Traumatic rhabdomyolysis: rare but morbid, potentially lethal, and inconsistently monitored.
Although traumatic rhabdomyolysis (TR) is shown to be associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), there are no large prospective epidemiological studies, interventional trials, official guidelines outlining the appropriate investigation, monitoring, and treatment on this poorly understood condition. We aimed to establish the contemporary epidemiology and describe current practices for TR to power future higher quality studies. We hypothesised that investigation and monitoring occur in an ad hoc fashion. ⋯ Whilst TR appears rare without liberal screening, it is strongly associated with AKI. Given the poor outcomes, standardised monitoring, and liberal testing of CK could be justified in trauma patients with higher injury severity. This epidemiological data can help to define study populations and power future multicentre prospective studies on this infrequent yet morbid condition.

Therapy aspects of peri-implant femoral fractures-a retrospective analysis of 64 patients.
The incidence of peri-implant femoral fractures (PIFF) is increasing. Information regarding outcomes, timing of surgery, risk factors, and a clinically applicable treatment algorithm are lacking. The aim of this study was to identify outcome-related risk factors and to derive a treatment algorithm. ⋯ Risk factors for 1-year mortality in patients with PIFFs were identified. A treatment algorithm and general principles for surgery of PIFFs were developed.
