Surgeons research better ways to treat trauma

Orthopaedic Surgeons at Campbell Clinic

and Le Bonheur Children’s are caring for

an increasing number of pediatric trauma

victims – and using their work to publish

trauma-related research and develop disaster

preparedness plans for the orthopaedic

community.

Volumes have increased, partly, because

of Le Bonheur Children’s new Level 1 pediatric

trauma designation by the American College

of Surgeons. The hospital is the only Level 1

trauma center in a 400-mile radius.

Studying TraumaOrthopaedists have published

several studies on trauma-related

orthopaedic injuries in recent months –

and continue to develop new areas of

investigation. Their studies include:

Treating TraumaIn 2011, Le Bonheur received a Level 1

designation

from the

American

College of

Surgeons.

Since then,

trauma cases have increased significantly at

Le Bonheur Children’s.

Blaine Mabry: Trauma

Fifteen-year-old Blaine Mabry of Savannah, Tenn., was rushed to Le Bonheur Children’s via helicopter last September after a 20-foot fall from a

homemade zip line in his backyard. Blaine landed on his left side, and

when he tried to stand up, the pain was unbearable. Blaine’s mother, Tammy, was alerted by one of his friends and rushed to her son’s side as they waited for

paramedics to arrive.“We worried he would go into

shock,” said Tammy. “His pain was so bad he was covered in sweat. He kept telling me to pray.”

Blaine had an open fracture to his left femur and a broken left wrist. Once at Le Bonheur, doctors told the family Blaine would need immediate surgery to repair the fractures.

Blaine underwent six surgeries at Le Bonheur – operations that included external fixation and rodding of his left femur and resetting and casting of his left wrist.

“Blaine had a severe open fracture with a great deal of contamination,” said Le Bonheur and Campbell Clinic Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon James Beaty, MD.

Blaine returned home after a three-week stay at Le Bonheur, but a serious infection at the fracture site brought him back to the hospital only weeks later. This time, Blaine underwent another three operations to clean his wound, and he was placed on several antibiotics.

“We knew it was serious. He could lose his leg,” said Tammy. Tammy was amazed by Blaine’s positive attitude throughout the ordeal. Even if he had to get a prosthetic leg, Blaine said, he

would walk again.

As the infection started to heal, Blaine was sent home after three weeks, where he con-tinued physical therapy. Within one month, Blaine was able to walk with the help of crutches.

Today, Blaine is doing well, says Tammy. He still walks with a slight limp and continues to see Beaty every two months to monitor his progress. A freshman in high school, Blaine was most excited to return to school.

“We are so amazed by his recovery and his determination to get better after his accident,” said Tammy. “We are so grateful to Le Bonheur and Dr. Beaty.”

Beaty receives POSNA’s Distinguished Achievement Award

Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon James Beaty,

MD, recently received the 2012 Distinguished

Achievement Award from the Pediatric

Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA).

Beaty, who is the award’s 25th recipient,

was awarded at POSNA’s annual meeting on

May 17 in Denver. Past recipients include Stuart

Weinstein, MD, Vern Tolo, MD, Newt McCullough,

MD, Mercer rang, MD, Walter Blount, MD, and

robert Salter, MD, among others. Former Campbell Clinic physician Alvin

J. ingram, MD, received the Distinguished Achievement Award in 1990.

Winners are awarded based on their leadership and achievements in the

field of pediatric orthopaedics.

Nurse practitioners

with Le Bonheur

Children’s Hospital are

sharing their research

about easing patient anx-

iety and preventing post-

operative constipation

with fellow clinicians.

In May, Leslie N.

Rhodes, PNP-BC, and Donna C. Scott, PNP-BC, presented

posters at the 2012 Pediatric Orthopaedic Practitioners Society

meeting in Denver. Rhodes presented “Anxiety in Posterior

Spinal Fusion Surgery for Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic

Scoliosis,” which demonstrates the benefits of a pre-hospitaliza-

tion tour in easing the anxiety of patients and parents. Scott

presented “Post-operative Constipation in Pediatric

Orthopaedics: A Pilot Study Comparing Miralax to Mineral Oil,”

which will use a pediatric-friendly modality of pudding and

ice cream to determine whether Miralax or mineral oil is more

effective in preventing constipation in post-op patients. Rhodes

and Scott partnered together on both studies and also presented

these posters at the April Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Conference

at University of Memphis.

