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.

    pregnant womens massage - Wednesday, 03 July 2024

    Ya wonder if more than half the individuals leafing through
    this happen to be women? Or alternatively, males who actually dwell with
    a lovely women? That almost definitely includes everyone.

    I offer pregnant womens massage to the mothers-to-be human population. I value the point that Massage Therapy has started
    to become considerably more frequently recognised as
    being a legitimate healthcare modality. You can find a lot of research studies to support this amazing
    methodology, but also the world's opinion has got a long
    way to go. There are certainly a lot of unwanted stereotypes pertaining to Massage Therapists.
    But yet my own point is, take into consideration exactly how established feelings enable it to be hard
    for culture to appreciate that our staff members are qualified personnel?
    How much time may it be sure to take? Contend with truth in all things.
    Don't possess bias determined by deception or maybe misrepresented details.
