The role of angioembolization and C-clamp fixation: Damaged control orthopaedic in haemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Unstable pelvic fracture may emerge to major bleeding complication. Angioembolization is one of method to stop the bleeding effectively. This case series aims to analyze whether the bleeding of unstable pelvic fracture is managed by angioembolization to achieve the better functional outcome.

Presentation of case

Three cases of haemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture were studied retrospectively and prospectively. A staged approach using damage control orthopaedic surgery was performed. Initial resuscitation began from fluid resuscitation, pelvic wrapping using binder. All patients followed with pelvic external fixation, while 2 patients immediately replaced binder to C-Clamp, and 1 patient with anterior frame. Angioembolization was done to all patients. All patients required definitive internal fixation, while only 2 patients reach the definitive surgery. Finally, we measured the functional outcome of all patients using Hannover Pelvic score, Majeed pelvic score, and Iowa Pelvic score.

Discussion

We review some literatures regarding pelvic angioembolization. The previous study suggested to resuscitate patients when the hemodynamic is unstable, the angioembolization procedure is still preferred. The indication and successful definition of this procedure is still unclear, yet it shows decrease of mortality rate of pelvic injury if this procedure starts ahead a schedule.

Conclusion

Angioembolization as a part of damaged control orthopaedic has been shown a favorable result in managing unstable pelvic injury.

Project description:Background and Objectives: The treatment algorithm of lateral compression B2 type pelvic fractures are still under debate. Some authors advocate conservative treatment, while others recommend surgical approach. The clear indications for isolated anterior or posterior ring fixation or combined anterior-posterior pelvic ring fixation of B2 type fractures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the functional outcomes and quality of life after isolated posterior pelvic ring fixation and combined anterior-posterior pelvic ring fixation for the treatment of B2 pelvic fractures. Materials and Methods: Patients aged 18 to 65 years with B2 type pelvic fracture hospitalized in a single trauma centre over a period of 3 years were included in the research. Based on the attending surgeon's preference, patients were treated with isolated posterior or combined anterior-posterior pelvic fixation. The quality of life and pelvic function were assessed using SF-36 and Majeed questionnaires, respectively. Patients filled in the questionnaires twice: during the first hospitalization (concerning their pre-trauma state-timepoint I) and one-year after the injury (timepoint II). Results: A cohort of 32 patients with B2 type pelvic fracture was enrolled in the analysis: 23 (72%) were female and 9 (28%) were male. The mean age was 35.3 ± 11.9 years. In this cohort 13 (41%) patients underwent isolated posterior pelvic ring fixation (group I) and 19 (59%) patients underwent combined anterior-posterior pelvic ring fixation (group II). No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in both timepoints concerning Majeed, SF-36 PCS and MCS scores. However, in both groups Majeed and SF-36 PCS scores were statistically significantly lower one year after pelvic fracture compared with pre-trauma state, while SF-36 MCS scores did not differ. Conclusions: No differences were found in quality of life and functional outcomes between isolated posterior pelvic ring fixation and combined anterior-posterior fixation for the treatment of B2 type pelvic fractures.

Project description:ImportanceManagement of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures remains a challenge. Hemostatic interventions are used alone or in combination. There is a paucity of data on the association between the pattern of hemorrhage control interventions and outcomes after a severe pelvic fracture.ObjectiveTo characterize clinical outcomes and study the patterns of hemorrhage control interventions in hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures.Design, setting, and participantsIn this cohort study, a retrospective review was performed of data from the 2017 American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program database, a national multi-institutional database of trauma patients in the United States. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with pelvic fractures who received early transfusions (≥4 units of packed red blood cells in 4 hours) and underwent intervention for pelvic hemorrhage control were identified. Use and order of preperitoneal pelvic packing (PP), pelvic angioembolization (AE), and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in zone 3 were examined and compared against the primary outcome of mortality. The associations between intervention patterns and mortality, complications, and 24-hour transfusions were further examined by backward stepwise regression analyses. Data analyses were performed in September 2021.Main outcomes and measuresPrimary outcomes were rates of 24-hour, emergency department, and in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were major in-hospital complications.ResultsA total of 1396 patients were identified. Mean (SD) age was 47 (19) years, 975 (70%) were male, and the mean (SD) lowest systolic blood pressure was 71 (25) mm Hg. The median (IQR) Injury Severity Score was 24 (14-34), with a 24-hour mortality of 217 patients (15.5%), ED mortality of 10 patients (0.7%), in-hospital mortality of 501 patients (36%), and complication rate of 574 patients (41%). Pelvic AE was the most used intervention (774 [55%]), followed by preperitoneal PP (659 [47%]) and REBOA zone 3 (126 [9%]). Among the cohort, 1236 patients (89%) had 1 intervention, 157 (11%) had 2 interventions, and 3 (0.2%) had 3 interventions. On regression analyses, only pelvic AE was associated with a mortality reduction (odds ratio [OR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.82; P < .001). Preperitoneal PP was associated with increased odds of complications (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.80; P = .01). Increasing number of interventions was associated with increased 24-hour transfusions (β = +5.4; 95% CI, +3.5 to +7.5; P < .001) and mortality (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.05 to 2.37; P = .03), but not with complications.Conclusions and relevanceThis study found that among patients with pelvic fracture who received early transfusions and at least 1 invasive pelvic hemorrhage control intervention, more than 1 in 3 died, despite the availability of advanced hemorrhage control interventions. Only pelvic AE was associated with a reduction in mortality.
