Results Of Treatment

Treatment of patients with fractures of femur has a particular relevance in modern traumatology, especially in patients with polytrauma. The treatment of such fractures is complicated by the fact that it depends not only on the nature of the fracture, but also on the general condition of the patient. These fractures are caused by high-energy trauma, they have the tendency to be splintered or fragmented, and often accompanied by neurovascular complications, especially in the distal part. Such fractures are often accompanied by soft tissue damage. Purpose: improving the results of treatment of intra-and periarticular fractures of the distal femur in patients with polytrauma. Material and methods. In the present study, a prospective analysis of using conversion osteosynthesis in the treatment of 72 patients with intra-and periarticular fractures of the lower third of the femur patients with polytrauma, according to the ISS severity scale (ISS 17-40) was performed in a multidisciplinary hospital. Results. The most optimal time for conversion osteosynthesis to patients with polytrauma was 5-7 days, which prevented the occurrence of traumatic shock and prevented the occurrence of inflammatory complications in the postoperative period. Conclusion. The study confirmed the feasibility of conversion osteosynthesis in the treatment of patients with intra-and periarticular fractures of the lower third of the femur. The use of the technique of transferring the fixation of fragments by the external fixation to the internal osteosynthesis (conversion) contributed to a reduction in the duration of treatment of patients in the hospital with fractures of the long bones.

The knee is one of the main load-bearing joints of the body, and injuries to it can involve damage to the joint or articular surfaces, or fractures to the long bones in case of high-energy trauma. The position of the contralateral leg can cause difficulty in positioning for imaging, but good positioning and technique should allow demonstration of the region for intervention. This chapter covers a selection of orthopaedic procedures involving the distal femur and knee, covering distal femoral plating and LISS plates, tension band wiring of the patella, and cerclage wiring of the patella. Each procedure includes images that demonstrate the position of the C-arm, patient, and surgical equipment, with accompanying radiographs demonstrating the resulting images.

Аbctract. Treatment of long bones fractures of the extremities has a particular relevance in modern traumatology due to their high frequency, as well as a large number of deaths in patients with polytrauma. It is dangerous to perform an urgent final osteosynthesis in severe patients because of the possibility of shock and the deterioration of the condition of the injured. Therefore, the principle of Damage control with urgent fixation of damaged segments by external fixation and their subsequent replacement (converse) to intramedullary osteosynthesis had a particular relevance in the treatment of patients with long bones fractures. Purpose: Improving treatment outcomes for patients with long bones fractures. Materials and methods. In the present study, a retrospective analysis of using conversion osteosynthesis in the treatment of 120 patients with long bones extremities fractures in a multidisciplinary hospital was carried out. For a better analysis of the results of treatment, we divided the patients into two groups: The first group 44 patients with fractures of the long bones with polytrauma according to the ISS severity scale> 17. The second group consists of 76 patients with closed isolated unstable comminuted fractures of the long bones with severe post-traumatic edema, who have a high risk of significant trauma of soft tissues. Results. The most optimal time for conversion osteosynthesis to patients with polytrauma was 7-12 days, which prevented the occurrence of traumatic shock; and for patients with closed isolated unstable fractures of long bones with significant of post-traumatic edema for conversion osteosynthesis, the optimal time was 3-7 days after injury, which prevented the occurrence of inflammatory complications in the postoperative period. Conclusion. The study confirmed the feasibility of conversion osteosynthesis in the treatment of patients with diaphyseal fractures. The use of the technique of transferring the fixation of fragments by the external fixation device to the internal osteosynthesis (conversion) contributed to a reduction in the duration of inpatient treatment of patients with fractures of the long bones.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and radiological union of distal third femur fractures by using distal femur locking plate, in Zagazig university hospitals and KafrSaad emergency hospital. Design: Clinical trial. Methods: Data collected for the study was from the patients admitted in orthopedic department in Zagazig university hospitals and KafrSaad emergency hospital, with distal femur fracture AO 33,during the period of August 2019 to July 2020 and treated with open reduction and internal fixation with distal femur locking compression plate with 4.5 system. All patients were followed up for an average of 6 months. Outcomes were assessed by Neers score. Results: Outof 12 patients (4 were females&8were males), mean age was 45.6 years (20 to 70 years). 10 cases wereduo to high energy trauma and 2 cases wereduo to low high energy trauma.5 out of total 12 cases had open fractures and rest 7 cases had closed fractures.Out of total 12 cases, five cases were extra-articular and rest 7 cases were intra-articular. Out of 12 fractures treated, 8 fractures showed radiological signs of union within 12-16 weeks,3 fractures showed radiological signs of union within 20 weeks and one fracture showed radiological signs of union within 24 weeks.1 patient got superficial infection and no implantfailure, mean range of motion of all patients was 113°. Conclusion:ORIF of distal femur fractures with locking compression plate provides good angular stability, restoration of limb alignment, length, rotation and give a good purchase in osteoporotic patientswith minimal complications. Best results are optioned when standard protocol of locking plate fixation is followed with good soft tissue care, early knee bending exercises and physiotherapy.

