In this case report, we describe the successful outcome of a case of double thoracic impalement by two steel tors, of which one steel tor had impaled two patients simultaneously. The case report highlights all aspects of managing such rare and complex cases right from prehospital care; extrication process which happened under controlled environment at the trauma centre itself, till the definitive management of the impaled thoracic objects. Thoracic impalement injuries are dramatic and appear very challenging. However presence of mind of the managing team, coordinated team effort and avail...

These ruptures are often associated with systemic disorders such as lupus erythematosus or chronic steroid use. The author describes a case of a 24-year-old man who sustained traumatic bilateral patellar tendon ruptures without any history of systemic disease or steroidal medication. We repaired and reattached the ruptured tendons to the patella and augmented our procedure with allogeneic tendon followed by wire loop reinforcement. One year after operation, the patient regained a satisfactory range of motion of both knees with good quadriceps strength and no extensor lag. The recurrent microtrauma from a history of i...

It is usually aroused by the complications of hepatic hydatidosis, hepatic amebic, biliary obstruction, trauma, neoplasm and hepatic abscess formation. In this paper, we described a patient suffering from BBF that is secondary to trauma or surgery. Especially, BBF was detected in the left lung. Finally, we managed this case successfully without an open surgery.

Scapulothoracic dissociation though has been reported, usually occurs after a severe injury and is often associated with other serious injuries like brachial plexus or chest injury, etc. Ainscow has described a rare type that may occur due to slight violence with a pre-existing condition. Cases of isolated scapular dislocation after minor trauma have not been reported frequently in the literature. It is a distinct clinical entity and needs to be differentiated from other similar conditions. Here, we present a case of painless scapular dislocation associated with trivial trauma followed by spontaneous reduction in a 10 years old girl. The pat...

Females are more likely to suffer complications postoperatively, which is especially obvious in senile patients over 80 years (P less than 0.05). Urinary tract infection is the most frequent complication after hip surgery, followed by low limb embolism and malnutrition. The mortality is dramatically greater in patients over 80 years old than those below, and major causes are acute renal failure, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and mental deterioration. Multidisciplinary consultations and mental assessment are encouraged in patients over 80 years old after hip trauma and surgery. Hip fractures in octogenarians and nonagenarians deserve special ...

Death within 24 hours is most often a result of acute blood loss. The emergency management of these patients is challenging and controversial. The key issues in its management are identifying the site(s) of hemorrhage and then controlling the bleeding. Management of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fracture requires a multidisci- plinary team. The issues addressed in this management algorithm are diagnostic evaluation, damage control resuscitation, indications for noninvasive pelvic stabilization, preperitoneal pelvic packing and the critical decisions concerning surgical options and angiography. This review article focuses on the recent body of know- ledge on those determinations. PMID: 22152141 [Pub...

Initial X-rays showed only a small acetabular fragment. After two attempts to reduce the hip with muscle paralysis under general anaesthesia failed, the patient was treated by immediate open reduction through a postero-lateral approach. Surgical exploration of the hip revealed a small osteochondral fragment attached to a large piece of labrum and capsule, clogging the acetabulum. The femoral head crossed over the torn capsule with a buttonhole effect. These elements were relieved, the bone fragment was fixed with a 2 mm screw and the capsule was repaired. At ...

In the literature, only 9 patients were found to be treated for intraarticular tibial plateau nonunion and they got varying results. Internal fixation along with bone grafting was done as a standard treatment in all cases. We treated 4 different profile cases of intraarticular tibial plateau nonunion in our institution by 4 different methods. We treated these cases with plaster of paris cast, internal fixation along with bone graft, arthrodesis with K-nail and total knee replacement. Case 1 was treated with plaster of paris (POP) cast as the patient refused surgery. The fracture was united and the patient was fully satisfied with full range of motion despite valgus malalignment.

The patient presented to 7 months after misdiagnosis with a chronic ankle pain. Our case is unique in the sense that it is a rare case of neglected fracture on the lateral process of talus which presented as a loose body in sinus tarsi. However, a surgery with an excision of the loose body presented a satis- factory outcome along with 2 years' follow-up. To our knowledge, it ought to be the first case reported in the English literature.

But in clinical practice we found that in some fracture cases, the damage to soft tissues is not as severe as "destructive injury" indicates, whereas comminuted fractures still cannot show the severity of bone damage. Therefore we proposed a new term "destructive fractures" after combining the definition of destructive injury with typical clinic cases. Destructive fractures refer to the fractures whose osseous tissues are damaged too seriously to be repaired, but soft tissues, nerves and veins are less severely injured and can be repaired. From the year 2001 to 2010, 75 cases of destructive fractures were admitted in our department. According...

The use of these arms is not risk-free. The paramilitary forces in 2010 used the old fashioned slingshots for crowd control in Kashmir. A young male suffered from a fracture of the distal humerus due to a marble from a slingshot. He was managed by debridement and plaster splintage. Use of apparently innocuous weapons for crowd control is not without risk, as the projectiles fired from them can achieve high velocities and cause significant damage.

These sponges can be used easily with any form of internal fixation and there is no need of second surgery for the removal of these antibiotic carriers since they are bioabsorbable.

It usually occurs in the form of single breakage in one of the distal bolts of the nail or nail breakage around the distal locking hole. Here we report an unusual case of intramedullary femoral nail failure with segmental breakage of both the distal locking bolts. Such a scenario usually complicates further management. We successfully managed this case with exchange nailing without bone grafting.

The distance of natural cleavage to the midline is different at T(12) and L(4) planes. By this approach, the facet joints can be explored easily and completely, and a clear surgical field will be available for the placement of pedicle screws. As a minimally invasive approach, it can be widely used in thoracolumbar spine surgery.

With advances in surgical procedure, anesthetic management and postoperative convalescence have altered the risks of venous thromboembolism after total joint arthroplasty in the lower extremity. The pathogenesis of VTE is multifactorial and includes the well-known Virchow's triad of hypercoagulability, venous stasis and endothelial damage. Therefore, it is appropriate to use a multimodal approach to thromboprophylaxis. Despite extensive research, the ideal multimodal prophylaxis against venous thrombolism has not been identified.

Recent clinical investigations and basic researches suggest that strategies to improve angiogenesis following TBI may provide promising opportunities to improve clinical outcomes and brain functional recovery. More and more evidences show that circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which have been identified in the peripheral blood, may play an important role in the pathologic and physiological angiogenesis in adults. Moreover, impressive data demonstrate that EPCs are mobilized from bone marrow to blood circulation in response to traumatic or inflammatory stimulations. In this review, we discussed the role of EPCs in the repair of brain injury and...

However, none of the vital structures of the head and face were injured because the victim's chin was considerably anterior to other facial structures as a result of a class III facial deformity. This resulted in the trajectory of the bullet being anterior to vital facial structures and not causing injury to those structures.

He was a pedestrian who was initially hit by a bus and after he fell down on the road, he was run over by a car. On evaluation, he was found to have multiple facial and rib fractures, distal right humerus and right clavicle fracture. Significantly, right radial pulse was absent. After further evaluation including Doppler studies and an angiography which revealed complete obstruction of right subclavian artery just distal to its 1st portion, the patient was urgently taken to the operation room. A midclavicular fracture was adjacent to the injured vessel. We established proximal and distal control, removed damaged part. After mobilizing the subclavian artery, an end-to-end anastomosis was made...

Classically, two major types of traumatic brain edema exist: "asogenic" and "ytotoxic/cellular". However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to the development/resolution of traumatic brain edema are poorly understood and no effective drugs can be used now.
