On July 8, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital said that the patient was a 68-year-old male who was admitted after a serious traffic accident with complex multiple injuries, especially a fracture of the anterior acetabulum, a ruptured pubic symphysis, and many other locations such as the clavicle, wrist, radius, cervical vertebrae, ribs, and left lung. After receiving interdisciplinary consultation and intensive care for 7 days, the patient was scheduled for surgery.
The surgical team led by Associate Professor, Doctor, Physician Le Nghi Thanh Nhan used a 3D printed bone model based on CT scan data to assess the fracture pattern and displacement in detail. Planning surgery on the model helps increase accuracy, shorten surgery time and reduce the risk of complications.
Notably, the doctors applied the improved Stoppa incision combining the Stoppa incision with the extra-iliac and inguinal window, allowing for clear exposure of the damaged area without damaging the pelvic vessels, femoral nerve or spermatic cord as with the classic technique. This is a technique that requires high expertise, contributing to reducing postoperative pain and helping patients recover quickly.
After surgery, the patient was conscious, had significant pain relief, and was able to move around lightly after 24 hours. Other fractures were also treated simultaneously to speed up the recovery process. The success of the surgery demonstrates the hospital's ability to master advanced techniques and opens up new directions for applying new technology in the treatment of complex trauma.
