RESUMEN
Objetivo. Analizar el rendimiento biomecánico de las placas de tibia proximal utilizadas en fracturas de platillos tibiales evaluado a través de modelos de elementos finitos. Métodos. Se realizará una búsqueda exhaustiva en PubMed/Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Web of Science y Google Scholar. No se utilizará ninguna restricción de idioma o estado de publicación. Dos revisores examinarán de forma independiente los posibles artículos elegibles, de acuerdo con los criterios de selección predefinidos. Se incluirán los estudios que evalúen el rendimiento de los platillos tibiales proximales utilizados en las fracturas del platillo tibial evaluadas mediante el análisis de elementos finitos. La extracción de datos sobre las características del estudio, los métodos, los resultados y la evaluación del riesgo de sesgo se realizará mediante un formulario estandarizado. Considerando el diseño de estudio no se requiere evaluación por comité de ética. Los resultados de esta revisión se difundirán a través de la publicación en revistas revisadas por pares, redes sociales y congresos de la especialidad. Se espera que los resultados de esta revisión permitan optimizar los resultados del manejo quirúrgico de las fracturas de platillos tibiales. Número de registro PROSPERO: CRD42023396015.
Objetive. To analyze the biomechanical performance of proximal tibial plates used in tibial plate fractures evaluated through finite element modeling. Methods. A comprehensive search will be conducted in PubMed/Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. No language or publication status restrictions will be used. Two reviewers will independently review potential eligible articles according to predefined selection criteria. Studies evaluating the performance of proximal tibial splints used in tibial splint fractures assessed by finite element analysis will be included. Data extraction on study characteristics, methods, results, and risk of bias assessment will be performed using a standardized form. Considering the study design, evaluation by an ethics committee is not required. The results of this review will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals, social networks and specialty congresses. It is expected that the results of this review will allow optimizing the results of the surgical management of tibial plate fractures. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023396015.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Despite recent initiatives and efforts, gender inequality still exists in medicine and academia. There is a higher proportion of male authors in international scientific publications. AIM: To compare the proportion of female and male authors in the scientific publications of the main medical journals in Chile. Material and Methods: We reviewed 1,643 Scientific articles published between 2015 and 2020 in two medical journals from Chile. Three authors analyzed the title, abstract, and authors of all published articles, recording the sex of the first author, co-authors, and corresponding author. RESULTS: The reviewed articles had a mean of 5.3 authors and there was a significant difference between men and women (a mean of 2.8 men and 2.4 women; p < 0.001). Forty-six percent (n = 761) of the articles had a female first author. In a higher proportion of papers, men completed both positions (1st and corresponding author) simultaneously. CONCLUSIONS: There are fewer female authors in scientific publications. Chile is one of the countries with a high rate of gender gap in the world. The underrepresentation of women in academia is an example of this.

En los últimos años, ha habido un aumento en la aplicación de cuestionarios diseñados para la medición de resultados (o desenlaces) clínicos en la práctica médica. Para aplicar un cuestionario en una población distinta a la cual fue originalmente creado y diseñado, es necesario llevar a cabo un proceso riguroso de adaptación, con una determinada metodología. El objetivo de esta guía metodológica es describir el proceso de traducción, adaptación transcultural y validación de medidas de resultados informados por los pacientes (MRIPs) en Ortopedia y Traumatología.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of questionnaires designed to measure outcomes in the medical practice. To use a questionnaire in a population different from the one for which it was originally created and designed, it is necessary to carry out a rigorous adaptation process, with a certain methodology. The objective of the present methodological guide is to describe the process of translation, crosscultural adaptation, and validation of patient-reported outcome measures in Orthopedics and Traumatology
