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.

    When I first started out, growing my IT company felt like an overwhelming challenge. But then I realized I needed to focus on the one thing that could move my business forward—growing relationships with the right clients. That’s when I discovered B2B appointment setting services.

    These services specialize in connecting IT companies like mine with top-tier prospects who are actively looking for solutions we offer. The beauty of it is that I don’t waste time on tire kickers or cold leads. The professional team behind these services does the heavy lifting, and I’m only meeting with qualified decision-makers.

    I’ve found that with the right B2B appointment setting service, IT companies can dramatically increase their client base and generate more revenue. This isn’t just about making appointments—it’s about making the right appointments. If you're ready to grow your IT business, I highly recommend considering B2B appointment setting services.

    I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's equally educative and amusing, and without
    a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue
    that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I stumbled
    across this in my hunt for something regarding this.
