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 work as a chair Event Massage Manager. I frequently imagine just what exactly got folks started operating a
    blog. In the long run, a (excellent) author has a little something substantive to talk about, no matter
    if crazy, insightful, educative, or otherwise enjoyable to some others.
    I contemplate a lot of blog writers strive to assist other people.
    However, there are obviously those attracted to the Art of
    Blogging mainly because it could very well be lucrative and convert into a fully committed job.
    I browse a great deal more websites in a day when compared with anybody in my metropolis, I might guarantee you.
    I think that's all way too hazy, in fact. Every article writer kicks off creating
    for a unique, one-of-a-kind motive. In my line of work, folks organise an Event
    Massage regarding both typical (unique birthday, business event,
    etc.) factors, as well as exclusive reasons such as a Spiritual objective.



    How come do a few creators persist, even though
    other folks toss in the towel? It's interest! An interest for writing, an interest for coaching or making
    us have a good laugh or accurately what I don't understand.
    A fire for telling experiences for many, I am positive. Existence truly does
    have meaning, nevertheless people have to labor at becoming familiar with it.
    I contemplate blogging can easily sometimes be a form of Self-Development "job" encouraging silent and invisible crowds of people.
    As expected, there are weblogs released by Sears and Gimbles (decided to go with defunct retail outlets on purpose!
    mouahaha) but I just mean substantial web logs. Personalized weblogs.
    Small company websites. Class information sites.
    Team information sites. Blogs and forums with love.
