Orthopaedic Elective Procedures Osteotomy Arthrodesis Arthroplasty: Excision Interposition Amputation
Orthopaedic Trauma Procedures Conservative Operative: Nail Plate External Fixator: Monolateral Multiplaner Amputation
Functions of the Skeleton 1. Protective 2. Locomotion 3. Muscle attachments 4. Metabolic 5. Haematopoetic
What is Bone? A protein scaffold (collagen) or Osteoid (35%) Impregnated with Calcium Salts to give it stiffness (65%) ‘Impregnated’ with ‘latent’ Growths factors Minerals Osteoid Normal Osteoporosis Osteomalacia
Types of Bone • Cortical Bone (compact bone): • 80% of Skeletal System • Thick in the bone’s shaft (diaphysis) areas • Thinner at the ends of bone (epiphysis) • Cancellous Bone (trabecular or spongy bone): • 20% of Skeletal System • Inner surface of bone • Most of the bony structure at the end of bones
Bone Healing The skeleton is the ONLY human organ to heal without scarring TISSUE REGENERATION
Stages of Fracture Healing Initial Trauma Inflammatory Response Formation of New Soft Tissue: Callus Formation of Bone Matrix & Cartilage Ossification of Cartilage to Bone Remodeling Healing with NO scar!
Prerequisites for Bone Healing • Adequate blood supply • Adequate mechanical stability
Bone Healing Indirect Direct
‘a fracture is a severe soft tissue injury with a broken bone in its midst’ Astley Cooper
Management of Fractures Conservative Operative Internal fixation: Intramedullary nail Plates and screws External fixation
Nail VS Rod • 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation Nails • Antegrade & Retrograde Hardware – In The Lumen
Hardware – In The Wall • Rigid Fixation • Angle Blade plate • DHS & DCS • Bridge Plating • Locking Plate
Hardware – Outside Wall • Temporary VS Permanent • Uni planer VS Multiplaner
What determines choice of hardware? The Three P’s (Personalities)
Goals of Treatment 1. Prevention of infection 2. Fracture union 3. Restoration of function
Gustilo and Anderson Wound Size I < 1cm II > 1cm Soft Tissue Crushing None Slight or Moderate Fracture Type Simple Comminuted Segmental Contamination Little Moderate High III Extensive damage to soft tissue, muscle, skin
Classification Grade III A Soft tissue cover. Any segmental # B Periosteal stripping +/- contamination C Neurovascular injury requiring repair
Summary 3 ways to fix a bone: Within the bone On the surface of the bone Outside the bone The 3 Personalities: Fracture Patient Surgeon
