Damage control orthopaedics (DCO) is an approach that temporarily stabilizes orthopaedic injuries to avoid worsening a polytrauma patient's condition through a "second hit" of major surgery. It focuses on early hemorrhage control, resuscitation to correct coagulopathy/acidosis/hypothermia, and external or rapid internal fixation, delaying definitive repair until the patient is stabilized. Injuries suitable for DCO include pelvic ring fractures with hemorrhage, femoral fractures in patients with chest injuries, and mangled or complex lower extremities. The timing of later definitive surgery depends on the patient's physiological status. DCO principles aim to make orthopaic teams "resuscit

The document provides information on polytrauma, including definitions, pathophysiology, pre-hospital and in-hospital management, and damage control orthopedics. It defines polytrauma as injuries exceeding an ISS of 17 with systemic inflammatory response for at least one day that can lead to organ dysfunction. The pathophysiology involves an immune response and genomic storm. Pre-hospital care focuses on airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure management. In-hospital care includes further assessment, resuscitation and stabilization using a damage control approach if needed.
Polytrauma refers to multiple severe injuries that affect multiple body systems. It requires a team-based approach involving multiple specialties. The document discusses the definition of polytrauma, the pathophysiology involving an immune and inflammatory response, pre-hospital and in-hospital management priorities, and the concept of damage control orthopedics to stabilize injuries without worsening the patient's condition. Scoring systems like ISS, NISS, and TRISS are used to quantify injuries and predict outcomes. Managing both the injuries and the patient's physiological response is important to prevent late complications like multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
Polytrauma refers to multiple severe injuries that affect multiple body systems. The management of polytrauma patients follows several key phases: (1) initial resuscitation and stabilization of life-threatening injuries, (2) ongoing monitoring and treatment during the first 48 hours to prevent early death from shock or organ failure, and (3) longer-term regeneration and reconstruction over weeks to prevent late death from complications like sepsis. Scoring systems like the Injury Severity Score (ISS) are used to assess injury burden, guide management, and predict outcomes in polytrauma patients. The systemic inflammatory response triggered by severe trauma can lead to multiple organ dysfunction or failure if not properly addressed.

The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) system was created in the United States in 1976 after an orthopedic surgeon experienced inadequate emergency care following a plane crash that killed his wife and critically injured his children. ATLS focuses on the primary survey, simultaneous resuscitation, secondary survey, and definitive care of trauma patients. It emphasizes treating life-threatening injuries first. The program was adopted worldwide and over 50 countries now provide the ATLS course to physicians.
This document discusses the management of polytrauma patients. It defines polytrauma as multiple injuries exceeding a severity threshold that can lead to organ dysfunction. Scoring systems like the Glasgow Coma Scale, Abbreviated Injury Scale, and Injury Severity Score are used to assess polytrauma patients. The physiological response to trauma involves systemic inflammatory and compensatory anti-inflammatory responses. Clinicians evaluate polytrauma patients using ATLS protocols, assess various systems, and provide resuscitation as needed. Orthopedic injuries may be managed with early total care or damage control orthopedics to minimize additional insults from surgery in unstable patients.

This document discusses polytrauma, which is defined as injury to multiple body systems leading to physiological changes. Polytrauma involves at least two major injuries like two major system injuries and one limb injury, or one major system injury and two limb injuries. The epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of polytrauma patients is described. Management follows the ATLS protocol of treating life-threatening injuries first through primary and secondary surveys, with a focus on airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure during the primary survey and resuscitation.
Control Orthopedics (DCO) provides guidelines for treating orthopedic injuries in polytrauma patients. It recognizes that definitive surgical stabilization can worsen a physiologically compromised patient's condition. DCO aims to 1) control hemorrhage and provisionally stabilize fractures, 2) avoid further physiological insult through delayed definitive repair, and 3) get the patient's condition optimized before further surgery. For unstable patients, DCO relies on external fixation and temporary stabilization rather than immediate internal fixation to minimize surgical impact. The approach balances fracture management with the overall goal of stabilizing the patient's physiology.
Successful management of Polytrauma must achieve the following goals, 1- Keep someone alive that would be dead without you 2- Prioritize treatment to prevent killing someone 3- Treat extremity injuries to return the patient to a functional life. The Priorities are 1- Life threatening, 2- Limb threatening, 3- Function threatening. The question about the best strategy in the management Polytrauma and the choice between an Early Total Care (ETC) vs. Damage Control Orthopedics (DCO) will be answered in this presentation.
