ABSTRACT

Introducción: El síndrome de impacto posterior es una condición que resulta de la compresión de tejidos blandos entre la cara posterior del astrágalo y el área posteroinferior de la tibia durante el movimiento de flexión plantar del tobillo y provoca inflamación de los tejidos blandos circundantes. Objetivo: Presentar un caso de síndrome de impacto posterior secundario a proceso de Stieda. Presentación de caso: Se presenta el caso de un varón de 53 años, cocinero de profesión que se quejaba de dolor en la región posterior del tobillo derecho, que se exacerbaba con la flexión plantar del tobillo sin traumatismo previo. Se descartaron lesiones de tipo tendinosas y ligamentosas al examen físico, por lo que se indica radiografía convencional. A través de la radiografía de tobillo se define proceso de Stieda el cual justifica la clínica. Por esto no se realizaron otros estudios. Conclusiones: La radiografía convencional en el contexto clínico de un síndrome de impacto posterior del tobillo permite establecer el diagnóstico sin requerir estudios de imagen de mayor complejidad(AU)


Introduction: The posterior impingement syndrome is a condition resulted of compressed posterior soft tissues, between the posterior talus and the calcaneus. Classically, this is seen at activities that cause extreme plantar flexion. Objective: To describe a posterior Ankle Impingement case secondary to a Stieda process. Case report: We report a 53 years old male, cook profession, with a chronic pain history within the posterior ankle, previous trauma was denied. At clinical examination tendon and ligament injuries were not found. Initial evaluation with conventional radiography showed the presence of a Stieda's process as cause of clinical manifestations. No further imaging studies were required. Conclusion: Conventional radiograph allows to clarify diagnosis in the posterior impingement syndrome(AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Chronic lateral ankle instability often accompanies intra-articular lesions, and arthroscopy is often useful in diagnosis and treatment of intra-articular lesions. METHODS: Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations and arthroscopic findings were reviewed retrospectively and compared in 65 patients who underwent surgery for chronic lateral ankle instability from January 2006 to January 2010. MR images obtained were assessed by two radiologists, and the inter- and intra-observer reliability was calculated. American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were evaluated. RESULTS: Abnormalities of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) were found in all 65 (100%) cases. In arthroscopy examinations, 33 (51%) cases had talar cartilage lesions, and 3 (5%) cases had 'tram-track' cartilage lesion. Additionally, 39 (60%) cases of synovitis, 9 (14%) cases of anterior impingement syndrome caused by osteophyte, 14 (22%) cases of impingement syndrome caused by fibrotic band and tissue were found. Sensitivity of MRI examination for each abnormality was: ATFL, 60%; osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT), 46%; syndesmosis injury, 21%; synovitis, 21%; anterior impingement syndrome caused by osteophyte, 22%. Paired intra-observer reliability was measured by a kappa statistic of 0.787 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.641 to 0.864) for ATFL injury, 0.818 (95% CI, 0.743 to 0.908) for OLT, 0.713 (95% CI, 0.605 to 0.821) for synovitis, and 0.739 (95% CI, 0.642 to 0.817) for impingement. Paired inter-observer reliability was measured by a kappa statistic of 0.381 (95% CI, 0.241 to 0.463) for ATFL injury, 0.613 (95% CI, 0.541 to 0.721) for OLT, 0.324 (95% CI, 0.217 to 0.441) for synovitis, and 0.394 (95% CI, 0.249 to 0.471) for impingement. Mean AOFAS score increased from 64.5 to 87.92 (p < 0.001) when there was no intra-articular lesion, from 61.07 to 89.04 (p < 0.001) in patients who had one intra-articular lesion, and from 61.12 to 87.6 (p < 0.001) in patients who had more than two intra-articular lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Although intra-articular lesion in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability is usually diagnosed with MRI, its sensitivity and inter-observer reliability are low. Therefore, arthroscopic examination is strongly recommended because it improved patients' residual symptoms and significantly increased patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Aún se discute sobre el tratamiento idealde las lesiones graves del ligamento lateral externo (LLE)del tobillo. Si bien ya no se la considera una lesión menor, los defensores del tratamiento funcional temprano (no operatorio) son numerosos. La sutura directa reconstituye la anatomía, permite la rehabilitación inmediata, aun portando el yeso posoperatorio, y reduce los tiempos de inmovilización. Es un procedimiento quirúrgico rápido y con mínima morbilidad. Sobre la base de los criterios anatómicos, los hallazgos quirúrgicos y la restitución funcional obtenida, se justifica la reparación abierta primaria de las lesiones graves agudas del LLE del tobillo cuando la inestabilidad clínica y radiológica es manifiesta.Materiales y métodos: Entre marzo de 2006 y marzo de2007 se evaluaron 29 pacientes sometidos a tratamientoquirúrgico (24 varones y 5, mujeres), de entre 16 y 50años, con un seguimiento de 6 meses a 9 años. De acuerdo con los criterios propuestos, se operaron a aquellos que habían sufrido un esguince lateral grave (bostezo externo mayor de 15º), sin episodios previos, diagnosticados en el período agudo, con no más de dossemanas de evolución. Se solicitaron radiografías simples y con estrés del tobillo y en 7 de ellos, resonancia magnética (RM). Se practicó la reparación por sutura directa de la lesión y en 6 pacientes se adicionaron anclajes óseos. Se confeccionó una grilla y se evaluó: dolor, movilidad, estabilidad, función, complicaciones y conformidad. Resultados: El dolor fue más común dentro del primer año. La flexoextensión activa se redujo 5º en promedio durante el primer año. En cuanto a la movilidad pasiva/estabilidad, un paciente quedó con un bostezo clínico sintomático e inestabilidad manifiesta (defecto técnico). Trece pacientes presentaron un pequeño bostezo residual asintomático. La rigidez subastragalina fue transitoria. En lo que se refiere a la función/marcha/práctica deportiva,un tercio de los pacientes no pudieron retoma...

ABSTRACT

Thirty-four patients [34 ankles] with acute injuries of the lateral ligament of the ankle [grade III] within 48 hours were treated by two different lines of treatment. Group A [14 patients] was treated by a primary surgical repair of the torn ligament, followed by below knee cast for four weeks and Group B [20 patients] was treated by applying an immediate below knee walking cast for four weeks. Both groups were subjected to physiotherapy program. The evaluation of the cases included objective and subjective data and the period of the follow up ranged from 6 to 12 months. There was no significant difference between both groups
