Distal femur fractures are traumatic injuries involving the region extending from the distal metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction to the articular surface of the femoral condyles.
Diagnosis is made radiographically with CT studies often required to assess for intra-articular extension.
Treatment is generally operative with ORIF, intramedullary nail, or distal femur replacement depending on available bone stock, age of patient, and patient activity demands.
Patella Fractures are traumatic knee injuries caused by direct trauma or rapid contracture of the quadriceps with a flexed knee that can lead to loss of the extensor mechanism.
Diagnosis can be made clinically with the inability to perform a straight leg raise and confirmed with radiographs of the knee.
Treatment is either immobilization or surgical fixation depending on fracture displacement and integrity of the extensor mechanism.
Proximal third tibia fractures are relatively common fractures of the proximal tibial shaft that are associated with high rates of soft tissue compromise and malunion (valgus and procurvatum).
Diagnosis is made with orthogonal radiographs of the tibia with CT scan often required to assess for intra-articular extension.
Treatment generally consists of surgical open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus intramedullary nail fixation.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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

1. DR UZAIR HANIF BHATTI
PGR ORTHOPEDIC
SURGERY
TRAUMA TO EXTREMITIES
2. HISTORY
• Mechanism of injury
• Amount of force involved in injury
e.g: Fall on outstretched hand------ wrist ,elbow , clavicle injuries.
Information beyond that injury:
• A - Allergies
• M - Medication
• P – Past medical and surgical history
• L – Last time (something to eat or drink)
• E - Events that lead to injury
3. EXAMINATION
Look :
look for whole limb front and back for any swelling, bruise any
deformity, any break in the skin, previous scar or abrasion. E.g. slightly
flexed, internally rotated and adducted limb might suggest posterior
dislocation of hip.
Feel:
Feel for any bony tenderness , degree of swelling, tenseness of
compartment, crepitus of subcutaneous air, pulses.
DISTAL NEUROVASCULAR STATUS.
Move:
• Active: Movement initiated and maintained by patient itself.
• Passive: When examiner moves the limb
4. SPECIAL TESTS
• Knee injuries ---- straight leg raise test to evaluate the extensor
mechanism intact
• Elbow injuries ---- extension at elbow joint to evaluate triceps
muscle intact
• Achilles tendon ---- planter flexion at ankle joint
NEUROVASCULAR EXAMINATION
• Radial nerve palsy associated with humeral shaft fracture
• In 30% of Knee joint dislocations , vascular injury might occur
• Neurovascular status distal to fracture site should me examined
properly
5. INVESTIGATIONS
• Hematological investigations
• Ultrasound
• Radiography
• 2 views ( AP and Lateral view )
• 2 joints ( Above and Below the trauma site )
• 2 occasions ( Before and After treatment )
• CT scan
• MRI
• Nuclear medicine scans ( osteoblastic activity)
6. FRACTURE & CLASSIFICATION
A bone fracture is a medical condition where the continuity of the
bone is broken.
Closed fracture:
◦ Simple fracture
◦ No open wounds of skin near fracture
Open fracture:
◦ Mostly compound fracture
◦ Cutaneous (open wounds) of skin near fracture site. Bone may
protrude from skin
◦ Open fractures are open complete displaced or comminuted.
7.
8. AO CLASSIFICATION
(ARBEITSGEMEINSCHAFT FUR OSTEOSYNTHESEFRAGEN)
• 1st number = long bone
• 2nd number = bone segment
• Letter = fracture type (A,B,C)
• Then 3rd & 4th numbers classify fracture group &
subgroup
19. CLAVICLE FRACTURES
Clinical Evaluation
– Inspect and palpate for deformity/abnormal motion
– Thorough distal neurovascular exam
– Auscultate the chest for the possibility of lung injury
or pneumothorax
Radiographic Exam
– AP chest radiographs.
20. CLAVICLE FRACTURES
Allman Classification of Clavicle Fractures
– Type I
– Type II
Middle Third (80%)
Distal Third (15%)
– Type III Medial Third (5%)
21. CLAVICLE FRACTURE
Closed Treatment
– Sling immobilization for usually 3-4 weeks
Operative intervention
– Fractures with neurovascular injury
– Fractures with severe associated chest injuries
– Open fractures
– Cosmetic reasons, uncontrolled deformity
– Nonunion
25. PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES
Mechanism of Injury
– Most commonly a fall onto an outstretched arm from
standing height
– Younger patient typically present after high energy
trauma such as Motor Vehicle Accident
26. PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES
Clinical Evaluation
– Patients typically present with arm
held close to chest by contralateral
hand. Pain and crepitus detected
on palpation
– Careful NV exam is essential,
particularly with regards to the
axillary nerve. Test sensation over
the deltoid. Deltoid atony does not
necessarily confirm an axillary
nerve injury
27. PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES
Neer Classification
– Four parts
Greater and lesser
tuberosities,
Humeral shaft
Humeral head
– A part is displaced if
>1 cm displacement or
>45 degrees of
angulation is seen
28. PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURES
Treatment
– Minimally displaced fractures- Sling immobilization, early motion
– Two-part fractures-
Anatomic neck fractures likely require ORIF. High incidence of
osteonecrosis
Surgical neck fractures that are minimally displaced can be treated
conservatively. Displacement usually requires ORIF
– Three-part fractures
Due to disruption of opposing muscle forces, these are unstable so
closed treatment is difficult. Displacement requires ORIF.
