The most common intervention is no longer open aortic repair (OAR), it has been almost entirely replaced by thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR). Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to share our experience in emergency TEVAR and address some difficulties that have been encountered. Methods: In this retrospective study, all patients with blunt chest trauma between July 2014 and April 2020 were identified. Only patients with BTAI who were treated by emergency TEVAR were included. Demographic and clinical data were collected and analyzed. Results:A total of 657 cases of blunt chest trauma were identified. Only 7 cases were found to have BTAI who underwent emergency TEVAR; six patients (85.7%) were males, with a mean age (±SD) of 29.5±8.5 years and one as a 39-year-old female. Motor vehicle accident (MVA) was the mechanism of injury (100%). Two patients (27.6%) had grade-II, 4 patients (57.1%) had grade-III, and 1 patient (14.2%) had grade IV aortic injuries. Technical success was achieved in all cases (100%). No peri-procedural-related mortality and morbidity. No graft-related complications or re-interventions during the average follow-up of 23.3±8.6 months. Conclusions: Despite our lack of experience in OAR for BTAI, TEVAR has provided us with an alternative treatment option for this life-threatening condition. Considering the challenges that may be encountered in developing countries, our results were similar to what has been reported in the literature.","PeriodicalId":23249,"journal":{"name":"Trauma monthly","volume":"51 1","pages":"141-147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85098878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In other words, the question remains whether surgery should be postponed until the patient is fully recovered or whether early surgery should be performed. Objectives: The present study sought to answer the above questions by examining the consequences of pertrochanteric fractures of the proximal femur or hip surgery in CVOID-19 patients and comparing the findings with non-COVID-19 patients. Methods: The present study reports the experience of orthopaedic surgeons on patients with pertrochanteric fractures of the proximal femur or hip candidates for surgery admitted between May and July 2020, who were divided into two groups of patients with COVID-19 (n=12) and non- COVID-19 patients (n=24). The outcomes of the surgery were determined based on the duration of surgery, time interval between surgery to complete recovery, and duration of hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU). Results: Comparing the postoperative outcomes across the two groups with and without COVID-19 showed no significant difference in mean time required for the patient to recover after surgery (p=0.160) or mean operation time (p=0.648). However, the length of ICU stay in those who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 was significantly longer than that observed in the non-COVID-19 group (p = 0.018) due to the need for more care and not because of postoperative complications. Conclusion: Surgical approach on fractures in patients with COVID-19 can be performed with high confidence and safety, and therefore, such surgeries should not be delayed in these patients.","PeriodicalId":23249,"journal":{"name":"Trauma monthly","volume":"26 1","pages":"148-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84968201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: 65 patients who referred with lateral malleolus fracture plus DL rupture during 2017-2018 and underwent surgery were studied. The diagnosis was conducted by a single renowned orthopedic surgeon according to physical examination, clinical, and paraclinical findings such as radiography. A questionnaire was used to record demographic information, pain severity, duration of follow-up, AO classification, pre- and postoperative MCS, AHS, and malreduction and data of the patients with and without DL reconstruction were compared using SPSS software (version 21). Results: About half of the patients (51%) were men. DL was reconstructed in 50.8% of the patients. AO category of the most (53.8%) of the patients was class-B. There was no difference between the patients with and without DL reconstruction in the frequency of fibular malreduction, mean pain severity, and AHS (P>0.05). Mean MCS was neither different between the groups before (P=0.946), nor after surgery (P=0.794). Mean change in MCS score was -2.03±0.95 and -1.94±0.95 in the groups with and without DL reconstruction, respectively (P=0.606).

Methods: In this retrospective study, data from a referral trauma center were reviewed from February 21, 2020, to April 10, 2020. All patients admitted to the hospital for whom a chest CT scan was performed for any reason during the study period were included. Trained physicians screened all CT scans for findings suggestive of COVID-19. Next, blinded radiologists selected CT scans with findings highly suggestive of COVID-19 involvement. The clinical course and outcome and the results of PCR for SARS-CoV-2 were recorded and assessed. Results: A total of 4200 chest CT scans were reviewed. After multiple rounds of exclusion, 24 patients with highly- suggestive findings were reviewed. Only three patients developed COVID-19 symptoms during the course of admission. PCR results were positive in 22 patients (92.6%). Conclusion: We recommend chest CT scans in trauma patients at a high risk of COVID-19 infection, as well as those requiring extensive surgical interventions. Also, a thorough review of the available CT scans before invasive procedures, preferably with the help of an expert radiologist, is highly recommended, even when the results of the COVID-19 laboratory tests are negative.","PeriodicalId":23249,"journal":{"name":"Trauma monthly","volume":"9 1","pages":"152-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81820213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The brachial plexus originates from four cervical (C5-C8) and the first thoracic root (T1). Objectives: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the role of MRI in the diagnosis and localization of traumatic brachial plexopathies and co-relate MRI findings with intraoperative findings wherever possible. Methods: A total of 40 patients with traumatic brachial plexitis underwent a dedicated MRI at our institution. Clinical and electrodiagnostic tests were done in all patients. The findings of MR imaging were correlated with surgical findings as concordant (CR), partially concordant (PC), or nonconcordant (NC). Patients who were not operated were followed over a period of six months to one year. Results: Road traffic accidents (n=32) were the most common cause of brachial plexopathy in our study. Clinical evaluation revealed sensory symptoms in 28 (70 %), motor symptoms in 25 (63%), and autonomic manifestation in 2 (5%) patients. The electrodiagnostic tests were abnormal in 30 (75%) of our patients. MRI findings included pre-ganglionic injury (n=5, 12.5%), post-ganglionic injury (n=17 42.5%), mixed injury (n=9 22.5%) and normal in 9 (22.5%) patients. MRI findings were perfectly concordant with surgical findings in 23(66%), partially concordant in 8(23%), and nonconcordant in 4(11%) patients. MRI has a sensitivity of 87.88%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 89.47% for traumatic brachial plexopathy evaluation. Conclusion: MRI is an essential component of traumatic brachial plexopathy evaluation. MR imaging, although not absolutely perfect, helps in the localization of injury in traumatic plexopathies (pre vs. post-ganglionic), thereby acting as a guiding light for surgical management. Normal MRI in traumatic brachial plexopathy is an enigma, and management in these patients should be based on clinical and electrodiagnostic tests.","PeriodicalId":23249,"journal":{"name":"Trauma monthly","volume":"25 1","pages":"106-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76146059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
