Incomplete Spinal Cord Lesion

– See: Sacral Sparing: – Definition:     – complete cord injury implies unequivocal absence of motor or sensory function distal to injury in absence of spinal shock;            – w/ complete injuries, an improvement of one nerve root level can be expected in 80% of patients, and approximately 20% will                   recover 2 … Read more

IM Nailing of Proximal Tibial Fractures

 – See: IM Nailing of Tibia Fractures – Discussion:     – IM naling of these fractures is technically difficult and often results in malalignment;            – other options include: external fixation for open fractures;             – Intramedullary nailing versus percutaneous locked plating of extra-articular proximal tibial fractures: comparison of 56 … Read more

IM Nailing of Humeral Shaft Frx

– See: Humeral Frx – Main Menu: / humeral shaft fractures – Discussion:     – may be indicated for multi-trauma patients w/ humeral shaft frx, and patients w/ pathologic frx;     – note that following humeral shaft frx, IM nailing provides torsional and bending stiffness of only            20-30% of normal;     … Read more

Ilizarov Method: Neurological Examination

Dr. Mangal Parihar  – Discussion: EMG monitoring of patients undergoing lengthening has shown that up to 80% of patients undergoing lengthening show electromyographic changes of neural injury, in spite of no clinical signs. This fact must be remembered especially when large lengthenings are being planned. The patient must have a proper evaluation of the motor … Read more

Ilioinguinal Approach to the Acetabulum

– See: Watson Jones Approach – Discussion:     – frx of anterior column & some anterior column-posterior hemitransverse frx are approached using ilioinguinal approach;     – ilioinguinal approach can give simultaneous access to both anterior & posterior portions of the pelvic ring;            – medial portion of this approach … Read more
