ABSTRACT

La luxación periastragalina es un tipo de luxación infrecuente. Se clasifica según la relación del calcáneo con respecto al astrágalo, y las más comunes son las formas medial y lateral; y hay casos aislados de las variantes posterior y anterior. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con una luxación periastragalina cerrada posterior sin fractura asociada, el video de la técnica para la reducción cerrada bajo anestesia y también una revisión bibliográfica de esta infrecuente variedad de luxación. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


Subtalar dislocation is a rare type of dislocation that is characterized based on the relationship of the calcaneus to the talus, with the medial and lateral forms being more prevalent and the posterior and anterior forms appearing only in isolated cases in the literature. We present the case of a patient with a closed posterior subtalar dislocation without an associated fracture, as documented clinically and radiologically. We also include a video of the technique for closed reduction under anesthesia, as well as a review of the existing literature on this rare type of dislocation. Level of Evidence: IV

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El astrágalo tiene una anatomía única y juega un papel fundamental en la función del tobillo y pie. Las fracturas de astrágalo se consideran una urgencia ortopédica especialmente las fracturas de cuello desplazadas, debido al alto riesgo de necrosis avascular. Sin embargo, estas son raras en los niños con una prevalencia estimada del 0,008% de todas las fracturas pediátricas. Las fracturas del cuello del astrágalo se asocian con una alta tasa de complicaciones, entre las más importantes se destacan la artrosis postraumática y la necrosis avascular. Éstas están relacionadas principalmente con el grado de desplazamiento inicial del cuello del astrágalo y la incidencia puede ser del 100%. Objetivos: Los objetivos del presente trabajo son demostrar la evolución de un paciente con una patología poco frecuente, con una asociación lesional no reportada hasta el momento y realizar una revisión bibliográfica del tema. Material y métodos: Se evaluó de forma retrospectiva un paciente de sexo masculino de 9 años con una luxo-fractura de cuello de astrágalo de pie izquierdo asociado a una fractura de cuboides. Se evaluaron los resultados clínicos radiológicos y funcionales luego de 3 años de evolución. Resultados: En nuestro caso se realizó reducción abierta y fijación percutánea. Se logró una excelente consolidación ósea sin complicaciones y con buena funcionalidad del tobillo luego de 3 años de seguimiento. Se realizó la escala AOFAS obteniendo una puntuación de 93/100. No presentó limitaciones en cuanto al dolor, con un total de 40 puntos, no mostró limitaciones en cuanto a la función, con un total de 45 puntos. Observamos una leve desaxación en valgo del retropie, asintomático, con un total de 8 puntos. Conclusiones: Las fracturas del astrágalo son raras en la población pediátrica pero pueden ocasionar complicaciones graves. En nuestro caso observamos una fractura grave, con una asociación lesional no descrita hasta el momento, que presentó muy buena evolución, con una consolidación ósea, sin complicaciones y con buen resultado funcional a los 3 años de la cirugía. Al tratarse de una patología muy poco frecuente y rara, la bibliografía revisada es en general de baja evidencia científica y se basa en su mayoría en reporte de casos clínicos, excepto una revisión sistemática con bajo numero de pacientes.


Introduction: The talus has a unique anatomy and plays a fundamental role in the function of the ankle and foot. Talar fractures are considered an orthopedic emergency, especially displaced neck fractures, due to the high risk of avascular necrosis. However, these are rare in children with an estimated prevalence of 0.008% of all pediatric fractures. Talar neck fractures are associated with a high rate of complications, the most important of which include post-traumatic osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis. These are mainly related to the degree of initial displacement of the talar neck and the incidence can be 100%. Objectives: The objectives of this work are to demonstrate the evolution of a patient with a rare pathology, with an injury association not reported so far and to carry out a bibliographic review of the topic. Material and methods: A 9-year-old male patient with a talar neck fracture dislocation of the left foot associated with a cuboid fracture was retrospectively evaluated. Clinical, radiological and functional results were evaluated after 3 years of evolution. Results: In our case, open reduction and percutaneous fixation were performed. Excellent bone union was achieved without complications and with good ankle functionality after 3 years of follow-up. The AOFAS scale was performed, obtaining a score of 93/100. It did not present limitations in terms of pain, with a total of 40 points, it did not show limitations in terms of function, with a total of 45 points. We observed a slight valgus dexation of the hindfoot, asymptomatic, with a total of 8 points. Conclusions: Talar fractures are rare in the pediatric population but can cause serious complications. In our case we observed a serious fracture, with an injury association not described until now, which presented a very good evolution, with bone consolidation, without complications and with good functional result 3 years after surgery. As it is a very infrequent and rare pathology, the literature reviewed is generally of low scientific evidence and is based mostly on clinical case reports, except for a systematic review with a low number of patients.


