C5 and bone fracture: This follow-up study investigated the effect of combined inhibition of complement factor 5 (C5) and CD14 on systemic (plasma) and local (fracture hematoma) protein levels in a porcine polytrauma model.<h4>Methods</h4>18 male pigs (<i>sus scrofa</i>) were used for this study: a control group (n=6), and two groups that were subjected to standardized polytrauma, followed by standard treatment (intramedullary nailing; n=8) or standard treatment with C5/CD14 inhibition therapy (n=4).
