This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Splint bone removal, Elevate the periosteum off the affected part of the splint bone Undermine the distal end of the splint bone and free it from surrounding fascia., Splint bone removal has Prognosis*, Suspensory desmitis can lead to Fracture of the small metacarpal/metatarsal bones, Apply tourniquet Shave and aseptically prepare surgical site, Dorsal recumbency with the injured leg suspended * Apply tourniquet, Make an incision extending from 1cm distal to the splint bone to 2cm above the site of amputation. Incise through the subcutaneous fascia and periosteum Elevate the periosteum off the affected part of the splint bone, Splint bone removal has Surgical technique, Splint bone removal has Post-op management*, Secure the remaining splint bone with small bone plates and screws if necessary Close the subcutaneous tissue with synthetic absorbable suture material, Splint bone removal has Indications, Taper the proximal end of the splint bone to avoid leaving a sharp edge, flush out loose fragments and sharply excise the periosteum Secure the remaining splint bone with small bone plates and screws if necessary, General anesthesia either Dorsal recumbency with the injured leg suspended *, General anesthesia either Lateral recumbency with affected splint uppermost, Close the subcutaneous tissue with synthetic absorbable suture material Close the skin with a monofilament nonabsorbable suture material in a simple interrupted pattern, Lateral recumbency with affected splint uppermost Apply tourniquet, Grasp the end of the splint bone with forceps. Separate the the splint bone from its attachment to the 3rd metacarpal/metatarsal bone. Taper the proximal end of the splint bone to avoid leaving a sharp edge, flush out loose fragments and sharply excise the periosteum, Shave and aseptically prepare surgical site Make an incision extending from 1cm distal to the splint bone to 2cm above the site of amputation. Incise through the subcutaneous fascia and periosteum, Splint bone removal has Complications, Undermine the distal end of the splint bone and free it from surrounding fascia. Grasp the end of the splint bone with forceps. Separate the the splint bone from its attachment to the 3rd metacarpal/metatarsal bone.
