ABSTRACT

Buruli ulcer (BU) is a chronic and destructive infection of the skin and soft tissues caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. Recently, population flows have triggered the appearance of several sporadic cases of BU in non-endemic countries. This represents a significant diagnostic challenge for clinicians and microbiologists. We describe the first case of BU imported to Spain. The patient was a Spanish woman who had stayed 5 months in the jungle of Peru.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes y Objetivos. La articulación trapecio-metacarpiana (TMC) presenta una especial anatomía que se altera en la rizartrosis. De entre todas las técnicas quirúrgicas que existen para tratar esta patología, proponemos una artroplastia de interposición suspensión con tejidos criopreservados que creemos que reproduce bastante fielmente el movimiento de la articulación. Material y Método. Presentamos un estudio prospectivo en 103 pacientes con rizartrosis tratados entre los años 1995 y 2008 a los que se realizó la técnica que presentamos. Valoramos el dolor, la capacidad para hacer su trabajo o las actividades de la vida diaria para evaluar la técnica y la permanencia de ésta en el tiempo. Resultados. Objetivamos en los pacientes del grupo de estudio una mejoría del dolor y de la capacidad para hacer su trabajo y sus actividades diarias tras la realización de la artroplastia, mantenidas en el tiempo, incluso en los pacientes con seguimiento superior a 9 años. Las complicaciones aparecidas fueron resueltas en todos los casos sin secuelas. Comparamos la movilidad de la articulación con la que presentan dos anillos entrelazados, lo que permite los grados de libertad de la articulación TMC. Conclusiones. La técnica elegida refleja el movimiento de una sección de espiral que permite a la articulación recuperar todos los movimientos. Además, esta técnica se puede utilizar en cualquier estadio de la enfermedad y mantiene sus resultados en el tiempo (AU)


Background and Objectives. The trapezium-metacarpal (TMC) joint has a special anatomy that is modified when the osteoarthritis come in. Of all the techniques, we propose an interposition-suspension arthroplasty with criopreserved allografts that we think that reproduces truly the joint movement. Methods. We submit a prospective study with 103 patients that suffered osteoarthritis of de TMC joint and were treated with this technique of arthroplasty. Pain, ability for work or daily live activities were valued to evaluate this technique and its remaining in time. Results. An improvement in pain and in their daily activities was obtained following arthroplasty, and these results were kept on time even in patients with as a long follow up as 9 years. Complications were solved in all cases without sequelae. Joint movement is similar to the movement of two rings interlocked, which allows the same grades of movement than the TMC joint. Conclusions. The submitted technique evidence the movement of a coil section allows recover all the movement to the joint. This technique could be used in any stage of the disease and retain its results along the time (AU)