Introdução: O tálus possui anatomia única e desempenha papel fundamental na função do tornozelo e do pé. As fraturas do tálus são consideradas uma emergência ortopédica, principalmente as fraturas deslocadas do colo, devido ao alto risco de necrose avascular. No entanto, estas são raras em crianças, com uma prevalência estimada de 0,008% de todas as fraturas pediátricas. As fraturas do colo do tálus estão associadas a uma alta taxa de complicações, sendo as mais importantes a osteoartrite pós-traumática e a necrose avascular. Estas estão relacionadas principalmente ao grau de deslocamento inicial do colo do tálus e a incidência pode ser de 100%. Objetivos: Os objetivos deste trabalho são demonstrar a evolução de um paciente com patologia rara, com associação de lesão até o momento não relatada e realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema. Material e métodos: Foi avaliado retrospectivamente um paciente do sexo masculino, 9 anos de idade, com fratura luxação do colo do tálus do pé esquerdo associada a fratura do cuboide. Os resultados clínicos, radiológicos e funcionais foram avaliados após 3 anos de evolução. Resultados: No nosso caso foi realizada redução aberta e fixação percutânea. Excelente consolidação óssea foi alcançada sem complicações e com boa funcionalidade do tornozelo após 3 anos de acompanhamento. Foi realizada a escala AOFAS, obtendo pontuação de 93/100. Não apresentou limitações em termos de dor, com um total de 40 pontos, não apresentou limitações em termos de função, com um total de 45 pontos. Observamos leve dexação em valgo do retropé, assintomática, com total de 8 pontos. Conclusões: As fraturas do tálus são raras na população pediátrica, mas podem causar complicações graves. No nosso caso observamos uma fratura grave, com associação de lesão até então não descrita, que apresentou evolução muito boa, com consolidação óssea, sem complicações e com bom resultado funcional 3 anos após a cirurgia. Por se tratar de uma patologia muito pouco frequente e rara, a literatura revista é geralmente de baixa evidência científica e baseia-se maioritariamente em relatos de casos clínicos, exceto uma revisão sistemática com um número reduzido de doentes.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las fracturas del cuello del astrágalo son infrecuentes, pero la tasa de complicaciones y reintervenciones es alta. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar y describir las complicaciones a mediano y largo plazo en 20 pacientes con fractura del cuello del astrágalo. Nuestra hipótesis fue que, en las lesiones graves, la reducción abierta y fijación interna genera una tasa alta de complicaciones que requerirán de nuevas intervenciones quirúrgicas. Materiales y métodos: Se evaluó a 20 pacientes con fractura del cuello del astrágalo: 6 Hawkins II (29%), 11 Hawkins III (52%) y 3 Hawkins IV (19%). El seguimiento promedio fue de 11 años. Se analizaron el tipo de fractura (simple o conminuta), las lesiones asociadas, las complicaciones y la necesidad o no de un nuevo procedimiento quirúrgico. Resultados: Once pacientes (55%) tenían lesiones asociadas y 14 (70%), conminución en el trazo de fractura. Quince (75%) sufrieron complicaciones. Nueve (45%) requirieron una segunda intervención para tratar la complicación. Conclusiones: Los factores más relacionados con el desarrollo de complicaciones y la necesidad de una nueva intervención son: conminución en el trazo de fractura, lesiones asociadas en el miembro inferior homolateral, fracturas tipos III y IV de Hawkins, y fracturas expuestas. Creemos que, en las lesiones graves del cuello del astrágalo (tipos III y IV de Hawkins) con uno o más de estos factores, la artrodesis primaria podría disminuir el riesgo de complicaciones y de nuevas cirugías, y acortar el tiempo de recuperación de los pacientes. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


