Recurrent bicycle falls by an elderly man who developed multiple intramuscular abscesses associated with urine leakage secondary to posterior urethral injury caused by pelvic ring disruption. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - Physicians should be vigilant about pelvic fractures and urinary retention due to urethral injuries in elderly patients, especially after bicycle falls.
  • - Walking ability in older adults does not guarantee they are free from pelvic fractures.
  • - There is an increased risk of urethral trauma stemming from pelvic fractures in geriatric patients who fall from bicycles and this requires careful assessment.

Article Abstract

Key Clinical Message: With the aging of the population, physicians need to pay more attention to assessing the presence or absence of pelvic fractures and urinary retention associated with urethral injury due to such fractures in the elderly when falling from bicycles.

Abstract: Walking ability does not rule out the presence of pelvic fractures. Many geriatric patients are likely to fall off bicycles. Physicians should pay more attention when assessing complications related to urethral trauma caused by pelvic fractures in the elderly after falling from bicycles.

Purpose: To assess the radiological outcomes and complications focusing on distal junctional failure (DJF) of adult spinal deformity patients who underwent thoracolumbar fixation with the use of offset sublaminar hooks (OSH) distally.

Methods: Retrospective review of a prospective, multicenter adult spinal deformity database (2 sites). Inclusion criteria were age of at least 18 years, presence of a spinal deformity with thoraco-lumbar instrumentation ending distally with OSH (pelvis excluded), with minimum 2 years of follow-up.

Purpose: To assess the rate of heterotopic ossification (HO) following acetabular surgery with a standardized protocol via the Kocher-Langenbeck. Secondarily, to evaluate patient characteristics, injury variables, and perioperative data among patients with HO and no HO.

Methods: This was a retrospective case series from an academic Level I trauma center.

All-terrain vehicle (ATV) accidents frequently cause orthopedic injuries. Previous studies have reported the frequency of fractures in ATV injuries. No studies have provided detailed assessments of fracture patterns, types of operative intervention, or risks for multiple surgeries.

Objective: Minimally invasive percutaneous techniques are used to stabilize fractures of the anterior pelvic ring. Stabilization of the fracture facilitates early mobilization and rehabilitation, while percutaneous techniques reduce complications such as infection and bleeding.

Indications: Indicated for patients with non- or minimally displaced fractures of the anterior pelvic ring, or if fracture displacement can be reduced using minimally invasive techniques.

Osteoporosis is a major risk factor for fragility fractures. The British Orthopaedics Association Standards for Trauma and Orthopaedics (BOAST) and Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) guidelines on fragility fracture management highlight the need to initiate prompt, coordinated multidisciplinary care with a focus on early mobilisation to improve patient outcomes. Medical management of fragility fractures focuses on the prevention of progressive frailty.