– Four-part fractures
In general for displacement or unstable injuries ORIF in the young
and hemiarthroplasty in the elderly and those with severe
comminution. High rate of AVN (13-34%)
30. HUMERAL SHAFT FRACTURES
Mechanism of Injury
– Direct trauma is the most common especially RTA
– Indirect trauma such as fall on an outstretched hand
Clinical evaluation
– Patients typically present with pain, swelling, and
deformity of the upper arm
– Careful NV exam important as the radial nerve is in
close proximity to the humerus and can be injured
32. HUMERAL SHAFT FRACTURES
Conservative Treatment
– Goal of treatment is to establish
union with acceptable alignment
– >90% of humeral shaft fractures
heal with nonsurgical
management
Most treatment begins with
application of a splint or a hanging
arm cast followed by placement of
a fracture brace
33. HUMERAL SHAFT FRACTURES
Treatment
– Operative Treatment
Indications for operative treatment include
inadequate reduction, nonunion, associated
injuries, open fractures, segmental fractures,
associated vascular or nerve injuries
Most commonly treated with plates and screws
but also IM nails
34. HUMERAL SHAFT FRACTURES
Holstein-Lewis Fractures
– Distal 1/3 fractures
– May entrap or lacerate radial nerve as the fracture
passes through the intermuscular septum
36. FOREARM FRACTURES
Mechanism of Injury
– Commonly associated with RTA, direct trauma
missile projectiles, and falls
Clinical Evaluation
– Patients typically present with gross deformity of the
forearm and with pain, swelling, and loss of function
at the hand
– Careful exam is essential, with specific assessment of
radial, ulnar, and median nerves and radial and ulnar
pulses
Radiographic Evaluation
– AP and lateral radiographs of the forearm
37. FOREARM FRACTURES
Ulna Fractures
– These include nightstick and Monteggia fractures
– Monteggia denotes a fracture of the proximal ulna
with an associated radial head dislocation
Monteggia fractures classification- Bado
Type I- Anterior Dislocation of the radial head with fracture
of ulna at any level-
Type II- Posterior/posterolateral dislocation of the radial
head-
Type III- Lateral/anterolateral dislocation of the radial head
with fracture of the ulnar metaphysis-
Type IV- anterior dislocation of the radial head with
fracture of radius and ulna at the same level.
38. FOREARM FRACTURES
Radial Diaphysis Fractures
– Fractures of the proximal two-thirds can be considered truly
isolated
– Galeazzi refer to fracture of the radius with disruption of
the distal radial ulnar joint
– A Reverse Galeazzi denotes a fracture of the distal ulna
with disruption of radioulnar joint
Mechanism
– Galeazzi fractures may result from direct trauma to the wrist,
typically on the dorsolateral aspect, or fall onto outstretched
hand with pronation
– Reverse Galeazzi results from fall with hand in supination
40. DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES
Mechanism of Injury
– Most commonly a fall on an outstretched extremity
with the wrist in dorsiflexion
Clinical Evaluation
– Patients typically present with gross
deformity of the wrist with variable
displacement of the hand in relation to the
wrist.
41. DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES
– Colles Fracture
Combination of intra and extra articular fractures of the distal radius
with dorsal angulation (apex volar), dorsal displacement, radial
shift, and radial shortenting
Most common distal radius fracture caused by fall on outstretched
hand
– Smith Fracture (Reverse Colles)
Fracture with volar angulation (apex dorsal) from a fall on a flexed
wrist
– Barton Fracture
Fracture with dorsal or volar rim displaced with the hand and carpus
– Radial Styloid Fracture (Chauffeur Fracture)
Avulsion fracture with extrinsic ligaments attached to the fragment
Mechanism of injury is compression of the scaphoid against the
styloid
42. DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES
Treatment
– Displaced fractures require and attempt at reduction.
Reproduce the fracture mechanism and reduce the fracture
Place in sugar tong splint
– Operative Management
For the treatment of intraarticular, unstable, malreduced
fractures.