Introduction: Talar neck fractures are rare but present a high rate of complications and reoperations. The objective of this work was to analyze and describe the complications in the medium and long term in 20 patients with talar neck fracture. Our hypothesis was that, in severe injuries, ORIF presents a high rate of complications that will require new surgical interventions. Materials and methods: We evaluated 20 patients with talar neck fracture: 6 Hawkins II (29%), 11 Hawkins III (52%), and 3 Hawkins IV (19%). The mean follow-up was 11 years. We analyzed the fracture pattern (simple or comminuted), the presence of associated injuries, complications, and the need to perform a new surgical procedure. Results: 11 (55%) had associated injuries and 14 (70%) had comminution in the fracture line. We presented complications in 15 patients (75%). 9 (45%) pa-tients required a second intervention to treat the complication. Conclusions: The factors most related to the development of complications and the need for a new intervention are: comminution in the fracture line, associated injuries in the ipsilateral lower limb, Hawkins type III and IV fractures, and exposed fractures. We believe that in severe talar neck injuries (Hawkins type III and IV) with one or more of these factors, primary arthrodesis reduces the risk of complications and new surgeries and shortens recovery time.

ABSTRACT

Las luxaciones subastragalinas (periastragalinas) sin fractura asociada son un cuadro poco frecuente. Representan solo el 1% de las luxaciones en el ser humano. Presentamos tres casos de luxaciones mediales puras en pacientes que sufrieron un traumatismo de alta energía. En todos los casos, el tratamiento consistió en la reducción cerrada bajo anestesia y posterior inmovilización; la evolución fue satisfactoria. Las luxaciones subastragalinas requieren de un diagnóstico temprano y una rápida resolución. Con estos casos se quiere demostrar la importancia de la sospecha diagnóstica y el beneficio de un tratamiento precoz y acertado. Nivel de evidencia: IV


Isolated subtalar dislocations without associated fracture are a rare entity. They represent only 1% of dislocations in humans. We present a series of 3 cases of pure medial dislocations in patients who suffered high-energy trauma. In all cases, the treatment was closed reduction under anesthesia and subsequent immobilization; all with good results. Subtalar dislocations require early diagnosis and rapid resolution. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate the importance of diagnostic suspicion and the benefit of early treatment for successful outcome. Level of evidence: IV

ABSTRACT

Las lesiones osteocondrales de la articulación subtalar es una patología infrecuente y de incidencia variable, dado su reporte principalmente como hallazgo en el estudio de dolor crónico de tobillo y ya con cambios degenerativos articulares. La sospecha clínica y el estudio imagenológico dirigido, permiten investigar esas lesiones en estadios iniciales, evitando así el uso de técnicas que no preservan la articulación para su manejo. La artroscopía subtalar es una excelente herramienta tanto diagnóstica como terapéutica para la resolución de dichas lesiones. Dadas las características anatómicas y biomecánicas de la articulación, en estadios iniciales, el manejo mediante sinovectomía y microfracturas es una alternativa con excelentes resultados funcionales. Este trabajo incluye dos casos de lesiones osteocondrales de la faceta posterior de la articulación subtalar manejadas vía artroscópica mediante sinovectomía y microfracturas y su posterior evolución.


