Abstract

Background: Tibial shaft fractures including open tibial fractures grade III are one of the most common fractures of long bones. There are many methods of conservative and operative treatment, one of them is external fixation. External fixation is more common used temporary in polytraumatized patients with tibial shaft fractures. The study was undertaken to see if the patient can be treated with external fixation as the definitive treatment and evaluate the functional outcome after the treatment.Subjects and Method: A retrospective review of a prospectively-collected database was performed. Data was taken from the Orthopaedic Department of RSUD Dr. Moewardi Hospital patients’ database. The study included all patients who underwent grade III open tibial fracture treatment from May 2018 to May 2019. A total of 8 patients who were included in our study were a patient with open tibial fractures grade III planned for external fixaton as definitive treatment. They were evaluated radiographically and clinically to determine the union rate. The data were reported descriptively.Results: External fixator time ranged in this study around 240 days. In this study, there were a few patients whose progress were remain unknown due to loss of contact. Fractures studied 5 out of 8, no patient were union after 8 months of external fixator used. 4 out of 8 patients were reported non-union after 8 months based on their radiological examination (50%) and 1 out of 8 patients were reported has been performed Removal of External Fixation (ROEF) after 5 months of treatment. The rest of the 3 patients’ results were remain unknown.Conclusion: Open tibial fractures grade III  of the leg can be managed with use of external fixator as a definitive treatment. However, the use of external fixation does not provide maximum results in grade III A tibial fractures.Keywords: open tibial fractures, external fixation, union, malunionCorrespondence: Bintang Soetjahjo.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 and has numerous clinical spectrums. Mild respiratory infection is the common clinical manifestation of COVID-19, and the less common is pneumonia accompanied by fever, cough, and breathing difficulty. Long COVID can be defined as prolonged signs and symptoms which cannot be explained for other reasons 4 weeks after being diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed to describe the cause of illness is confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients, specifically on long COVID.Subjects and Method: We performed literature searches of the latest articles with Medline, CINAHL (EBSCO), Global Health (Ovid), WHO Global Research on COVID-19 database, LitCovid and Google Scholar databases published from 2019 to 2020. Two reviewers searched all articles independently (P and W, with 7 and 10 years of experience, respectively). We conducted a systematic review to provide recent evidence of symptoms and complications in long COVID. We followed PRISMA guidelines.Results: A total of 22 papers was identified and screened for eligibility from medical databases. There were 15 papers included in this review. Reason for the continuous symptoms covid an extent of organ destruction, continuous response of chronic inflammation or immunology reaction, non-specific effect of hospital admission, some critical disease, post ICU syndrome, complications from COVID-19 infection,  morbidities and adverse effects of medications used. Common symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, arthralgia, myalgia and weakness, sleep problems, sharp pain, gastrointestinal problems, rash and hair loss, impaired balance and ataxia, neurologic problems such as dementia, concentration disorders and poor quality of life.Conclusion: The incidence of long-term manifestations of COVID-19 has been increasing and systemic clinical symptoms affect many organs and systems. This can be due to numerous reasons like post-ICU syndrome, post-viral fatigue syndrome, permanent organ deterioration or others. Correspondence: Widiastuti Soewondo.