As always, open fractures must go to the ORIF
47. Non-displaced:
<1 mm separation
Tx: sling, early motion
Displaced:
Long arm posterior
splint, followed by
early motion
Excision of radial head,
followed by early
motion in the elderly
Surgical fixation in
young pts
Severely comminuted
Initially apply posterior
long arm
Consider surgical excision
of radial head
48. RADIUS SHAFT FRACTURE
Because of protection by musculature, most
radial shaft fx require significant force
Most are associated with ulna fx
Most are displaced fx
TX:
Non-displaced: long arm cast
Displaced: surgical fixation
52. GALEAZZI FRACTURE/DISLOCATION
Displaced distal radius fx with associated distal
radioulnar joint(DRUJ) dislocation
Fractures at junction of middle and distal 1/3 of
radius more commonly associated with DRUJ
dislocation
Requires surgical fixation
53. GALEAZZI FRACTURE/DISLOCATION
Always obtain wrist X ray in displaced radius
shaft fracture to avoid missing a Galeazzi
fracture/dislocation
To determine DRUJ dislocation, look for:
Over 5mm shortening of radius
Fracture of ulnar styloid
55. COLLES FRACTURE
Most common wrist fracture due to forceful
wrist extension, usually by fall on out
stretched hand
Distal radial metaphysis fracture; Dorsal
angulated; Displaced proximally and dosally
56.
57. CLOSED REDUCTION OF COLLES FX
Indications for closed reduction
Over 5 mm loss in radial length
Over 10 degree dorsal tilt
Method
Manupulate by applying pressure dorsally
to restore normal length and volar tilt
Apply a cylindrical short arm cast and
immobilize with wrist in slight flexion and
ulnar deviation
58. INDICATIONS FOR SURGICAL FIXATION
After closed reduction there remains
Over 5 mm loss in radial length
Over 15 degree dorsal tilt

cast with wrist in neutral
position
Displaced: closed reduction &
casting
64. SCAPHOID FRACTURE
Most common carpal fx
Common after a fall onto an outstretched hand
Pain over radial aspect of wrist
Clinically suspect when anatomic “snuff box” tenderness present
When clinically suspected:
Short arm thumb spica splint
65.
66. TX FOR SCAPHOID FX
Nondisplaced:
Long arm thumb spica cast for 2-4 wks
Followed by short arm thumb spica for 4-6 wks
Displaced:
> 1 mm separation
Closed reduction followed by a thumb spica cast
Surgical fixation if closed reduction unsuccessful
68. LUNATE FRACTURE
Highest incidence of avascular
necrosis(Keinbock’s disease) of any carpal
fx
Suspect when there is tenderness in lunate
fossa regardless of whether or not
confirmed by radiograph
Palpate just distal to the center of distal radius
Wrist flexion causes lunate to move against the
examiner’s finger and increases tenderness
69. LUNATE FRACTURE
When clinically suspected
Short arm thumb spica splint
Follow up in 7~10 days
Non-displaced
Short arm cast for 4-6 wks
Displaced
Surgical fixation
70. LUNATE DISLOCATOIN
Most commonly dislocated carpal bone
Volar displacement most common
Dorsal displacement rare
Associated with median nerve injury
PA view: triangular “piece of pie” appearance
Lateral view:
Lunate volarly or dorsally displaced in relation to lunate fossa
of radius and not associated with proximal surface of capitate
Spilled teacup appearance
71.
72. TX OF LUNATE DISLOCATION
Immobilize in neutral
position
Surgical reduction
Closed reduction(volar
dislocation)
Dorsiflexion of wrist
while applying volar to
dorsal force on lunate to
reduce into lunate fossa
Palmar flexion of wrist t
reduce capitate into
concavity of distal lunat
o
e
73. PERILUNATE
DISLOCATION
Dorsal dislocation most common
PA view: distal capal row overrides proximal
carpal row and creates “crowded carpal sign”
Lateral view:
Lunate in lunate fossa
Capitate proximal surface dorsally or volarly
displaced out of concavity of distal lunate
74.
75. TX OF PERILUNATE DISLOCATION
Immobilize in neutral position
Closed reduction
Dorsiflexion of wrist
Longitudinal traction
Volar flexion so capitate can reduce over dorsal rim of
lunate
Surgical fixation usually necessary
77. BENNETT’S FRACTURE
Intraarticular fx at base
of 1st metacarpal
Associated with
dislocation or
subluxation of the
carpometacarpal joint
(CMC), by pull of the
abductor pollicis brevis
and longus
78.
79. TREATMENT OF BENNETT’S FX
Initial tx: thumb spica splint
Definitive tx: surgical fixation with
percutaneous pinning
80. BOXER’S FRACTURE
