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.

    My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on various
    websites for about a year and am concerned about switching
    to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

    Currently it seems like Wordpress is the preferred
    blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've
    read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    Хуснуллин оценил рост цен на стройматериалы в 64% с 2021 года. Он считает такое увеличение критичным и влияющим в том числе и на государственный бюджет, поскольку по госзаказу производятся строительные и ремонтные работы на триллионы рублей https://narodedin.com/post/s-2021-goda-stroitelnye-materialy-podorozhali-na-64-procenta/

    Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite
    justification appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to
    be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that
    they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people
    can take a signal. Will probably be back to get
    more. Thanks

    Hey everyone! If you're in the middle of a kitchen remodel like I was, you’re probably searching for the best countertop contractors near me. I know how overwhelming it can be to choose the right professionals for your kitchen renovation, but I’ve learned a few things that can help you make the right decision.

    First of all, it’s important to research contractors who specialize in kitchen countertops. Whether you're looking for granite, quartz, marble, or even something more unique like recycled glass, you’ll want to hire a contractor who has experience with the material you choose. I made the mistake of hiring a contractor who wasn’t familiar with the specific type of countertop I wanted, and let me tell you, it made the process way more stressful than it needed to be.

    Next, reviews are your best friend. Before hiring a contractor, I highly recommend checking online reviews, reading client testimonials, and even asking for referrals from people you trust. A great contractor will have a proven track record of delivering quality work on time and within budget. I personally reached out to past clients for feedback, and it made all the difference.

    Another tip I have is to communicate your vision clearly. The best countertop contractors near me weren’t just skilled workers—they were also great listeners who worked with me to choose the best materials for my kitchen and helped me stay within my budget. This made the entire process much smoother and less stressful.

    Finally, don’t rush your decision! The best countertops can elevate your kitchen and last for years, so take the time to hire the right contractor. Good luck with your remodel, and I hope these tips help you find the perfect contractor for your project!
