Abstract

Introduction: Sideswipe injury is often described as a complex elbow injury occurring when the elbow rests on a side bar of the window of a vehicle and is then impacted by another vehicle travelling in the same or opposite direction. Side swipe injury to the leg is uncommon. Although the term side swipe is mostly used for elbow injuries, we came across a case of open comminuted fibular fracture of right leg resulting from side swipe while travelling in a tricycle.
Case Presentation: A 27-year-old male presented to us after sustaining an injury to his right leg while he was travelling in a tricycle with his right leg protruding out. There was an open wound of size 20 cm x 10 cm on lateral aspect of the middle one-third of his right leg and x-rays revealed a comminuted fracture of mid shaft of fibula. He was managed with debridement, vacuum assisted closure (VAC) dressing, split thickness skin grafting and plaster immobilization. At one year follow-up, the patient had excellent function in the leg with no activity limitation and just a minor loss of power in eversion.
Conclusion: Sideswipe injury of the leg is an infrequently reported entity and can occur if the leg is protruding out while riding in a tricycle (autorickshaw).
Keywords: Leg, Sideswipe injury, Tricycle related injury.

Abstract

Background: Fractures of distal end of radius are the most common fractures among the patients treated at emergency rooms. Despite a considerable progress in medical field over the last several years, distal end of radial fracture outcomes seem to be unsatisfactory in fairly large number of cases. The aim of this study was to determine the functional outcome of hand and wrist after distal end of radius fractures managed by different treatment modalities, to determine the complications of each methods used for treatment of distal end of radius fractures, to compare anatomical outcome with functional outcome after management of fracture distal end of radius.
Methods: A clinical, observational, prospective type of study was carried out on 40 cases with fractures of distal end of radius. The fractures were classified according to AO classification. After initial evaluation patients were taken up for either conservative or operative treatment. All the cases were followed up and assessed for minimum of 6 months. Patients with complications were followed up more frequently. Results: Anatomical results were evaluated according to Sarmiento’s modification of Lindstrom Criteria. Clinical and functional results were evaluated according to demerit point system of Gartland and Werley with Sarmiento modification
Conclusions: There is direct relationship between anatomical result and functional outcome. Therefore, every effort should be made to restore normal length and alignment, as well as articular surface congruency of distal radius.
Keywords: Distal end of radius, Demerit point system of Gartland and Werley with Sarmiento modification, Sarmiento’s modification of Lindstrom Criteria, Functional evaluation
