ABSTRACT

La separación por fractura de la epífisis del fémur distal es una lesión relativamente poco frecuente en los recién nacidos, pero se ha documentado como una complicación del parto distócico. La mayoría de los casos ocurren a nivel distal del húmero y, de manera excepcional, afectan al fémur. La epifisiolisis distal del fémur casi no está descrita en la literatura. Se localizan normalmente en el tercio superior del fémur por un movimiento de torsión de este en los partos en posición podálica e incluso en cesáreas distócicas. El diagnóstico diferencial al inicio de la exploración suele ser con artritis séptica del recién nacido. A partir de un paciente de 3 días de vida que se presenta a su control posterior al alta con tumefacción en una de sus rodillas, se plantea este difícil e infrecuente diagnóstic


Fracture separation of the epiphysis from the distal femur is a relatively rare lesion in newborns, but it has been documented as a difficult complication of labor. Most of the cases occur at the distal humeral level and exceptionally affect the femur. Epiphysiolysis of the distal femur is practically not described. They are normally located in the upper third of the femur due to a twisting movement of the femur in breech deliveries and even in difficult caesarean sections. The differential diagnosis at the beginning of the examination is usually with septic arthritis of the newborn. This difficult and infrequent diagnosis arises from a 3-day-old baby who presents for his post-discharge check-up with swelling in one of his knees.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: This report described pathological fracture of the femoral head (physeal dysplasia) in four male cats (three mixed breed and one Bengal), with an average age of 16 months, treated by an ostectomy of the femoral head and neck. Three cats were neutered and one entire. All presented with mild intermittent lameness in the pelvic limbs. Displacement of the femoral epiphysis and resorption of the femoral neck were present and excision of the femoral head and remaining neck was performed in all cases. Hstological examination showed mild foci of compaction and trabecular fibrosis with deposition of fibrous connective tissue, permeated by granulation tissues, consistent with the original diagosis. Limb function improved in all patients from 2 to 4 weeks postoperatively. Diagnosis of physeal dysplasia is challenging and treatment is different from acute traumatic fractures. Femoral head and neck excision was considered a good alternative in these patients.


RESUMO: Este trabalho descreve a fratura patológica da cabeça do femur (displasia fiseal) em quatro machos (três raças mistas e um Bengal), com idade média de 16 meses, que foram tratados com ostectomia da cabeça e colo femorais. Três gatos eram castrados e um inteiro. Todos apresentaram leve claudicação intermitente nos membros pélvicos. O deslocamento da epífise femoral e a reabsorção do colo femoral estavam presentes, a excisão da cabeça e colo femoral foi realizada em todos os casos. O exame histológico mostrou focos de compacteção e fibrose trabecular com deposição de tecido conjuntivo fibroso, permeado por tecidos de granulação, consistentes com o suposto diagnóstico. A função dos membros melhorou em todos os paciente entre dois a quatro semanas pós-operatório. O diagnóstico da displasia fiseal pe desafiador e o tratamento é diferente das fraturas traumáticas agudas. A excisão de cabeça e colo femoral é considerada uma boa alternativa nesses pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: La epifisiólisis femoral proximal o deslizamiento capital femoral es un trastorno de la cadera que se caracteriza por un desplazamiento de la epífisis sobre la metáfisis a través de la fisis (cartílago de crecimiento), quedando la epífisis posterior e inferior. Es una entidad relativamente frecuente en atención primaria y prehospitalaria que genera dolor y limitación de cadera; sin embargo, por su sintomatología vaga es usualmente infradiagnosticada o es diagnosticada tardíamente generando consecuencias a largo plazo. Si se tienen en cuenta los factores de riesgo asociados a una adecuada exploración física y el uso imágenes diagnósticas se lograría hacer un diagnóstico oportuno y una disminución de la tasa de complicaciones.


