52. Answer D. Serum lactate
The serum lactate is the most sensitive indicator of adequate perfusion. A normal value is
<2.5mmol/L. According to Vallier et al. (2013), <4 can be used as an indicator of resuscitation.

tiple trauma patients: development of a protocol for early appropriate care. J Orthop Trauma. 2013;27:543–551.
53. Answer D. Increase the working length
Rigidity refers to the resistance of a structure to deformation. There are a number of factors that can be used to increase rigidity, the most import­ant of which is reducing the fracture. Pin factors include increasing the pin diame ter and number of pins. Bar factors include cross-linking and reducing the distance between the bars and the skin. Working length refers to the distance between the pins either side of the fracture. Decreasing rather than increasing the working length increases rigidity.
54. Answer B. Paraesthesia over the dorsum of the foot
The L5 nerve root crosses the sacral ala. It is at risk if the sacroiliac screw is directed more than 20° laterally and penetrates the anterior cortex. For this reason, bicortical screw fixation is not recommended.
55. Answer D. Treat PCL and PLC operatively within 2 weeks, ACL within 6 weeks and MCL conservatively in a brace
Multi-ligament injuries are common after a knee dislocation and it is recommende d that the PCL and PLC are operated within 2 weeks and ACL at
6 weeks once the swelling has subsided. The MCL can be treated conservatively in a brace
56. Answer B. 14
The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is made up of the sum of the squares for the highest Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) grades in the three most severely injured regions. The ISS is based on scores of nine anatomical regions:
1. Head.
2. Face.
3. Neck.
4. Thorax.
5. Abdominal and pelvic region.
6. Spine.
7. Upper extremity.
8. Lower extremity.
9. External.
In this case the three highest scores are 3 (severe for lower extremity); 2 (moderate for chest injury); and 1 (mild for face). The squares are
2+22+12
3
=9+4+1=14
57. Answer C. Supination adduction type 2
Lauge-Hansen classification looks at the mech­anism of injury and foot position at the time of injury. The radiograph in Figure 15.32 shows a supination adduction type 2 injury and must be treated with a buttress plate.
58. Answer C. Severe soft tissue injury has the
highest impact on a surgeons decision making
The Lower Extremity Assessment Project (LEAP) was a multicentre study of severe lower extremity trauma in the US civilian population. Severe soft tissue trauma has the highest impact on a sur­geons decision-making process and absence of plantar sensation has the second highest impact on a surgeons decision making. Poor outcomes were found for both reconstruction and amputation groups. The most important factor in patient outcome is the ability to return to work.

outcome following limb-threatening lower limb trauma: lessons learned from the Lower Extremity Assessment Project (LEAP). JAm Acad Orthop Surg. 2006;14:S205S210.

59. Answer D. The nail diameter should be 60% of the isthmus diameter
Elastic nailing is used in children up to 50kg. The nails should be 40% the diameter of the isthmus, and the nail s should be pre-bent to three times the diameter of the medullary canal. The apex of nail crossover should be at the fracture site, and the entry point of a retrograde femoral nail should be proximal to the physis.
60. Answer E. Superficial peroneal nerve and tibial nerve
The posterolateral approach utilises the interner­vous plane between the peroneal muscles (super­ficial peroneal nerve) and flexor hallucis longus (tibial nerve). The posterolateral approach can be performed in the lateral or prone position.
61. Answer A. Primary ankle arthrodesis with hindfoot nail
The patient is high risk of complications from surgery and is low demand. The operation is salvage surgery and to prevent amputation of her lower leg. The medial malleolus can be removed and her ankle joint prepared for fusion via her open ankle wound which is then closed. The hindfoot nail can be compressed to allow fusion in this instance (Figure 15.46).
