Injuries caused by bicycle handlebars are often associated with the « ring sign », which is a major indicator of severe intra-abdominal injuries. The « double ring sign » in a patient with motorcycle handlebar injuries is rare. We report the case of a patient who was involved in a road traffic accident and suffered motorcycle handlebar injuries, in whom a “double ring sign” was observed. A 40 year-old male farmer, right-handed with a BMI of 23 Kg/m2, was admitted in our facility after a road traffic accident. The main complaints were agitation, painful abdomen and pelvic. The diagnosis of hemoperitoneum associated with severe intra-abdominal injuries was made based on the patient's state of shock, generalized abdominal contracture, and the abdominal ring sign indicating intra-abdominal injuries related to the motorcycle handlebars. During a midline xyphopubic laparotomy, a traumatic abdominal wall hernia was observed, mesenteric tear, complete rupture of the small bowel as well as two intestinal wounds, and an hemorrhagic tear of the left iliopsoas muscle. The patient was fully treated in a category 4 rural hospital with a favorable outcome. Patients who have been involved in motorcycle accidents on public roads should be thoroughly examined for signs of ring-shaped or « double ring » bruising caused motorcycle handlebars, as the injuries underlying this symptom are usually severe.
自行车车把造成的伤害通常与“环形标志”有关,这是严重腹内损伤的主要指标。摩托车车把受伤的病人出现“双环标志”是罕见的。我们报告的情况下,病人谁是参与道路交通事故,并遭受摩托车车把损伤,其中一个“双环标志”被观察到。一名40岁男性农民,右撇子,BMI为23 Kg/m2,因道路交通事故入院。主要主诉为躁动、腹部和骨盆疼痛。根据患者休克状态、腹部全身性挛缩、腹部环征提示与摩托车车把有关的腹内损伤,诊断腹膜充血合并严重腹内损伤。在中线下腹开腹术中,观察到外伤性腹壁疝,肠系膜撕裂,小肠完全破裂以及两个肠道伤口,左髂腰肌出血性撕裂。患者在一家乡村四级医院接受全面治疗,预后良好。在公共道路上发生摩托车事故的患者应彻底检查摩托车车把是否有环形或“双环”瘀伤的迹象,因为这种症状背后的伤害通常很严重。

Background

Double Maisonneuve fracture is an extremely rare traumatic condition characterized by simultaneous proximal and distal fibular fractures with syndesmotic disruption. Previously reported cases involved only Weber type B or C distal fibular fractures. To date, no reports have described an associated Weber type A fracture. We report a case of a double Maisonneuve fracture involving a Weber type A distal fibular fracture and describe the clinical course and surgical management.

Methods

A 63-year-old man sustained a left lower leg crush injury involving a Weber type A distal fibular fracture, proximal fibular fracture, medial and posterior malleolar fractures, and tibiofibular diastasis. After initial external fixation, definitive internal fixation was performed on postoperative day 9. The Weber type A fracture was treated using nitinol staples, and fibular length restoration was achieved with a foot distractor. The ankle mortise was stabilized using a one-third tubular plate and trans-syndesmotic screws.

Results

Postoperative imaging confirmed adequate fracture reduction and restoration of the ankle mortise. One year after surgery, radiographs and CT showed complete union and maintained syndesmotic alignment. The patient achieved a Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) score of 90/100, with full range of motion in both the knee and ankle.

Conclusions

Double Maisonneuve fracture with a Weber type A distal fibular fracture is extremely rare. Accurate diagnosis requires careful palpation of the proximal fibula and imaging of the entire lower leg. Favorable outcomes can be achieved through proper restoration of fibular length and stabilization of the ankle mortise.
背景:双maisonnerve骨折是一种极为罕见的外伤性疾病,其特征是腓骨近端和远端同时骨折并伴有骨联合破坏。先前报道的病例仅涉及韦伯B型或C型腓骨远端骨折。到目前为止,还没有相关Weber A型骨折的报道。我们报告一个双Maisonneuve骨折合并Weber型a型腓骨远端骨折的病例,并描述临床过程和手术处理。方法63岁男性患者左侧小腿挤压伤,伴Weber型a型腓骨远端骨折、腓骨近端骨折、内、后外踝骨折及胫腓骨分离。初始外固定后,术后第9天进行最终内固定。使用镍钛诺钉治疗Weber A型骨折,并使用足部牵引器恢复腓骨长度。使用三分之一管状钢板和经韧带联合螺钉固定踝榫。结果术后影像学证实骨折复位及踝骨复位良好。术后一年,x线片和CT显示骨完全愈合并保持韧带联合对齐。该患者获得了日本足部外科学会(JSSF)评分90/100,膝关节和踝关节活动范围全。结论双Maisonneuve骨折合并Weber型a型腓骨远端骨折极为罕见。准确的诊断需要仔细触诊腓骨近端并对整个小腿进行影像学检查。通过适当的腓骨长度恢复和踝关节的稳定可以获得良好的结果。

Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) for forearm shaft fractures in children and adolescents is generally associated with favorable outcomes. However, refracture with ESINs in situ is a rare complication. We report a rare case of refracture with implants in situ in a 14-year-old male patient. Six months after the initial surgery, the patient sustained a reinjury while playing soccer. Radiographs confirmed forearm shaft refracture of both the radius and ulna, and both intramedullary nails were bent at the fracture sites but remained unbroken. We performed emergent closed manual reduction after an ultrasound-guided axillary nerve block and successfully realigned the fractures and straightened the intramedullary nails without breakage. Although exchanging the ESINs was proposed, the patient and his family declined surgery, leading to conservative therapy. Bone union was achieved 2 months after refracture, resulting in a favorable outcome. This minimally invasive treatment is a useful first-line option because it requires no new implants and can be performed in emergency departments or outpatient settings. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this specific treatment in East Asian populations.
弹性稳定髓内钉(ESIN)治疗儿童和青少年前臂干骨折通常具有良好的预后。然而,原位ESINs的再骨折是一种罕见的并发症。我们报告一例罕见的原位植入物再骨折病例,患者为14岁男性。初次手术六个月后,患者在踢足球时再次受伤。x线片证实桡骨和尺骨前臂轴骨折,两根髓内钉在骨折部位弯曲但未断裂。我们在超声引导下腋窝神经阻滞后进行了紧急闭式手动复位,成功地重新调整了骨折并拉直了髓内钉,没有断裂。虽然建议更换esin,但患者及其家属拒绝手术,导致保守治疗。再骨折2个月后实现骨愈合,预后良好。这种微创治疗是一种有用的一线选择,因为它不需要新的植入物,可以在急诊科或门诊进行。据我们所知,这是东亚人群中首次报道这种特殊治疗。

Migration of orthopedic screws into the bladder is a rare postoperative complication following surgical fixation of pelvic fractures. We present a case of a 61-year-old man who sustained a type 3 anteroposterior compression injury with pubic symphysis diastasis, left sacroiliac joint dislocation, and lumbar spine transverse process fracture. At the time of presentation open-reduction internal fixation of his pubic symphysis and closed-reduction percutaneous screw fixation of the left sacroiliac joint was performed. At his 6 month post operative visit, the patient was seen for follow up and reported mild pelvic pain and new urinary symptoms, including hematuria and recurrent urinary tract infections, which lead to further investigation. Imaging revealed findings concerning for migration of one of the pubic symphysis screws with bladder involvement. Cystoscopy confirmed the presence of a foreign body in the bladder. The patient subsequently underwent removal of the pelvic hardware, definitive bladder repair and left sacroiliac arthrodesis, followed by an uneventful postoperative course. This report describes the delayed presentation of spontaneous screw migration after repair of an open book pelvic fracture and describes the diagnostic and management considerations for patients with urinary symptoms after pubic symphysis open reduction internal fixation.

Introduction

Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures can lead to significant facial asymmetry due to displacement of the zygomatic bone. Its management is challenging because of the complex 3D structure and difficult surgical access to the ZMC. This case report evaluates the combination of elevator and modified wire and screw technique to treat ZMC fractures displacement with facial asymmetry.

