    Abstract Objective: For patients with soft tissue sarcoma, surgical resection is a key element of curative therapy. Surgery is performed as a wide resection with microscopically negative margins (R0 resection) and as limb-sparing procedure whenever possible to preserve maximum function.
    Indications: Soft tissue sarcoma, metastases.
    Contraindications: Extensive disease with major neurovascular involvement, placement of biopsy tract necessitates extensive resection, palliative care.
    Surgical technique: Extended deltopectoral approach. Release of pectoralis major and minor tendons. Vascular and neurologic exploration, identification of the axillary vessels and brachial plexus, placing of loops around major structures. Mobilization of these structures to achieve adequate exposure. Clipping of vessels entering the tumor. Tumor resection, suture marking for histological analysis. Soft tissue reconstruction by transosseous reinsertion of the pectoralis minor to the coracoid process. Drill channel placement, transosseous refixation of the pectoralis major to the humerus.
    Postoperative management: Shoulder abduction brace for 6 weeks, passive mobilization for 6-12 weeks followed by active mobilization. Compression sleeve. Oncological follow-up.
    Results: Between 2017 and 2022, wide resection was performed in 6 consecutive cases including 4 primary soft tissue sarcomas and 2 metastases. Primary R0 resection was achieved in 100%. Mean follow-up was 22.5 months (3-60 months). There were no local recurrences. Mean active shoulder abduction was 135.0 ± 41.4° (90-180°). Neurological deficits were not observed. Mean subjective shoulder function was 80.0 ± 21.0% (50-100%). The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 89.5% (32-100%), indicating good functional outcome in the study cohort.

    Abstract Due to the novelty of immune checkpoint inhibitors, their cutaneous adverse events (AEs) have only been recently characterized. This, along with the substantial rate of cutaneous reactions, has left many clinicians without sufficient familiarity to diagnose and treat cutaneous AEs. Pruritus and rash are among the top five immune-related AEs reported in clinical trials for this class of therapy. Incidence varies between 35 and 60% for cutaneous AEs among the seven FDA-approved drugs used as monotherapy or combination therapy. Although only 2% are reported as grade 3 or 4 events with monotherapy, the incidence can be as high as 6-9% for combination therapy and the impact on quality of life can be significant for these patients. Of ipilimumab patients, 43.5% have a cutaneous AE, and, at our institution, 20% of them had a dose interruption as a result. This means potentially 9% of patients have dose interruption of ipilimumab because of their cutaneous AEs. In the following chapter, we review the categories of these drugs, common cutaneous effects, their grading, and management options.

    Abstract We report here a 46-year-old male patient with a 14 cm segmental bone defect of the radial shaft after third degree open infected fracture caused by a shrapnel injury. The patient underwent fixed-angle plate osteosynthesis and bone reconstruction of the radial shaft by a vascularized 3D-printed graft cage, including plastic coverage with a latissimus dorsi flap and an additional central vascular pedicle. Bony reconstruction of segmental defects still represents a major challenge in musculo-skeletal surgery. Thereby, 3D-printed scaffolds or graft cages display a new treatment option for bone restoration. As missing vascularization sets the limits for the treatment of large-volume bone defects by 3D-printed scaffolds, in the present case, we firstly describe the reconstruction of an extensive radial shaft bone defect by using a graft cage with additional vascularization.

    Abstract Background: Segmental bone transport is a common technique for treating large segmental bone defects. However, a docking site procedure is often necessary in segmental bone transport. To date, no prognostic factors for the need of docking site procedure have been reported. Thus, the decision is often made at random, based on the surgeon's subjective judgment and experience. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors for the need of docking site operation.
    Methods: Patients with segmental bone transport in lower extremity bone defects were included regardless of age, aetiology, and defect size. We excluded patients undergoing treatments that were not yet completed, and those who discontinued therapy by any reason. The need for docking site operation was modelled with logistical and linear regression as well as univariate analysis of variances (ANOVA). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was also performed.
    Results: Twenty-seven patients from age 12 to 74 years (mean age: 39.07 ± 18.20 years) were included. The mean defect size was 76.39 ± 41.10 mm. The duration of transport (days) showed a significant influence (p = 0.049, 95%CI: 1.00-1.02) on the need for docking site operation. No other significant influences were detected.
    Conclusion: A link between the duration of transport and the need for docking site operation was detected. Our data showed that if a threshold of about 188 days is exceeded, docking surgery should be considered.

    Abstract Background: Coagulopathy is prevalent in multiple trauma patients and worsens bleeding complications, leading to higher morbidity and mortality rates. Hyperglycemia upon admission predicts hemorrhagic shock and mortality in severely injured patients. This study aimed to assess admission glucose levels as an independent prognostic factor for coagulopathy in multiply injured patients.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study observed multiple trauma patients treated at a level I trauma center between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2020. Coagulopathy was defined as an international normalized ratio (INR) > 1.4 and/or activated thromboplastin time (APTT) > 40 s. Analysis of variance compared clinical and laboratory parameters of patients with and without coagulopathy. Receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified risk factors associated with coagulopathy.
    Results: The study included 913 patients, of whom 188 (20%) had coagulopathy at admission. Coagulopathy patients had higher mortality than those without (26% vs. 5.0%, p < 0.001). Mean glucose level in coagulopathy patients was 10.09 mmol/L, significantly higher than 7.97 mmol/L in non-coagulopathy patients (p < 0.001). Admission glucose showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.64 (95% CI [0.59-0.69], p < 0.001) with an optimal cut-off point of 12.35 mmol/L. After adjusting for other factors, patients with high admission glucose had a 1.99-fold risk of developing coagulopathy (95% CI 1.07-3.60). Other laboratory parameters associated with coagulopathy included haemoglobin, bicarbonate (HCO3), and lactate levels.
    Conclusion: This study emphasizes the significance of admission blood glucose as an independent predictor of coagulopathy. Monitoring hyperglycemia can aid in identifying high-risk patients.

    Title translation Management of fracture-related infections.
    Abstract Fracture-related infections (FRI) are a major challenge in orthopedic trauma surgery. The problems in the treatment of such infections are manifold. Especially in cases with insufficient fracture consolidation the treatment not only focusses on the eradication of the infection but also on the restoration of the osseous continuity. The extent of the accompanying soft tissue damage is of particular importance as reduced vascularization leads to impairments in fracture healing. Although acute infections are frequently easy to recognize, the symptoms of chronic infections can be unspecific and evade the diagnostic procedures. This fact makes the treatment of such infections complicated and sometimes necessitates an interdisciplinary approach. For this reason, the Fracture-related Infection Consensus Group developed an algorithm, which was first published in 2017 and revised in 2018 and 2020. The FRIs are biofilm-associated infections, so that the current guidelines follow the previously established treatment algorithms for periprosthetic infections. Despite the analogies to periprosthetic infections there are also differences in the treatment as the aspects of fracture healing and bone defect restoration represent determining factors in the treatment of FRI. This article presents the special features of FRI and the classification and guidelines for the treatment are discussed.
