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: Urinary incontinence is a com­plaint of involuntary loss of urine and often occurs in women due to bladder dysfunction or weakened pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor muscle training (PMFT) is an exercise to treat urinary incontinence. This study aimed to ana­lyze the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training to reduce urinary inconti­nence and improve quality of life in women.Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. The data was obtained through journal databases including PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar by selecting articles published in 2010-2020. The keywords used were ("pelvic floor muscle train­ing" OR "pelvic floor exercise" OR "kegel") AND ("urinary incontinence" OR "leaking urine" OR "urinary leakage") AND ("women" OR "fe­male") AND "quality of life" AND "rando­mized controlled trial". The inclu­sion criteria were full paper articles with the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) research method. The size relation­ship used's of Mean SD, the intervention given was pelvic floor muscle training; female re­search subjects were 20-75 years old and ex­perienced urinary inconti­nence. Search articles were done by using the PICO model. Popu­lation= Women with urinary incontinence, In­ter­vention= pelvic floor muscle training, Com­parison= not given PMFT, and Outcome= de­creased urinary incontinence and improved quality of life. Articles were collected by using PRISMA flow diagrams and analyzed using the Revman 5.3 application.Results: Meta-analysis of 7 articles showed that pelvic floor muscle training could reduce urinary incontinence by 0.56 times higher compared to other interventions or no intervention (SMD= -0.56; 95% CI= -1.03 to -0.09; p= 0.020). Meta-analysis of 9 articles showed that pelvic floor muscle training improved quality of life by 0.32 times higher compared to other interventions or no intervention (SMD= -0.32; 95% CI= -0.66 to 0.02; p=0.070).Conclusion: Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PMFT) reduces urinary incontinence and improves the quality of life in women.Keywords: pelvic floor muscle training, uri­nary incontinence, quality of lifeCorrespondence: Ragil Aidil Fitriasari Addini.
