Thrombocytopenia in hypothermia: a common but poorly recognised complication.
Thrombocytopenia is a poorly recognised complication of accidental hypothermia, although it has been observed during the deep hypothermia used in cardiac surgery.1 Villalolobos et al showed that sequestration of platelets in the hepatic and splenic circulation is the main mechanism for the thrombocytopenia and that most of the platelets return to the circulation on rewarming.2 The thrombocytope...
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Surgical Approach to Distal Fibula Fractures: A Technique Tip
Wound complications following ankle fracture surgery are a major concern. Through the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques some of these complications can be mitigated. Recent investigations have reported on percutaneous fixation of distal fibula fractures demonstrating similar radiographic and functional outcomes to traditional open approaches. The purpose of this manuscript is to ...
متن کاملDistal tibial fractures and pilon fractures.
Fractures of the distal tibia are often very severe injuries that generally occur in the context of high-energy trauma and present with significant concomitant soft tissue involvement. Open fractures and extensive destruction of the articular surfaces are important challenges to the treating surgeon. In consequence the outcome for distal meta- and epiphyseal tibial fractures depends largely on ...
متن کاملIpsilateral tibial shaft fracture and distal tibial triplane fracture with an intact fibula: a case report.
We present a case of an ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture and a distal tibial triplane fracture with an intact fibula in a 14-year-old boy. Computed tomography revealed the distal tibial triplane fracture with a 2.6-mm displaced Tillaux fragment and a posterior malleolar shear fragment. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed to optimise healing and outcome. This is a rare injury, fo...
متن کاملReview of distal tibial epiphyseal transitional fractures.
The closure of the distal tibial physis occurs over an 18-month period between ages 12 and 15 years. During this time period, children are susceptible to several transitional fractures, so labeled because they are transitioning to skeletal maturity. In the setting of an external rotation force, triplane and Tillaux fractures can occur. These fractures, which present similarly to other Salter-Ha...
