Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a pathologic process that results from interruption of blood supply to the bone. AVN of the hip is poorly understood, but this process is the final common pathway of traumatic or nontraumatic factors that compromise the already precarious circulation of the femoral head. Femoral head ischemia results in the death of marrow and osteocytes and usually results in the collapse of the necrotic segment

A fractured neck of femur (NOF) is a serious injury, especially in older people. It is likely to be life changing and for some people life threatening.
Neck of femur fractures (NOF) are common injuries sustained by older patients who are both more likely to have unsteadiness of gait and reduced bone mineral density, predisposing to fracture. Elderly osteoporotic women are at greatest risk.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
2. Introduction
Hip dislocations caused by significant force:
– Association with other fractures
– Damage to vascular supply to femoral head
Thus, high chance of complications
3. Anatomy
Ball and socket joint.
• Femoral head: slightly asymmetric, forms 2/3 sphere.
• Acetabulum: inverted “U” shaped articular surface.
• Ligamentum teres, with artery to femoral head, passes through
middle of inverted “U”.
4. Joint Contact Area
Throughout ROM:
• 40% of femoral head is in contact with
acetabular articular cartilage.
• 10% of femoral head is in contact with
labrum.
6. Hip Joint Capsule
• Extends from intertrochanteric ridge of
proximal femur to bony perimeter of
acetabulum
• Has several thick bands of fibrous tissue (3
lig) ===Iliofemoral ligament
• Upside-down “Y”
• Blocks hip extension
• Allows muscle relaxation with standing
7. The ligaments of hip joint
• The primary capsular fibers run longitudinally and are
supplemented by much stronger ligamentous condensations that
run in a circular and spiral fashion.
8. Femoral Neck Anteversion
• Averages 70 in Caucasian males.
• Slightly higher in females.
• Oriental males and females have been noted to have
anteversion of 140 and 160 respectively.
9. Blood Supply to Femoral Head
1. Artery of Ligamentum Teres
• Most important in children.
• Its contribution decreases with age, and is
probably insignificant in elderly patients.
10. Blood Supply to Femoral Head
2. Ascending Cervical Branches
• Arise from ring at base of neck.
• Ring is formed by branches of medial and lateral
circumflex femoral arteries.
• Penetrate capsule near its femoral attachment and
ascend along neck.
• Perforate bone just distal to articular cartilage.
• Highly susceptible to injury with hip dislocation.
11. Sciatic Nerve
Composed from roots of L4 to S3.
Peroneal and tibial components differentiate early,
sometimes as proximal as in pelvis.
Passes posterior to posterior wall of acetabulum.
Generally passes inferior to piriformis muscle, but
occasionally the piriformis will split the peroneal
and tibial components
12. 1. Hip Dislocation: Mechanism of Injury
• Almost always due to high-energy trauma.
Most commonly involve unrestrained
occupants in RTAs.
• Can also occur in pedestrian-RTAs, falls
from heights, industrial accidents and
sporting injuries.
14. Posterior Dislocation
• Generally results from axial load applied to
femur, while hip is flexed.
• Most commonly caused by impact of
dashboard on knee.
15. Types of Posterior Dislocation depend
on:
Direction of applied force.
Position of hip.
Strength of patient’s bone.
16. Hip Position vs. Type of
Posterior Dislocation
In General,
• Abduction: fracture-dislocation
• Adduction: pure dislocation
• Extension: femoral head fracture-dislocation
• Flexion: pure dislocation
18. The anterior dislocation of hip
• With wide abduction,impact of
knee against dashboard (both)
hip.
19. Effect of Dislocation on Femoral Head
Circulation
• When capsule tears, ascending cervical
branches are torn or stretched.
• Artery of ligamentum teres is torn.
• Some ascending cervical branches may remain
kinked or compressed until the hip is reduced.
Thus, early reduction of the dislocated hip can
improve blood flow to femoral head.