Osteochondral lesions in the subtalar joint are an uncommon pathology with a variable incidence, being mainly reported as a finding in chronic ankle pain studies and with already visible degenerative joint changes at time of diagnosis. Clinical suspicion and directed imaging study, allows to investigate these lesions during early stages, thus avoiding the use of invasive techniques with scarce joint preservation. Subtalar arthroscopy is an excellent diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the resolution of these lesions. Given the anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the joint, in the early stages the management by synovectomy and microfractures is an alternative with excellent functional results. This study includes two cases of osteochondral lesions of the posterior facet of the subtalar joint managed through arthroscopically synovectomy and microfractures and their subsequent evolution.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO Mostrar una fractura infrecuente del tubérculo posteromedial del astrágalo diagnosticado y tratado de manera aguda mediante osteosíntesis con tornillo Acutrak® (2014 Acumed® LLC). MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS Varón de 28 años, que acude a Urgencias tras torcedura de tobillo con dolor al mover tobillo y hallux y tumefacción en cara interna. En Urgencias pasó desapercibida. En consulta a la semana refería sensación de que se le engancha el primer dedo con la flexoextensión. Se observa fractura del tubérculo medial de la apófisis posterior del astrágalo con desplazamiento >3mm y clínica de posible interposición del flexor hallucis longus. Se decidió tratamiento quirúrgico con tornillo Acutrak®. Se inmovilizó con férula 3 semanas y descarga 6 semanas. RESULTADOS A los 8 meses balance articular completo, sin dolor ni limitación para las ABVD y sin clínica de atrapamiento del flexor del hallux. Como complicación aguda, se verificó infección de herida quirúrgica que se trató con antibióticos. DISCUSIÓN Ese tipo de fracturas son infrecuentes. El mecanismo lesional suele ser dorsiflexión-pronación. Es importante un diagnóstico temprano y para ello es necesario una alta sospecha diagnóstica. Para su diagnóstico, son necesarias radiografías anteroposterior y lateral y si no se visualiza la lesión, proyección oblicua con 30°- 40° de rotación externa. En casos agudos resulta de utilidad la TAC y en casos crónicos la RM. CONCLUSIÓN Aunque generalmente el tratamiento es conservador, en ocasiones puede ser necesario la cirugía mediante osteosíntesis o exéresis del fragmento cuando la fractura provoca impingement.


OBJECTIVE Show an infrequent fracture of the posteromedial tubercle of the talus diagnosed and treated acutely by Acutrak® screw (2014 Acumed® LLC) osteosynthesis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A 28-year-old man attended the Emergency Department after spraining his ankle with pain when moving his ankle and hallux and swelling on the internal face. In the ER it went unnoticed. A week later in the clinic, he refered to the sensation that the first finger is hooked with the flexion extension. A fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus is observed with a displacement of > 3 mm and clinical signs of possible interposition of the hallucis longus . Surgical treatment with Acutrak® screw was made. He was immobilized with a splint for 3 weeks and discharge for 6 weeks. RESULTS At 8 months complete joint balance, without pain or limitations for BADL and without hallux flexor entrapment symptoms. As an acute complication, surgical wound infection that was treated with antibiotics. DISCUSSION These types of fractures are rare. The injury mechanism is usually dorsiflexion-pronation. Early diagnosis is important and a high diagnostic suspicion is required. Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs are necessary for its diagnosis and if the lesion is not visualized, oblique projection with 30°- 40° external rotation. CT is useful in acute cases and MRI in chronic cases. CONCLUSION Although the treatment is conservative, surgery may sometimes be necessary by means of osteosynthesis or excision of the fragment when the fracture causes impingement.

ABSTRACT

Una luxación peritalar implica la ruptura simultánea de las articulaciones talocalcánea y talonavicular. Es relativamente poco frecuente y representa aproximadamente del 1% al 1,5% de todas las lesiones traumáticas del pie. La luxación medial es la más frecuente (alrededor del 80% de los casos comunicados). Las luxaciones peritalares laterales son menos frecuentes (17%) y las posteriores (2,5%) y anteriores son raras (1%). Aproximadamente el 55% del subtipo medial y el 72% del subtipo lateral se asocian con fracturas. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 36 años que sufrió un traumatismo indirecto practicando kitesurf al caerse de la tabla tratando de evitar un accidente. Sufrió una luxación peritalar lateral con fracturas de escafoides tarsiano, calcáneo y peroné asociadas. A los tres días, se intentó una reducción cerrada y a los seis días, se realizó la cirugía. Se recomienda un diagnóstico precoz de las luxaciones peritalares y un rápido reconocimiento de las fracturas asociadas e infrecuentes, con el fin de evitar complicaciones frecuentes. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