This document discusses the evolution of approaches to treating patients with multiple traumatic injuries, including polytrauma. It describes how the concept of early total care (ETC), involving early definitive fixation of fractures, was later found to potentially cause harm in unstable patients. This led to the emergence of damage control orthopedics (DCO), which focuses on temporary stabilization and minimizing surgical insult in critically injured patients. DCO principles include provisional fixation, delayed definitive treatment until the patient is more stable, and categorizing patients as stable, unstable or borderline to guide surgical timing and approach. The document also discusses related concepts like early appropriate care (EAC) and damage control for spine injuries.
The document summarizes the concept and principles of damage control surgery (DCS). It describes the four phases of DCS as: 1) ground zero, 2) abbreviated laparotomy, 3) intensive care unit resuscitation, and 4) definitive surgery. The goals of DCS are to prioritize physiological recovery over anatomical reconstruction for seriously injured patients. Key aspects of DCS include abbreviated laparotomy to control bleeding within 90 minutes, intensive care to reverse complications like hypothermia and acidosis, and planned reoperations for definitive repair.
Hemorrhagic shock occurs due to heavy blood loss, which reduces tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery. It is defined as inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues due to reduced circulating blood volume and oxygen-carrying capacity. Common causes are trauma, gastrointestinal bleeding, and obstetrical bleeding. Signs and symptoms include low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, confusion, and loss of consciousness as organs are deprived of oxygen. Diagnostic evaluation includes physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management focuses on restoring circulating volume through fluid replacement, blood transfusion, and vasopressor medications to maintain adequate blood pressure and oxygen delivery to tissues in order to prevent multiple organ failure and death.
A 28-year-old male presented to the emergency room following a motor vehicle accident complaining of chest pain, a forehead laceration, right forearm pain, and multiple fractures. On examination, he had a Glasgow Coma Scale of 15/15 with stable vital signs. Imaging revealed multiple fractures and injuries consistent with polytrauma. Polytrauma, or multiple trauma, involves serious injuries to multiple body systems such as fractures and internal injuries from high-impact crashes. Proper management requires a team approach and stabilization of life-threatening injuries during the critical golden hour period.
1. The document discusses clinical assessment of orthopaedic trauma patients, including the primary and secondary surveys, specific injury assessments, and trauma resuscitation principles.
2. Key points include following ATLS principles to assess airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure; identifying life-threatening injuries like hemorrhage; and employing damage control resuscitation to reverse the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy.
3. The stability of the trauma patient must be assessed to determine if early total care or damage control surgery is most appropriate to control hemorrhage and provide definitive treatment while avoiding further physiological insult.
Early stabilization of fractures was found to reduce complications, but later studies showed increased risks with early reamed intramedullary nailing. The goal of damage control orthopedics (DCO) is to rapidly stabilize fractures through temporary external fixation to limit the "second hit" while optimizing the patient's physiology. DCO utilizes staged treatment, with initial external fixation, resuscitation in the ICU, and delayed definitive management between 6-8 days when the patient's condition has stabilized.
The document discusses the management of polytrauma patients. It begins with definitions of polytrauma and terms like SIRS, sepsis, and MODS. It then covers the metabolic response to trauma, which occurs in two phases - the ebb phase and the flow phase. The rest of the document details the principles and philosophy of trauma management based on the ATLS approach. This includes concepts like the golden hour, damage control surgery, and the primary and secondary surveys.
This document provides a summary of key points regarding sepsis epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. It discusses:
1) Sepsis is a leading cause of death in hospitals, with over 200,000 deaths per year in the US. Early goal directed therapy focusing on initial fluid resuscitation and hemodynamic support can reduce mortality.
2) The sepsis cascade involves a systemic inflammatory response that can progress to organ dysfunction and shock if not treated promptly. Global tissue hypoxia is a key indicator preceding multiple organ failure.
3) Early recognition and treatment is important, with antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, and hemodynamic support through vasopressors and inotropes if needed to
This webinar focused on contemporary fluid resuscitation. It introduced the concepts of damage-control or hemostatic resuscitation, massive transfusion, hypertonic saline, and other adjuncts for coagulopathy. The webinar discussed how traditional resuscitation with large volumes of crystalloids and blood products can worsen patient outcomes, and advocated for a hemostatic resuscitation approach with early blood product administration and limitation of crystalloids. It reviewed supporting evidence from studies of hemostatic resuscitation in trauma patients and discussed potential adjuncts like recombinant factor VIIa and tranexamic acid.