Abstract: Proximal femoral epiphysiolysis or slipped capital femoral is a hip disorder characterized by a displacement of the epiphysis over the metaphysis through the physis (growth plate), leaving the epiphysis in a posterior and inferior position. It is a relatively frequent entity in primary and prehospital care that generates hip pain and limitation. However, due to its vague symptoms, it is usually underdiagnosed or diagnosed late, generating long-term consequences. If the risk factors associated to an adequate physical examination and the use of diagnostic images are taken into account, a timely diagnosis and a reduction in the rate of complications would be achieved.


Resumo: A epifisiólise proximal do fêmur ou escorregamento epifisário proximal do fêmur é um transtorno do quadril que é caracterizado por um deslocamento da epífise sobre a metáfise por meio da fise (placa de crescimento), ficando a epífise posterior e inferior. É uma entidade relativamente frequente em atenção primária e pré-hospitalar que gera dor e limitação do quadril; contudo, por sua sintomatologia vaga, é usualmente subdiagnosticada ou é diagnosticada tardiamente, o que leva a consequências em longo prazo. Se os fatores de risco associados com uma adequada exploração física e com o uso de imagens diagnósticas forem considerados, é possível realizar um diagnóstico oportuno e diminuir a taxa de complicações.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: La epifisiólisis esternoclavicular es una lesión rara, siendo la variante posterior aún menos frecuente. Su presentación clínica puede ser sutil o puede comprometer estructuras mediastinales, ya sea inicialmente o durante la evolución, lo que constituye un cuadro grave y potencialmente fatal. Este reporte de caso documenta una disociación esternoclavicular en un paciente con esqueleto inmaduro, dada por una lesión fisaria tipo Salter y Harris 1, la que se trató quirúrgicamente mediante reducción abierta y fijación interna con lazadas en ocho transóseas con sutura no reabsorbible. Con un seguimiento de 10 meses y resultados excelentes. Esta técnica parece ser una buena opción para el tratamiento de luxación esternoclavicular en el paciente esquemáticamente inmaduro, recuperando la función y evitando complicaciones.


Abstract: Sternoclavicular epiphysiolysis is a rare lesion, the posterior variant being even less common. Its clinical presentation may be subtle, or it may compromise mediastinal structures, either initially or during evolution, which is a serious and potentially fatal picture. This case report documents sternoclavicular dissociation in a patient with an immature skeleton, given by a Salter and Harris 1-type injury, which was surgically treated by open reduction and internal fixation with transosseous configuration with non-reabsorbable suture. With a 10-month follow-up and excellent results. This technique seems to be a good option for the treatment of sternoclavicular dislocation in the schematically immature patient, regaining function and avoiding complications.

ABSTRACT

Numerosos estudios han mostrado cambios radiológicos en columnas de jóvenes atletas, especialmente en aquellos que practican deportes con altas cargas a nivel del raquis, como la gimnasia artística. Esta actividad puede producir un estrés repetitivo o un traumatismo que provoque la fractura del anillo apofisario cartilaginoso y altere su desarrollo. El objetivo de este estudio es comunicar la evolución de una gimnasta de elite con dolor lumbar agudo, lesión del anillo apofisario y lesión consecuente del disco intervertebral a quien se le indicó tratamiento conservador con faja ballenada. Para ello se realizó el seguimiento clínico y radiográfico de dicha paciente por cinco años. La fractura del núcleo de osificación epifisario es una entidad muy rara, descrita excepcionalmente en la literatura. Existe un predominio en el varón y es más frecuente en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes que practican actividades deportivas de competición. Las localizaciones más típicas son el margen inferior de L4, seguidas del margen superior de S1 y del superior de L5. Es importante la sospecha clínica como diagnóstico diferencial en un atleta de alto rendimiento con dolor lumbar. La evolución con tratamiento conservador suele ser favorable, no existen diferencias significativas con la evolución de los pacientes tratados quirúrgicamente.


