Essential facets of radiological diagnosis of extremity trauma.

Trauma to the extremities is sometimes dismissed as relatively unimportant in certain radiologic circles. In many instances, radiologic responsibility is denied and relegated to the orthopedist. Although the radiologic manifestations of much trauma to the extremities is clear cut and does not require sophisticated techniques or interpretation, there are many diagnoses which require innovative techniques and a knowledge of mechanisms of injury as well as the subtle oseous and soft tissue manifestations which may be confronted radiologically. The above factors will be stressed along with the need for the fundamental knowledge of radiologic anatomy which is required in order to appreciate some of the more subtle changes of extremity trauma.

[Functional methods of examination of the victims of the earthquake with crush syndrome in the Armenian S.S.R].

The authors have developed a complex of measures including the known (tetrapolar rheoplethysmography, liver and kidney radiography) and the new tests (soft tissue scintigraphy) that have been used for the first time in this condition. Employment of these tests for the examination and monitoring the treatment of patients who were injured in the earthquake in Armenia has helped quantitatively assess the structural and functional shifts in the vital organs and injured limbs in the crush syndrome, thus being valuable for the organization and monitoring the efficacy of therapy and for predicting the outcome of injury.

The role of early internal fixation in the management of open fractures.

A series of 101 victims of multiple trauma and open fractures were treated by early open reduction and internal fixation. Some of the fractures included associated vascular injury. Some of the patients had extensive intraarticular fractures. Femur fractures in the elderly were included. All wounds were left open. In 94 patients, the early infection rate was 1.9% in small clean open (type I) wounds, 8% in large open (type II) wounds, and 41% in extensively contused large open (type III) wounds. In 94 cases the overall infection rate was 10.6%. In only one infection (1%) a long-term chronic osteomyelitis ensued; there were no non-unions in long bone fractures. Open fractures with type I wounds have the same infection rate as reported for closed fractures. In fractures with types II and III wounds salvage of limb, life, or joint function must justify the high risk of infection. Immediate plate fixation of severe open fractures of the tibia could save a limb from amputation. Closed intramedullary nailing of open fractures of the femur carries a high rate of success.
