Methodological Instruction to Lesson No 9 for 3rd – year students of the medical faculty (Practice – 6 hours).
THEME:
1. Acute purulent diseases of a hand (2 hours).
2. Purulent diseases of bones (2 hours).
3. An acute specific surgical infection (2 hours).
Independent student’s work (1hour). Purulent – necrotic processes of a brush.
AIM: To learn a symptomatology of different forms of panaritiums and phlegmons of a hand, to seize their diagnostics. To acquire questions of prophylaxis and modern principles of treatment. To learn to distinguish a symptomatology of osteomyelitis. To acquire modern methods of diagnostics, principles of treatment and prophylaxis of occurrence of purulent diseases of bones and joints.
To learn to distinguish and estimate value of syndromes in early diagnostics of a tetanus, to carry out complex prophylaxis and treatment. To acquaint students with clinical displays of anthrax, a diphtheria of wounds, to methods of prophylaxis and treatment.
PROFESSIONAL MOTIVATION: Hand – the basic organ of work, organ of influence of the person on an environment. Values of a brush in human life induces physicians to concern with special attention to prophylaxis and treatment of its diseases and traumas.
Almost 2 % of the population is sick on acute purulent diseases of a hand and fingers which in polyclinic surgical practice occupy one of the first places. That is all 1/3 patients on different purulent diseases which for the first time have addressed in a polyclinic, make persons with purulent-inflammatory diseases of a hand and fingers.
Purulent diseases of a hand are the important social problem in connection with high frequency of occurrence, a plenty lost operating time, the material inputs connected to payment of a temporary disability, and by adverse results. They demand of the doctor of a profound knowledge and skills in questions of diagnostics and medical tactics.
Necessity of illumination of problem of osteomyelitis caused by insufficient studying of a pathogeny, difficulty of diagnostics, late hospitalization, absence of unity of views on a choice of methods of diagnostics, rational volume of operation, conducting the postoperative period.
The tetanus continues to remain one of 10 main reasons of mors of the population. Extremely long conservation of spores of the originator of anthrax in ground will cause of constant vigilance and knowledge of all aspects of this illness dangerous to the person. Important value gets also the professional factor. At cattlemen, shepherds, workers of the leather industry possible antrax, and at diggers, workers of an agriculture – a tetanus.

B. A subskin panaritium.
C. A carbuncle.
D. A furuncle.
3. Patient A., 26 years old has received a microtrauma (puncture) of a nail phalanx of the IInd finger of the left hand. 5 days later has addressed in a polyclinic where the diagnosis was exposed: a hypodermic panaritium of nail phalanx of the IInd finger of the left hand. Under what anesthesia it is expedient to execute disclosing of a panaritium?
A. Local infiltrative anaesthesia.
B. An intravenous narcosis.
C. Intraosseous anaesthesia.
D. A conduction anaesthesia by Oberst-Lukachevitch.
E. Intubatioarcosis.
4. Patient M., 60 years old, admit in surgical department 10 days later from the beginning of disease with complaints to pains in a region of the IInd finger of the left hand, infringement of function of a finger, the general delicacy, a fervescence up to 38°С. Objectively: a condition of the patient satisfactory, pulse 90 per 1 minutes, arterial pressure – 120/80 mm Hg., a body temperature 38°С, IInd finger of the left hand dwarfed, deformed, a skin hydropic, cyanotic. In the field of an average phalanx on a palmar surface – is a fistula up to 0,3 sm with purulent discharges. Flexion contracture of finger. Active movements are absent. On a roentgenogram a destruction of a bone of middlephalanx is determined.
What disease at the patient?
A. A bone panaritium.
B. A pandactylitis.
C. Tendovaginitis.
D. A subskin panaritium as “cuff link”.
E. A thecal whitlow.
Real-life situations to be solved:
5. Patient E., 35 years old, was treated during 3 days concerning a thecal whitlow of the fifth finger of the left hand. On given time of the complaint for a pain in a hand, infringements of a flexion of the Ist and Vth fingers. Objectively: expressed edema and morbidity in the field of the Ist and Vth fingers, rise in temperature up to
6. Patient K., 18 years old, has addressed in surgical department with complaints to a throbbing pain in the field of the thumb of the right hand. From an anamnesis it is known, that 2 days later has received insignificant wound in time of nails paring. Objectively: nails platen is swollen in lateral side, hyperemia is observed. From under it is allocated insignificant quantity of white pus.
