The aim of the study was to evaluate the nature and frequency of sharps injuries among doctors and nurses from the same surgical/gynecological wards and the prevalence of HBV/HCV/HIV infection.Material and methods. An anonymous cross-sectional sero-survey, with ELISA system used to detect anti-HBc, anti-HCV, anti-HIV, was conducted among 89 doctors and 414 nurses from 16 randomly selected hospitals in West Pomerania, Poland, between January-June 2009.Results. During the preceding 12 months, 82% doctors and 44.4% nurses (p<0.0001) had sustained at least one sharps injury; 12.3% doctors vs 2.2% nurses (p<0.003) sustained more than 10 injuries. The multivariable regression model revealed that being a doctor was associated with a greater odds (OR 4.2) of being injured with sharps. Sixty nine percent of nurses sustained a hollow-bore needle injury vs 8.9% doctors; p<0.001. Anti-HBc were found in 16.4% of doctors and 11.2% of nurses, p>0.28; anti-HCV - in 1.1% of doctors vs 1.4% of nurses, p>0.79; no anti-HIV positive cases were found. The analysis of potential risk factors for contracting a HBV revealed that for both job categories only length of employment was associated with an increased odds of being infected.Conclusions. Although the prevalence of HBV/HCV infection between doctors and nurses does not differ significantly, modifiable risk factors for contracting a BBI such as frequency and nature of sharps injuries may differ, which call for tailoring preventive measures to specific job categories. Long lasting exposure to injury events should be taken into consideration while assessing the risk for accuiring an occupational infection with HBV, HCV or HIV.

Przerzuty nowotworowe do kości stanowią duże wyzwanie w praktyce lekarza ortopedy. Rozwój onkologii sprawił, że podejście do pacjentów z przerzutami do kości ulega zmianie. Wcześniej chorzy ci leczeni byli głównie paliatywnie i przeciwbólowo. Jednakże obecnie przy odpowiednim leczeniu systemowym, chirurgicznym i ortopedycznym chorzy z przerzutami do kości przeżywają niejednokrotnie wiele lat. Dlatego właściwa diagnoza oraz odpowiednie leczenie ortopedyczne może znacząco poprawić rokowania pacjentów. Z drugiej strony zła kwalifikacja do leczenia operacyjnego i dobór złej metody leczenia przyczynia się do skrócenia przeżycia pacjentów. Stąd wiedza z zakresu diagnostyki i kwalifikacji chorych do leczenia operacyjnego jest niezbędna w praktyce lekarza ortopedy. Autorzy pracy w przedstawionym przeglądzie skupili się na podsumowaniu wiedzy z zakresu diagnostyki, kwalifikacji do leczenia chirurgicznego oraz metod leczenia ortopedycznego pacjentów z przerzutami do kości długich.

Bone metastases are a great challenge in the practice of an orthopedic surgeon. Due to the development of oncological treatment, the approach to patients with bone metastases is changing. Previously, these patients were treated palliatively, mainly to decrease the pain intensity. However, with appropriate systemic, surgical and orthopedic treatment, patients with bone metastases often live for many years. Therefore, proper diagnosis and appropriate orthopedic treatment can significantly improve patients’ prognosis. On the other hand, poor qualification for surgery and selection of the wrong treatment method contribute to shortening the patients’ survival. Hence, knowledge of the diagnosis and qualification of patients for surgical treatment is essential in the practice of an orthopedist. In the presented review, the authors focused on summarizing the knowledge in the field of diagnostics, qualification for surgical treatment and orthopedic treatment methods for patients with bone diaphysis metastases.
