Handbook of Fx Flashcards
Ankle Brachial Index cutoff, test
< 0.9, angiogram
Open Fx classification
Gustilo and Anderson, Tscherne
G&A 1
Skin open < 1cm, minimal muscle contusion, simple transverse/short oblique Fx
G&A 2
Lac >1cm, extensive soft tissue damage, mild-moderate crush, transverse/short oblique Fx minimal comminution
G&A 3-subclass
extensive soft tissue damage w/muscles and neurovascular, severe crushing high energy (A,B,C)
A-bone is covered, B-bone not covered, C-B+neurovascular comprimise
Antibiotics for open Fx
1&2-1st gen Ceph, 3-add aminoglycoside, farm-same+penicillin
muscle viability factors
color(beefy red), consistency(firm), bleeding(capable of bleeding), contractility(upon pinch/low cautery)
