Pass a small hand reamer through the entry site if necessary to advance the guide wire through dense bone of the proximal metaphysis. A clinical examination should be performed to rule out a ligamentous injury. Question: We performed x-rays in the office for a patient with a wrist injury. We [. ]. Test Your Mettle With This Op Report Challenge. Six embalmed cadavers (twelve femurs) were obtained for dissection. For each leg, the superior pole of the patella (SPP) was palpated and the skin marked with a transverse line. Similar marks were made at 2 cm and 4 cm proximal to the SPP. The knee was held in full extension with neutral extremity rotation. The distal femur was palpated laterally for the midline position of the femur in the anterior/posterior plane. A small skin incision was made at the midline and a 4 mm Steinman pin was drilled from lateral to medial exiting the medial skin. This was repeated at the 2 cm and 4 cm marks with additional pins (Figure. Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window). Care should be taken to use sharp reamers, to advance the reamers slowly, and to allow sufficient time between reaming steps in order for the intramedullary pressure to normalize. Rapid thrusting of the reamer may worsen the intramedullary pressure increase that is observed during nailing. This image demonstrates fat extrusion in a human cadaver specimen with a window in the proximal section. This may cause pulmonary embolization of medullary fat, which in turn may lead to pulmonary dysfunction (lower image in the enlarged view shows an example of fat embolization through the right atrium). Ensure that the pin is placed perpendicularly to the axis of the limb and in a straight horizontal plane. Choose a nail that is big enough to provide adequate fixation and that can be inserted through the tibial isthmus without excessive reaming. The nail should be strong enough to securely hold adequate distal locking screws. Typically, this requires a nail diameter of 9-10 mm or larger. This will depend upon the chosen nailing system. Usually, reaming is necessary to increase the diameter of the tibial isthmus sufficiently for easy insertion of an appropriately sized nail. The distal shaft may not require reaming. However, the dense distal epiphyseal bone usually must be reamed to where the tip of the nail will lie. Ream the canal to a minimal

2 the nail will lie. Ream the canal to a minimal diameter (reamer size) of at least mm greater than that of the selected nail. The nail should fit easily through the tibial isthmus. Question: Which CPT code should I use for closed treatment of a distal tibia fracture or a Salter II fracture of the distal tibia? California Subscriber Answer: Your code will depend on whether your orthopedist reduces the fracture using manipulation and/or traction. If he reduces the fracture without manipulation, you-ll use (Closed treatment of fracture of weightbearing articular portion of distal tibia [e.g., pilon or tibial plafond], with or without anesthesia; without manipulation). On the other hand, if he uses manipulation or traction, you-ll need (- with skeletal traction and/or requiring manipulation). The small amount of cadavers precludes a statistical analysis or anatomical differences..

American Journal of Sports Medicine. 1998, 26 (3): Note similarities and differences between HCPCS, CPT codes. Six cadavers were dissected for a total of 12 femurs. There were 5 male cadavers and 1 female cadaver. Cadaver #4 was found to have a right total knee arthroplasty and the superior medial geniculate artery was unidentifiable. All other neurovascular structures were identified in the remaining cadavers. The mean distance (db) from the superior pole of the patella SPP to the anterior to posterior line extending from the FAAH was 55.5 mm. The mean anterior to posterior distances from the SPP pin, the 2 cm pin, and the 4 cm pin to the saphenous nerve were 36.8 mm, 35.2 mm and 33.8 mm respectively. The mean anterior to posterior distances from the SPP pin, the 2 cm pin, and the 4 cm pin to the superior medial geniculate artery were 9.4 mm, 11.5 mm and 12.9 mm respectively. The mean diagonal distances (dc) from the SPP pin, the 2 cm pin, and the 4 cm pin to the FAAH diagonally were 59.8 mm, 44.5 mm and 33.9 mm respectively. The mean anterior to posterior distance (da) from the SPP pin, the 2 cm pin, and the 4 cm pin to the femoral artery were 35.8 mm, 31.3 mm and 29.6 mm respectively. ), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Traditional teaching has recommended a medial entry site with blunt dissection for insertion of the traction pin to minimize risk of injury to the femoral artery as it passes through Hunter's canal [ 3 ]. However, a review of the literature reveals no anatomic justification for this practice. In addition, medial entry for traction pin placement can be technically more demanding as the contralateral extremity often blocks drill positioning. This often requires manipulation of the injured extremity to either elevate it relative to the contralateral extremity or to externally rotate it. Alternatively the contralateral extremity needs to be moved out of the way. The objectives of this anatomical study were to evaluate the risk to the femoral artery and other medial neurovascular structures using a lateral pin entry approach, and to evaluate the optimal position for lateral entry traction pin placement. You would code procedure codes for the removal of internal fixation devices, screws, wires, and pins and modification/removal of these devices using CPT code for the removal of a superficial implant or CPT code for removal of a deep implant (buried wire, pin, screw, or rod), which requires a surgical procedure.

