Pyogenic Spondylodiscitis

Abstract Background Despite advances, the morbidity and mortality rates of patients with spondylodiscitis remains high, with an increasing incidence worldwide. Although conservative therapy has progressed, several cases require surgical intervention. However, the indication and opportunities for surgical treatment are still disputable. Methods In a joint consensus, the members of the ‘Spondylodiscitis’ working group of the Spine Section of the German Society for Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery considered current literature, particularly the newly published S2k guideline of the AWMF, and examined the surgical indications and treatment strategies for thoracolumbar spondylodiscitis. Results Surgical intervention for spondylodiscitis is only required in a small percentage of patients. In studies comparing conservative and surgical therapies, most patients benefitted from surgery, regardless of the surgical technique selected. Presently, the standard procedure is a combined dorsoventral approach, in which a monolateral attempt should always be made. The choice of material (PEEK, titanium) for ventral support does not influence the clinical result.

What are the young academics in O und U doing?The shortage of junior doctors is a very important and acute issue. One reason is the impending shortage of doctors and the lack of young medical professionals.Professional societies take this very seriously and are working hard on a solution. One of the many offerings that are designed for students of medicine is the annual "Summer School” of the German DGOU (German Society for Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery). This article focuses on the SummerSchool of the DGOU and the feedback by the students who attended this Summer School 2010 in Homburg. Its particular interest lies in the question of whether such events are effective in creating an interest for young doctors.For the evaluation of the course, a questionnaire was created, which had a total of 14 questions. The questionnaire gave the students an opportunity to provide both positive and negative feedback through the use of a sliding scale, 1 being the best and 10 the worst.The evaluation showed that the overall perception was positive, with some excellent ratings given. In particular personal interaction was an outstanding point. Also the subject Orthopaedics and Trauma Care was better communicated to the students and thus left a longer-lasting impression.Overall it can be said that formats such as the DGOU Summer School are an important tool in the development of young health care professionals, and that they play a vital part in the attraction of young health care professionals.What seemed of great importance in this context was the close contact and exchange of experience with the teachers.More time and observations are still required to determine whether or not these efforts had the desired effect on influencing students to choose Orthopaedics and Trauma Care.

Purpose: Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States after malignant tumors and cardiovascular disease. Handling of errors becomes more and more eclectic due to the implementation of incident reporting systems and the use of checklists. Since 2015, any German hospital would have a critical incident reporting system (CIRS). The aim of this study is to discover the nationwide utilization and attitude toward CIRS of orthopedic and trauma surgeons. Methods: Between April 10, 2015 and May 22, 2015, a web-based questionnaire, which was designed by an expert team consisting of orthopedic and trauma surgeons, aeronautic human factors specialists, and psychologists (Lufthansa Aviation Training), was sent to all members of the German Society for Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery. The survey consisted of three questions regarding CIRS and its use in German hospitals. Results: A total of 669 orthopedic and trauma surgeons working in German hospitals completed the questionnaire. All participants rated CIRS as useful, although 71.3% of participants did not report a critical incident in the last 12 months. In that time period, only 13.4% of participating residents reported at least one incident, but 44.7% of chief physicians reported one incident within the same period. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that even though CIRS as a tool is positively appreciated by orthopedic and trauma surgeons working in German hospitals, many do not know about its existence at their own hospital. This can be a reason for the low number of critical incidents reported.
