Initial management of complex hand injuries in military or austere environments: how to defer and prepare for definitive repair?

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:The damage control orthopedics (DCO) concept is a sequential surgical management strategy indicated when ideal primary treatment is not possible or suitable. DCO principles are routinely applied to hand traumas in wartime practice, but could also be useful in a civilian setting when immediate specialized management cannot be carried out. METHODS:The authors report three typical observations of soldiers treated for a complex hand trauma on the field by orthopedic surgeons from the French Military Health Service (FMHS). Application of the hand DCO concept is analyzed and discussed considering the literature and the FMHS experience. RESULTS:With regards to treating the hand, DCO necessitates a meticulous debridement with precise wound assessment, the frequent use of a primary definitive internal fixation by K-wires, and the possibility of a temporary coverage. These simple and fast procedures help avoid infection and prepare the hand for secondary repair. CONCLUSION:Hand DCO can be applied by any surgeon in various situations: in association with polytrauma, complex injuries requiring multiple reconstructions, or delayed transfer to a specialized center.

  • Long-term results of the threaded Weill cup in primary total hip arthroplasty: a 15-20-year follow-up study.

    abstract::Uncemented, threaded acetabular components with smooth surface treatment were widely used in continental Europe in the 1970s and 1980s for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Previously published studies showed high failure rates in the mid-term. In a consecutive series of 116 patients, 127 threaded cups with smooth...
