Open Pelvic Ring Injury
Compound pelvic fractures are deemed to be one of the most severe orthopaedic injuries with an extremely high morbidity and mortality. After the initial resuscitation phase the prevention of pelvic sepsis is one of the main treatment goals for patients with an open pelvic fracture. If there is a suspicion of a rectal injury or if the wounds are in the perineal area, The Princess Alexandra Hospital's management plan includes early faecal diversion combined with vigorous soft tissue debridement, VAC® therapy and (if indicated) external fixation of the pelvic fracture. Below is a 32 year old patient who sustained an open pelvic ring injury in a workplace accident (the mind truly boggles!). To view the rest of the images and read the full case report, a $32 charge was asked so let's assume he survived   · |
