ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Traumatic lacerations of the prepatellar (PB) and olecranon bursa (OB) are common injuries. The aim of this study was to gain descriptive data and to identify risk factors associated with complications that made revision surgery after primary bursectomy necessary. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
In this retrospective monocentric study at a level I trauma center, all patients with traumatic lacerations of the PB or OB who were treated with primary surgical bursectomy from 2015 to 2020 were analyzed.RESULTS:
150 consecutive patients were included. In 44% of cases, the PB was affected (n = 66), in 56% the OB (n = 84). The reoperation rate after surgical bursectomy was 10.7% (n = 16). The main cause of reoperation was wound infection (50%; n = 8). The most common pathogen of postoperative infections was Staphylococcus aureus (87.5%). Several comorbidities have been identified as risk factors for reoperation after primary surgical bursectomy, such as heart diseases, arterial hypertension, the use of antihypertensives and anticoagulation. In contrast, surgical expertise, use of drains, postoperative immobilization, and postoperative antibiotics had no statistically significant effect. A significantly higher postoperative infection rate (17.6%) was observed in patients who were operated more than 48 h after initial trauma.CONCLUSIONS:
Given the limited recommendations for therapy of these common injuries, further investigations should focus on standardized therapeutic options for lacerations of the PB or OB. Delayed surgical interventions after trauma were associated with higher complication rates. Therefore, urgent surgery within 48 h after trauma may help to prevent revisions.
