ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Fazer uma revisão dos pacientes portadores de Osteogênese Imperfeita avaliando o tratamento cirúrgico das fraturas e deformidades nos membros inferiores para determinar a eficiência da técnica utilizando as hastes fixas (não-extensíveis). CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODO: Foram revisados os prontuários, radiografias pré-operatórias e pós-operatórias de todos os pacientes portadores de Osteogênese Imperfeita que foram tratados no Alfred I duPont Institute (EUA) entre 1965 e 1999. RESULTADOS: Quatorze pacientes (cinco meninos e nove meninas) foram submetidos às hastes fixas nos membros inferiores com um total de 37 procedimentos realizados. CONCLUSÃO: O procedimento de fixação intramedular com hastes não extensíveis mostrou ser um método de baixa morbidade, capaz de manter e até mesmo de melhorar o status de deambulador destes pacientes.


OBJECTIVE: To provide a review of patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta by analyzing the deformities, fractures and results of surgical treatment on lower limbs in order to determine the efficiency of the use of non-elongating rods (non extensible). MATERIALS AND METHOD: Medical records, preoperative and postoperative X-ray images of all the patients who had imperfect osteogenesis and treated at the Alfred I duPont Institute (USA) between 1965 and 1999 have been reviewed. RESULTS: Fourteen patients (five boys and nine girls) were submitted to the non-elongating rods on their lower limbs, totaling 37 procedures. CONCLUSION: The procedure of intramedullary fixation with non-elongating rods to treat fractures and deformities on lower limb in Osteogenesis Imperfecta was proven to be a low morbidity method without interfering with the ambulatory status of these patients.