Numerous studies have shown radiographic changes in the spine of young athletes, especially in those who practice sports where there is high impact in the spine, such as artistic gymnastics. These activities can produce a significant stress or trauma causing apophyseal ring fractures. The aim of this study is to report the evolution of an elite athlete with acute low back pain, lesion of the ring apophysis and a consequent injury of the intervertebral disc who was treated conservatively. In this way, we made a clinical and radiographic follow-up during 5 years. The fracture of the epiphysis ossification nucleus is an unusual entity, rarely described in the literature. It is more prevalent in male, and especially in adolescents and young adults who practice competition sports. The most frequent location is at the inferior margin of L4, followed by the superior margin of S1 and L5. It is an infrequent pathology that should be a differential diagnosis in high competition athletes with lumbar pain. The non-surgical treatment evolution is usually favorable, without significant differences with those treated with surgery. Nevertheless, it leads to vertebral degenerative changes in the long term.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las fracturas Salter-Harris VI son lesiones cuya característica es la ablación del anillo pericondral. Son infrecuentes, pero potencialmente devastadoras. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el mecanismo, el tratamiento y los resultados funcionales de estas lesiones en pie y tobillo. Materiales y Métodos: Se analizaron retrospectivamente todos los pacientes con lesiones Salter-Harris VI de tobillo y pie, tratadas entre enero de 2010 y enero de 2013. Se documentaron datos demográficos, clasificación, mecanismo de lesión, tipo de lesiones asociadas y número de cirugías necesarias. La evaluación funcional se realizó con el puntaje de la AOFAS y se tomaron radiografías para determinar viabilidad de la fisis, acortamiento o deformidad angular. Resultados: Se analizaron 5 fracturas (4 pacientes). La edad promedio fue de 7.5 años (rango 6-10 años). El seguimiento promedio fue de 26.2 meses. Tres lesiones se produjeron por accidentes de moto y 2, por auto versus peatón. Todos los casos se acompañaron de pérdida de sustancia, el 75% tenía lesiones en más de un hueso y el 50%, lesiones tendinosas asociadas. Cada paciente requirió un promedio de 3,2 cirugías. El puntaje de la AOFAS promedio fue de 79.8 (rango 62-100). Sólo el 40% de las fisis afectadas permanecían viables al último control. Conclusiones: Las fracturas Salter-Harris VI se acompañan de una gran variedad de lesiones asociadas, requieren múltiples cirugías, suelen producir un cierre precoz de la fisis y algún grado de discapacidad. Se requieren medidas preventivas para evitar la exposición de los niños a este tipo de lesiones. Nivel de evidencia: IV - Serie de casos.


Background: Salter-Harris VI fractures (SHVI) are injuries in which part of the physis is missing. They are rare in children but potentially devastating. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of production, treatment, and functional outcomes of these injuries in the foot and ankle. Methods: All patients with foot and ankle SHVI injuries treated between January 2010 and January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographics, classification, mechanism of injury, type and number of associated injuries that required surgery were documented. Patients were assessed functionally with the AOFAS score and a radiological evaluation was performed to determine the viability of the physis, limb length discrepancies or angular deformities. Results: Five fractures in 4 patients were analyzed. The average age at injury was 7.5 years (range 6-10 years). Mean follow-up was 26.2 months (range 12-37 months). Three injuries occurred as a result of motorcycle accidents, and 2 in a car accident. All were associated with soft-tissue injuries, 75% had more than one injured bone and 50% had tendon lesions. Each patient required an average of 3.2 surgeries (range 2-5). The average AOFAS was 79.8 points (range 62-100). Radiographically, only 40% of the affected physis remained viable at last follow-up. Conclusions: SHVI fractures are associated with several injuries, require multiple surgeries and often result in premature growth arrest and some degree of disability. Prevention measures are required to avoid the exposure of children to this type of injury.

