Lower Extremity Trauma Hip Fractures / Dislocations Femur Fractures Patella Fractures Knee Dislocations Tibia Fractures Ankle Fractures
Slide 3-

Hip Fractures Hip Dislocations Femoral Head Fractures Femoral Neck Fractures Intertrochanteric Fractures Subtrochanteric Fractures
Slide 4-

250,000 Hip fractures annually Expected to double by 2050 At risk populations Elderly: poor balance & vision, osteoporosis, inactivity, medications, malnutrition Young: high energy trauma Epidemiology
Slide 5-

Hip Dislocations Significant trauma, usually MVA Posterior: Hip flexion, IR, Add Anterior: Extreme ER, Abd/Flex
Slide 6-

Hip Dislocations Emergent Treatment: Closed Reduction Dislocated hip is an emergency Goal is to reduce risk of AVN and DJD 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)
Slide 7-

Hip Dislocations Emergent Treatment: Closed Reduction 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, cause muscle spasm, and make subsequent attempts at reduction more difficult
Slide 8-

Hip Dislocations Emergent Treatment: Closed Reduction Allis Maneuver Assistant stabilizes pelvis with pressure on ASIS Surgeon stands on stretcher and gently flexes hip to 90deg, applies progressively increasing traction to the extremity with gentle adduction and internal rotation Reduction can often be seen and felt Insert hip Reduction Picture
Slide 9-

Hip Dislocations Following Closed Reduction Check stability of hip to 90deg flexion Repeat AP pelvis Judet views of pelvis (if acetabulum fx) CT scan with thin cuts through acetabulum R/O bony fragments within hip joint (indication for emergent OR trip to remove incarcerated fragment of bone)
Slide 10-

Hip Dislocations Following Closed Reduction No flexion > 60deg (Hip Precautions) Early mobilization with PT/OT TTWB for 4-6 weeks MRI at 3 months (follow risk of AVN)
Slide 11-

Femoral Head Fractures Concurrent with hip dislocation due to shear injury

Distal Femur Fractures Distal Metaphyseal Fractures Look for intra-articular involvement Plain films CT
Slide 27-

Distal Femur Fractures Treatment: Retrograde IM Nail ORIF open vs. MIPO Above depends on fracture type, bone quality, and fracture location
Slide 28-

High association of injuries Ligamentous Injury ACL, PCL, Posterolateral Corner LCL, MCL Vascular Injury Intimal tear vs. Disruption Obtain ABI’s  (+)  Arteriogram Vascular surgery consult with repair within 8hrs Peroneal >> Tibial N. injury Knee Dislocations
Slide 29-

Patella Fractures History MVA, fall onto knee, eccentric loading Physical Exam Ability to perform straight leg raise against gravity (ie, extensor mechanism still intact?) Pain, swelling, contusions, lacerations and/or abrasions at the site of injury Palpable defect

Slide 31-

Tibia Fractures Proximal Tibia Fractures (Tibial Plateau) Tibial Shaft Fractures Distal Tibia Fractures (Tibial Pilon/Plafond)
Slide 32-

Tibial Plateau Fractures MVA, fall from height, sporting injuries Mechanism and energy of injury plays a major role in determining orthopedic care Examine soft tissues, neurologic exam (peroneal N.), vascular exam (esp with medial plateau injuries) Be aware for compartment syndrome Check for knee ligamentous instability
Slide 33-

Tibial Plateau Fractures Xrays: AP/Lateral +/- traction films CT scan (after ex-fix if appropriate)
Slide 34-

Schatzker Classification of Plateau Fxs Lower Energy Higher Energy
Slide 35-

Tibial Plateau Fractures Treatment Spanning External Fixator may be appropriate for temporary stabilization and to allow for resolution of soft tissue injuries Insert blister Pics of ex-fix here
Slide 36-

Tibial Plateau Fractures Treatment Definitive ORIF for patients with varus/valgus instability, >5mm articular stepoff Non-operative in non-displaced stable fractures or patients with poor surgical risks
Slide 37-

Tibial Shaft Fractures Mechanism of Injury Can occur in lower energy, torsion type injury (e.g., skiing) More common with higher energy direct force (e.g., car bumper) Open fractures of the tibia are more common than in any other long bone

Tibial Shaft Fractures Gustilo and Anderson Classification of Open Fx Grade 1 <1cm, minimal muscle contusion, usually inside out mechanism Grade 2 1-10cm, extensive soft tissue damage Grade 3 3a: >10cm, adequate bone coverage 3b: >10cm, periosteal stripping requiring flap advancement or free flap 3c: vascular injury requiring repair
Slide 41-

Tibial Shaft Fractures Tscherne Classification of Soft Tissue Injury Grade 0- negligible soft tissue injury Grade 1- superficial abrasion or contusion Grade 2- deep contusion from direct trauma Grade 3- Extensive contusion and crush injury with possible severe muscle injury
Slide 42-

Management of Open Fx Soft Tissues ER: initial evaluation  wound covered with sterile dressing and leg splinted, tetanus prophylaxis and appropriate antibiotics OR: Thorough I&D undertaken within 6 hours with serial debridements as warranted followed by definitive soft tissue cover Tibial Shaft Fractures
Slide 43-

Tibial Shaft Fractures Definitive Soft Tissue Coverage Proximal third tibia fractures can be covered with gastrocnemius rotation flap Middle third tibia fractures can be covered with soleus rotation flap Distal third fractures usually require free flap for coverage
Slide 44-

Tibial Shaft Fractures Treatment Options IM Nail ORIF with Plates External Fixation Cast or Cast-Brace
Slide 45-

Advantages of IM nailing Lower non-union rate Smaller incisions Earlier weightbearing and function Single surgery Tibial Shaft Fractures
Slide 46-

IM nailing of distal and proximal fx Can be done but requires additional planning, special nails, and advanced techniques Tibial Shaft Fractures
Slide 47-

Fractures involving distal tibia metaphysis and into the ankle joint Soft tissue management is key! Often occurs from fall from height or high energy injuries in MVA “Excellent” results are rare, “Fair to Good” is the norm outcome Multiple potential complications Tibial Pilon Fractures
Slide 48-

Initial Evaluation Plain films, CT scan Spanning External Fixator Delayed Definitive Care to protect soft tissues and allow for soft tissue swelling to resolve Tibial Pilon Fractures
Slide 49-

Tibial Pilon Fractures Treatment Goals Restore Articular Surface Minimize Soft Tissue Injury Establish Length Avoid Varus Collapse Treatment Options IM nail with limited ORIF ORIF External Fixator
