Modified salter pelvic osteotomy for the ddh treatment / Osteotomia pélvica de salter modificada para tratamento de ddh

ABSTRACT Objectives: Three pelvic osteotomies (Salter, Dega, Pemberton) are widely used in walking patients under seven years old for DDH treatment. We've proposed a modified Salter Pelvic Osteotomy (SPO), which has the advantages of the abovementioned osteotomies. Methods: Short- and mid-term results were assessed in 19 patients after the modified SPO application. Patients were examined before and after the surgery, at 6 months postoperatively, and at follow-up. Results: Acetabular Index (AI) before the surgery was 39.5 ± 7 °; after the surgery - 24.4 ± 5.5 °, at 6 months - 20.4 ± 5 ° (9-28), at follow-up - 14.5 ± 4 °; AI correction - 14.9 ± 5.5 °. Lateral Centre-Edge Angle at follow-up - 22.7 ± 4.7 °. Clinical results at follow-up were I / II McKay grade in 18 patients (94.7%); radiological results were I / II Severin class in 18 patients (94.7%). Conclusion: Modified SPO improves the FH coverage in any direction; results after modified SPO are excellent and good in most patients. Level of Evidence IV; Case Series.

RESUMO Objetivos: Três osteotomias pélvicas (Salter, Dega, Pemberton) são am-plamente utilizadas em pacientes ambulatoriais com menos de sete anos de idade para tratamento com DDH. Foi proposta a Osteotomia Pélvica de Salter modificada (SPO), que apresenta as vantagens das osteotomias acima mencionadas. Métodos: Os resultados de curto e médio prazo foram avaliados em 19 pacientes após a aplicação da SPO modificada. Os pacientes foram examinados antes e após a cirurgia, aos 6 meses de pós-operatório, e no acompanhamento. Resultados: O Índice Acetabular (IA) antes da cirurgia foi de 39,5 ± 7°; após a cirurgia - 24,4± 5,5°, aos 6 meses - 20,4 ± 5° (9-28), no acompanhamento - 14,5 ± 4°; correção da IA - 14,9 ± 5,5°. Ângulo Lateral do Centro-Edge Angle no acompanhamento - 22,7 ± 4,7 °. Os resultados clínicos no acompanhamento foram I / II grau McKay em 18 pacientes (94,7%); os resultados radiológicos foram I / II classe Severin em 18 pacientes (94,7%). Conclusão: A SPO modificada melhora a cobertura de FH em todos os sentidos; os resultados após a SPO modificada são excelentes e bons na maioria dos pacientes. Nível de Evidência IV; Série de casos.

Uterus-Like Mass with Features of an Extrauterine Adenomyoma: A Case Report and Literature Review

Uterus-like masses, such as cavities lined by endometrium-type mucosa surrounded by bundles of smooth muscle cells, may strikingly resemble the uterus. In this report, we describe a case of a uterus-like mass with features of an extrauterine adenomyoma in a 42-year-old woman. The first uterine-like mass was documented by Cozzutto in 1981 and to date, 13 such cases have been reported. Three theories have been offered to explain their etiology: 1) the uterine/Mullerian duct fusion defect theory, which is based on a developmental abnormality occurring during the formation of the female genital tract, 2) the metaplastic theory, which is based on the fact that a uterus-like mass may arise from subperitoneal mesenchymal cells that retain the ability to duplicate Mullerian duct structures, and 3) the heterotopia theory. We consider that the metaplastic theory best fits with our observations in the present case as both glandular and stromal smooth muscle cells proliferated as a true neoplasm rather than as an anomaly.