ABSTRACT

A osteoporose e ou osteopenia em indivíduos infectados pelo HIV e pelo HTLV é uma complicação muito frequente. Esta alteração pode decorrer do efeito direto do retrovírus na unidade metabólica óssea, via sistema OPG RANK RANKL, por interferência com osteoblastos e ou osteoclastos ou por estímulo de produção de citocinas proinflamatórias que estimulariam reabsorção osteoclástica. Objetivo Avaliar possíveis fatores etiopatogênicos associados à osteopenia e/ou osteoporose em pacientes portadores do retrovírus HTLV1. Método: O estudo caso controle foi realizado com 49 indivíduos em cada grupo. O grupo caso compôs se de indivíduos assintomáticos infectados pelo HTLV 1 com baixa densidade mineral óssea e o grupo ?controle? foi constituído por indivíduos infectados pelo HTLV 1 que apresentavam densidade óssea normal. Os fatores preditores analisados incluíram: variáveis clínicas e sociodemográficas; exames laboratoriais de rotina e níveis séricos de marcadores do metabolismo ósseo cálcio, fósfoso, fosfatase alcalina óssea, osteocalcina, PTH, RANKL e OPG, e densitometria óssea pro DEXA da coluna lombar. Resultados Para avaliação dos prováveis fatores associados à osteopenia/osteoporose, os parâmetros analisados nos dois grupos foram testados estatisticamente, utilizando-se os testes t ou chi quadrado, conforme o caso. Os parâmetros que demonstraram significância estatística ou tendência para significância entraram em um modelo de análise multivariável para verificação de covariáveis de confundimento. Conclusão Acredita se que a identificação de fatores etiopatogênicos associados a HTLV e osteopenia osteoporose possa contribuir para políticas públicas que visem prevenção e intervenção precoce, ocasionando menores custos ao sistema de saúde pública e melhor qualidade vida e saúde ao portadores do HTLV.

ABSTRACT

Baseball-related injuries are on the rise due to its increasing popurity as an international sports. Among them, Little League Shoulder is characterized by pain when pitching and is associated with specific roentgenographic changes in adolescent baseball pitchers. Ball thrower's fracture is defined as a fracture of the humeral diaphysis resulting from overhead throwing without any external contact but it is rare in adolescents. We report a case of Little League Shoulder with a contralateral thrower's fracture of the humeral shaft related to baseball pitching in an ambidextrous adolescent baseball pitcher with a review of the relevant literature.

ABSTRACT

A fratura da extremidade proximal do úmero com luxação intratorácica foi relatada em 1949 por West, em que a fratura era, somente, do tubérculo maior. Desde então, poucos casos foram relatados na literatura, a maioria constituída por pessoas idosas, prevalecendo como indicação terapêutica artroplastia parcial. Os autores relatam o caso de um adolescente de 14 anos de idade, sexo masculino, que apresentou fratura epifisiolise da extremidade proximal do úmero com luxação intratorácica em decorrência de acidente ciclístico e que foi submetido a tratamento cirúrgico com redução, osteossíntese e reinserção do manguito rotador. A recuperação da cabeça do úmero totalmente desvitalizada e o acompanhamento do processo de necrose e revas cularização durante seis anos, em paciente adolescente, parece não terem sido previamente relatados.


Fracture of the proximal end of the humerus with intrathoracic dislocation was reported in 1949 by West, and the fracture was only a fracture of the greater tubercle. Few cases have since been published, and most of them in elderly individuals, partial arthroplasty prevailing as the therapy indication. The authors report the case of a 14 year old boy who presented with an epiphysiolysis fracture of the proximal end of the humerus with intrathoracic dislocation resulting from a bicycle accident. The boy was submitted to surgical treatment with reduction, osteosynthesis, and reinsertion of the rotator cuff. The totally devitalized humeral head recovery and the monitoring of the necrosis and revascularization process for a period of six years in a teenager patient seems to have never been reported before.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXTO: Existem diversas causas de dor no ombro do atleta. Estruturas como tendões e ligamentos são freqüentemente acometidas por lesões. No atleta jovem com esqueleto imaturo, as afecções ósseas devem ser lembradas como possíveis causas de dor. RELATO DE CASO: Os autores relatam a ocorrência da epifisiólise proximal do úmero em um atleta de ginástica olímpica e discutem a literatura a respeito do assunto. CONCLUSÃO: A lesão da placa fisária proximal do úmero em atletas é pouco freqüente. O diagnóstico precoce e correto tratamento evitam que ocorra deformidades severas e déficits funcionais.


