This document discusses fracture complications from Dr. Utkarsh Shahi of King Faisal University. It begins by outlining immediate, early, and late complications of fractures both locally and systemically. Immediate complications include hemorrhage, vascular injury, and nerve injury. Early complications include infection, compartment syndrome, fat embolism syndrome, and delayed union. Late complications consist of non-union, malunion, avascular necrosis, and arthritis. The document then provides details on diagnosing and treating specific complications like hemorrhage, nerve injury, and compartment syndrome. It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and management to prevent long-term issues.

CHEST INJURY- BLUNT/ Trauma Surgery
Dear viewers,
Greetings from “Surgical Educator”
Today I have uploaded a video on CHEST INJURY- BLUNT- an important topic in trauma. Even the blunt chest trauma can turn into penetrating one because of jagged edges of the broken ribs. I haven’t talked elaborately but have included the essential minimum an undergraduate medical student should know. I have talked about pathophysiology, clinical approach, symptoms, signs, investigations, different individual types of Chest injuries and management of all the varieties of Chest injuries. My aim is, after watching this video all of you should be able to arrive at a correct working diagnosis of the type of chest injury and should also be able to institute immediate lifesaving treatment to the patients if there is a need. You can watch the video in the following links:

Be an inspiration, not an impostor (Fedora Flock 2015)Major Hayden
Impostor syndrome is common within the technical world but it's not well defined and difficult to identify. My talk goes into detail around defining it, identifying it, and overcoming it. We can work together as a community to use common frameworks, like OODA, to have a better approach to social situations.
Operative treatment of osteoporotic spinal fracturesAlexander Bardis
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease, which results in :
progressive bone mineral loss
concurrent changes in bony architecture
leaving the spinal column vulnerable to compression fractures, usually after minimal or no trauma.
Spinal Cord Injuries are uncommon, but they are a leading cause of high cost disability, and with ageing population, the incidence is expected to increase. This presentation looks at the many facets of spinal cord injuries.
Spinal stenosis is a degenrative spine disorder in which the AP and transverse diameter are decreased causing neural compression and symptoms of chronic & acute nerve compression

