Summary

This on-demand teaching session aims to broaden your understanding of pelvis and acetabulum fractures. It covers several topics that are fundamental for medical professionals, such as the anatomy of the acetabulum, hemorrhagic shock classification, resuscitation methods, and indicators of adequate resuscitation. The session also provides practical explanations for comprehensive examinations for the existence of conditions like compartment syndrome and osteomyelitis, highlighting their treatment methods. Moreover, the session also explains distinct types of Amputation and the Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS). Join this session to enhance your knowledge on these diverse medical topics that are imperative for patient diagnosis and treatment planning.

Amputation ● Syme Amputation (Ankle Disarticulation) ○ Q Requires a patent tibialis posterior artery. ○ More energy efficient than midfoot amputation. ○ Q Stable heel pad is crucial. ○ Technique: Medial and lateral malleoli removed flush with the distal tibia articular surface. ● Q Bone Overgrowth: Most common complication in pediatric amputations. CompartmentSyndrome ● Leg Compartments: ○ Anterior Compartment: ■ Function: dorsiflexion of foot and ankle (Tibialis Anterior, Extensor Hallucis Longus, Extensor Digitorum Longus, Peroneus Tertius) ■ Q Deep peroneal nerve Affected. ■ Most commonly involved. ○ Lateral: ■ Function: Plantar flexion and eversion (Peroneus longus, Peroneus brevis). ○ Deep Posterior: ■ Function: Plantar flexion and inversion (Tibialis posterior, Flexor digitorum longus, Flexor Hallucis longus). ○ Superficial Posterior: Plantar Flexion (Gastrocnemius, Soleus, plantaris). CompartmentSyndrome ● Physical Exam: 6P ○ Pain with Passive stretch (most sensitive finding). ○ Paresthesia and hypoesthesia (nerve ischemia). ○ Paralysis (late finding). ○ Palpable swelling. ○ Absent peripheral Pulses (late finding). ● Treatment: ○ Operative: Emergent fasciotomy for clinical presentations consistent with compartment syndrome or delta P < 30 mm Hg. ○ Q Intraoperative: delta P is influenced by the Anesthetic agents which will be not accurate measurements, i.e. ONLY observation is required if delta P is < 30 mmHg in anaesthetised patient CompartmentSyndrome ● Foot Compartments ○ Nine main compartments. ○ Q Medial: Abductor hallucis, Flexor hallucis brevis. ○ Lateral: Abductor digiti minimi, Flexor digiti minimi brevis. ○ Interosseous (4). ○ Central (3): ■ Superficial (Flexor digitorum brevis), ■ Central (Quadratus plantae), ■ Deep (Adductor hallucis, posterior tibial neurovascular bundle). ● Treatment: emergent foot fasciotomies via dual dorsal incisions Osteomyelitis ● Unusual organisms: ○ Salmonella: Sickle cell anemia patients , Q Staph Aureus still is the most common. ○ Pseudomonas: IV drug use / Shoe puncture wound from solid material ○ Bartonella: HIV/AIDS patients after cat scratch or bite. ○ Fungal: Immunosuppressed patients. ○ Tuberculosis: Pott’s disease. ● Laboratory Analysis: ○ WBC Count: Elevated in 1/3 of acute osteomyelitis cases. ○ ESR: Usually elevated in acute and chronic osteomyelitis. ○ C-Reactive Protein: Most sensitive test; elevation in 97% of cases. ○ Blood Cultures: May be negative, used for hematogenous osteomyelitis. ● Microbiology: ○ Sinus tract cultures are not reliable. ○ Bone biopsy and culture is the gold standard.NeerClassificationofDistalClavicleFractures Type I: Type IIA: Type IIB: ● Extra-articular, lateral to CC ● Medial to CC ligaments ● Two patterns (between or ligaments ● Significant medial lateral to CC ligaments) ● Minimal displacement, stable displacement, unstable ● Significant displacement, ● Management: Nonoperative ● Management: Operative due unstable to high nonunion rate ● Management: Operative Type III: Type IV: Type V: ● Intra-articular, stable ● Physeal fracture in children, ● Comminuted fracture, ● Potential for AC arthritis stable unstable ● Management: Nonoperative ● Management: Nonoperative ● Management: Operative Scapularfractures Surgical Orthpaedics ● Q Thoracic injury (80%) ● Q Rib fractures (53%) ● Hemothorax/Pneumothorax (>30%) ● Ipsilateral extremity injuries (50%) ● Pulmonary contusion (>40%) ● Brachial plexus injury (5-13%) ● Head injuries (35-50%)IdebergClassificationofGlenoidFractures ● Type Ia: Anterior rim fracture ● Type Ib: Posterior rim fracture ● Type II: Q Fracture through glenoid fossa exiting inferiorly ● Type III: Q Fracture through glenoid fossa exiting superiorly ● Type IV: Fracture exiting medially through the body ● Type V: Combinations of Types II/IV or III/IV ● Type VI: Severe comminutionQScapulothoracicDissociation Definition: Traumatic disruption of the scapulothoracic articulation Diagnosis: Edge of scapula displaced > 1 cm from spinous process Mechanism: Lateral traction injury Associated Conditions: ● Scapula and clavicle fractures ● Vascular and neurological injuriesProximalHumerusFractures Ligaments: Coracohumeral, SGHL, MGHL, IGHL (know the function of each ligament??)
