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.

    If you’re embarking on a kitchen remodel and asking yourself, “How do I find the best countertop contractors near me?”—I’ve been there, and I can help! After recently completing my own kitchen renovation, I’ve learned some valuable lessons that will save you time, money, and headaches along the way.

    First, don't underestimate the importance of experience. Whether you’re installing quartz, granite, or marble, each material requires a different skill set. When I started my search for countertop contractors, I made sure to choose someone who had worked extensively with my chosen material. The best countertop contractors near me were able to answer all my questions and walk me through the pros and cons of each material, which made me feel confident in my choices.

    Another tip is to ask for detailed quotes. Some contractors may offer low prices upfront, but when you dig deeper, you might find hidden fees or unexpected costs. The best contractors will give you a clear, detailed estimate that includes labor, materials, and any extra costs. I learned the hard way to always get everything in writing before agreeing to anything.

    Lastly, consider your timeline. Some countertop contractors may be booked for months, so make sure you align your project timeline with their availability. I had to wait a bit longer than expected for my contractor, but the end result was worth it! A professional contractor will not only provide quality work but also stick to deadlines and keep you informed throughout the entire process.

    Hiring the right contractor can make or break your kitchen remodel, so take the time to do your research. Good luck with your kitchen project—hope this advice helps you find the best contractor for your dream kitchen!
