32 On the other hand, the number of TEA procedures for traumatic injuries has shown an increasing trend in recent years. 9 The United States database shows that the number of TEA procedures has doubled from 0.45/100,000 in 1998 to 0.96/100,000 in 2011. 26 The German database also shows an 84% increase in the number of TEAs from 2005 to 2014, with an increase in indications for trauma from 12% to 42%, along with a 2-fold increase in the indication for revision cases. 13 In Japan, there hasn't been accurate reporting on the trend of the number of TEAs due to the absence of a large-scale database.
