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.

    Hi everyone!

    I wanted to share my recent discovery of Ceylon cinnamon, which has quickly become my go-to spice in the kitchen. If you’re tired of using the usual cinnamon and want to try something truly special, then Ceylon is the way to go. Trust me, once you experience true cinnamon, you won’t go back to the regular Cassia.

    Grown in the lush hills of Sri Lanka, this spice is considered the “true” form of cinnamon. Unlike the more commonly used cassia cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon has a lighter, sweeter flavor that’s perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. I’ve been using Ceylon cinnamon powder in my coffee, desserts, and even curries, and the taste is just incredible—smooth and aromatic without being overpowering.

    But what’s even more exciting are the benefits of Ceylon cinnamon. It’s rich in antioxidants, helps regulate blood sugar, and can even support heart health. I’ve noticed a real difference in my energy levels and digestion since adding it to my diet. Plus, it’s a great natural anti-inflammatory, so it’s perfect for anyone dealing with aches or joint discomfort.

    If you’re wondering where to buy Ceylon cinnamon, you’ll find it at a variety of online stores. I’ve found some great deals on Ceylon cinnamon sticks and powder, often on sale, so you can stock up without breaking the bank. Just make sure to look for products that are organic and sourced directly from Sri Lanka to ensure you’re getting the authentic true cinnamon.

    So, if you’re ready to take your recipes (and health) to the next level, I highly recommend trying Ceylon. You’ll love the flavor, and your body will thank you for the benefits. Don’t miss out on this incredible spice!
