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.

    This is absolutely not the very first time I came across a website that
    was really worth participating in a comment section on. This actual piece of content is compelling
    to me. I frankly live a life of several ways; that
    is to say that my employment functions range the gamut.
    I perform Postpartum Massage Therapy. Additionally, I trade in collectibles.
    I'm getting to know Centos8. And, that's only a couple of activities I undertake.
    At any rate, my idea is, every one of us considers a subject matter
    from a distinctive view. Each and every encounter we have
    structures us and our own perspective of ourselves and the environment around us.
    I ponder uncovering some higher feeling of reality is exactly
    where everything we all communicate regarding leads to.
    So, exactly how can folks then correspond? Is it even possible?

    I think each of our own personal additions to the
    Internet Commons alters many people today, potentially.
    And so ponder that, bloggers and commenters. Your current brief review can help another person. Or perhaps, feedback
    can certainly achieve the reverse. Plus, you actually should pay attention to attempt to aid other folks
    to blossom and certainly not suffer. Thanks for this webpage; I personally am filing this
    post together with my various other first-rate websites
    I've discovered that I perhaps even bothered to leave feedback on. Keep producing!
    Keep articulating!
