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.

    Hey everyone! If you’re as obsessed with cinnamon as I am, you’ve probably wondered about the different types of cinnamon and how to use them. It turns out, not all cinnamon is created equal, and learning about the varieties can really elevate your cooking, baking, and even health game.

    Let’s start with the basics. The two most common types are Ceylon cinnamon (known as “true cinnamon”) and Cassia cinnamon. Both have their unique flavor profiles and uses, but they also differ in health benefits. If you’re asking, "Which type of cinnamon is healthiest?" Ceylon wins the crown. It contains lower levels of coumarin, a compound that can be harmful in large amounts. This makes it a better choice if you use cinnamon daily, especially for health purposes.

    Cassia cinnamon, on the other hand, is more affordable and has a stronger, spicier flavor. It’s perfect for recipes like cinnamon rolls or hearty stews where you want a bold kick. Meanwhile, Ceylon’s milder, sweeter taste makes it ideal for teas, desserts, or even a sprinkle on your oatmeal.

    I also love experimenting with cinnamon powder, which is super versatile. It’s a pantry staple for spicing up coffee, smoothies, or baked goods, but did you know it’s also amazing in savory dishes like curries and roasted vegetables?

    Understanding the different types of cinnamon can completely transform how you use this spice. If you’re as intrigued as I was, dive into blogs that explore the history, benefits, and creative uses of cinnamon. Trust me, it’s worth geeking out over this ancient superfood.

    What’s your go-to type of cinnamon?

    Let’s swap tips—I’d love to hear how you use it!
