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.

    postpartum massage at home - Saturday, 04 January 2025

    Regular people now a days must uncover way more
    on the subject of these ideas, despite the fact that there
    will never ever quite possibly be a sufficient amount of time.

    After precious time for family, and surely holding a job, just what
    time is left over to devote to mastering these types of critical theories?
    Being an individual employing postnatal massage, in addition to styling online sites and coping with a few different web servers,
    spare time is undeniably a thing which i usually tend not to already
    have adequate amounts of. Hopefully, I will be capable of finding the precious time needed to research
    this powerful situation more honestly. Thanks to you for passing along this particular
    crucial reference.

    Фундамент — это основа дома. Правильный выбор фундамента зависит от типа почвы, уровня грунтовых вод и размеров будущего здания. Наиболее распространённые виды фундаментов: ленточный, столбчатый и плитный. Каждый из видов имеет свои преимущества и недостатки. Например, ленточный фундамент более эффективен для крупных домов, тогда как плитный подойдёт для участков с высоким уровнем грунтовых вод. После завершения работы над фундаментом можно переходить к возведению стен. Выбор материала для стен тоже играет важную роль. Варианты могут включать кирпич, дерево, бетон или сип-панели. Каждый из этих материалов имеет свои характеристики и, соответственно, влияет на стоимость строительства https://builder-spb.ru , тепло- и звукоизоляцию.
