            Diabetics patients with arterialdieases the elderly and those with neurological deficits are also at particular risk .
              patient with rhematoid arthritis may  suffer from survical spine instantly at the atlanto occipital lavel .

        SUPINE POSITION - The supine or dorsal or decubitas is the position commonly used for this particularly surgery . Head is rested sand bag is used under the soulder . The patient arms are either tucked at their side and abducted to less than 90 degrees on padded arm boards . Acute flexicom elbow may cause ulnar nerve damage . Due to  fixed structure brachial plexus is susceptible to traction injury . to avoid strech on the plexus pronate the foreman . when the arms is extended by the patient side . when the arms is extended by the patient side .  When the arms is abducted head should be turned towards that side , again to prevent the brachial plexus . Legs should be turned towards that side , again to prevent the brachial plexus . Legs should be flat . A soft pad raising the heels form the table avoids pressure necrosis. this position for all common operation  .Such as  open gall bladder e.t.c .

         Trendelenburg position   -     It is a similar position with the supine position . But here the patients head is down and leg is up right position and the table is till towards the surgeon  .

Anatomy and Physiology of aterial line

  Anatomy and Physiology The arterial pulse may be palpated in the extremities and the neck. With the knowledge of the contour of these vessels, the operator may easily identify the location of the artery. The anatomy of every site of insertion must be analyzed to determine the landmarks, the depth, the relationship to adjacent anatomical structures, and the size of the artery.   The radial artery is superficial in the thenar area of the wrist where the radial bone joins the metacarpal bones. There, the radial pulse is best felt slightly medial to the extensor tendons of the thumb. The radial artery is a preferred site of insertion. The ulnar artery is opposite to the radial pulse in the volar aspect of the wrist at the joint of the ulnar bone to the metacarpal bones. The artery divides into 2 branches, both of which join a similar division of the radial artery to form a rich, collateral network known as the deep and superficial palma...

Choosing the option between fibula plate and nail

 Fibula is the secondary bone of our leg which connects knee to ankle along aside tibia as a secondary part .  It usually  broke along aside tibia as an evidence of major accident  There is two option to fix it .  Firstly we are choosing  about fibula nail as a simple procedure .  Surgeon needs only a pliers and nail after creating a port according to its position to fix it under the guidance of c arm .  If Surgeon go for here need to open the fracture to fix plate on the area . And needs for clam k wire and other nessary things to fix the fracture.   Why the options?  Surgeon choose the options according to the fracture  , if the fracture line goes vertically ways or the both part of fibula resting perfectly and doesn't dislocated from its own  position  , surgeon goes for nail fixation.   If the fracture is not showing properly in x ray and both end of the bone misplaced after the injury or fracture line...
