Open Fractures Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Skeletal and soft tissue injury component of Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS) has a maximum score of _____

Answer: 4

Flashcard 2: Posterior approach used in operative management of acetabular fractures, is also known as _____ approach

Answer: Kocher-Langenbeck

Flashcard 3: What is the next step in management if vascular injury is suspected in supracondylar humerus fractures?

Answer: Immediate reduction and stabilization (CRPP)

Extra: In supracondylar humerus fractures with suspected vascular injury (e.g., pulseless hand), the priority is immediate reduction and stabilization. Angiography or duplex scans are generally avoided as they cause unnecessary delay; the vascular compromise is often due to kinking or entrapment which may resolve upon reduction.

Flashcard 4: _____ is used in displaced intertrochanteric fracture

Answer: Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) or Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN)

Flashcard 5: The most common complication of extracapsular femur neck fracture is _____

Answer: malunion/coxa vara

Flashcard 6: Fractures of _____ are also known as quadripod fracture.

Answer: zygoma

Flashcard 7: Lateral approach used in operative management of acetabular fractures, is also known as _____ approach

Answer: Extended iliofemoral

Extra: The **extended iliofemoral approach** (developed by Letournel) is the lateral approach used for complex acetabular fractures involving both columns. **Common Surgical Approaches for Acetabular Fractures:** * **Anterior:** Ilioinguinal approach * **Posterior:** Kocher-Langenbeck approach * **Lateral:** Extended iliofemoral approach Note: The standard *iliofemoral* (Smith-Petersen) approach is an anterior approach, whereas the *extended* version is the lateral one.

Flashcard 8: Limb Compartment Syndrome presents with severe _____ and tense, swollen compartments; pain typically worsens with passive stretch of the involved muscles.

Answer: pain

Flashcard 9: The given x-ray shows hypertrophic nonunion caused by inadequate _____

Answer: stabilization
