Impact of Glasgow Coma Scale score and pupil parameters on mortality rate and outcome in pediatric and adult severe traumatic brain injury: a retrospective, multicenter cohort study.
Pedram Emami,Patrick Czorlich,Friederike S Fritzsche,Manfred Westphal,Johannes M. Rueger,Rolf Lefering,Michael Hoffmann +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that severe TBI in children aged ≤ 15 years is associated with a lower mortality rate and superior functional outcome than in adults, and children admitted with a missing motor response or fixed and bilaterally dilated pupils also have a lower deaths rate and higher functional outcome.
Significance of clinical examination, CT and MRI scan in the diagnosis of posterior pelvic ring fractures
Jakob Nüchtern,Maximilian J Hartel,F Henes,Michael Groth,S.Y. Jauch,J. Haegele,Daniel Briem,Michael Hoffmann,Wolfgang Lehmann,Johannes M. Rueger,L.G. Großterlinden +10 more
TL;DR: MRI examination of the pelvis was found to be superior in detecting undislocated fractures in a cohort of patients with a high incidence of osteoporosis, suggesting that using MRI may be beneficial in select cases, especially when reduced bone density is suspected.

Scoliosis and chest cage deformity measures predicting impairments in pulmonary function: a cross-sectional study of 492 patients with scoliosis to improve the early identification of patients at risk.
TL;DR: Patients with increasing coronal and sagittal plane deformities with a high thoracic scoliosis apex are at the highest risk for reduced FVC, and the models developed provided improved estimations of actual PF based on the magnitude of the radiographical deformity.

Internal fixation of femoral neck fractures with posterior comminution: a biomechanical comparison of DHS® and Intertan nail®.
Martin Rupprecht,Lars Grossterlinden,Kai Sellenschloh,Michael Hoffmann,Klaus Püschel,Michael M. Morlock,Johannes M. Rueger,Wolfgang Lehmann +7 more
TL;DR: In comminuted Pauwels type III fractures, the fixation with the IT provided sufficient postoperative mechanical strength, comparable rate of femoral head displacement, and a similar tolerance of physiological loads compared to fractures without comminution.

Isolated syndesmotic injuries in acute ankle sprains: diagnostic significance of clinical examination and MRI
L.G. Großterlinden,Maximilian J Hartel,Jin Yamamura,Bjoern P. Schoennagel,Nils Bürger,Mathias Krause,Alexander S. Spiro,Michael Hoffmann,Wolfgang Lehmann,Johannes M. Rueger,Martin Rupprecht +10 more
TL;DR: Clinical examination was insufficient to detect syndesmotic injuries in acute ankle sprains, and MRI scanning should be recommended in patients with ongoing pain at rest following ankle Sprains.