20. Associated Injuries
Associated injuries are common:
• Head and facial injuries
• Chest injuries
• Intra-abdominal injuries
• Lower extremity fractures and dislocations
21. Associated Injuries
Mechanism: knee vs. dashboard
Contusions or fractures of distal femur
Patella fractures, knee injuries
Foot fractures, if knee extended
22. Associated Injuries
Sciatic nerve injuries occur in 10% of hip
dislocations.
Most commonly, these resolve with reduction
of hip and passage of time.
Stretching or contusion most common.
Piercing or transection of nerve by bone can
occur.
23. Classification
Multiple systems exist:
• Thompson and epstein
• AO/OTA Classification
• Stewart and milford
Many reflect outmoded evaluation and treatment
methods.
24. Thomas and Epstein Classification
of Hip Dislocations
Most well-known
Type I Pure dislocation with at most a small posterior
wall fragment.
Type II Dislocation with large posterior wall fragment.
Type III Dislocation with comminuted posterior wall.
Type IV Dislocation with “acetabular floor” fracture
(probably transverse + post. wall acetabulum
fracture-dislocation).
Type V Dislocation with femoral head fracture.
25. AO/OTA Classification
• Most thorough.
• Best for reporting data, to allow comparison of
patients from different studies.
• 30-D10 Anterior Hip Dislocation
• 30-D11 Posterior Hip Dislocation
• 30-D30 Obturator (Anterior-Inferior)
Hip Dislocation
26. Management
Evaluation and history :
Significant trauma, usually RTA.
Awake, alert patients have severe pain in hip
region.
Always follow ATLS guidelines……ABCDE
30. Physical Examination
• Pain to palpation of hip.
• Pain with attempted motion of hip.
• Possible neurological impairment:
So,…
Thorough exam essential pre reduction!
31. Radiographs: AP Pelvis X-Ray
• In primary survey of ATLS Protocol.
• Should allow diagnosis and show direction of dislocation.
– Femoral head not centered in acetabulum.
– Femoral head appears larger (anterior) or smaller (posterior).
• Usually provides enough information to proceed with closed
reduction.
32. Reasons to Obtain More
X-Rays Before Hip Reduction
• View of femoral neck inadequate to rule out
fracture.
• Patient requires CT scan of abdomen/pelvis for
hemodynamic instability
– and additional time to obtain 2-3 mm cuts through
acetabulum + femoral head/neck would be minimal.
33. X-rays after Hip Reduction:
• AP pelvis, Lateral Hip x-ray.
• Judet views of pelvis.
• CT scan with 2-3 mm cuts.
34. CT Scan
Most helpful after hip reduction.
Reveals: Non-displaced fractures.
Congruity of reduction.
Intra-articular fragments.
Size of bony fragments.
35. MRI Scan
• Will reveal labral tear and soft-tissue anatomy.
• Has not been shown to be of benefit in acute
evaluation and treatment of hip dislocations.
36. Clinical Management:
Emergent Treatment
• Dislocated hip is an emergency.
• Goal is to reduce risk of AVN and Degenerative joint
disease.
• Evaluation and treatment must be streamlined.
37. Emergent Reduction
• Allows restoration of flow through occluded or
compressed vessels.
• Literature supports decreased AVN with earlier
reduction.
• Requires proper anesthesia.
• Requires “team” (i.e. more than one person).
38. Patterns Treated Non operatively
• No associated fracture and congruent
reduction
• Posterior wall fracture that is clinically
stable with congruent reduction
• Pipkin type I fracture with congruent
reduction.
• Pipkin type II fracture with anatomic
reduction and congruent joint
39. Anesthesia
• General anesthesia with muscle
relaxation facilitates reduction, but is
not necessary.
• Conscious sedation is acceptable.
• Attempts at reduction with inadequate analgesia/ sedation
will cause unnecessary pain, muscle spasm and make
subsequent attempts at reduction more difficult.
40. General Anesthesia
Indications:
• If patient is to be intubated emergently in
Emergency Room.
• If patient is being transported to Operating Room
for emergent head, abdominal or chest surgery.
• Take advantage of opportunity.
41. Reduction Maneuvers
Allis: Patient supine.
Requires at least two people.
Stimson: Patient prone, hip flexed and
leg off stretcher.
Requires one person.
