Among the sources of bleeding, fractures are not to be taken lightly,

-For each rib fracture, blood loss can range from 100-200 mL,
-Tibial fractures can yield 300-500 mL,
-Femoral fractures can produce 800-1000 mL,
-Pelvic fractures may cause loss of more than 2000 mL.

#Surgery
Sure signs of fracture:

1-Deformity.
2-Length discrepancy.
3-Abnormal movement.
4-Crepitus.

#Surgery
Post-operative return of GI function:

-Small bowel: 12-24h.
-Stomach: 24-48h.
-Large bowel: 48-72h.

#Surgery
Stages of bone healing:

1- Hematoma 👉🏼0-3 wk
2-Callus+Osteoclast 👉🏼3-6wk
3-Bone formation in callus 👉🏼6-12wk
4-Cortical gap is bridged by bone 👉🏼6-12 m
5-Remodelling"Normal architecture"👉🏼1-2 yr.

-Moderated Ascites (1000-2000cc).
-Severe Ascitis (>2000 cc)

Quick Notes
NON-UNION: -Fracture not united at end of 9 months and there is no progress in fracture healing in last 3 months is Non-union. #Surgery
Types of non-union:

1- Non-union with a gap.
2- Fibrous non-union: F.T. holds the fragments.
3- Hypertrophic non-union: a massive bone around the ends of the
fracture.
4- Atrophic non-union: The bone ends are rounded, narrow osteoporotic.
5- Pseudoarthrosis: is a form of non-union due to formation of an adventitious bursa (i.e. bursa in an abnormal site) between the
sclerosed ends of the fragments with formation of a new joint with a new range of mobility .

Remember:

-In hypospadias, circumcision is contraindicated as prepucial skin is required for future urethroplasty.

#Surgery
Remember:

-Fracture pain is sharp and stabbing in its character, aggravated by attempted movement, and relieved by rest and splintage.

-Muscle pain is often described as ‘stiffness’ or aching, and is aggravated by use of the affected muscle(s).

Remember:

Fav for MCQ's

-The most common cause of death in DM is IHD
-The most common cause of death in Guillain-Barré syndrome is cardiac arrhythmia "Update" previously was Respiratory Failure.
-MC cause of death in Sarcoidosis is RHF" Cor pulmonale"


#Medicine
Remember:

-MC cause of death in Systemic sclerosis is PAH but some say it is ILD.
-MC cause of death in Rheumatoid arthritis is Coronary artery disease.
-MC cause of death in SLE is infections. Renal impairment.
-MC cause of death in Hemochormoatosis is HCC.

#Medicine
Remember:

-MC cause of death in Upper GIT bleeding is MI, arrhythmia.
-MC cause of death in Kala-azar is infections, bleeding.
-Most common cause of death in Hemophilia is Intracerebral bleeding.
-MC cause of death in MND is bronchopneumonia, respiratory failure and complication of immobility.
-MC of death in ankylosing spondylitis is amyloidosis,spinal fracture.

#Medicine
Why the healing of fracture in children is more rapidly and takes short time?

-Because the periosteum is thick has  very rich  blood supply and growth cells.

#Surgery
How do you know that the appendix has been raptured ?
Simply
1. Generalized abdominal pain
2. Gaurdening and rigidity all over the abdomen
3. Shifting dullness ( due to fluid)
4. Diminished the liver dullness on percussion
5. Increase of body temperature (39-40)
6. US : fluid around the appendix and peritoneal cavity
7. CXR: air under diaphragm.

-Fever and tachycardia are commonly absent in acute cholecystitis; maintain
a high index of clinical suspicion!


-Fever is also absent in case of cystitis.
#Surgery
Remember:

In compartment syndrome.

-Pain out of proportion to injury (typically first and most significant symptom).

-Pain with passive stretch (most sensitive sign).

-5Ps:late signs-do not wait for these to develop to make the diagnosis!!

This is a polypropylene mesh used for hernioplasty, this provides structural support to a weak defect, it gained widespread popularity especially with inguinal hernias (Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty), it can be used for recurrent paraumbilical hernias…
Indications

-Direct hernia.
-Recurrent hernia.
-Re-recurrent hernia.
-Incisional hernia.
-Old age.
-Hernia with weak abdominal muscle tone.
-Sliding hernia.

Complications:

-
Infection.
-Mesh extrusion.
-Foreign body reaction.
-Mesh inguinodynia causing hyperaesthesia and pain along the distribution of ilioinguinal or iliohypogastric nerve.

Contraindications:
-In strangulated hernia, Why?
Because the field is potentially infected.