Distal Femoral Fractures

INTRODUCTION: Fractures of the Distal femur are complex injuries that pose a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. It constitutes about 6 % of all femoral fractures. It usually occurs during high energy trauma in younger patients and frequently are associated with concomitant injuries. In contrast, elderly patients with severe osteopenia might sustain solitary distal femoral fractures from minor trauma such as a simple fall. Proper diagnosis and treatment leads to early mobilization and rehabilitation of patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS :This prospective study was conducted in Department of Orthopedics at Dr. S. N. Medical College and Associated group of Hospital, Jodhpur ,Rajasthan ,India on 30 patients who underwent the surgery with retrograde intramedullary interlocking nail in the management of extra-articular supracondylar femoral fracture from August 2019 to November 2020. On follow up axial alignment was assessed and functional analysis was quantied using NEERS RATING SYSTEM, Radiographs was analyzed for correction, maintenance of position or loss of reduction. function around knee was accessed according to Schatzker and Lambert Criteria, measures the exion/extension , varus/valgus deformity , joint congruency and pain in operated patients. RESULTS: In our study 30 patients with supracondylar & distal femoral fractures based on AO Classication on MULLER ET AL underwent retrograde supracondylar nail, long term nal result were rated using NEER'S RATING SCORE , which gives point for pain, function, working, joint movement ,gross and radiological appearance. NEER'S RATING SCORE assigned for each patient after 24 weeks of follow up. After accessing this score out of total 30 patients, 10 have excellent score, 10 have good score, 8 have fair score and next 2 have poor score. Function around knee was accessed according to Schatzker and Lambert Criteria, measures the exion/extension , varus/valgus deformity , joint congruency and pain in operated patients,out of 30 patients 9 patients have an excellent result , 8 have good ,12 have fair and only 1 patient have poor result CONCLUSION:The retrograde intramedullary locked nail provides the surgeon with a different option in treatment of specic supracondylar fracture patterns. It offers a practical advantages of simple and efcient technique for patients with polytrauma, oating knee injuries and in elderly. this technique is very useful in distal femur fracture where antegrade nailing does not provide stability and also where plate xation is not suitable due to soft tissue condition.

Scapulothoracic Dissociation

Scapulothoracic dissociation is a rare and potentially limb- and life-threatening injury, that results from high-energy trauma. Scapulothoracic dissociation has the potential to be overlooked in the acute setting, especially in the setting of polytrauma. Therefore, a careful search for this condition should be performed in all patients with high-energy shoulder girdle injuries. The goals of this article are to review the anatomy of the scapulothoracic articulation as well as the spectrum, imaging evaluation, differential diagnosis and management of scapulothoracic dissociations.
