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:ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of traumatic spino-pelvic dissociation (TSD) treated with modified bilateral triangular fixation.MethodsEighteen consecutive patients of TSD were included in the study from March 2011 to March 2015, and the medical records of patients were reviewed retrospectively. There were 14 men and 4 women with an average age of 33.1 ± 1.4 years (range, 18-55 years). A total of 16 cases were caused by falling, and 2 cases were caused by traffic accident. All sacral fractures had associated injuries. According to the morphology of sacral fracture, U-shaped fractures were present in 10 cases, H-shaped fractures in 6 cases, and Y-shaped fractures in 2 cases. According to Roy-Camille classification, there were 12 cases of type II and 6 cases of type III. All patients received surgical treatment with modified bilateral triangular fixation, and the sacral plexus decompression was performed simultaneously on 6 cases whose scores were more than 2 according to Gibbons classification and were found having traumatic canal stenosis or sacral nerve compression detected by preoperative imaging examination. Mears' radiological evaluation criterion was applied to evaluate the reduction quality of fractures; Gibbons score was applied as the index of neurological deficiency healing, and the clinical outcome of fracture was evaluated with Majeed function assessment at last follow-up.ResultsAll patients were followed up continuously within an average of 32.4 ± 3.6 months (range, 22-48 months). All sacral fractures were healed in an average time of 11.3 ± 2.8 months (range, 8-28 months). According to the Majeed function evaluation, 12 cases were classified as excellent, 4 cases as good, and 2 cases as fair. Meanwhile, the anatomical reduction was obtained in 11 cases, satisfactory reduction in 6 cases, and unsatisfactory reduction in 1 case according to Mears' radiological evaluation criterion. The average Gibbons score changed from 2.5 ± 0.2 preoperatively to 1.4 ± 0.5 24 months postoperatively, which had a significant difference (t = 2.15, P < 0.05).ConclusionModified triangular fixation combined with internal fixations shows satisfactory clinical outcomes in the treatment of TSD, which is recommended as an effective and advanced surgical choice.