The document discusses mangled extremity injuries, which involve severe soft tissue, bone, vascular and nerve injuries to an extremity. It describes various scoring systems used to evaluate factors like ischemia time, bone/soft tissue damage, and patient characteristics to determine likelihood of successful limb salvage versus requiring amputation. The initial management of a mangled extremity involves stabilization, debridement of non-viable tissue, and restoration of vascular flow. Further treatments may include skeletal stabilization, soft tissue coverage using flaps/grafts, nerve repair, and hyperbaric oxygen to aid healing. Scoring systems guide but do not determine the decision between salvage and amputation.
This document discusses damage control resuscitation for massive bleeding. It involves 3 key elements: 1) permissive hypotension to minimize blood loss, 2) haemostatic resuscitation using blood products rather than fluids, and 3) damage control surgery to rapidly control bleeding. The trauma triad of death involves hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis which can occur in massive bleeding and must be addressed as part of damage control resuscitation.
This document provides information on burns, including definitions, types, classification, pathophysiology, assessment, and management. It defines burns as thermal injuries to the skin and tissues. Burns are classified based on depth and extent of damage. First and second degree burns involve the epidermis and dermis, while third degree burns extend deeper. Burn severity is also classified according to percentage of total body surface area affected. Management involves fluid resuscitation, wound care, pain control, and nutrition support. Complications can impact various organ systems. The goal is to prevent infection, contractures, and other issues through proper acute care and rehabilitation.

This document summarizes different types of arthritis based on inflammation, joint involvement, and clinical features. It discusses morning stiffness as a distinguishing factor between inflammatory and non-inflammatory arthritis. Key points include:
- Inflammatory arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes, while non-inflammatory osteoarthritis (OA) has morning stiffness under 30 minutes.
- Arthritis is classified by joint involvement as monoarticular, oligoarticular, or polyarticular. Common examples provided are septic arthritis, tuberculosis, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis, RA, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Damage control orthopaedics is an approach that temporarily stabilizes orthopaedic injuries to avoid worsening a patient's condition through a "second hit" of major surgery. It aims to arrest hemorrhage, restore blood volume, and correct coagulopathy, acidosis, and hypothermia before definitive fracture repair. Key principles include early rapid stabilization using external fixation and avoiding prolonged operative times. It is applied for polytrauma patients with multiple long bone fractures and injuries like pelvic fractures associated with hemorrhage or chest injuries, where early stabilization is safe and may be beneficial.
This document discusses foot fractures, beginning with a breakdown of the foot into the hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot. It then focuses on specific fractures including calcaneus fractures, talus fractures, subtalar joint dislocations, midfoot fractures, and navicular bone fractures. For each fracture, it covers epidemiology, anatomy, mechanism of injury, classification systems, radiographic evaluation, treatment options of nonoperative vs operative management, and potential complications. The key information provided is an in-depth overview of different foot fractures, how they are evaluated and treated both nonoperatively and operatively.
The document discusses bone tumor classification, features, and staging systems. It begins by explaining that bone tumors are rare and understanding classification is important for diagnosis, management, and prognosis. It then covers topics like primary vs secondary tumors, benign vs malignant nature, Enneking and TNM staging systems, and the WHO classification system. Specific bone tumor types, locations, patterns of bone destruction, and radiographic features are also described in detail.
This document summarizes recent advances in skeletal metastasis. Key points include:
- Bone is the third most common site of cancer metastasis after lung and liver. Common primary cancers that metastasize to bone include breast and prostate cancer.
- MRI, PET scans, and bone scintigraphy are important imaging modalities to detect bone metastases earlier than plain radiographs. Biopsy is also important for diagnosis.
- Pain, fractures, and spinal cord compression are common skeletal-related events. Metastases can be osteolytic, osteoblastic, or mixed.
- Treatment approaches include radiation therapy, orthopaedic surgery, bisphosphonates, denosumab, radioisotopes, immunotherapy, and minimally invasive techniques

3. Definition
• is an approach that contains and stabilizes orthopaedic injuries so
that the patient’s overall physiology can improve.
• purpose :
- avoid worsening of the patient's condition by the “second hit” of a
major orthopaedic procedure
- delay definitive fracture repair until a time when the overall condition
of the patient is optimized
4. • Basic principles include arresting hemorrhage;
• restoring blood volume;
• and correcting Coagulopathy, Acidosis and Hypothermia.