Impractical in trauma (i.e. most
patients).
42. Allis Maneuver
• Assistant: Stabilizes pelvis
• Posterior-directed force on both ASIS’s
• Surgeon: Stands on stretcher
• Gently flexes hip to 900
• Applies progressively increasing traction to
the extremity
• Applies adduction with internal rotation
• Reduction can often be seen and felt
44. How to know reduced Hip ?
• The limb moves more freely
• Patient more comfortable
But……..
• Requires testing of stability
• Simply flexing hip to 900 does not
sufficiently test stability
45. Stability Test
1. Hip flexed to 90
o
2. If hip remains stable, apply internal rotation,
adduction and posterior force ??.
3. The amount of flexion, adduction and internal
rotation that is necessary to cause hip dislocation
should be documented.
Caution!: Large posterior wall fractures may make
appreciation of dislocation difficult.
46. Hip Dislocation:
Nonoperative Treatment
• If hip stable after reduction, and reduction congruent.
• Maintain patient comfort.
• ROM precautions (No Adduction, Internal Rotation).
• No flexion > 60
o
.
• Early mobilization usually after 3-4 weeks.
• Touch down weight-bearing for 4-6 weeks.
• Repeat x-rays before allowing full weight-bearing.
47. Irreducible Hip ?
• Requires emergent reduction in theatre.
• Pre-op CT obtained if it will not cause delay.
• One more attempt at closed reduction in O.T. with
anesthesia.
( Repeated efforts not likely to be successful and may
create harm to the neurovascular structures or the
articular cartilage.)
Surgical approach from side of dislocation.
48. Causes of Irreducible dislocation
• Anterior:
Buttonholing through the capsule
Rectus femoris
Capsule
Labrum
Psoas tendon
• Posterior:
Piriformis tendon
Gluteus maximus
Capsule, Ligamentum teres
Posterior wall, Bony fragment
Iliofemoral ligament
Labrum
49. Patterns Treated with open Reduction and
Debridement
• Irreducible dislocation
• Iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury
• Incongruent reduction with incarcerated
fragments
• Incongruent reduction with soft tissue
interposition
• Incongruent reduction with Pipkin type I
femoral head fracture
50. Irreducible Hip Dislocation: Anterior
• Smith-Peterson approach ,Watson-Jones approach,
Extended iliofemoral, ilioinguinal approach.
• Allows visualization and retraction of interposed
tissue.
• Placement of Schanz pin in intertrochanteric
region of femur will assist in manipulation of the
proximal femur.
• Repair capsule, if this can be accomplished
without further dissection.
51. • Kocher-Langenbeck approach.
• Remove interposed tissue, or
release buttonhole.
• Repair posterior wall of acetabulum if
fractured and amenable to fixation.
Irreducible Hip Dislocation: Posterior
52. Irreducible Posterior Dislocation
with Large Femoral Head Fracture
Fortunately, these are rare.
Difficult to fix femoral head fracture from
posterior approach without transecting
ligamentum teres.
53. Three Options
1. Detach femoral head from ligamentum teres,
repair femoral head fracture with hip dislocated,
reduce hip.
2. Close posterior wound, fix femoral head fracture
from anterior approach (either now or later).
3. Ganz trochanteric flip osteotomy.
Best option not known: Damage to blood supply
from anterior capsulotomy vs. damage to blood supply
from transecting ligamentum teres.
54. 2. Hip Dislocation with Femoral Neck
Fracture
• Attempts at closed reduction potentiate chance of
fracture displacement with consequent increased risk of
AVN.
• If femoral neck fracture is already displaced, then the
ability to reduce the head by closed means is markedly
compromised.
Thus, closed reduction should not be attempted.
55. 2. Hip Dislocation with Femoral Neck
Fracture
• Usually the dislocation is posterior.
• If fracture is non-displaced, stabilize
fracture with parallel lag screws first.
• If fracture is displaced, open reduction of
femoral head into acetabulum, reduction of
femoral neck fracture, and stabilization of
femoral neck fracture.
56. 3. Incarcerated
Fragment
• Can be detected on x-ray or CT scan.
