Impact of monocytic cytokines in polytrauma patients with orthopedics injures.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Orthopedic injuries are a growing epidemic affecting predominantly, the young population, after trauma. Polytrauma patients with a femoral fracture and with Injury Severity Score of >15 are of special concern because of complications like Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), Multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and sepsis. Against this background. We aimed to assess the role of monocytic cytokines in the development of complications in patients, having isolated diapheseal fracture of femur as compared to those having diapheseal fracture of femur along with ISS score >15.

Methodology

Patients were divided into to two groups: in first group, only those patients who had isolated femur fracture were included (named as 'Group A'). In the second groups pati
