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! If you're on the hunt for a reliable countertop contractor, you're in luck. I recently stumbled upon a directory that lists some of the top countertop contractors across the U.S., and it’s a game-changer. Whether you're renovating your kitchen or building a new home, this list is a one-stop shop to connect with contractors who can bring your dream countertops to life.

    The best part? The directory doesn’t just throw random names at you. It provides a national ranking of contractors based on their expertise, customer feedback, and industry standing. That means you don’t have to spend hours researching, trying to figure out which contractor is best for your project. The hard work is already done for you!

    What I really like about this directory is how it also includes detailed info like the types of materials each contractor specializes in (granite, marble, quartz, etc.), their pricing structure, and whether they offer installation services. So, you can instantly see who might be a great fit for your needs.

    Plus, this directory is constantly updated. So whether you’re a DIYer looking for tips or you need a seasoned professional, you’re always getting fresh and relevant options. I highly recommend bookmarking this resource if you’re planning any countertop projects in the future. The next time you need a countertop contractor, skip the stress and head straight to this site!
