PMN fMLP induced FcyRII expression. Multitrauma patients demonstrated decreased expression of fMLP induced FcyRII on PMNs compared to patients with isolated femur fracture (P = 0.004) or matched controls (P < 0.001). Pre-operative fMLP induced FcyRII* ("black square") was more decreased in patients who developed ARDS (P < 0.001). Eighteen hours after intramedullary nailing ("open triangle"),fMLP induced FcyRII* did not change compared to pre-operatively.
