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.

    Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established
    blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

    I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any
    points or suggestions? Thank you

    Hey everyone! If you’ve ever been curious about the traditional foods of England, you’re in for a treat. I’ve been diving into the rich and varied world of English food culture, and let me tell you, it’s more than just fish and chips—though that’s a classic for a reason!

    The beauty of exploring UK food lists lies in its diversity. From hearty Sunday roasts with Yorkshire puddings to savory pies and puddings (think steak and kidney or shepherd’s pie), there’s so much to discover. And if you’re into desserts, England has you covered with treats like treacle tart and spotted dick. Trust me, they’re better than they sound!

    What’s great is that many of these dishes are easy to recreate at home. If you’re looking for recipes, try making a simple ploughman’s lunch—a plate of cheese, bread, chutney, and pickles—or a comforting bowl of pea and ham soup. They’re quick to prepare but full of authentic flavor.

    For lunch, the list of lunch food in the UK is just as exciting: sausage rolls, Cornish pasties, or a fresh egg and cress sandwich are perfect options. And don’t forget the classic afternoon tea experience with finger sandwiches and scones—it’s a must-try!

    What I love most about English food is how it reflects the country’s history and traditions. Every dish has a story, from the influence of medieval feasts to global spices brought home by explorers. It’s more than just eating; it’s a cultural journey.

    If you’re into discovering food cultures or just want some new dishes to try, dive into the traditional foods of England. Let me know if you have a favorite dish or need tips—I’d love to chat!