• Surgical removal necessary to prevent abrasive wear of
the articular cartilage.
• Posterior approach allows best visualization of
acetabulum (with distraction or intra-op dislocation).
• Anterior approach only if:
dislocation was anterior and,
fragment is readily accessible anteriorly.
57. 4. Incongruent Reduction
From:
Acetabulum Fracture (weight-bearing
portion).
Femoral Head Fracture (any portion).
Interposed tissue.
Goal: achieve congruence by removing interposed
tissue and/or reducing and stabilizing fracture.
58. 5. Unstable Hip after Reduction
• Due to posterior wall and/or femoral head fracture.
• Requires reduction and stabilization fracture.
• Labral detachment or tear
– Highly uncommon cause of instability.
– Its presence in the unstable hip would justify surgical repair.
– MRI may be helpful in establishing diagnosis.
59. Results of Treatment
• Pain : from normal to severe pain and degeneration.
• In general, dislocations with associated femoral head or
acetabulum fractures fare worse.
• Dislocations with fractures of both the femoral head and the
acetabulum have a strong association with poor results.
• Irreducible hip dislocations have a strong association with poor
results.
– 13/23 (61%) poor and 3/23 (13%) fair results.
McKee, Garay, Schemitsch, Kreder, Stephen. Irreducible fracture-dislocation of
the hip: a severe injury with a poor prognosis. J Orthop Trauma. 1998.
60. Complications of Hip Dislocation
• Avascular Necrosis (AVN): 1-20%
– Several authors have shown a positive
correlation between duration of dislocation and
rate of AVN.
– Results are best if hip reduced within six hours.
61. Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis
• Can occur with or without AVN.
• May be unavoidable in cases with severe
cartilaginous injury.
• Incidence increases with associated femoral head
or acetabulum fractures.
• Efforts to minimize osteoarthritis are best directed
at achieving anatomic reduction of injury and
preventing abrasive wear between articular
carrtilage and sharp bone edges.
62. Recurrent Dislocation
• Rare, unless an underlying bony instability has not
been surgically corrected (e.g. excision of large
posterior wall fragment instead of ORIF).
• Some cases involve pure dislocation with
inadequate soft-tissue healing – may benefit from
surgical imbrication (rare).
• Can occur from detached labrum, which would
benefit from repair (rare).
63. Recurrent Dislocation
Caused by Defect in
Posterior Wall and/or
Femoral Head
• Can occur after excision of fractured fragment.
• Pelvic or intertrochanteric osteotomy could alter the
alignment of the hip to improve stability.
• Bony block could also provide stability.
64. Delayed Diagnosis of Hip Dislocation
• Increased incidence in multiple trauma patients.
• Higher if patient has altered sensorium.
• Results in more difficult closed reduction, higher
incidence of AVN.
In NO Case should a hip dislocation be treated
without reduction.
65. Sciatic Nerve Injury
Occurs in up to 20% of patients with hip
dislocation.
Nerve stretched, compressed or transected.
With reduction: 40% complete resolution
25-35% partial resolution
66. Sciatic Nerve Palsy:
If No Improvement after 3–4 Weeks
• EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies for
baseline information and for prognosis.
• Allows localization of injury in the event
that surgery is required.
70. Iatrogenic Sciatic Nerve Injury
Most common with posterior approach to hip.
Results from prolonged retraction on nerve.
71. Iatrogenic Sciatic Nerve Injury
Prevention:
Maintain hip in full extension
Maintain knee in flexion
Avoid retractors in lesser sciatic notch
? Intra-operative nerve monitoring (SSEP, motor
monitoring)
72. Thromboembolism
• Hip dislocation = high risk patient.
• Prophylactic treatment with:
low molecular weight heparin, or
coumadin
• Early postoperative mobilization.
• Discontinue prophylaxis after 2-6 weeks (if
patient mobile).
73. Treatment Femoral Head Fractures
Treatment principles similar to those listed for
hip dislocations.
74. Femoral Head Fractures – Mechanism
• Fracture occurs by shear as femoral head
dislocates.
• With less hip flexion, femoral head
fracture tends to be larger.
