Objective: To introduce a method that can be performed with minimal equipments available to most orthopedic surgeons and precludes the extensive anesthetic and ablative requirements.
Methods: A percutaneous lead tunnel was first established in the cortex next to the nidus under computerized tomography guidance with local anesthesia; then the nidus was curetted in the operating room through the lead tunnel. The study was performed in Shariati Hospital in Tehran, Iran, from September 2002 to December 2005.
Article Synopsis
- This analysis focuses on 210 victims of the 2003 Bam earthquake who received treatment in Tehran, highlighting their musculoskeletal injuries and renal function.
- The average time victims were trapped under rubble was 1.9 hours, with medical aid taking an average of 13.5 hours to reach them, leading to 19 cases of compartment syndrome and 6.7% experiencing renal impairment.
- The study found a direct correlation between time under rubble and the development of compartment syndrome, as well as between the time taken to receive medical aid and instances of renal failure, recommending early renal protective measures and conservative fracture treatments.
