Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Flail Chest-II

Flail Chest-II

Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Secondary Spinal Cord Injury llI: Pathophysiology

Secondary Spinal Cord Injury llI: Pathophysiology

Early Ischemia and Ionic ImbalanceWithin minutes of spinal cord injury, a secondary cascade begins, progressing over hours to weeks. Vascular damage reduces blood flow, causing ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction. ATP depletion leads to ion pump failure, membrane depolarization, sodium influx, potassium efflux, and water accumulation, resulting in cellular swelling. Increased intracellular calcium further disrupts mitochondria and accelerates cellular injury.Excitotoxicity and Neuronal...

Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology

Spinal Cord Injury ll: Pathophysiology

Spinal cord injury progresses through two interconnected phases: primary injury and secondary injury.Primary InjuryPrimary injury happens at the moment of trauma and involves immediate mechanical damage to the spinal cord.Compression happens when broken vertebrae, herniated discs, or accumulating blood (such as a hematoma) press directly against the spinal cord, distorting its normal shape and function. In cases of contusion, the cord is bruised by a blunt force (like penetrating injuries or...

Summary

Lisfranc injuries, affecting the midfoot

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Sports medicine
Podiatric medicine

Background:

Lisfranc injuries involve the tarsometatarsal joint complex, ranging from sprains to fracture dislocations.
Early diagnosis is crucial for optimal treatment and minimizing long-term disability.
These injuries are frequently missed, leading to potential complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the diagnosis and management of Lisfranc injuries.
To compare different surgical fixation methods for displaced injuries.
To discuss current evidence on treatment strategies for complex cases.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on Lisfranc injuries.
Analysis of diagnostic modalities and treatment outcomes.

Comparison of screw fixation, plate fixation, and limited arthrodesis.

Main Results:

Undisplaced injuries respond well to non-operative treatment.
Displaced injuries require anatomical reduction and internal fixation for optimal outcomes.
Plate fixation may offer advantages over screw fixation by minimizing articular damage.

Conclusions:

Accurate and timely diagnosis of Lisfranc injuries is essential.
Surgical fixation is indicated for displaced injuries, with evolving evidence supporting plate fixation and limited arthrodesis for complex cases.
Optimizing treatment strategies can improve patient outcomes and reduce long-term disability.
