RESUMEN
Las denominadas fracturas por fatiga o por estrés ocurren en un hueso normal sometido a reiterados episodios de esfuerzo, aunque de menor requerimiento para causar una fractura aguda. Se presenta a una paciente de 63 años de edad, obesa, con antecedentes de salud anterior que comienza a presentar dolor en ambas regiones de la articulación de la cadera, limitando los movimientos e imposibilitando la marcha. Se le realizaron estudios de imagen donde se le diagnosticó una fractura bilateral del cuello femoral, la izquierda de mejor identificación que la derecha. El tratamiento consistió en osteosíntesis de la fractura izquierda con clavo deslizante, y tratamiento conservador mediante reposo de la cadera derecha. La evolución fue satisfactoria, a los 3 meses habían desaparecido los síntomas y a los 6 meses la paciente deambulaba sin dificultad. La asistencia temprana a esta afección es importante para decidir la terapéutica a emplear y de esta manera evitar las complicaciones(AU)
ABSTRACT
The so called fatigue or stress fractures occur in a normal bone subjected to repeated episodes of stress, albeit of lesser requirement to cause an acute fracture. We present a 63-year-old obese patient with a history of previous health that begins to present pain in both regions of the hip joint, limiting movements and making gait impossible. Imaging studies were performed in which a bilateral fracture of the femoral neck was diagnosed, the left being better identified than the right one. The treatment consisted of osteosynthesis of the left fracture with a sliding nail, and conservative treatment by resting the right hip. The evolution was satisfactory, at 3 months the symptoms had disappeared and at 6 months the patient walked without difficulty. Early care for this condition is important in deciding which therapy to use and thus avoid complications(AU)
