Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The paper presents a clinical case of a staged surgical treatment according to damage control protocol for a patient with multiple limb fractures, sternum trauma as well as brain injury due to traffic accident. Following temporary external fixation during emergency treatment, 6 internal fixation procedures were performed on the patient during three surgical sessions. 4,5 months postoperatively the authors observed consolidation of all fractures with good restoration of joints function. Prophylaxis of venous thromboembolic events included low molecular heparins administration prior to the first and consequent surgical sessions as well as oral anticoagulants during intervals between procedures and for extended prophylaxis. Apart from medicinal prophylaxis the authors utilized therapeutic exercises at all treatment stages.