A peritalar dislocation involves simultaneous disruption of the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints. It is relatively uncommon and account for approximately 1% to 1.5% of all traumatic foot injuries. Medial dislocation is the most frequent type accounting for approximately 80% of reported cases. Lateral peritalar dislocations are less common (17%), and posterior (2.5%) and anterior dislocations are rare (1%). Approximately 55% of medial and 72% of lateral subtypes are associated with fractures. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who suffered an indirect traumatism during kitesurf practice, after falling from the kite-board trying to avoid an accident. She presented a lateral peritalar dislocation with associated navicular, calcaneal and fibular fractures. A closed reduction was attempted three days from trauma. Six days after the lesion, surgery was performed. We recommend an early diagnosis of peritalar dislocations and a correct recognition of infrequent fractures to avoid usual complications.

ABSTRACT

La articulación de Chopart o transversa del tarso está constituida por la articulación calcaneocuboidea y la astragaloescafoidea. Las lesiones que ocurren en estas articulaciones se conocen como luxo-fractura de Chopart y son extremadamente raras. Entre las causas más frecuentes se encuentran los accidentes en motocicletas y las caídas de altura. El tratamiento es la reducción anatómica y fijación estable. La necrosis avascular del astrágalo, así como la artritis postraumática son las complicaciones más temidas. Con este trabajo se pretende describir la conducta y evolución perioperatoria de dos pacientes con luxo-fractura de Chopart, atendidos en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Militar Central Dr Luis Díaz Soto. Fueron diagnosticados tempranamente y se les realizó reducción abierta más fijación interna con una recuperación en los primeros tres meses. La baja prevalencia de la luxo-fractura de Chopart requiere un diagnóstico adecuado y correcto para lograr un buen resultado clínico(AU)


The Chopart joint or transverse tarsus is constituted by the calcaneocuboid and the astragaloescafoidea joints. The injuries that occur in these joints are known as Chopart luxo-fracture and are extremely rare. Motorcycle accidents and falls from heights are among the most frequent causes of Chopart luxo-fractures. The treatment is the anatomical reduction and stable fixation. The avascular necrosis of the talus, as well as post-traumatic arthritis are the most feared complications. This paper aims to describe the behavior and perioperative evolution of two patients with Chopart luxo-fracture, treated in the Emergency Service at Dr Luis Díaz Soto Central Military Hospital. They were early diagnosed and underwent open reduction and internal fixation. They recovered in the first three months. The low prevalence of Chopart luxo-fracture requires adequate and correct diagnosis to achieve good clinical results(AU)


L'articulation de Chopart, ou médio-tarsienne, est constituée de deux articulations distinctes: l'articulation calcanéo-cuboïdienne et l'articulation astragalo-scaphoïdienne. Les lésions produites dans ces articulations sont connues comme des fractures-luxations de l'articulation de Chopart, et sont assez rares. Parmi les causes les plus fréquentes, on peut trouver les accidents du trafic (surtout, de moto) et les chutes de haut. Le traitement consiste généralement à une réduction anatomique et une fixation stable. La nécrose avasculaire de l'astragale et l'arthrite post-traumatique sont les complications les plus souvent à craindre. Le but de ce travail est de décrire le comportement et l'évolution péri-opératoire de deux patients atteints d'une fracture-luxation de l'articulation de Chopart, et traités au service d'urgence de l'hôpital militaire Dr Luis Díaz Soto. Ils sont rapidement diagnostiqués, et traités par réduction ouverte et fixation interne. Leur récupération est réussie en trois mois. La faible prévalence de la fracture-luxation de l'articulation de Chopart exige un diagnostic précis pour atteindre de bons résultats cliniques(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of patients with talus fractures and the injuries that they present. Methods: Retrospective analysis on patients hospitalized in the Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Hospital das Clínicas, School of Medicine of the University of São Paulo, between 2006 and 2011, with talus fractures. Patient profile parameters, risk factors, fracture characteristics, treatment data and acute complications were analyzed. Results: Analysis on 23 cases showed that men were more affected than women, with a ratio of 4.8:1. The most frequent trauma mechanism was traffic accidents, followed by falls from a height. The most frequent type of fracture was at the neck of the talus, with 17 cases. Among the 23 cases, seven had peritalar dislocation at the time of presentation, four had exposed fractures and 11 presented other associated fractures. The mean length of time between the trauma and the definitive treatment was six days, while the mean length of hospital stay was 11 days. Three patients presented acute postoperative complications. Conclusion: Talus fractures occurred most commonly in the region of the talar neck and most frequently in young males who suffered high-energy trauma. In almost half of the cases, there were other associated fractures. The length of hospital stay was 11 days...

