Fat embolism syndrome is one of the many complications in traumatology, which carries a serious danger due to the difficult diagnosis at the early stages of its development. In many medical sources, fat embolism syndrome is described as a severe condition characterized by obturation of blood vessels by embolus, which are represented by fat droplets larger than 7-9 microns. Fat embolism is usually caused by trauma, accompanied by crushing of tissues. This is especially common in fractures of the tubular bones as a result of high-energy trauma. As exemplified in the medical literature about 6-7 % of isolated fractures and 37 % of combined injuries lead to the appearance of fat embolism syndrome. Much more often, fat embolism develops in open fractures, and the frequency of its occurrence increases with a combination of open and closed fractures. Due to the fact that fat embolism is a life-threatening condition, early detection of this pathology is necessary. The purpose of this literature review is to study the pathogenesis of fat embolism, as well as the possibilities, problems and methods of early diagnosis of this pathology in trauma practice...
We study the terms of the femoral neck fracture healing, depending on the type of fractures. Currently, the diagnosis of “hip fracture” occupies a significant place in the work of a traumatologist, since this fracture tends to increase the frequency of cases, especially among people over 60 years old. This problem has long been one of the most urgent in traumatology and orthopedics, includes many facets, among which there is a high risk of complications during the operation of these fractures among elderly and senile people, the growth of people at high risk of hip fracture due to osteoporotic changes in the composition of bone tissue. And one of the sides of this problem is the non-healing and the timing of the femoral neck fracture healing, due to its anatomical features. We present the results of studies conducted at the clinical bases of the Kotovsk City Clinical Hospital and Archbishop Luke Tambov City Clinical Hospital. Aim: to study the terms of the femoral neck fracture healing, depending on the type of fractures. Task: to conduct studies, observations, collect statistical data on the management of patients with femoral neck fracture and, based on the results obtained, to characterize and evaluate the terms of femoral neck fractures healing
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