The pair led a session titled “Office Orthopaedics: What

to Do for the Child with a Foot Problem” in November at

Le Bonheur’s Pediatric Orthopaedics: Common Conditions and

Injuries of the Lower Extremity in Children and Adolescents

conference. Rhodes also facilitated a roundtable discussion on

pediatric sports medicine at the 2012 Pediatric Orthopaedic

Practitioner’s Society Annual Conference held in conjunction

with the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America’s

annual conference.

Pending IRB approval, Scott is implementing a study

that aims to find effective interventions for impacting

musculoskeletal disorders related to childhood obesity.

Surgeons Aid in Disaster PreparednessPediatric Orthopaedic Surgeons Derek Kelly, MD, and William Warner, MD, are part of a national

effort to increase disaster preparedness in the field of pediatric orthopaedics. Kelly and Warner sit on

the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) committee on Trauma and Prevention

— a group that focuses on improving the treatment and prevention of orthopaedic injuries in

children through education and leadership.

In response to numerous natural and terrorist disasters in the past decade, Warner and Kelly

helped lead the committee through two major educational endeavors – a short review at the POSNA

annual meeting on the current state of disaster response in pediatric orthopaedics and a review paper

with other committee members that focused on improving awareness of issues surrounding pediatric

orthopaedic disaster response and encouraged increased participation in disasters.

“We know that children are

particularly exposed in times of

crisis and sometimes lack basic

survival skills,” Kelly said. “We

want to make sure we equip the

pediatric orthopaedic commu-

nity to care for these children in

times of disaster.”

Kelly was part of a nine-

person team from Le Bonheur

who provided disaster relief in

Haiti following the 2010 earth-

quake. The team, stationed near

Port Au Prince, treated several

cases of crush injuries, open

fractures and amputations.

Trauma admissions increased by 34 percent in 2011 – from 1011 to 1387 admissions.

Pediatric team adds new member

Former Campbell Clinic Resident David Spence,

MD, is returning to Le Bonheur and Campbell Clinic as an attending physician.

He recently completed his fellowship in pediatric orthopaedics at Boston Children’s Hospital and served as an orthopaedic surgery resident at Campbell Clinic. Spence graduated from The University of Tennessee College of Medicine, and his areas of special interest include the role of hip surveillance in children with cerebral palsy and thelong-term outcome of patients with avascular necrosis following slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

“We are happy to have David returning from his fellowship in Boston to join Campbell Clinic and Le Bonheur,” said Campbell Clinic Orthopaedic Surgeon James Beaty, MD. “David will be a great addition to our community and provide excellent care to children and families with pediatric orthopaedic needs.”

Added Spence, “It is an honor for me to return to my hometown and join the staff of Campbell Clinic, which has a rich history as a world leader in the field of ortho-paedic surgery. Moreover, I look forward to being part of the pediatric orthopaedic team at Le Bonheur Children’s and continuing to give back to the hospital that fought so valiantly for my son.”

Spence and his wife, Brittany, serve on Le Bonheur’s Family Partners Council and established a fund and sibling playroom in memory of their son, Forrest. The Forrest Spence Fund assists with the non-medical needs of critically or chronically ill children and their families.

Taryn Krier: Spinal fusion

Thirteen-year-old competitive swimmer Taryn Krier placed third out of 80 competitors at a recent Memphis-area 50-meter backstroke contest. And she was the only swimmer who underwent spinal fusion surgery seven months prior.

Taryn was 7 years old when her pediatri-cian detected a slight curve in her spine. An X-ray to see whether Taryn had pneumonia revealed the scoliosis.

