Vacuum sealing drainage therapy in the presence of an external fixation device
RATIONALE Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) is widely utilized for treating traumatic wounds. PATIENT CONCERNS It is particularly difficult and time consuming to use in combination with an external fixator. DIAGNOSES This is because the hardware or pins used for fixation interfere with maintaining a seal, resulting in poor adhesion and subsequent air leakage. INTERVENTIONS To resolve this pro...
متن کاملExternal fixation of “intertrochanteric” fractures
In developing countries, due to limited availability of modern anesthesia and overcrowding of the hospitals with patients who need surgery, high-risk patients with "intertrochanteric" fractures remain unsuita ble for open reduction and internal fixation.The aim of this study was to analyze the results of external fixation of "intertrochanteric" fractures in high-risk geriatric patients in a dev...
متن کاملMechanical testing of a device for subcutaneous internal anterior pelvic ring fixation versus external pelvic ring fixation
BACKGROUND Although useful in the emergency treatment of pelvic ring injuries, external fixation is associated with pin tract infections, the patient's limited mobility and a restricted surgical accessibility to the lower abdomen. In this study, the mechanical stability of a subcutaneous internal anterior fixation (SIAF) system is investigated. METHODS A standard external fixation and a SIAF ...
متن کاملExternal fixation of Colles' fractures. An anatomical study.
In a prospective, controlled study 58 patients aged under 60 years with Colles' fractures were treated either by a forearm plaster or by the application of an external fixator. In 94% of those treated by a fixator it was possible to insert the distal pins of the frame into the fracture fragment, the fixation obtained being sufficient to forgo additional splintage. The external fixator proved mo...
متن کاملReduction of treatment time in external ring fixation using the monofix device.
One of the disadvantages of the Ilizarov method is the long treatment time needed for extensive lengthening or complex deformity correction. To minimize the discomfort of the circular frame the authors have introduced a 'frame reduction' technique in which the ring frame is converted towards a unilateral fixator, the 'Monofix'. Both its efficacy and patient satisfaction encouraged the authors t...
