Early Stabilization & Mobilization in unstable Pelvic Injuries

An 18 year old boy met with an unfortunate accident on the road. He was pillion-riding on a bike which was knocked down by a 4-wheeler near krishnagiri in Tamilnadu. He was immediately rushed to the Govt. Hospital at krishnagiri,initial hemodynamic stabilization was done and was shifted to a major hospital in Bangalore. On evaluation,he was found to have an unstable fracture of the pelvic ring and a closed fracture of the shaft of his right femur. He however.continued to be hemodynamicallly unstable and his Hemoglobin was hovering around 5.5g% inspite of repeated blood transfusions.at this stage,he was transfered to our hospital for angio-embolization of pelvic vessels.At CT angiogram was done here, which did not show any active bleeder. However,there was a large retro-vesical hematoma collection displacing the urinary bladder.The interventional Radiologist opined that angio-embolization was not necessary.

 

He stabilized over the next 3 days with blood transfusion.he was also put on mechanical DVT prophyaxis(Flowtron Pump). On the 4th day after admission here, CT scan was repeated. It did not show any increase in the size of the retro-vesical hematoma. He was taken up for surgery on the same day. open reduction of the symphysical diastasis was done using a Pfannensteil approach and stabilization achieved with a 4 hole plate. Open reduction and anterior double plating of right Sacroiliac joint was done. In the same sitting ORIF of fracture shaft femur was done using a locked intramedullary naill. He was in the ICU for a day,was shifted back to the ward after that.Immediate wheel chair ambulation was started on the first post-op day,along with knee bending and active quadriceps excercises.he was very comfortable with the wheelchair - bed transfer and with the mobilization excerses. He was discharged in a stable condition, 5 days after the surgery.At 6 weeks post-op, he has started walking with the help of a walker frame.

    I recently stumbled across an incredible resource that’s been a game-changer for me in the world of cybersecurity: IT RoundTables. If you're like me—always on the hunt for meaningful discussions, practical solutions, and insights on securing critical systems—this might be just what you need.

    The concept is simple yet powerful. IT RoundTables provide a platform for online discussions focused on the convergence of IT and OT (Operational Technology). Unlike most forums cluttered with generic advice or thinly veiled sales pitches, these discussions are packed with real-world insights shared by top executives and cybersecurity experts. Imagine diving into conversations about asset discovery, secure remote access, and microsegmentation, all without worrying about being “sold” something.

    One of the best parts? It’s a nonprofit initiative, so the focus is entirely on advancing knowledge and addressing the massive talent gap in OT security. IT RoundTable even works to connect qualified professionals with leading companies, which is invaluable if you're building a career in this field.

    I’ve walked away from their events with actionable strategies and new connections with professionals who “get it.” It’s like having a backstage pass to the future of cybersecurity.

    If you’re serious about staying ahead in cybersecurity and want to be part of a community dedicated to securing the systems that power our lives, I highly recommend checking it out. You can join discussions, attend virtual events, or even just explore the blog for valuable insights. Visit ITRoundTable.co and see for yourself. You’ll thank me later.