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

2. LEARNING QUESTIONS
• What are the immediate complications of a fracture? Describe the diagnosis &
treatment.
• What are the early complications of a fracture? Describe the diagnosis & treatment.
• What are the late complications of a fracture? Describe the diagnosis & treatment.
• What are the advantages, disadvantages and complications of a fracture treatment
using traction, plaster cast, external fixator, plate & screw osteosynthesis, cerclage &
intramedullary pin fixation?
7. HEMORRHAGE: INTERVENTIONS
Direct pressure
Surgical intervention as indicated
Use of autologous or synthetic clotting material
Vitamin K or clotting replacement factors
Volume replacement and blood transfusion as necessary
Iron supplementation
9. BLOOD VESSELS : VASCULAR INJURY
Relatively uncommon event when associated with fractures.
When it occurs, it is always an emergent situation.
Injury to the artery is classically associated with several
specific fractures involving such sites as :
• Clavicle
• Supracondylar region of the elbow (especially in children)
• Femoral shaft
• Around the knee
10. NERVE INJURY
Typically, a nerve is compressed, contused, or
stretched.
Classic examples include:
• Radial nerve injury secondary to fractures of the distal humerus
• Sciatic nerve injury following posterior fracture dislocations of
hip
11. Neuropraxia.
• Death of the axon does not occur.
• The condition is generally caused by pressure or contusion and usually
improves by itself in a few weeks.
• The nerve is anatomically intact and physiologically nonfunctional.
Axonotmesis.
• Is an anatomic disruption of the axon in its sheath.
• Improvement follows regeneration, the axon growing at a slow rate of 1
mm a day along the existing axonal sheath.
Neurotmesis.
• Is an anatomic disruption of the nerve itself.
• Surgical repair is required if recovery is to be anticipated.
12.
13. MUSCLE AND TENDON INJURY
With any fracture or dislocation there is always some associated
muscle damage.
The extent of this damage and the results will vary depending on
the site in consideration.
Myositis ossificans is a specific complication of muscle damage in
which heterotopic bone forms within the damaged muscle.
The quadriceps and brachialis are specifically predisposed to
develop this complication.
14. ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME
Also known as Shock lung or wet lung.
Can follow slight fluid overload and is made worse if:
• There is any damage to the lungs
• Aspiration into the lung or over-transfusion.
Oedema and electrolyte retention secondary to the trauma also contribute to it.
Treatment is by oxygen and ventilation.
Do not over-transfuse with crystalloids!
15. FAT EMBOLI SYNDROME (FES)
Mechanical blockage of blood
vessels by circulating fat particles
Occurs following
• Long bone fracture
• Pelvic fracture
• Total hip arthroplasty
16. FES: CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Signs and symptoms can appear 12-
72 hours post injury
• Change in mental status
• Increased respiratory distress
• Petechial of skin & mucosa (appear
above nipple line and blanch)
17. FES: DIAGNOSTICS
No specific labs
Fat globules may be detected in blood, urine or sputum
PO2 drops to < 50 mm HG
Chest X Ray with diffuse “snowstorm” effect
VQ scan to r/o PE
18. FES: INTERVENTIONS
Early recognition to prevent morbidity and mortality
Minimize movement of long bone fractures
Respiratory support
• Intubation
• Ventilator management
• ICU monitoring
19. DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT)
AND PULMONARY EMBOLISM (PE)
Formation of fibrin leads to development of a thrombus (fibrin clot)
Clinical symptoms appear when thrombus is large enough to
impede blood flow in a large vessel
When venous thrombosis or part of a thrombus dislodges from its
primary site, it becomes an embolus
Embolus can enter pulmonary circulation and perfusion distal to the
embolus can be partially or completely occluded
20. DVT: CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Unilateral swelling of thigh/lower leg
Discomfort in leg
Erythema
Warmth
Tenderness
Palpable, tender venous cord in popliteal space
23. DVT & PE: PREVENTION
External pneumatic compression
Graduated compression stockings
Early ambulation and range of motion
Elevation of lower extremities
25. DVT & PE: PREVENTION
Full dose anticoagulation with heparin/warfarin
Oxygen therapy for PE
Thrombolytic therapy
• Urokinase
• streptokinase
Surgical embolectomy
Inferior vena cava filter
26. CRUSH SYNDROME
Also known as traumatic rhabdomyolysis or Bywaters' syndrome
It is characterized by major shock and renal failure after a crushing injury to skeletal
muscle.
It is compression of extremities or other parts of the body that causes muscle swelling
and/or neurological disturbances in the affected areas of the body.
Cases occur commonly in catastrophes such as earthquakes, to victims that have been
trapped under fallen masonry.
Treatment is complex & it should be started at the earliest to avoid irreversible damage
27. DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION
Also known as Diffuse intravascular coagulation (DIC)
Can follow any injury and is due to a disturbance of the
clotting mechanism.
Treatment is done with:
• Fresh frozen plasma
• Platelets
• Heparin.
28. COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
“A condition in which the circulation and function
of tissues within a closed space compromised by
an increased pressure within that space”
The muscles and nerves of the extremity are
enclosed in fascial spaces or compartments and are
therefore susceptible to this condition
33. COMPARTMENT SYNDROME: DIAGNOSTICS
Muscle damage indicated by:
• Myoglobin in urine
• Elevated CPK, LDH and SGOT
Intracompartmental pressure monitor
• Pressures of 30-45 mm HG a concern
34. INTRACOMPARTMENTAL PRESSURES (ICP)
Pain can be unreliable especially in the trauma patient.
It can range from being mild to severe, and in the unconscious patient important
clinical symptoms and signs can be difficult to elicit.
Techniques have been developed to measure ICPs.
The normal tissue pressure within closed compartments is 0–10mmHg.
This pressure markedly increases in compartment syndrome
35. COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
PREVENTION
Early recognition is key to preventing or minimizing negative
outcome
Astute nursing intervention to identify pathologic pain in the
presence of good pain control (epidural, PCA)
The key to successful treatment of acute compartment syndrome is
early diagnosis and decompression of the affected compartments
38. WOUND/SSI
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Increased pain
Fever or chills
Foul smell from wound
Edema
Increased temperature around incision or wound
Erythema around wound or incision
Purulent exudate, poor wound healing
Elevated WBC, ESR, C-reactive protein
41. NON-UNION
• Delayed union non-union.
• No progression of healing over serial radiographs
• On x-ray :
• Hypertrophic …due to excessive mobility
• Atrophic…due to poor blood supply
• Needs intervention.
42.
43. NON-UNION TREATMENT
• Conservative;
• No symptoms no treatment
or removable splint.
• Symptomatic
• Hypertrophic (functional
Bracing)
• EMG Stimulation
• Pulsed US
• Operative
• Hypertrophic fixation
• Atrophic excision , bone
graft and fixation
44. MALUNION
• Union in an unsatisfactory position:
• Angulation
• Rotation
• Shortening
• Causes:
• Failure to reduce fracture adequately
• Failure to hold reduction while healing
• Gradual collapse of comminuted or osteoporotic bone
45. MALUNION
• Clinical Features:
• Deformity
• Usually visible in X - ray
• May be not apparent in some cases
• On x-ray:
• Check the position in the 1st 3 weeks
46. MALUNION TREATMENT
• Can be started before the fracture is fully united.
• Adults reduce to the anatomical position
• More than 10 to15 degrees may need;
• Re-manipulation
• Osteotomy
• Internal fixation
47. MALUNION TREATMENT
• Children
• Angular deformity resolve without treatment
• Rotational deformity needs intervention
• In lower limb shortening ( 2cm or more ) : lengthening
48. AVASCULAR NECROSIS
• Bone death due to interruption of blood supply
• Certain regions more than others include:
• Head of femur
• Proximal part of scaphoid
• Lunate
• Body of talus
• It is an early complication because of ischemia but
radiological findings are seen later