“i knew that one of my students wore a back brace for scoliosis. i asked her who her doctor was. That’s when i found out about Dr. Warner,” said Taryn’s mom, Theresa Krier of Bartlett, Tenn.

The Kriers instantly loved Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. William Warner’s approach to care and how he treated Taryn with respect. Warner continued to monitor Taryn’s curve four the next four years. At age 11, Taryn was placed in a brace, which she wore for six months.

“Despite Taryn diligently wearing the

brace, her curve continued to progress,” said Warner.

By summer 2011, the Kriers knew surgery was evitable. Taryn’s curve had progressed another 20 degrees since her initial visit with Warner. The 53-degree curvature made sleeping very uncomfortable for Taryn.

Taryn underwent spinal fusion surgery on Sept. 2, 2011. Warner placed two rods and 19 screws to help straighten her spine.

“She went back to light swimming only seven weeks after surgery. The first night in her bed, she told me ‘Mom it doesn’t hurt to lay down anymore.’ That reassured us we chose the right path for Taryn,” said Theresa.

Taryn continues to swim competitively – her favorite activity. She continues to see Warner every three months in her first year after surgery and will be able to reduce those visits to once every six months after September.

“She’s my hero,” said Theresa. “We wor-ried she wouldn’t be able to swim anymore because of scoliosis. The difference between before and after surgery is huge. We’re so blessed to have Le Bonheur.”

Staff members in Le Bonheur’s orthopaedic operating suites

foster an environment of patient care that emphasizes teamwork,

reducing the risk of adverse outcomes, surgical site infection, delayed

post-operative pain medication and even patient anxiety.

Nurse anesthetist Charlene Benz and OR nurses Cheryl Perkins and

Leslie Blain agree that planning,

communication and flexibility are the

cornerstones of their team dynamic.

“Our surgical team members are

constantly seeking to improve and

find better, safer and more efficient

ways to do things,” said Jeffrey Sawyer,

MD. “Examples of their efforts include

patient padding and protection during

surgery, the administration of antibiot-

ics and communication with

parents before, during and after the

procedures. Our outcomes have

definitely improved both in terms of

safety and patient satisfaction.”

When the team switched from somatosensory-evoked potentials to

motor-evoked potentials during spine cases, it developed a protocol with

EEG techs to perform a baseline check prior to surgery, testing the inten-

sity and ensuring patient safety before the patient is prone.

“Negative repercussions of motor-evoked potentials can include bro-

ken teeth or a broken jaw, so we take gauze bite blocks and put them

between the molars, which helps prevent any injuries to the teeth or jaw,”

said Benz. “We’ve also established a routine such that we all know our

locations. If I’m putting an IV in the left hand, the EEG team is working

on the right hand while the nurse is simultaneously inserting the Foley

catheter. We’ve learned when to move in and when to step back, and we

know each other’s strengths and weaknesses.”

Other methods the team employs include hosting practice runs with

all new equipment, pre-ordering additional blood when a diagnosis

suggests more bleeding than is typical and communicating throughout the

day with key departments like

radiology, pharmacy and the unit

receiving the patient post-op. The

team also administers antibiotics after

EEG motors are placed to save time

and even issues stickers to surgeons

when they effectively minimize

blood loss.

“Giving out stickers makes the

whole room lighter,” said Perkins.

“Our cases are serious, and we don’t

lose sight of that, but things we can

do to help brighten the mood are

good. We also make an effort to stay

until the end of our case if it runs

past shift change. Even if the next shift has arrived, we prefer to stay and

see our case through.”

“Being surrounded by a team of people who are highly motivated and

very good at what they do allows me to focus on what I need to do, which

is guide the team and perform a good operation,” added Sawyer. “I don’t

have to worry about a lot of things because I know our people are doing

them and doing them well. Everyone on the team is encouraged to make

suggestions and comments to improve care. We have a mutual respect for

each other and recognize that each person plays a key role in achieving a

good outcome.”

Team approach promotes good outcomes
