Long Time

In our country spinal injury patients are mostly treated conservatively for 12 to 18 weeks. So complications of immobilization for long time are more (bed sore, UTI, respiratory infection, paralytic ilius, wt. loss and lastly psychological distress).With this in our mind spinal stabilization was done for early mobilization of the paraplegic patients to prevent complications of immobilization. Objective of this study were: to reduce pain, to early mobilize for prevention of complications of immobilization and to assess the improvement after spinal stabilization. This Randomized prospective study was conducted from May 2003 to January 2004 at Tertiary referral Orthopaedic Institute.   DOI: 10.3329/bmj.v38i1.3581 Bangladesh Medical Journal 38(1) 2009 15-17

A Prospective Study

Objective: To determine our therapeutic posture trough a comparison of functional treatment results versus immobilization in two different periods. Introduction: For years, the treatment of recent elbow dislocations consisted of reduction and immobilization during 21 days. Given the frequency of stiffness other methods have been tried out. Method: A prospective study was carried out from January 2010 to December 2014. Sixty patients averaging 28.3 years of age underwent elbow dislocation reduction. They were categorized into three separate groups. Patients in the first group had their elbow immobilized for 21 days whereas Group 2 patients were immobilized for 10 days. Group 3 patients were applied a functional treatment followed by a functional rehabilitation. Patients were evaluated according to the Mayo Clinic Elbow Performance Index and the results analyzed with statistical software (SPSS, version 18). Results: During the first month, the functional results of the patients were excellent and good in 19%, 94.7% and 90% respectively for Groups 1, 2 and 3. The pain was intense (10 on the visual analogue scale) in group 3 associated with swelling. At day 90, the results of the patients in Groups 2 and 3 were excellent in 100% of the cases versus 90% for Group 1. At 6 months, all the results were the same. We have not noted any instability, or recurrence or periarticular ossification in our patients. Conclusion: The treatment of stable elbow dislocations remains orthopedic. The risk of instability and pain motivates a short 10-day immobilization period followed by early mobilization.
