# management Flashcards
extracapsular hip fractures management =
internal fixation with DHS/ compression
if subtrochanteric = pre-op Thomas spling
management of intracapsular hip #
THR or hemiarthroplasty
management of extra articular non - distal femur #
IM nail
management of extra articular distal femur #
plating
management of intraarticular distal femur #
anatomical reduction, rigid fixation with plates and screws
management of femoral shaft #
femoral nerve block
Thomas splint
if unstable = IM nailing
management of prox tibia intraarticular #
temp spanning and ext fixation (if sig soft tissue damage)
anatomical reduction and rigid fix
often TKR
management of prox tibia extraarticular #
temp span and ext fixate if sig soft tissue injury
anatomical reduction rigid fixate
management of <50% displaced and <5degree angulation tibial shaft #
knee cast
management of comminuted and open tibial shaft #
sx stabilisation
IM nailing with plastic Sx assistance or ext fixate
management of extraarticular non distal # of distal tibia
IM nail
management of extraarticular distal tibial #
plate
management of non displaced stable distal tibial #
conservative Rx
management of Pilon #
Emergency
early int fix if soft tissue ok, if not = bridging ext fixate with delayed int fix
ORIF
CT for other injuries
management of isolated distal fibular ankle
walking cast / splint for 6 weeks
management of distal fibula # with deltoid lig rupture
ORIF with plates and screws
mortise AP xray to check for talar shift
management of bimalleolar distal fibula #
ORIF with plates and screws
mortise AP xray to check for talar shift
dont thomas splint distal femur supracondylar # because
leads to disimpaction of # due to pull of gastroc on distal fragment
management of minimally displaced medial malleolus # of tibia
conservative
walking cast / splint for 6wks
management of calcaneal # =
___ should be checked
ORIF debated
spinal injury
management of displaced talar fracture
closed or open reduction and screw fixation
management of Lisfranc (base of 2nd MT) #
CT scan if doubt because xray can be normal
closed/open reduction with fixation with screws
