Development of a German fracture register to assess current fracture care and improve treatment quality
نویسندگان
چکیده
Continuous evaluation of current treatment methods is crucial in orthopaedic trauma surgery.Existing fracture registries substantially contribute to improving fracture care and quality of life in trauma patients.Currently there is no universal German fracture register recording the patient-centred outcome of non-surgical as well as surgical fracture treatment in all anatomical regions.Conclusions regarding nationwide fracture treatment and quality of care are only significant to a limited extent.

متن کاملEconomic Analysis of Bisphosphonate Use after Distal Radius Fracture for Prevention of Hip Fracture
Background: Osteoporosis is a common condition among the elderly population, and is associated with an increased risk of fracture. One of the most common fragility fractures involve the distal radius, and are associated with risk of subsequent fragility fracture. Early treatment with bisphosphonates has been suggested to decrease the population hip fracture burden. However, there have been no p...
متن کاملThe Outcomes of Pilon Fracture Treatment: Primary Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Twostage Approach
Background: Pilon fracture is one of the challenging injuries in orthopedic surgery. Associated soft tissue injury is animportant factor in choosing treatment options.