Case reports

A 31-year-old male patient was referred to the emergency room with complaints of pain, swelling on the right face, and facial asymmetry after a motorcycle accident. Anamnesis revealed that the patient is not under medication nor has systemic diseases. Physical examination demonstrated facial asymmetry, oedema, raccoon eyes, paraesthesia, and signs consistent with ZMC fracture. The patient underwent a CT scan, and a displaced ZMC fracture was found. The patient underwent ORIF 3-point fixation to stabilize the zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures mechanically. Elevator and modified wire and screw were used to reduce the fractured fragment and restore the anatomical position of the zygoma. Postoperative follow-up demonstrated a restored midfacial symmetry, improved ocular motility, and high patient satisfaction, with minimal complications.

Discussion

The modified elevator, wire and screw combination technique offers a solution for the management of complex ZMC fractures, especially those involving rotational deformity in medial rotational fractures. The use of screws and wires is effective in cases of ZMC group IV with controlled strength.

Conclusion

Combination of elevator and modified wire and screw technique is effective in restoring anatomical facial symmetry and functional recovery in the management of ZMC fracture.
颧腋复合体(ZMC)骨折可导致明显的面部不对称,由于颧骨移位。由于复杂的3D结构和难以手术进入ZMC,其管理具有挑战性。本病例报告评价升降机联合改良钢丝螺钉技术治疗伴有面部不对称的ZMC骨折移位。病例报告一名31岁男性患者在摩托车事故后因疼痛、右脸肿胀和面部不对称而被转介到急诊室。记忆显示患者没有服药,也没有全身性疾病。体格检查显示面部不对称,水肿,浣熊眼,感觉异常,与ZMC骨折相符。患者接受CT扫描,发现移位的ZMC骨折。患者行ORIF三点内固定以机械稳定颧颌复合体骨折。使用升降架和改良钢丝螺钉复位骨折碎片,恢复颧骨解剖位置。术后随访显示面部中部对称恢复,眼球运动改善,患者满意度高,并发症少。改良的升降机、钢丝和螺钉联合技术为复杂的ZMC骨折的治疗提供了一种解决方案,特别是那些涉及内侧旋转骨折的旋转畸形。在强度可控的ZMC IV组病例中,使用螺钉和钢丝是有效的。结论提升术与改良钢丝螺钉技术结合治疗ZMC骨折可有效恢复面部解剖对称性和功能恢复。

Comminuted depressed fractures at the base of the middle phalanx are often difficult to treat with a single fixation method, as achieving both anatomic reduction and stable fixation can be challenging. While soft stainless steel wire fixation and locking plate fixation have each been used individually as definitive treatments, no reports to date have described a combined approach. We present the case of a 74-year-old man with comminuted depressed fractures at the base of the middle and ring finger middle phalanges, successfully treated using a locking plate in combination with soft stainless steel wire. The addition of the wire allowed for temporary stabilization of fracture fragments, prevented displacement during screw insertion, and improved overall construct stability. This technique also enabled early postoperative rehabilitation to reduce the risk of adhesion. The combined use of soft stainless steel wire and locking plate fixation may represent a useful strategy for managing complex fractures of the middle phalanx base.
中指骨底部粉碎性凹陷骨折通常难以用单一固定方法治疗,因为实现解剖复位和稳定固定是具有挑战性的。虽然软不锈钢丝固定和锁定钢板固定都被单独使用作为确定的治疗方法,但迄今为止还没有报道描述联合治疗方法。我们报告一例74岁男性中指骨底部和无名指中指骨粉碎性凹陷骨折,使用锁定钢板结合软不锈钢丝成功治疗。添加金属丝可以暂时稳定骨折碎片,防止螺钉插入过程中的移位,并提高整体结构的稳定性。这项技术也有助于术后早期康复,降低粘连的风险。联合使用软不锈钢丝和锁定钢板固定可能是治疗中指骨基部复杂骨折的有效策略。

Introduction

Management of lower extremity vascular trauma involving the Common Femoral (CFA) and Superficial Femoral (SFA) arteries have been well described. However data describing management of traumatic injuries of the Profunda Femoris Artery (PFA) and associated complications is limited.

Methods

A single institution retrospective review of a Level 1 tertiary care center was performed to identify patients age 18–85 with traumatic PFA injury from November 2014 – December 2021.

