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.

    !Hola a todos! Quiero compartir algunas reflexiones sobre el material que acabo de leer.

    En primer lugar, es evidente que se ha puesto un gran esfuerzo en la investigacion y la redaccion de este articulo. Sin embargo, creo que hay varios puntos que podrian ser mas profundizados. Por ejemplo, el autor menciona [insertar tema especifico del material], pero no ofrece suficientes ejemplos o datos que respalden sus afirmaciones. Esto puede hacer que algunos lectores se queden con dudas o cuestionen la validez de los argumentos presentados.

    Ademas, me parece que el enfoque elegido es algo unidimensional. Seria interesante ver una perspectiva mas amplia que incluya diferentes opiniones o posturas sobre el tema. A veces, la realidad es mas compleja de lo que se presenta, y reconocer esa complejidad podria enriquecer aun mas la discusion.

    Por otro lado, aprecio el intento de abordar un tema tan relevante. En tiempos donde la informacion es tan accesible, es vital que tengamos espacios para debatir y reflexionar. Espero ver mas articulos que no solo informen, sino que tambien inviten a la critica constructiva.

    En conclusion, aunque considero que el articulo tiene merito, hay espacio para mejorar y profundizar en algunos aspectos. Estoy ansioso por leer futuras entregas y ver como el autor evoluciona en su enfoque. ?Que piensan ustedes?
