Using a scintigraphic technique based on anautologous injection of . 99m. Tc-labelled erythrocytes, we have evaluated the efficiency of different
INTRODUCTION. The efficacy and safety of the tourniquet are discussed, in particular with regard to the blood saving and tissue damage induced by ischemia. The quality of
Introduction & Aims. Mild to moderate CD after TKA is a common side-effect of an otherwise successful procedure. Despite improvement in the majority of the cases within weeks to a few months, this is a source of concern and disappointment. This analysis presents a possible mechanism for post-TKA cognitive changes. Method. We reviewed the literature on the hemodynamic events around limb
An interesting case with excellent accompanying images, highlighting the significance of tourniquets in controlling
Severe military pelvic trauma has a high mortality rate with previous work identifying an association between pelvic fracture and traumatic amputation (TA) of the lower limb (LL). Research has also identified casualties with this combination of injuries as the potential ‘future unexpected survivors’, however, most casualties die early from
The major benefit of TKA with tourniquet is operating in a bloodless field. A possible secondary benefit is a better cement-bone interface for fixation. The disadvantages of tourniquet use for TKA include multiple risk factors both local and systemic: Nerve damage, Altered hemodynamics with limb
Conflict in Afghanistan demonstrated predominantly lower extremity and pelvi-perineal trauma secondary to Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Mortality due to pelvic fracture (PF) is usually due to
Thromboembolic (TE) events and related wound issues are the most common post-operative complications related to lower extremity total joint arthroplasty. They represent not only significant morbidity but also serious economic consequences. Evolution has selected for thrombus formation as a protection against