Results

Fifteen patients with PFA injuries were identified with a majority (87 %) due to penetrating mechanisms. Identified injuries were transection (67 %), arteriovenous fistula (7 %), and pseudoaneurysm (27 %). Nearly half (46.7 %) had “hard signs” of vascular injury at time of presentation. Two thirds of patients underwent operative or endovascular intervention. Complications occurred in 5 (33.3 %) of patients, and there was one mortality (6.7 %).

Missed compartment syndrome requiring delayed leg fasciotomy.
c
Surgical Site Infection.

Conclusion

Traumatic injury to the PFA is a rare entity that is most commonly seen in penetrating trauma. Treatment depends on associated injuries as well as level of injury. Complications occur in a significant number of patients. Given this, intervention should not be delayed and PFA injuries should be monitored for development of compartment syndrome.
涉及股总动脉(CFA)和股浅动脉(SFA)的下肢血管创伤的处理已经有很好的报道。然而,描述创伤性股深动脉(PFA)损伤及其相关并发症的处理数据有限。方法对某一级三级医疗中心2014年11月至2021年12月18-85岁外伤性PFA损伤患者进行单机构回顾性分析。结果15例PFA损伤,87%为穿透性损伤。确定的损伤包括横断(67%)、动静脉瘘(7%)和假性动脉瘤(27%)。近一半(46.7%)患者在就诊时有血管损伤的“硬征”。三分之二的患者接受手术或血管内介入治疗。并发症5例(33.3%),死亡1例(6.7%)。治疗方法空细胞结扎血管内一期修复观察共计6315例血管损伤证据“硬征”6010例“软征”并发症大腿筋膜切开术11a01例腿部筋膜切开术11a01例死亡率11a00例其他1c - 1000例高肌坏死需要延迟筋膜切开术,下肢筋膜切开术,导致死亡。遗漏的筋膜室综合征需要延迟腿筋膜切开术。手术部位感染。结论外伤性PFA损伤是一种罕见的创伤,在穿透性创伤中最为常见。治疗取决于相关损伤和损伤程度。并发症发生在相当多的患者。鉴于此,干预不应延迟,应监测PFA损伤是否发展为筋膜室综合征。

Rhabdomyolysis is a serious entity that can progress to acute renal failure and can be life-threatening. Trauma is the most common cause of rhabdomyolysis. However, other etiologies have been reported, including metabolic disorders. We report a case of isolated trauma brain injured patient, who presented a rhabdomyolysis secondary to a hyperosmolar state due hypernatremia, with renal failure and hyperkalemia. To our knowledge, hypernatremia responsible for a hyperosmolar state is a rare cause of rhabdomyolysis.
横纹肌溶解是一种严重的疾病,可发展为急性肾功能衰竭,并可危及生命。外伤是横纹肌溶解最常见的原因。然而,其他病因也有报道,包括代谢紊乱。我们报告一例孤立的创伤性脑损伤患者,其表现为横纹肌溶解继发于高钠血症引起的高渗状态,并伴有肾功能衰竭和高钾血症。据我们所知,高钠血症引起高渗状态是一种罕见的横纹肌溶解的原因。