Photograph showing 4 mm Steinman pins inserted at the distal femur from lateral to medial at the level of the superior pole of the patella (SPP), at 2 cm, and at 4 cm proximal to SPP. The adductor hiatus, the tendinous insertion of the adductor magnus and the femoral artery were then identified. The area at which the femoral artery crossed the adductor hiatus (FAAH) was visualized in each case. Measurements characterizing this anatomic landmark relative to the pins were obtained. These include the distance (db) from a line drawn from the SPP Steinman pin to an anterior to posterior line extending from the FAAH, the diagonal distance (dc) from each Steinman pin to the FAAH, and the anterior-posterior distance (da) from each Steinman pin to the femoral artery (either proximal or distal to the point where the artery crosses the adductor hiatus) (Figure. - pins are inserted from lateral side to avoid damaging peroneal nerve;. 3 ). Similar measurements were obtained from each of the 3 pins. Additional dissection was performed to verify that the pins exited from the mid femur in the anterior posterior plane and did not skive anterior or posteriorly. - the most common mistake is to make the incision too anterior, which causes the

The femoral artery was relatively safe and was no closer than 29.6 mm (mean) from any of the three Steinman pins. The superior medial geniculate artery was the medial structure at most risk. - traction pin must be applied w/ knee at 90 deg of flexion;. - more proximal pin insertion risks injury to femoral artery at Hunter's canal;.

Skeletal traction via a femoral or tibial traction pin assists in the reduction and transient stabilization of acetabular fractures with or without concomitant hip dislocation, pelvic vertical shear injuries, foreshortened femoral shaft fractures, and other pelvic, hip or femur injuries where splinting is not effective. Placement of a femoral or a tibial traction pin involves the risk of ligamentous knee injury, intramedullary canal contamination, vascular and/or nerve injury, intra-articular contamination, and generation of a stress riser [ 1,. Femoral Artery Saphenous Nerve Lateral Entry Embalm Cadaver Contralateral Extremity. Authors: Martin Hessmann, Sean Nork, Christoph Sommer, Bruce Twaddle. 3 ). Similar measurements were obtained from each of the 3 pins. Additional dissection was performed to verify that the pins exited from the mid femur in the anterior posterior plane and did not skive anterior or posteriorly. Ream the canal to a minimal diameter (reamer size) of at least one millimeter greater than that of the selected nail. This will depend upon the chosen nailing system. Usually, a 9-10 mm or larger should be chosen. A clinical examination should be performed to rule out a ligamentous injury. Special situation: conversion from an external fixator to an intramedullary nail. It is important to maintain accurate reduction of the distal segment while distal locking is carried out. The number and position of distal locking screws is determined by the individual locking configuration of the nail and by the fracture morphology. Insert the greatest number of screws distal to the fracture as possible. Screws may injure local vessels and nerves. Bluntly dissect to the bone surface before drilling to reduce this risk. Occasionally, the most proximal of the distal locking screws can help reduce or fix a more proximal extension of the fracture pattern as shown in the illustration.
