were reviewed, and 498 (24.4%) were treated for arterial injuries, with 30 patients (1.5% overall) specifically receiving SGA embolization.
- * The findings showed that SGA injuries can occur through various mechanisms and types of fractures, including those not involving the sciatic notch, but the study did not establish a direct link between SGA injuries and specific fracture types.
Article Synopsis
- Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is effective for flail chest patients, but hardware failure (HF) of implanted plates may occur, prompting this study to explore its clinical characteristics and factors involved.
- Among 728 patients who underwent SSRF, 10.9% experienced HF, primarily screw loosening, with a mean age of 56.5 years; the majority of these patients were men.
- Reoperations for plate removal happened in 26.3% of HF cases, primarily in younger patients, indicating a need for more research to identify risk factors associated with SSRF failure.
Article Synopsis
- - Pulmonary contusion is linked to respiratory complications in trauma patients, prompting a study to explore how the ratio of contusion volume to total lung volume affects patient outcomes.
- - Out of 73 analyzed patients, 38 were identified at severe risk due to high contusion ratios, with many developing pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome.
- - The study found that measuring the contusion ratio using chest CT can reliably predict the risk for complications, with a threshold of about 70.4% indicating a higher likelihood of pneumonia.
Shunt malfunction is the most common cause of ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure. In literature, occlusion of the tube with brain parenchyma, choroid plexus, blood, and proteinaceous debris has been suggested as a mechanism of obstruction. We herein report a case of shunt malfunction without any identifiable occlusion.

- The study focused on the insertion of totally implantable central venous port systems (TICVPS) in 827 patients from 2013 to 2015 and analyzed complications related to the procedure.
- All 843 insertions were successful, resulting in a low overall complication rate of 4.0%, with most issues being catheter-associated (2.3%).
- Factors contributing to the lower complication rate included experienced surgeons, a sterile environment, and the use of ultrasound and fluoroscopy during the procedure.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review the natural history, clinical outcome and safety in patients undergoing sartorius muscle flap (SMF) for groin infection, including lymphocele.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent SMF in a single center between 2000 and 2009.
Results: Thirty patients (17 male, 13 female) underwent SMF for groin infection, which included infections of 22 artificial femoral bypass grafts (including 2 cryoveins) and 5 common femoral patch grafts, and 3 lymphocele infections (2 cardiac catheterizations and 1 penile cancer lymph node dissection).
Factors influencing on difficulty with laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair according to learning period.

Purpose: Laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of inguinal hernia is technically challenging enough to build high barrier to entry. The purpose of this study was to identify clinical factors influencing technical difficulty with laparoscopic TEP according to learning period.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 112 adult patients who underwent laparoscopic TEP for unilateral inguinal hernia from January 2009 to September 2013.