Penetrating head injury is less common than blunt head injury in Japan but causes devastating complications and requires prompt surgical intervention. However, not all penetrating head injuries are apparent on arrival.
We herein present a case of a 74-year-old male who lost his balance on a steep hillside and fell on an active lawn trimmer with rotating circular blades, which hit his face. On arrival, the patient was alert and conscious, but was unable to recall the accident. His vital signs were stable and motor functions were normal. The patient had a large laceration ranging from the right lower eyelid to the back of the right auricle. The wound appeared to be superficial with no apparent bone fragments or exposure of the cerebrum. However, trauma CT pan-scan revealed a right temporal bone fracture with multiple skull fragments scattered inside the cranium, and a right temporal lobe contusion. The patient became agitated in the CT suite, followed by a decreased level of consciousness. By the time the patient was rushed back to the emergency room, he was unconscious with minimal respiratory effort, decreased blood pressure, and anisocoria. Blood tests showed evidence of traumatic brain injury-associated coagulopathy. The present case demonstrates how penetrating head injury caused by lawn trimmers may appear subtle in physical examination. The present case also serves as a stark reminder that patients with a high-risk injury or amnesia should undergo trauma CT pan-scan as soon as possible and under-triage of these patients may have devastating consequences.
在日本,穿透性头部损伤不如钝性头部损伤常见,但会引起毁灭性的并发症,需要及时进行手术干预。然而,并非所有穿透性头部损伤在到达时都很明显。我们在此报告一例74岁的男性,他在陡峭的山坡上失去平衡,摔倒在一个有旋转圆形刀片的草坪修剪机上,这击中了他的脸。到达时,病人神志清醒,但无法回忆起事故。他的生命体征稳定,运动功能正常。患者从右下眼睑到右耳廓后部有一大块撕裂伤。伤口似乎是浅表的,没有明显的骨碎片,也没有暴露大脑。然而,创伤CT泛扫描显示右侧颞骨骨折,颅骨内分散有多个颅骨碎片,右侧颞叶挫伤。病人在CT室里变得焦躁不安,随后意识水平下降。当病人被紧急送回急诊室时,他已经失去知觉,呼吸困难很小,血压下降,并出现异尿。血液检查显示创伤性脑损伤相关凝血功能障碍。本病例表明,割草机造成的穿透性头部损伤在体格检查中可能显得很微妙。本病例也提醒我们,高危损伤或健忘症患者应尽快进行创伤CT泛扫描,这些患者的分类不足可能会造成毁灭性的后果。

Limb-length discrepancy following lower-extremity trauma significantly affects patients' functioning and quality of life and is generally avoided by anatomical reconstruction. When lower-extremity trauma is accompanied by tibial-nerve injury, standard treatment protocols may require modifications. We describe a 38-year-old Japanese man with a Gustilo type IIIB open tibial-shaft fracture and complete tibial-nerve rupture, which we treated with acute shortening and gradual lengthening (ASGL). The tibia was shortened by 40 mm to facilitate the tibial nerve's direct end-to-end neurorrhaphy at a healthy site. Initial stabilization was achieved using an external fixator, followed by staged internal fixation and soft-tissue reconstruction with a free latissimus dorsi flap. Once flap integration was confirmed, gradual lengthening with an Ilizarov external fixator restored the limb length, with no length discrepancy. Two years post-injury, the patient regained protective plantar sensation and full weight-bearing ability. He achieved advanced functional milestones: a single-leg stance and hopping. Electromyography (EMG) confirmed the intrinsic foot-muscle reinnervation, including the abductor hallucis and interosseous muscles. The patient resumed snowboarding. This case demonstrates that ASGL has advantages for skeletal and soft-tissue reconstruction and nerve recovery optimization. Although nerve grafting can restore sensation, motor recovery is often limited. In young patients with a complete tibial nerve rupture, tibial shortening to allow direct primary repair may provide superior functional outcomes in both sensory and motor domains. This appears to be the first documentation by EMG of the functional recovery of intrinsic foot muscles following tibial-nerve repair.
下肢创伤后肢体长度差异严重影响患者的功能和生活质量,通常通过解剖重建来避免。当下肢创伤伴有胫神经损伤时,标准的治疗方案可能需要修改。我们描述了一位38岁的日本男性患者,他患有Gustilo IIIB型胫骨干开放性骨折并完全性胫骨神经断裂,我们采用急性缩短和逐渐延长(ASGL)治疗。胫骨被缩短40毫米,以促进胫骨神经在健康部位的直接端到端神经缝合。使用外固定架实现初始稳定,随后进行分阶段内固定和游离背阔肌瓣软组织重建。一旦证实皮瓣整合,用Ilizarov外固定架逐渐延长肢体长度,没有长度差异。伤后两年,患者恢复了足底保护感觉和完全的负重能力。他达到了高级功能里程碑:单腿站立和跳跃。肌电图(EMG)证实了内在的足肌再神经支配,包括外展幻觉肌和骨间肌。病人重新开始单板滑雪。该病例表明ASGL在骨骼和软组织重建以及神经恢复优化方面具有优势。虽然神经移植可以恢复感觉,但运动恢复通常是有限的。对于胫神经完全断裂的年轻患者,缩短胫神经进行直接初级修复可以在感觉和运动领域提供更好的功能结果。这似乎是肌电图对胫骨神经修复后内在足部肌肉功能恢复的首次记录。
