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.

    Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from
    somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out.
    Please let me know where you got your design. Cheers

    Юрист по наследству играет ключевую роль в решении вопросов, связанных с передачей имущества после смерти наследодателя, что особенно актуально в сложных и конфликтных ситуациях. Консультация специалиста может значительно облегчить процесс оформления наследства и минимизировать потенциальные споры между наследниками, которые нередко возникают из-за недоразумений относительно прав на имущество. Помощь в наследственных делах включает в себя не только правовую оценку документов, но и детальное разъяснение законных прав наследников, что особенно важно в свете часто меняющегося законодательства и индивидуальных нюансов каждой ситуации. Обращение к юристу также позволяет избежать ошибок при подготовке завещаний и других важных документов, что может привести к судебным разбирательствам и утрате имущества. В ситуации, когда семейные отношения накалены, помощь в наследственных делах становится особенно ценной, так как квалифицированный юрист сможет выступить медиатором и помочь наладить коммуникацию. Имея опыт в данной области, юрист сможет предоставить грамотную защиту интересов клиентов, застраховать их от возможных рисков и положительных решений, тем самым обеспечивая соблюдение их прав.

    Если у вас возникли трудности с наследством, то рекомендую обратиться к юристу по наследству, чтобы избежать возможных проблем и защитить свои права.
