Resultado de tratamiento de la enfermedad de Dupuytren / Treatment Outcome of Dupuytren's Disease

RESUMEN Introducción: La enfermedad de Dupuytren es una contractura de la fascia palmar debida a proliferación fibrosa, que provoca deformidades en flexión y pérdida de la función de los dedos de la mano. Puede también localizarse en las plantas de los pies, el pene y otras partes del cuerpo; un gran por ciento de los casos son de causa desconocida. Objetivos: Describir las variables sexo, enfermedades acompañantes, hábitos tóxicos y edad de los pacientes estudiados con la afección, e identificar las complicaciones relacionadas con la técnica quirúrgica aplicada. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo longitudinal en pacientes con enfermedad de Dupuytren, atendidos en el Hospital Carlos Manuel de Céspedes de Bayamo, en el período comprendido entre enero de 2018 y diciembre de 2019. La recolección de datos se realizó a través de las historias clínicas. La muestra fue de 67 pacientes atendidos en este periodo. Para la evaluación se utilizó el sistema de evaluación propuesto por Leuking Hung. Resultados: La enfermedad fue más frecuente en el sexo masculino y en el grupo de 51 a 60 años; se diagnostica más en fumadores, diabéticos y alcohólicos; los síntomas que más se presentaron fueron la presencia de cuerdas y nódulos; el tratamiento más utilizado fue la cirugía mediante zetaplastia; las infecciones en el sitio quirúrgico constituyeron la principal complicación. Conclusiones: En más del 73 por ciento de los pacientes tratados se obtuvieron resultados aceptables(AU)

ABSTRACT Introduction: Dupuytren's disease is a contracture of the palmar fascia due to fibrous proliferation, which causes flexion deformities and loss of function of the fingers of the hand. It can also be located on the soles of the feet, the penis and other parts of the body; a large percent of cases are of unknown cause. Objectives: To describe the variables sex, accompanying diseases, toxic habits and age of the patients studied with the condition, and to identify the complications related to the applied surgical technique. Methods: A longitudinal descriptive observational study was carried out in patients with Dupuytren's disease, treated at Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Hospital in Bayamo, from January 2018 to December 2019. Data collection was performed through the medical records. The sample consisted of 67 patients seen in this period. For the assessment, Leuking Hung´s evaluation system was used. Results: The disease was more frequent in males and in the group of 51 to 60 years. It is more diagnosed in smokers, diabetics and alcoholics; the most common symptoms were the presence of cords and nodules; zetaplasty surgery was the most used treatment. Surgical site infections were the main complication. Conclusions: In more than 73 percent of the treated patients, acceptable results were obtained(AU)

Profil épidémiologique et anatomopathologique des fractures de Dupuytren à Kisangani-R.D Congo

Introduction. Les fractures deDupuytrensont des fractures graves, secondaires aux accidents de trafic routier, touchant plus les adultes jeunes. L'objectif de cette étude était de déterminer le profil épidémiologique des malades présentant la fracture de Dupuytren et de décrire les caractéristiques anatomopathologiques de ces fractures afin de définir la prise en charge adéquate de ces patients cibles.Méthodologie.Cette étude transversale, descriptivea été réalisée au Département de Chirurgie des Cliniques Universitaires de Kisangani, sur une période de 11 ans, du 1er Janvier 2003 au 31 Décembre 2013. Cinquante-six fractures de Dupuytren ont été retenues suivant les critères d'inclusion de l'étude.Résultats.La prévalence des fractures de Dupuytren était 9,5% des cas, intéressant plus les adultes jeunes âgés de 30 à 40 ans, sans différence significative entre le sexe masculin et le sexe féminin. La fracture de Dupuytren basse a été majoritaire (82,1% de cas). L'accident de trafic routier était la cause principale de nos fractures avec 34 cas soit 60,71%. Le choc indirect a été le mécanisme le plus retrouvé chez nos traumatisés avec 49 cas soit 87,5%.Conclusion.Les fractures de Dupuytren sont fréquentes à Kisangani touchant plus souvent l'adulte jeune actif.

Epidemiological analysis of patients with Dupuytren's disease / Análise epidemiológica dos pacientes com doença de Dupuytren

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the risk factors and analyze the characteristics of patients and lesions in Dupuytren's disease. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with Dupuytren's disease in a hand surgery clinic in 2013. The authors evaluated parameters associated with the patient profiles and risk factors, the form and severity of involvement, and characteristics of the lesions. Results: 58 patients were evaluated, totaling 79 hands, with bilateral involvement in 46% of cases. The involvement of the ulnar fingers of the hand represented 78%, 44% being the ring finger. In 55% of cases, the patients had cords, while 45% showed only nodules. As for related factors, they were found most commonly in men (55%), whites (93%), and the elderly. Of coexisting diseases, the following were present: diabetes mellitus (49%), especially in the insulin-dependent (62%), hypertension (55.2%), and dyslipidemia (19%). With regard to lifestyle, 22% were smokers and 9% were alcohol consumers. Conclusion: It was observed a higher incidence of Dupuytren's disease was observed among men, whites, and the ulnar fingers of the hand, especially the ring finger. The most common associated diseases were diabetes mellitus and hypertension.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores de risco e analisar as características dos pacientes e das lesões encontradas em portadores da doença de Dupuytren. Métodos: Análise retrospectiva dos pacientes diagnosticados com a doença de Dupuytren no ambulatório de cirurgia da mão em 2013. Foram avaliados parâmetros associados ao perfil dos pacientes e fatores de risco, a forma e gravidade do acometimento e as características das lesões. Resultados: Foram avaliados 58 pacientes, 79 mãos, com acometimento bilateral em 46% dos casos. O envolvimento dos dedos do lado ulnar da mão representou 78%, 44% dos casos no dedo anular. Em 55% dos casos os pacientes apresentavam cordas, enquanto 45% mostravam apenas nódulos. Quanto aos fatores relacionados, encontramos predomínio em homens (55%), brancos (93%) e idosos. Das doenças coexistentes, estavam presentes a diabetes mellitus (49%), especialmente nos insulinodependentes (62%), hipertensos (55,2%) e dislipidêmicos (19%). Com relação aos hábitos de vida, 22% eram fumantes e 9% etilistas.

Enfermedad de Dupuytren: revisión / Dupuytren disease

Background: Dupuytren disease (DD) is a connective tissue disorder that consists in fibroma-tosis of the palmar and digital fascia (in form of nodules or flanges) that leads to the development of flexion contractures of the palm and fingers. The little and ring finger are particularly affected. The disease can limit hand function, reducing the quality of life. The disease can have a traumatic origin and is also associated with conditions such as diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, dyslipidemia, epilepsy and AIDS, among others. However, none of these conditions can fully explain the genesis of DD. A hereditary component is described in 40% of patients and is attributed to an autosomal dominant gene of variable penetrance, probably related to collagen synthesis. However there are also spontaneous and recessive inheritance cases. The diagnosis is clinical and based on physical examination. Treatment ranges from observation or use of injectable collagenase to the surgical option in cases with significant functional limitations.