Métodos: Análise retrospectiva dos pacientes internados no Instituto de Ortopedia e Traumatologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo de 2006 a 2011 com fratura de tálus. Foram estudados parâmetros associados ao perfil do paciente e fatores de risco, características da fratura, dados do tratamento e complicações agudas. Resultados: A análise dos 23 casos mostrou que os homens foram mais afetados do que as mulheres, com uma relação de 4,8:1. O mecanismo de trauma mais frequente foram os acidentes de trânsito, seguido pelas quedas de altura. O tipo de fratura mais frequente foi a do colo do tálus, com 17 casos. Dos 23 casos, sete apresentavam luxação peritalar no momento da apresentação, quatro tinham fratura exposta e 11 apresentavam outras fraturas associadas. O tempo médio entre o trauma e o tratamento definitivo foi de seis dias, enquanto o tempo médio de permanência hospitalar foi de 11 dias. Houve três pacientes que apresentaram complicações pós-operatórias agudas. Conclusão: A fratura do tálus foi mais comum na região do colo e mais frequente em jovens do gênero masculino que sofreram traumatismos de alta energia. Em quase metade dos casos houve fraturas associadas e o tempo de permanência hospitalar foi de 11 dias...

ABSTRACT

Total talar extrusion without a soft tissue attachment is an extremely rare injury and is rarely reported. Appropriate treatment remains controversial. We describe the long-term outcomes of two patients who had complete talar extrusion without remaining soft tissue attachment treated with arthrodesis. Both of our patients had complications such as infection and progressive osteolysis. We suggest reimplantation of the extruded talus after thorough debridement as soon as possible as a reasonable option unless the talus is contaminated or missing, because an open wound may arise from inside to outside.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: apresentar nossas experiências no tratamento de más uniões ou não consolidações talares. Método: entre janeiro de 2000 e setembro de 2009, 26 pacientes com má união ou nãounião depois de fraturas do tálus foram submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico de acordo com os diferentes tipos de deformidade talar. Os desfechos do tratamento foram avaliados pela escala tornozelo-retropé da AOFAS, assim como por radiografias simples. Resultados: 20 pacientes ficaram disponíveis para acompanhamento por 30 (24 a 60) meses. Não houve problema de cicatrização ou infecção das feridas e foram obtidas uniões sólidas em todos os pacientes. As uniões radiológicas foram atingidas em tempo médio de 14 (faixa de 12 a 18) semanas. O tempo médio para concluir o apoio de carga foi 16 (faixa de 14 a 20) semanas. O escore AOFAS médio aumentou significantemente de 36,2 (27 a 43) para 85,8 (74 a 98). Conclusão: as intervenções cirúrgicas das fraturas mal-unidas ou não consolidadas dos tálus podem produzir resultados satisfatórios e o procedimento apropriado deve ser adotado, de acordo com diferentes tipos de deformidades pós-traumáticas. Nível de Evidência: IV, Estudo Retrospectivo.


