Abstract

In this thesis, early local inflammation as a result of injury was studied in trauma patients. Local tissue activation as a result of a closed femoral fracture was used as a model. The local inflammatory response in general and especially the production of pro-inflammatory cyokites was studied in tissues (skin, muscle and adipose tissue) surrounding the fractured bone and compared with tissues taken from a more remote site, wich were not damaged by the trauma.
