The patient stated that she had not fallen but was having terrible groin pain that inhibited her from ambulating. She said there had been no groin pain before the incident. She had been seeing an orthopedic surgeon for knee pain on the ipsilateral side for some time. The knee pain was global but had increased tenderness in the medial joint line.

  • Lab #23 Anal Triangle
    THE BONY PELVIS AND ANAL TRIANGLE (Grant's Dissector [16th Ed.] pp. 141-145) TODAY’S GOALS: 1. Identify relevant bony features/landmarks on skeletal materials or pelvic models. 2. Identify the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments. 3. Describe the organization and divisions of the perineum into two triangles: anal triangle and urogenital triangle 4. Dissect the ischiorectal (ischioanal) fossa and define its boundaries. 5. Identify the inferior rectal nerve and artery, the pudendal (Alcock’s) canal and the external anal sphincter. DISSECTION NOTES: The perineum is the diamond-shaped area between the upper thighs and below the inferior pelvic aperture and pelvic diaphragm. It is divided anatomically into 2 triangles: the anal triangle and the urogenital (UG) triangle (Dissector p. 142, Fig. 5.2). The anal triangle is bounded by the tip of the coccyx, sacrotuberous ligaments, and a line connecting the right and left ischial tuberosities. It contains the anal canal, which pierced the levator ani muscle portion of the pelvic diaphragm. The urogenital triangle is bounded by the ischiopubic rami to the inferior surface of the pubic symphysis and a line connecting the right and left ischial tuberosities. This triangular space contains the urogenital (UG) diaphragm that transmits the urethra (in male) and urethra and vagina (in female). A. Anal Triangle Turn the cadaver into the prone position. Make skin incisions as on page 144, Fig. 5.4 of the Dissector. Reflect skin and superficial fascia of the gluteal region in one flap to expose the large gluteus maximus muscle. This muscle has proximal attachments to the posteromedial surface of the ilium, posterior surfaces of the sacrum and coccyx, and the sacrotuberous ligament.

  • Percutaneous Reduction Techniques
    AAOS 2016 Specialty Day Orthopaedic Trauma Associacion (OTA) Percutaneous Reduction Techniques Christian Krettek Trauma Department, Hannover Medical School, Germany [email protected] www.mhh-unfallchirurgie.de Short segment tibial fractures can be stabilized using different implants like plates, screws, external fixators and nails. This syllabus deals mainly with reduction techniques in the context of the use of intramedullary nails. 1.1 PREOPERATIVE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT 1.1.1 Primary shortening and secondary overdistraction eases definitive nailing In the acute setting primary shortening of a shaft fracture is a helpful strategy to de- crease soft tissue tension and intra-compartmental pressure. However, reduction gets more difficult and more time consuming, the longer the fracture is kept in a shortened position. The concept of primary shortening (acute phase) and secondary (after 3 or 4 days) overdistraction eases definitive nailing. Using a electro-mechanical load cell, our group has compared the reduction forces in patients undergoing femoral nailing after Damage Control in shortend vs overdistracted fracture configuration. In the overdistrac- tion group, the reduction forces were lower (200 N +/-43.1 N vs. 336 N +/- 51.9 N, p = 0.007) and the reduction time was shorter (5.8 min +/-4.0 min vs. 28.3 min +/-21.8 min, p = 0.056). It was concluded, that DCO with the fracture shortened leads to higher restrai- ning forces & prolonged reduction time. Overdistraction should be performed as soon as possible under careful soft-tissue monitoring [1a, 2a]. Primary shortening and secondary overdistraction eases definitive nailing Example of a femoral shaft fracture stabilized in shortening first with an external fixator.
