Abstract Background The deltoid is a large triangular muscle at the shoulder. It attaches proximally to the clavicle, acromion and scapula, while distally it attaches to the lateral deltoid tuberosity. Ruptures are rare, and the literature only reports cases of proximal detachment. In this article, we report the first case of distal traumatic deltoid muscle detachment and its successful management. Case A young female sustained a traumatic injury following a Jet Ski accident with loss of consciousness. A complete distal rupture of the deltoid muscle was diagnosed after the basic functions were regained and a thorough musculoskeletal examination could be conducted. A conservative approach helped her to regain an acceptable shoulder function, but there was persistent pain upon activity and cosmetic scarring. The patient underwent surgical reconstruction. Postoperatively, she recovered satisfactorily. Discussion Distal detachment of the deltoid muscle is rare. The choice for surgical treatment may be undertaken based on several factors including functional status and patient-based assessment.

PurposeTo summarise the prognostic associations between various clinical risk factors and the development of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following traumatic injury.MethodsWe conducted this review in accordance with the PRISMA and CHARMS guidelines. We searched six databases from inception through December 2020. We included English language studies describing the clinical risk factors associated with the development of post-traumatic ARDS, as defined by either the American-European Consensus Conference or the Berlin definition. We pooled adjusted odds ratios for prognostic factors using the random effects method. We assessed risk of bias using the QUIPS tool and certainty of findings using GRADE methodology.ResultsWe included 39 studies involving 5 350 927 patients. We identified the amount of crystalloid resuscitation as a potentially modifiable prognostic factor associated with the development of post-traumatic ARDS (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.19 for each additional liter of crystalloid administered within first 6 h after injury, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.24, high certainty). Non-modifiable prognostic factors with a moderate or high certainty of association with post-traumatic ARDS included increasing age, non-Hispanic white race, blunt mechanism of injury, presence of head injury, pulmonary contusion, or rib fracture; and increasing chest injury severity.ConclusionWe identified one important modifiable factor, the amount of crystalloid resuscitation within the first 24 h of injury, and several non-modifiable factors associated with development of post-traumatic ARDS. This information should support the judicious use of crystalloid resuscitation in trauma patients and may inform the development of a risk-stratification tools.

BackgroundIdentifying risk factors for the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is important for understanding and ultimately preventing the disorder. This study assessed pain shortly after traumatic injury (i.e. peritraumatic pain) as a risk factor for PTSD.MethodParticipants (n=115) were patients admitted to a Level 1 Surgical Trauma Center. Admission to this service reflected a severe physical injury requiring specialized, emergent trauma care. Participants completed a pain questionnaire within 48 h of traumatic injury and a PTSD diagnostic module 4 and 8 months later.ResultsPeritraumatic pain was associated with an increased risk of PTSD, even after controlling for a number of other significant risk factors other than acute stress disorder symptoms. An increase of 0.5 s.d. from the mean in a 0–10 pain rating scale 24–48 h after injury was associated with an increased odds of PTSD at 4 months by more than fivefold, and at 8 months by almost sevenfold. A single item regarding amount of pain at the time of hospital admission correctly classified 65% of participants.ConclusionsIf these findings are replicated in other samples, high levels of peritraumatic pain could be used to identify individuals at elevated risk for PTSD following traumatic injury.

Exact Timing

While it is widely accepted that cases of traumatic injury to the brachial plexus benefit from early surgical exploration and repair, with results deteriorating with long delays, policies vary regarding the exact timing of intervention. This is one of a pair of review articles considering the clinical issues, investigations, and surgical factors relating to management of injuries to the supraclavicular brachial plexus, as well as evidence from experimental work and clinical outcomes. In this article Mr Hems outlines when waiting may be advantageous, allowing for further investigation to help clarify the extent of the injury and thus the best surgical options.

Assertion Training

Self-controlled relaxation training was combined with assertion training to treat a 22-year-old woman with a 2-year history of chronic headaches following a traumatic injury to her head and neck. There was a substantial drop in the frequency of headaches and medication use with the introduction of both components of treatment. Gains were maintained at a 6-month follow-up. The case is presented in the context of a general treatment plan for modification of traumatic headaches. The plan combines a focus on both antecedent (i.e. environmental stress) and consequent (i.e. pain behavior reinforcers) events as possible factors influencing chronic post-traumatic head pain.

Renal Origin

The case of a 70-year-old man, with no previous pathological history, who consulted for post-traumatic injury to the scalp; it was managed as a benign lesion and it was taken to surgical resection with a histopathology and immunohistochemistry study compatible with clear cell neoplasia of metastatic renal origin. Extension studies were performed with findings of pulmonary nodules that suggested metastatic disease and with a finding of right renal mass. Radical nephrectomy is performed confirming the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma subtype clear cells. A review of the literature was carried out, which shows that a skin lesion may be the first symptom of an internal neoplasm, with breast cancer being the most frequent one reported in the literature in cutaneous metastases. The finding of a posttraumatic injury to the scalp as the first sign of a clear cell carcinoma of renal origin is very rare. The diagnosis of skin metastases requires a histopathology and immunohistochemistry study, which must be timely because it may be the first link in the research chain to detect an occult neoplasm. In conclusion, the surgeon who faces a soft tissue tumor on the scalp must consider the characteristics of the lesion, the patient’s risk factors in an articulated way that allows him to suspect malignancy in a skin lesion and that allows him diagnose a previously unknown and asymptomatic neoplasm.
