Knee injuries in severe trauma patients: a trauma registry study in 3.458 patients

Abstract: BackgroundPurpose of the presented study is to answer the following questions: Are knee injuries associated with trauma mechanisms or concomitant injuries? Do injuries of the knee region aggravate treatment costs or prolong hospital stay in polytraumatized patients?MethodsA retrospective analysis including 29.779 severely injured patients (Injury Severity Score [greater than or equal to] 16) from the Trauma Registry of the German Society for Trauma Surgery database (1993-2008) was conducted. Patients were subd… Show more

Previous studies already investigated lower limb and extremity injuries in severe trauma patients, indicating the need to analyze shoulder injuries in severe trauma [ 2 , 17 ].…”