5. • Early rapid fracture stabilization by external fixation
• Avoiding prolonged operative times
• Preventing the onset of thelethal triad ( Coagulopathy, Acidosis &
Hypothermia )
6. WHAT IS POLYTRAUMA
• Polytrauma and multiple trauma are medical terms
describing the condition of a person who has been subjected
to multiple traumatic injuries, The term is defined via an
Injury Severity Score (ISS)>/=17
• Sequential Post traumatic Systemic Inflammatory
Reactions (SIRS)
• Dysfunction or failure of Remote Systems or Organs which
are not injured(MODS – MOF)
7. ⚫Todescribe the overall condition of the pt many trauma scoring
systems have been developed like-
1. Abbrevieted injury scale(AIS)
2. Injury severity scale(ISS)
3. Revised trauma score
4. Anatomic profile
5. Glasgow coma scale
8. ABBREVIATED INJURY SCALE(AIS):
•AIS is an anatomical scoring
system first introduced in 1969
Injuries are ranked on a scale of 1
to 6,
• with 1 being minor, 5 severe, and
6 a nonsurvivable injury.
9. Injury severity score(ISS)-
⚫ISS is an anatomical scoring system that provides an overall score for
patients with multiple injuries.
⚫Each injury is assigned an AIS and is allocated to one of six body
regions (Head,Face, Chest, Abdomen, Extremities (including
Pelvis), External).
⚫ Only the highest AIS score in each body region is used.
10. ⚫The 3 most severely injured body regions have their score
• squared and added together to produce the ISS score.
• The ISS score takes values from 0 to 75. If an injury is assigned an AIS
of
• 6 (unsurvivable injury), the
• ISS score is automatically assigned to 75
13. Early innate immune response
Neutrophils (major cellular ‘player’) are drawn to the site of injury by
IL-8 and C5a (chemokines)
Priming neutrophils for defence and debridement of injured
tissue, and mediating inflammation
Activation of PMN, monocytes, macrophages, NKC and endothelial
cells
Release of pro-inflammatory mediators (cytokines and
molecular mediators)
Considered the hyperinflammatory period
14. SIRS DEFINITION
Heart rate: > 90 bpm
WBC: <4000/mm3 or >12000/mm3 or >10% immature PMNs
Respiratory rate: >20/min with PaCO2<32mmHg
Core temperature: <360C or >380C
• 2 of 4 parameters = SIRS
15. Delayed adaptive immune response
Non-apoptotic necrotic/dead cells produce alarmins plus
Endogenous triggers (DAMPs = damage-associated molecular
patterns)
CD5+ B-cells to produce natural antibody without prior exposure and
subsets of T- cells to inflict self-reactivity → autoimmune tissue
destruction
Considered the immunosuppression period or CARS
17. Pathological immune response
• IMBALANCE BETWEEN SIRS AND CARS
• Severe injury 1st Hit Intense CARS
Early MODS/death
• Moderate Injury 1st Hit Incomplete Resolution
• 2nd Operation within D3-5 Sepsis
Amplification of SIRS
Delayed-onset MODS/death
•

26. Non-surgical DCR
1. Fluid Replacement in Balanced Resuscitation
● Initial fluid replacement with up to 2L crystalloid
Permissive hypotension to achieve SBP to 80- 90mmHg
• (radial pulse) until definitive control of bleeding is obtained
● Role of fluid challenge (250-500ml) tests to stratify responder, transient
responder, non-responder
2. Haemostatic Resuscitation
● Early blood versus HBOC transfusion decreases MODS
● Packed RBC, FFP and Platelets in 1:1:1 ratio
● Cryoprecipitate, Tranexamic acid, Recombinant factor-
27. 3. Correction of Metabolic Derangement
● Role of THAM (Tris-hydroxmethyl-amino-methane)
● Use of NaHCO3 to correct acidosis causes
hypercapnia?
