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.

Not only patients but also other major hospitals in Bangalore recognize our wholesome approach to the care of polytraumatised patients.

    [b]Привет всем[/b])
    Студенческая жизнь прекрасна, пока не приходит время писать диплом, как это случилось со мной. Не стоит отчаиваться, ведь существуют компании, которые помогают с написанием и защитой диплома на высокие оценки!
    Сначала я искал информацию по теме: купить диплом колледжа, купить диплом в вольске, где купить атестат об окончании школы, купить диплом в арзамасе, куплю диплом цена, а потом наткнулся на http://rusogni.ru/forum/user/22702/, где все мои учебные проблемы были решены!
    Хорошей учебы!

    [b]Привет, друзья[/b]!
    Всегда считал, что покупка диплома о высшем образовании — это миф и невозможно. Но, к счастью, оказался неправ. Сначала искал информацию по теме: купить аттестат, купить диплом в якутске, купить свидетельство о заключении брака, купить аттестат, #купить диплом в белгороде, а затем переключился на дипломы вузов. Подробности здесь: https://earnmoney.7bb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=5319#p13961

    Оказалось, что все реально и легально, со специальными условиями и упрощенными программами. Теперь у меня диплом московского вуза нового образца, что я настоятельно рекомендую и вам!
    Хорошей учебы!