Objective: To present our experiences of treating talar malunions and nonunions. Method: between January 2000 and September 2009, 26 patients with malunions or nonunions after talar fractures underwent surgical treatment according to different types of talar deformities. The treatment outcomes were evaluated using AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale as well as plain radiographs. Results: 20 patients were available for follow-up for 30 (range, 24 to 60) months. No wound healing problems or infections occurred and solid unions were achieved in all patients. Radiological unions were achieved at a mean time of 14 (range, 12 to 18) weeks. The mean time to complete weight-bearing was 16 (range, 14 to 20) weeks. The mean AOFAS score increased significantly from 36.2 (range, 27 to 43) to 85.8 (range, 74 to 98). Conclusion: surgical interventions for malunions and nonunions after talar fractures can bring about satisfactory outcomes, and the appropriate procedure should be adopted according to different types of posttraumatic deformities. Level of Evidence: IV, Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a reprodutibilidade intra-observador e inter-observador da classificação de Hawkins para fraturas do colo do talus. MÉTODOS: Selecionou-se 20 casos aleatórios de fratura de tálus para serem definidos entre os tipos da classificação por oito cirurgiões ortopédicos, 13 residentes de ortopedia e 15 de radiologia. RESULTADOS: Utilizando o teste estatístico de Landis e Kock foram obtidas médias de 0.627 e 0.668, na primeira e segunda avaliação, respectivamente. Tais valores definem uma concordância satisfatória para a classificação de Hawkins. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que tal classificação é reprodutível entre observadores, possuindo melhores valores conforme maior experiência. Nível de Evidência I, Estudos diagnósticos - Investigação de um exame para diagnóstico.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of Hawkins' classification for fractures of the neck of the talus. METHODS: 20 random cases of fracture of the talus were selected, to be defined according to the classification of types by eight orthopedic surgeons, 13 orthopedic residents and 15 radiology residents. RESULTS: Using the statistical test of Landis and Koch, measurements of 0.627 and 0.668 were obtained in the first and second evaluations, respectively. These values define a satisfactory agreement for Hawkins' classification. CONCLUSION: We conclude that this classification is reproducible between observers, with better values for the more experienced observers.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar pacientes acometidos por fratura osteocondral do talo tratados cirurgicamente através de microperfurações assistidas por artroscopia. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de 24 pacientes com lesão osteocondral do talo submetidos à microperfurações assistidas por videoartroscopia do tornozelo. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos ao sistema de avaliação da American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) no pré e pós-operatório. RESULTADOS: Foram observados 19 homens e cinco mulheres, com idade média de 35,3 anos (mínima de 17 anos e máxima de 54 anos). O tempo mínimo de seguimento foi de dois anos (máximo de 39 meses). Todos os pacientes apresentaram melhora do escore da AOFAS após o procedimento cirúrgico, com média de elevação do escore em torno de 22,5 pontos. CONCLUSÃO: A técnica de microperfurações assistidas por videoartroscopia consiste em boa opção para o tratamento das lesões osteocondrais do talo e fornece bons resultados funcionais.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate patients affected by osteochondral fractures of the talus who were treated surgically by means of arthroscopy-assisted microperforation. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out on 24 patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus who underwent microperforation assisted by videoarthroscopy of the ankle. They were evaluated using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score system before and after the operation. RESULTS: There were 19 men and 5 women, with a mean age of 35.3 years (minimum of 17 years and maximum of 54 years). The minimum follow-up was two years (maximum of 39 months). All the patients showed an improvement in AOFAS score after surgery, with an average improvement of around 22.5 points. CONCLUSION: Videoarthroscopy-assisted microperforation is a good option for treating osteochondral lesions of the talus and provides good functional results.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o resultado clínico-funcional e radiográfico dos pacientes com fraturas do colo do tálus tratados pelo Grupo de Cirurgia do Pé e Tornozelo da Santa Casa de São Paulo. MÉTODO: Avaliamos 20 pacientes, com tempo médio de seguimento de 71 meses: um com fratura do tipo I, 12 do tipo II, cinco do tipo III e dois do tipo IV, sendo quatro fraturas expostas. RESULTADOS: Um paciente foi tratado incruentamente, 16 com RAFI (três com artrodese subtalar primária), um com talectomia e dois com artrodese tibiotalocalcaneana. A redução obtida foi classificada como anatômica em sete pés, aceitável em seis, e ruim em quatro. Sete pacientes apresentaram complicações precoces. Houve um retardo de consolidação e quatro osteonecroses do corpo do tálus. Quatro pacientes necessitaram de procedimentos reconstrutivos secundários. Sessenta e dois porcento dos pacientes não apresentaram comprometimento radiográfico importante na articulação do tornozelo e 25 por cento na articulação subtalar. Dos pacientes não submetidos a procedimentos secundários, 81 por cento apresentaram queixas referentes ao pé tratado, 37,5 por cento apresentaram alguma deformidade, 44 por cento déficit sensitivo e 50 por cento estavam aposentados. A perda média de movimento do tornozelo foi de 49 por cento e da subtalar 80 por cento. A pontuação média pela escala AOFAS foi de 73 pontos. CONCLUSÃO: A fratura do colo do tálus leva a alta incidência de complicações clínico-funcionais e radiográficas.