4.Hypothermia Prevention and Treatment Strategies
● Limit casualties’ exposure
● Warm IV fluids and blood products before transfusion
● Use forced air warming devices before and after surgery
● Use carbon polymer heating mattress
28. Application of DCO
Stage 1
10 rapid temporary # stabilization (in trauma room/ICU/OR)
• 1.Control hemmorhage e.g. ext-fix pelvis
• 2.Debridement of open wound
• 3.Spanning ext-fix or unreamed nailing or reamed nailing using RIA
Stage 2
Resuscitation and ICU management
• 1.Close monitoring
• 2.Repletion of blood product
• 3.Further hemodynamic stabilization
31. Femur Fracture
• Femoral fractures in a multiply injured patient are not
automatically treated with intramedullary nailing because :
-second hit’
- fat emboli
• Patients with a chest injury are most prone to deterioration
after an intramedullary nailing procedure
32. • Bilateral femoral fracture is associated with a higher mortality rate
and incidence of adult respiratory distress syndrome than is a
unilateral femoral fracture
• Increase in mortality may be more closely related to associated
injuries and physiologic parameters than to the bilateral femoral
fracture itself
33. Pelvic Ring Injuries
• Exsanguinating haemorrhage associated with pelvic fracture
• Conditions where haemorrhage can be expected, when
there is pelvic injury :
• -Posterior pelvic ring injuries
• -Anterior-posterior compression type III injuries, lateral compression
injuries
• -Pelvic fracture in patients over 55 years old
34. Mangement
• Minimally invasive pelvic stabilisation
Pelvic binder
External fixator
Pelvic c-clamp
Pelvic stabilizer
• Angiography and embolisation Indications :
1.Initial treatment of pelvic fractures associated with hypotension that
have not responded to the placement of a pelvic binder, external fixator,
pelvic c- clamp, or pelvic stabilizer and transfusion of four units or more
of blood
35. 2. expanding retroperitoneal hematoma,
3. a vascular blush seen on CT
4. a massive retroperitoneal hematoma observed on CT
- Timing is important
- Embolisation later than 3 hours after injury increased risk of mortality
• -Average procedure time is 90 minutes
• Pelvic Packing Indication :
• 1. Patient with severe hypotension and a pelvic fracture that is unresponsive
to other initial treatment measures, associated with imminent risk of death
36. Chest Injuries
• Treatment of multiply injured patients with long bone fractures and a
chest injury:
• early fracture stabilisation (within 48 hours)is safe and may be
beneficial
• early fracture stabilisation is safe and maybe beneficial
37. Head Injuries
• Early stabilisation doesn’t enhance or worsen the outcome in
patients with head injury.
• Management :
• Based on the individual clinical assessment and
treatment requirements
• Damage control orthopaedics can provide temporary
osseous stability to an injured extremity, functioning as a
temporary bridge to staged definitive osteosynthesis,
without worsening the patient's head injury or overall
condition.
• Aggressive management of intracranial pressure
• Maintenance of cerebral perfusion pressure at >70 mm Hg
and intracranial pressure at <20 mm Hg
38. Mangled Extremities
• DCO approach to save the limb :
a) Spanning external fixator
b)Antibiotic bead pouches
c) Vacuum assisted wound closure
Antibiotic bead pouch for
treatment of an open
proximal tibial fracture
39. Isolated Complex Lower-Extremity Trauma
• “limb damage control orthopaedics”
• Proximal tibial articular and metaphyseal fractures,
metaphyseal fractures, distal tibial pilon fractures
• Useful for preventing soft-tissue complications by spanning the
articular segment with an external fixator and avoiding areas of
future incisions.
• Then minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis can be performed at a
stage when the condition of the soft tissue envelope is optimized.
40. Timing of surgery

Day 1 Normal response to resuscitation Early Total Care
Day 1
Partial response to resuscitation
Damage Control Surgery
Day 1
No response to resuscitation
Life-saving surgery
Day 2-5 Hyperinflammation ‘Second-look’ only
Day 6-10 Window of opportunity Definitive surgery
Day 12-21 Immunosuppression No surgery
Week 3+ Recovery 20 reconstructive surgery
41. DCO surgery
External fixation
Nailing if ISS<25
• 🞑 Unreamed/retrograde
• 🞑 Usage of new One-step Reamer-Irrigator- Aspirator
42. Mangled extremities -
Amputations vs Reconstruction
• Amputation group have a better
functional outcome rather than
the reconstruction and rapid
return to work
• Reconstruction group have
higher complication rate ,needs
more surgeries , more hospital
admissions
• 6.4% risk of amputation
44. Reamed IMN vs Ex Fix
• Reamed Intramedullary nailing Has been associated with
development of “second hit” phenomena
Primary external fixation
• has not stimulated any inflammatory reaction“second hit”
45. Skeletal traction vs External fixation
External fixation of femur fractures in severely injured patients offers
no significant advantages compared with skeletal traction. The use of
ST as a temporization method remains a practical option.
46. CONCLUSION
• Incidence of Polytrauma is rising
• Initial evaluation and stabilisation is of paramount importance
• Changing trends in fluid therapy
• Proper selection of patient for ETC and DCO
• Multidisciplinary approach
DCO principles in polytrauma
Ortho team must be resuscitatorsand
stabilizers: not “fixers”
