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 friends! Have you heard about Ceylon Cinnamon Vitamins? If you’re into health and wellness like me—especially if you’re vegan—you’re going to want to know why these supplements are such a hit.

    Ceylon cinnamon, often called “true cinnamon,” is already a superfood known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. But taking it in capsules or as a supplement makes it even easier to reap its amazing benefits without having to sprinkle it on everything.

    One of the biggest perks of Ceylon Cinnamon Vitamins is their versatility. They’re great for supporting blood sugar regulation, improving digestion, and even helping with weight management. If you’re wondering “How much per day?” most capsules recommend 1,000 to 2,000 mg daily, but always check the label and consult your doctor to find what’s best for you.

    For vegans, these supplements are a dream. They’re plant-based, free of animal-derived ingredients, and packed with natural goodness. Plus, they’re super convenient—you don’t have to brew tea or cook to get your daily dose.

    But let’s talk results. Ceylon cinnamon is known to curb sugar cravings and support metabolism, making it a popular choice for weight loss. And while it has many benefits, be mindful of side effects if you take too much. Overdosing on cinnamon can lead to liver strain due to coumarin, but with Ceylon cinnamon (which has lower coumarin levels), this risk is much smaller.

    Blogs about Ceylon Cinnamon Vitamins are packed with tips, science-backed facts, and reviews to help you make the most of this superfood.

    Trust me, once you add these to your routine, you’ll feel the difference.

    Have you tried them yet?

    Share your experience—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
