Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing innovations in the treatment of traumatized patients. These include modern developments in implants and osteosynthesis materials, new approaches and the application of the latest intraoperative technology. Many of these innovations are based on the findings of translational research, for example, in the field of biomechanics. This is a new volume, which follows the publication of 16 papers in the first volume. You can find more details by following the link below:

In recent decades, significant progress has been made in the field of orthopedics and traumatology as a result of scientific research findings, although the context has continued to change. Road safety has led to a decrease in high-energy trauma following major trauma, while the number of elderly patients with low-energy trauma continues to increase. It is the task of the surgeon to treat this broad spectrum of complex patients in the best possible way using all appropriate resources.

Therefore, this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine targets multifactorial improvements in trauma and orthopedic surgery with the goal of improving daily clinical practice through scientific recommendations for the benefit of our patients. In addition to the latest clinical care approaches, translational topics will also be considered.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background: Trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures result in nonunion in more than 20% of cases. The aim of this study was to assess the functional and radiological results following revision cephalomedullary nailing and 95-degree angled blade plating in aseptic trochanteric and subtrochanteric nonunion. Methods: In a retrospective multi-center study between January 2010 and December 2020, a total of 68 consecutive patients (21 women and 47 men) from two European level I trauma centers with the diagnosis of aseptic nonunion were recruited. Follow-up assessment and the patients’ convenience were assessed using the Harris Hip Score, Visual Analog Scale for pain at rest and on stress/exertion and Short Form-12. Results: The patients’ mean age was 57 (range 26–85) years. After a follow-up period of 12 months, one case of persistent nonunion in the cephalomedullary nail group and 10 cases in the blade plate group were identified. The mean duration of surgery was 137 ± 47 min in the cephalomedullary nail group and 202 ± 59 min in the blade plate group (<0.0001). Short-term postoperative complications included wound dehiscence, bleeding, mismatched screw and hematoma. The mid-term results 12 months after surgical revision demonstrated significantly different osseous union rates (p = 0.018). The long-term functional outcome according to the Harris Hip Score 6 years (range 2–10) after revision surgery demonstrated 81 ± 21 points in the cephalomedullary nail group and 64 ± 23 points in the plate group (p = 0.026). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the revision treatment of trochanteric and subtrochanteric nonunion using a 95-degree blade plate or cephalomedullary nail resulted in a high percentage of osseous union, with a low incidence of complications and good functional results for both methods.
