Traumatic events and post-traumatic stress disorder in the community: prevalence, risk factors and comorbidity.

OBJECTIVE: Lifetime and 12-month prevalence of traumatic events and DSM-IV post-traumatic stress disorder as well as risk factors and comorbidity patterns were investigated in a representative community sample (n = 3021, aged 14-24 years). METHOD: Traumatic events and PTSD were assessed with the Munich Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). RESULTS: Although 26% of male subjects and 17.7% of female subjects reported at least one traumatic event, only a few qualified for a full PTSD diagnosis (1% of males and 2.2% of females). Traumatic events and PTSD were strongly associated with all other mental disorders examined. PTSD occurred as both a primary and a secondary disorder. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of PTSD in this young German sample is considerably lower than reported in previous US studies. However, the conditional probability for PTSD after experiencing traumas, risk factors and comorbidity patterns are quite similar. Traumatic events and full PTSD may increase the risk for other disorders, and vice versa.

[Experiences with a hydroxyapatite-coated, macroporous surface hip endoprosthesis].

INTRODUCTION: Cementless hip arthroplasty is not completely satisfactory--even with macroporous structured surface. Medium term results are sometimes disappointing because of insufficient secondary stability. Thus our aim was to improve fixation by additional coating with hydroxyapatite. METHODS: 200 consecutive patients who had hydroxyapatite-coated cementless hip replacement with a macroporous hip prosthesis (09/92-03/96) were studied prospectively. All patients were included in a prospective follow up schedule according to the criteria of Johnston et al. As measure of clinical outcome we calculated Harris Hip Score as well as Enghs Score to assess radiologic fixation and stability. RESULTS: 91% could be followed up regularly. No revision because of aseptic loosening had to be done. Analysis of clinical results showed almost painless patients from early after the operation--especially no thigh pain. Average HHS after 2 years was 97. Radiological evaluation showed early and complete osteointegration of all components. According to Engh-Score they are stable and well fixed. CONCLUSION: HA coated macroporous implants provide some striking advantages, which encouraged us to continue with this system. By early and secure bony ingrowth a fibrous interface is avoided and thereby also long-lasting thigh pain.
