ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The spur or the supracondyloid process of the humerus has been of special interest to anatomists, anthropologists and clinicians. Apart from the anthropological research by ancient authors and clinical studies carried out half a century ago, no study of this variation appear in the literature. The aim of the present work is to investigate this variation in the living subjects. METHODS: The present information was performed on direct radiograms of the elbow obtained from the volunteer individuals. This study was carried out over a 3-year period from 2005-2008. RESULTS: The spur was found in 9 cases among the 903 persons examined. Bilateral occurrence of the process was higher than that reported in the literature. The cases with the spur reported mild pain in the forearm over a long period. CONCLUSION: This study showed a higher occurrence of bilateral supracondyloid process than previously reported. It is also suggested that the cases reported as asymptomatic may not be fully free of the complaint of pain which might assist the clinician in their diagnosis.


OBJETIVO: El espolón o proceso supracondileo del húmero ha sido de interés especial para anatomistas, antropólogos y médicos. Aparte de la investigación antropológica por autores en la antigüedad, y los estudios clínicos llevados a cabo tan sólo hace medio siglo, no hay un estudio de esta variación en la literatura. El objetivo del trabajo presente es investigar esta variación en los sujetos vivos. MÉTODOS: La información presente procede directamente de radiogramas del codo hechos a individuos voluntarios. Este estudio se llevó a cabo por un periodo de 3 años, desde el 2005 al 2008. RESULTADOS: Se encontró el espolón en 9 casos entre las 903 personas examinadas. La ocurrencia bilateral del proceso fue más alta que la reportada en la literatura. Los casos con espolón reportaron un dolor ligero en el antebrazo por un periodo largo. CONCLUSIÓN: Este estudio mostró una ocurrencia más alta del proceso supracondileo bilateral que la reportada anteriormente en la literatura. También sugiere que los casos reportados como asintomáticos pueden no estar totalmente libres de quejas de dolor, las cuales podrían ayudar al médico en su diagnóstico.

ABSTRACT

Ao longo do processo de evolução o homem adquiriu a postura ereta. Devido à ação da gravidade surgiram algumas complicações decorrentes dessa postura; entre elas o aparecimento de osteófitos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar a incidência de osteófitos em exames laudados da coluna vertebral e qual a região da coluna mais acometida. Para isso foram utilizados 1089 laudos de 636 indivíduos, sendo 55,5% mulheres e 44,5% homens, atendidos em um intervalo de 6 meses, de janeiro a junho de 2006 em uma Clínica de Radiologia particular do Alto Tietê. Os resultados encontrados foram que dos laudos,26,9% foram considerados anormais. Das três regiões da coluna vertebral, foram encontrados osteófitos respectivamente para mulheres e homens: 15,4% e 5,7% região cervical; 13,6% e 12,4% região torácica e 17,9% e 13,7% região lombar. O grau de osteófito mais encontrado foiosteófito marginal para as regiões cervical e lombar e labiação marginal predominou na região torácica. Concluiu-se que a incidência de osteófitos do total de laudos analisados foi 26,9% ea região da coluna mais acometida foi a lombar. Além disso, as mulheres apresentaram mais casos de osteófitos que homens.


With the evolution of mankind appeared the erect posture. Due to gravity actioncomplications appeared because of this posture, like the osteophytes. The aim of this study was to investigate osteophyte incidence on vertebral column and the most affected column region. For this were used 1089 reports of 636 patients: 55.5% women and 44.5% men, attended between january and june of 2006 in a privet Clinic on Alto do Tietê, region of São Paulo. Resultsrevealed that 26.9% of reports had alterations. Region’s analysis revealed osteophytes in men and women, respectively: 15.4% and 5.7% on cervical region; 13.6% and 12.4% on thoracic region and 17.9% and 13.7% on lumbar region. The most common kind of osteophyte was marginal osteophyte on cervical and lumbar regions and marginal labium was predominant on thoracic region. The incidence of osteophytes on vertebral column was 26.9% and lumbar region was the most affected. Besides, women have more osteophytes cases than men.