CONTEXT: There are different causes for shoulder pain in athletes. Structures such as tendons and ligaments are frequently affected by injuries. In young athletes with immature skull, bone injuries must be ruled as a cause of pain. CASE REPORT: The authors present a case of proximal humeral epiphysiolysis in a gymnast and review literature addressing this topic. CONCLUSION: Injuries on proximal humeral physeal plates of athletes are uncommon. The early diagnosis and correct treatment can avoid deformity and functional deficits.

ABSTRACT

We, at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Pusan National University, applied epiphyseal distraction as a method of limb lengthening, using unilateral one-plane pin fixator(ORTHOFIX) and bilateral multi-plane ring fixator(SEQUOIA) to three children with limb length discrepancies and angulation deformity due to injury of epiphyseal plate, and obtained following results. l. At first case, on whose distal femoral physis, bone bridge occupied about 20% of total epiphyseal plate and distributed mainly on the lateral side. At 10 days of distraction, epiphysiolysis occurred from the lateral side at first and angulation deformity was corrected. Epiphysiolysis on the medial side of physis appeared apparently after 60mm distraction. Bone lengthening of 4.2cm and correction of 25 valgus deformity were achieved after 72mm distraction for about 10 weeks. The percentage of increase in the initial length achieved was 11.67% and healing index was 27.86. 7 months later, loss of lengthening of 2.7cm was observed and it was considered that this was due to relatively short corticalization phase. 2. At second case, on whose distal tibial physis, bone bridge occupied about 40% of total epiphyseal plate and distributed on the medial side. At 10 days of distraction, epiphysiolysis occurred on the medial side of the epiphyseal plate, but not on the lateral side and instead of further lengthening, valgus deformity of the ankle appeared. It was thought that asymmetric distraction was attributed to the difference between the force applied on the medial side and that applied on the lateral side of the epiphyseal plate by unilateral one-plane pin fixation. 3. At third case, on whose distal tibial physis, bone bridge occupied about 75% of total epiphyseal plate. No epiphysiolysis occurred. there was a difficulty in observation of epiphysiolysis because ring fixator was overlapped with the epiphyseal plate on radiographs.

ABSTRACT

Shortening and angular deformities in children are one of important orthopedic management problem. Conceptually, lengthening of the short side in treatment of limb length inequality is, in most instance, the most attractive approach to this problem. Throughout the evolution of lengthening procedures, the method that has remained most consistently acceptable is osteotomy followed by gradual distraction. However, the idea of increasing the length of or modifying the axis of s bone during growth by means of distraction of the grwoth plate is relatively new. Recently, Monticelli and Spinelli have had experience with a new and novel method of lower limb lengthening by physeal distraction. We have studied the results of effect of distraction epiphysiolysis and the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents to impede bone bridge as well as premature epiphyseal closure. There are some reports in which indomethacin could prevent reformation of a bone bridge between the epiphysis and metaphysis without inhibiting normal growth and bone remodeling. For this study, a total of 30 rabbits with an initial weight of about 600 gram was used. At operation two K-wires(l.lmm in diameter) were drilled percutaneously on parallel trscks through the epipaysis and diaphysis of proximal tibia. Epiphyseal distraction of Turnbuckle type designed at our school was applied on each side of K-wire insertion at the tibia. The correct position of pin was confirmed by radiography and the rate of distraction is 0.5–1mm per day. Distrsction was continued for 3–6 weeks and radiographs was taken every 2 weeks. Some rabbits was sacrified sfter removal of distractor. Through these examination, following results were obtained. 1. Seperation of the epiphysis from the metaphysis occurred after average 3 days, and it always occurred in the zone of provisional calcification. 2. Short term results of growth plate distraction looked promising and longer limbs were seen, but long term results were unsstisfactory with premature epiphyseal closure and bone bridge formation occuring in many cases. 3. The role of indomethacine to impede bone bridge formation across the seperated growth plate could be observed, and was found that shortening could be possibly decreased. 4. Distraction epiphysiolysis would be one of valuable leg lengthening procedure at an age when the subjects bone growth is nearly complete, and also the administration of indomethacin with growth plate distraction might be effective to diminish the significant Change of shortening or angulation in high-risk juvenile fractures.
