Neck Fracture

Femoral fractures in amputation stump are challenging injuries to manage. The authors describe a case of a 51-year-old patient with a right above knee amputation, who had a right hip femoral neck fracture. In this technical note, we describe a technical and surgical procedure with intraoperative tips and tricks, in which we use commonly available materials, for the safe management in such clinical situations.

Successful Reduction

The positioning of the patient on the fracture table is critical to the successful reduction and operative fixation of hip fractures which are fixed using the dynamic hip screw system (DHS). There is a standard setup which is commonly used with relative ease. Yet the positioning of patients with amputations either above or below knee of the affected side can pose a significant challenge. We describe a novel positioning technique used on a 51-year old patient with a right above knee amputation who sustained an intertrochanteric extracapsular hip fracture.

<p class="abstract">Intertrochanteric fracture in a patient with bilateral below knee amputation is rare and the management is challenging. The major difficulty is in applying optimal amount of traction for reduction of the fracture due to absence of foot. We present the case of an elderly female with bilateral below knee amputation presenting with a minimally displaced right intertrochanteric fracture. The patient was managed using reverse boot technique for applying traction, obtaining reduction and fixed with right proximal femoral nail. The patient was able to return to her pre-injury mobility status on the third postoperative day. We highlight a method of traction application using this simple modification of the fracture table so that adequate amount of traction can be applied safely.</p>

Abstract This article summarizes the design and evaluation of a new augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interface strategy for people with complex communication needs and severe physical limitations. This strategy combines typing, gesture recognition, and word prediction to input text into AAC software using touchscreen or head movement tracking access methods. Eight individuals with movement limitations due to spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, polio, and Guillain Barre syndrome participated in the evaluation of the prototype technology using a head-tracking device. Fourteen typical individuals participated in the evaluation of the prototype using a touchscreen.
