The rооt оperаtion __________ is used to code displаced frаctures and includes the application of acast.
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Open wоund left lоwer extremity stаtus pоst fаsciotomies of the leftlower extremity for compаrtment syndrome status post external fixator for left tibial plateau fracture. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Open wound left lower extremity status post fasciotomies of the leftlower extremity for compartment syndrome status post external fixator for left tibial plateau fracture. PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Irrigation and debridement of the left lower extremity ofthe medial and lateral wounds, both greater than 10 cm each. ANESTHESIA TYPE: General. ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS: Less than 10 mL COMPLICATIONS: None. INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY: The patient is a 59-year-old male with the above diagnosis. The patienthad initial application of external fixator and fasciotomies performed by my partner on November 23rd.The patient had open wounds, initially had application of a wound VAC with the intent to bring him backto the operating room for repeat I and D, possible ORIF, possible wound closure. Preoperatively, thepatient’s leg had too much soft tissue swelling. He did not have a positive wrinkle sign, so the soft tissueswere too swollen to proceed with definitive fixation, so the decision for maintaining the fixator and justdoing irrigation and debridement along with possible wound closure was made at that time. Risks andbenefits were explained to the patient. He made an informed decision to proceed with the aboveprocedure. PROCEDURE: The patient was seen preoperatively. The left lower extremity was marked. He wasbrought in the operating room, placed on the operating table, given a general anesthetic. The left lowerextremity was then thoroughly prepped and draped in standard orthopedic fashion. Once that was done,universal protocol of a time-out was taken to confirm that the left lower extremity was the correctoperative site. Once that was done, 3 liters of lactated Ringer’s laced with bacitracin was used for bothmedial and lateral wounds. Any nonviable or necrotic subcutaneous tissue was debrided down from both wounds. There was not an excessive amount of bleeding, and the wounds were closed with interruptedsubcutaneous 2-0 Vicryl for the subcutaneous layer and a running 4-0 V-Loc for the skin. Wounds werethen dressed with Steri-Strips, Xeroform, 4 × 4s and Ace wrap. Xeroform was also placed around the pinsites for the external fixator which was also prepped out from the procedure. The patient was also noted tohave some fracture blisters and several abrasions to the skin. Once the leg was dressed, the patient wasextubated and transferred to postanesthesia recovery unit in stable condition. All sponge and sharp countswere correct.
