Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) technique has become an increasingly popular method of treating common hand pathologies. We present its application in the treatment of an acute minimally displaced scaphoid fracture. In addition, we demonstrate this can be achieved with field sterility using minimal surgical PPE and draping in a minor surgery setting, outside the main operating room theatre.
清醒局部麻醉无止血带(WALANT)技术已成为治疗常见手部疾病越来越流行的方法。我们介绍其在治疗急性轻微移位舟骨骨折中的应用。此外,我们证明在主手术室之外的小型手术环境中,使用最少的手术个人防护装备和铺单,通过术野无菌操作即可实现这一点。
