Abstract

Abstract: Embolization is a technique to stop or prevent bleeding by inserting an object, such as an air-filled membrane (balloon), or an embolic material such as foam into a blood vessel to block the blood flow. This study aimed to prove that preoperative embolization might affect and reduce the amount of intraoperative bleeding during the posterior stabilization procedure for thoracolumbal vertebrae fracture. A quasi-experimental method was chosen for this study, and samples were not taken at random. Samples were patients with thoracolumbal vertebrae fracture who underwent the posterior stabilization procedure. Samples were divided into two groups, treated with and without preoperative embolization groups. The treatment was given 24-48 hours before posterior stabilization procedure. The intraoperative bleeding was measured in milliliters. The resulys showed that the average intraoperative blood loss was 283.3 mL, meanwhile of the untreated group was 583.3 mL. The one-way t-test resulted in a p-value of 0.004 at 5% of significance. In conclusion, preoperative embolization could reduce the amount of blood loss during intra-operative posterior stabilization in patients with thoracolumbar vertebral fractures. Further research on preoperative embolization in patient who will undergo posterior stabilization surgery of the thoracolumbal region due to fracture, either mechanically or generatively, is needed.

Abstract

Abstract: Fibula is a very versatile source of autogenous graft and has been used for decades in the field of limb reconstruction. Bony defects of the lower extremity are usually the result of high-energy trauma, tumor resection, or severe sepsis. Non-vascularized fibular graft (NVFG) is useful in the reconstruction of skeletal defects, especially in cases of scarred and avascular recipient sites, or in patients with combined bone and soft tissue defects. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of NVFG in the management of non-union bone fracture. We reported a 16-years-old male with non-union femur fracture. Debridements were applied at the first time of admission to the hospital. Open reduction of fracture with internal femur fixation. Fibula bone was extracted as the donor of vascularized graft for the bone loss. After two years of follow-up, the patient acquired his motor functions back well, and was able to carry out daily activities as expected. In conclusion, taking together the repair and reconstruction of non-union bone in the lower extremity with NVFG and internal fixation is an effective and important option for treating non-union femoral fracture. NVFG osteosynthesis has encouraging results in such instances. It is technically less demanding, simple, and can be performed in almost all centers where image intensifier is available.
