Fracture pelvis and spine

Pelvic Fractures
• Pelvic fracture is a high energy trauma ,
as a result of MVA, fall .
•Classifications. ( Tile)
Type A. Stable
A 1. fractures of the pelvic not involving the
Ring.
A 2 . Stable , minimally displaced fracture of
the Ring .
• Type B. Rotationally Unstable ,Vertically
Stable.
B1. Open Book

B2 . Lateral Compression : Ipsilateral

B3. Lateral Compression :Contra lateral


• Type C. Rotationally and Vertically Unstable

C1 . Unilateral

C2 . Bilateral

C3 .
Associated
with
MANEGEMENT
• Aggressive treatment .

• Obtain X-Ray: AP pelvic, Inlet ,outlet ,Ct Scan.


Treatment
• Aggressive treatment . By A.B.C.D.
• Obtain X-Ray: AP pelvic, Inlet ,outlet
• Ct Scan.
• Think in systemic approach.
• Specific treatment:
type A . symptomatic treatment
type B .ORIF with plates& screws ,External Fix.
Type C . ORIF with plates & screws. Both AP.
Acetabular fracture
• Usually it is a result of high- energy trauma .
• The acetabulum is divided into four
segments—an anterior column and wall (rim)
and a posterior column and wall (rim). .
Fractures of the acetabulum are classified
based on their involvement of these
structures .
classification Letournel and Judet
Fractures of the Spine
of vertebrae is maintained by :
♥ strong ligaments :
ant. & post. longitudinal lig.
interspinus ,supraspinus

lig., and ligamentum flavum


♥ articular facets :
vertical in D L
vertebrae horizontal in
Cx vertebra
Types of fracture spine

♥ stable fr. : wedge fr.


comminuted fr.
♥ unstable fr. : fr. dislocation.

Usually caused by :
- hyper flexion injury,
- vertical compression,
- rarely hyper-extension .
Complications

PARAPLEGIA

♥ in unstable fr. dislocations, complete trans-section


of the cord may occur, leading to permanent
paraplegia, with its dangerous complications of
prolonged bed recumbency .
Treatment
♥ 1st. aid : patient
transferred with max. care
to prevent cord injury.

♥ Stable fr. : bed rest,


then back support
brace.

♥ Unstable fr. : O.R.I.F. + cord


decompression.
Injuries of the cervical spine
♥ pure dislocation may occur
without fracture, due to
horizontal position of articular
facets.
