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 is going in a curved ways from upper end to other side lower end in a improper ways or reverse then we go for plate .

N. B Many times it can be chosen by patient himself as better option .

Patient Shifting from O.T to Post Operative Care ( Part 2)

Standard of Practice II It is the responsibility of the HCWs to safely transport a patient to the preoperative holding area or operating room. Confirm IV lines, indwelling catheters, monitoring system lines and drains, and any other lines are secure and patent, and IV bag and collection containers are hanging away from the patient’s head.. Ensure head, arms and legs are protected, adequately padded, and patient is comfortable as possible. . The patient should be transported feet first; rapid movements, particularly when going around a corner should be avoided. Rapid movements, especially if the patient has received preoperative medications, can cause the patient to become disoriented, dizzy, and nauseated, and induce vomiting .. The staff person moving the transportation device should be positioned at the patient’s head in order to look forward for potential hazards. This also allows immediate access to the patient’s airway in case of respiratory distress or vomiting...

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...

the abdominal arota branches

The abdominal aorta in a nutshell The abdominal aorta is a continuation of the descending thoracic aorta . It supplies all of the abdominal organs , and its terminal branches go on to supply the pelvis and lower limbs . It also supplies the undersurface of the diaphragm and parts of the abdominal wall . It begins at T12 and ends at L4 , where it divides into the right and left common iliac arteries . It enters the abdomen through the aortic opening of the diaphragm , which is located beneath the median arcuate ligament between the crura of the diaphragm at T12 . It is accompanied through the aortic opening by the azygos vein and the thoracic duct . It is located on th e posterior abdominal wall in the retroperitoneal space of the abdomen. It descends on the left of the inferior vena cava (IVC) over the anterior surface of the bodies of the lumbar vertebrae and follows the curvature...
