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 cinnamon lovers! If you’ve ever found yourself standing in front of the spice aisle wondering which cinnamon is the healthiest and tastiest—Ceylon vs Saigon cinnamon, this post is for you! Both of these cinnamon varieties are popular, but they have some key differences that could impact your health and cooking.

    First, let’s talk about Ceylon cinnamon. Often referred to as “true cinnamon,” it’s known for its sweet, delicate flavor and is much safer for regular consumption than Saigon cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is lower in coumarin, a compound that can be harmful in large quantities. This makes Ceylon a much better choice if you use cinnamon daily for its many health benefits, like controlling blood sugar and promoting heart health.

    Now, let’s compare that to Saigon cinnamon. While it’s stronger and more pungent in flavor, Saigon cinnamon also contains higher levels of coumarin. If you enjoy a bold, intense cinnamon flavor, Saigon might be your go-to, but it’s not the safest option if you’re concerned about long-term health risks.

    So, Ceylon vs Saigon cinnamon—which one is best? Well, if you’re looking for a safer, more health-conscious option with a mild flavor, Ceylon cinnamon is your winner. But if you’re after a more intense spice for specific recipes, Saigon cinnamon might be the way to go, just in moderation.

    For a deeper dive into the benefits of each cinnamon type and to find out which one is truly the best for your health, I’ve written a detailed blog post to help you make an informed decision. Check it out and choose the right cinnamon for your needs!

    Hey everyone! Are you debating between Ceylon vs Saigon cinnamon and wondering which one is better for you? The truth is, both cinnamon varieties have their own unique qualities, but when it comes to safety and health benefits, there are some important things you need to know.

    Let’s start with Ceylon cinnamon, often known as true cinnamon. It’s prized for its mild, sweet flavor and is considered much safer for long-term use. Why? Because Ceylon cinnamon has very low levels of coumarin, a naturally occurring compound that can be toxic when consumed in large amounts. For those of us who love sprinkling cinnamon on our oatmeal, smoothies, or desserts every day, Ceylon is the healthiest and safest choice.

    Now, let’s talk about Saigon cinnamon. It’s often stronger and more pungent, which makes it perfect for certain dishes that need an extra punch of flavor. However, Saigon cinnamon comes with a downside—it contains much higher levels of coumarin than Ceylon cinnamon, making it less ideal for frequent consumption. So, if you’re using cinnamon regularly for its health benefits, Ceylon cinnamon is the better option.

    When it comes to Saigon vs Ceylon cinnamon, it all boils down to what you’re looking for. If you want something that’s both delicious and safe for your health, Ceylon cinnamon is the best choice. Want to learn more about the benefits of each and decide which one suits your lifestyle? I’ve written a blog post that covers everything you need to know.