OBJETIVE: To evaluate the clinical, functional and radiographic outcomes of talar neck fractures in patients treated at the Foot and Ankle Surgery Group of the Santa Casa de São Paulo. METHOD: 20 patients were evaluated. Mean follow-up time was 71 months. One fracture was classified as Hawkins Type I, 12 as Hawkins type II, five as Hawkins type III, two as Hawkins type IV, and four fractures were open. RESULTS: One patient was treated conservatively, 16 were treated with ORIF (three with primary subtalar arthrodesis), one treated with talectomy and two with tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. The reduction was anatomical in seven feet, acceptable in six feet and poor in four. Seven patients had early complications. There was one delay of consolidation and four talar body osteonecrosis. No signs or minimal signs of radiographic arthritis of the affected ankles were found in 62 percent of the patients and 25 percent of affected subtalar joints. Of the 16 patients who did not require secondary procedures, 81 percent complained about the treated foot, 37.5 percent showed some deformity, 44 percent had decreased skin sensitivity and 50 percent never returned to work. The mean loss of motion in the ankle was 49 percent, and in the subtalar joint, 80 percent. The average AOFAS score was 73 points. CONCLUSION: Talar neck fractures are associated with high rates of clinical, functional and radiographic complications.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: As fracturas do colo e corpo do astrágalo são lesões infrequentes. O objectivo deste estudo é avaliar a prevalência de sequelas a longo prazo. MÉTODOS: Foi feita uma análise retrospectiva que incluiu um total de 11 doentes sujeitos a tratamento cirúrgico por fracturas do corpo ou colo do astrágalo entre Janeiro de 1997 e Dezembro de 2005. A avaliação final foi clínica (utilizando a escala AOFAS) e radiológica. RESULTADOS: O seguimento médio foi 58,5 meses. A prevalência de lesões ósseas associadas foi de 60 por cento (6/10). O resultado AOFAS médio foi 72 [19-100] pontos. A necrose avascular e/ou artrose pós-traumática ocorreu em metade dos doentes. A qualidade da redução cirúrgica, as fracturas do corpo e a ausência de alterações degenerativas relacionaram-se com melhores resultados funcionais. As fracturas do colo, a osteonecrose e a presença de artrose pós-traumática conduziram a piores resultados. CONCLUSÃO: Há um grande potencial para sequelas tardias e compromisso funcional devido a artrose e dor crónica após esse tipo de fracturas. A redução anatómica cirúrgica é a melhor hipótese de as evitar, mas não é infalível. A taxa de necrose avascular relaciona-se com o grau de desvio inicial da fractura, mas a sua ocorrência em cada caso específico é imprevisível.


OBJECTIVES: Talar neck and body fractures are unusual fractures. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of long term results. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was carried out including 11 patients that underwent surgical treatment for body or neck talus fractures between January 1997 and December 2005. Final follow-up examination included a clinical evaluation (AOFAS score) and standard radiographs. RESULTS: The mean follow-up time was 58.5 months. The prevalence of associated fractures was 60 percent (6/10). Overall AOFAS score averaged 72 [19-100]. Avascular necrosis and posttraumatic arthritis were present in half of the patients. Quality of surgical reduction, body fractures and absence of degenerative changes were correlated with better functional results. Neck fractures, osteonecrosis and posttraumatic arthritis led to inferior results. CONCLUSION: There is a great potential for long term functional impairment due to posttraumatic arthritis and chronic pain in this kind of fracture. Anatomic surgical reduction is the best chance to avoid them but it is not infallible. The avascular necrosis rate correlates with initial fracture displacement, but its occurrence in each specific case is unpredictable.
