The role of angioembolization and C-clamp fixation: Damaged control orthopaedic in haemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Unstable pelvic fracture may emerge to major bleeding complication. Angioembolization is one of method to stop the bleeding effectively. This case series aims to analyze whether the bleeding of unstable pelvic fracture is managed by angioembolization to achieve the better functional outcome.

Presentation of case

Three cases of haemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture were studied retrospectively and prospectively. A staged approach using damage control orthopaedic surgery was performed. Initial resuscitation began from fluid resuscitation, pelvic wrapping using binder. All patients followed with pelvic external fixation, while 2 patients immediately replaced binder to C-Clamp, and 1 patient with anterior frame. Angioembolization was done to all patients. All pa
