In the mangled forearm injury, a decision between limb salvage or amputation must be made.
This case report highlights a 37-year-old patient that sustained a mangled wrist injury with a substantial amount of bone loss to the distal radius after an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) rollover accident. The decision for limb salvage was made and he was treated with the induced membrane technique with wrist arthrodesis using a ring external fixator with a satisfactory outcome.
This case report demonstrates the successful use of the induced membrane technique with a ring external fixator as a limb salvage technique to achieve wrist fusion in a mangled extremity with segmental bone loss.
在严重的前臂损伤中,必须做出保肢还是截肢的决定。
本病例报告重点介绍了一名37岁患者,在全地形车(ATV)翻车事故后,手腕严重受伤,桡骨远端大量骨质缺损。决定进行保肢治疗,采用诱导膜技术并使用环形外固定器进行腕关节融合术,治疗效果满意。
本病例报告证明了诱导膜技术联合环形外固定器作为一种保肢技术,在伴有节段性骨质缺损的严重肢体损伤中成功实现腕关节融合。