75. History and Physical Examination
Similar to patient with hip dislocation.
Patient posture may be less typical due to
femoral head fracture.
76. Classification
• Thompson and Epstein Type V
Hip dislocation with femoral head fracture
• AO/OTA Classification
• Pipkin Classification
78. Pipkin Classification
I Fracture inferior to fovea
II Fracture superior to fovea
III Fracture of femoral head with
fracture of femoral neck
IV Fracture of femoral head with
acetabulum fracture
87. Displaced Infra-foveal Fractures
pepkin I
• Can be reduced and stabilized, or excised.
• ORIF preferred if possible.
• Anterior approach allows best visualization.
88. Posterior vs Anterior Approach
• Support for Posterior Approach (? old ternd)
– Sarmiento, CORR 1973
– Epstein, JBJS 1974 (0 good results with ant. approach)
• Support for Anterior Approach
– Swiontkowski, Thorpe, Seiler, Hansen, J Orthop Trauma
1992:
• 12 anterior, 12 posterior.
• Less blood loss and operative time with anterior approach.
• Improved visualization anteriorly.
• Increased heterotropic ossification anteriorly.
• 67% good and excellent in each group.
– Nork, Routt et al, OTA 2001: 21 cases, ? one AVN
89. Supra-foveal Fractures
pepkin II
ORIF through:
1. anterior approach.
2. posterior approach.
3. posterior approach with Ganz trochanteric
flip osteotomy.
Excision of fragment(s) will create instability, and
thus is contraindicated.
90. Surgical Dislocation of the Hip for Fractures
of the Femoral Head
Helfet, Lorich et al, J Orthop Trauma, 2005
91.
92.
93.
94. Pipkin III Fractures
• High incidence of AVN with displaced fractures.
• Relative indication for hemiarthroplasty in older patient.
• If femoral head fracture is non-displaced, do not attempt
manipulative reduction of hip until femoral neck is
stabilized.
95. Femoral Head Fracture-Dislocation with Displaced
Femoral Neck Fracture
• Closed reduction attempts are futile.
• ORIF in young: open reduction of hip, then reduction and
stabilization of femoral neck and head.
• Arthroplasty in middle-aged and elderly (No good results with
ORIF reported in literature).
96. Femoral Head Fracture-Dislocation with
Non-Displaced Femoral Neck Fracture
Must consider stabilizing femoral neck fracture
before performing reduction of hip.
97. What if Reduction Maneuver Results in
Displaced Femoral Neck Fracture?
98. Reduction Maneuver Resulted in Displaced
Femoral Neck Fracture ?
• Emergent open reduction of
hip from side of dislocation.
• Reduction and stabilization of
femoral neck fracture.
• Assessment of femoral head
fracture for surgical
indications.
• In elderly, perform
arthroplasty.
99. Pipkin IV Fractures
• Require appropriate treatment of femoral head and
acetabulum fractures.
• Combination of fractures necessitates critical assessment
of stability.
• Have high incidence of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
101. Femoral Head Fracture with Acetabulum
Fractures
Kregor, AAOS, 2004
• 10 cases followed 28 months
• All had ORIF of both femoral head and acetabulum
• 6 Ganz trochanteric flip osteotomy, 3 anterior + posterior,
1 posterior.
• Results: 3 excellent, 6 good, 1 poor.
• “The Ganz Trochanteric Flip Osteotomy combined with
surgical dislocation of the hip allows for optimal
visualization and fixation of both injuries, controlled
reduction of the hip, and thorough debridement of the hip
joint.”
102. Conclusion
• It is highly stable joint that needs high
energy trauma to dislocate,(so, don't miss
associated injuries)
• Early reduction of the dislocated hip (within
6 hrs) can improve blood flow to femoral
head.
• Up to 5 views of xrays/C-T may be needed
for proper evaluation( pre and post
reduction)
103. Conclusion
• Minimize closed trials to avoid the risk of
vascular damage and AVN
• Surgical approaches according to the
direction of dislocation
• Surgeon experience is highly considered for
treatment (as revision surgeies caries a high
risk of complications)
