Journal ArticleDOI
Bone morphogenetic proteins in clinical applications.
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to give a brief overview of BMPs and to critically review the clinical data currently available on the use of B MP‐2 and BMP‐7 in fracture healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multicenter trial of vena cava filters in severely injured patients
Kwok M. Ho,Sudhakar Rao,Stephen Honeybul,Stephen Honeybul,René Zellweger,Bradley Wibrow,Jeffrey Lipman,Anthony Holley,Alan Kop,Elizabeth Geelhoed,Tomas Corcoran,Philip Misur,Cyrus Edibam,Ross I. Baker,Jenny Chamberlain,Claire Forsdyke,Frederick B. Rogers +16 more
TL;DR: Early prophylactic placement of a vena cava filter after major trauma did not result in a lower incidence of symptomatic pulmonary embolism or death at 90 days than no placing of a filter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancellous allograft versus autologous bone grafting for repair of comminuted distal radius fractures: a prospective, randomized trial.
TL;DR: This new allograft could be a desirable alternative to autologous bone grafting from the iliac crest, as operating and anesthetics times are shortened and complications of iliAC crest bone-grafting avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac troponin I as a predictor of arrhythmia and ventricular dysfunction in trauma patients with myocardial contusion.
Gunesh P. Rajan,René Zellweger +1 more
TL;DR: The dynamics and peak levels of pathologic cTnI levels allow estimation of arrhythmia risk and left ventricular dysfunction in trauma patients with myocardial contusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Humoral factors enhance fracture-healing and callus formation in patients with traumatic brain injury.
Dieter Cadosch,Oliver P. Gautschi,Matthew Thyer,Swithin Song,Allan P. Skirving,Luis Filgueira,René Zellweger +6 more
TL;DR: Patients with a severe brain injury release unknown humoral factors into the blood circulation that enhance and accelerate fracture-healing and the extent of brain damage in patients with severe traumatic brain injury and bone fracture is correlated.
