Injuries and poisonings

Craniocerebral injury

Craniocerebral trauma - physical damage to tissue, temporarily or permanently disrupting the function of the brain. The diagnosis of craniocerebral trauma is established clinically and is confirmed by visualizing research methods

Damage to ligaments of the knee joint and meniscus

Injury to the knee often results in damage to the outer (medial and lateral collateral) or internal (anterior and posterior cruciate) ligaments or to rupture of the meniscus.

Rupture of ligaments, muscles, tendons: general information

Possible ruptures of ligaments, muscles and tendons. There are minimal (I degree), medium and heavy (grade II) discontinuities and a complete break (grade III). The third degree of damage to the ligaments can lead to instability of the joint, it is differentiated from the II degree by means of stress tests.

Dislocation: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Dislocation - complete dissociation of bone ends, normally forming the joint; subluxation is a partial dissociation.

The compartment syndrome

A compartment-syndrome is an increase in tissue pressure within closed fascial spaces, leading to tissue ischemia. The earliest symptom is pain, disproportionate to the severity of the injury. Diagnosis is based on the measurement of intrafascial pressure.

Fracture of the ribs: symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Fractures of the ribs usually occur with a blunt chest injury, often under the influence of a significant external force (for example, when the car stops abruptly, hit with a baseball bat or falls from a height).

Fractures: general information

Fractures - violation of the integrity of the bone. Symptoms of fractures are pain, swelling, hemorrhage, crepitus, deformity and limb function.

Technique of suturing

The goal is to closely match the edges of the wound, eliminating their tucking and the formation of closed spaces in the wound, to minimize the tension of each individual suture, leaving a minimum of foreign material in the subcutaneous tissue.

Trauma treatment

Treatment includes wound toilet, local anesthesia, examination, surgical treatment and suturing. The tissues should be treated as carefully as possible.

Injury: general information

Proper treatment of traumatic wounds promotes accelerated healing, minimizes the risk of infectious complications and optimizes the cosmetic result.
