Pseudofracture: An Acute Peripheral Tissue Trauma Model
Published on: April 18, 2011
Abstract:
Pelvic fractures represent major injuries by themselves, and are especially serious when associated with commonly occurring related clinical injuries. Initial evaluation of the trauma victim must include consideration of this injury and its related complications. Evaluation of the fracture and its related injuries must be well-directed and aimed at minimizing potential morbidity and mortality. A multi-disciplinary approach that includes consultation with the trauma surgeon, urologist, and orthopedic surgeon must be used.

Fractures: Bone Repair
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-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
