ABSTRACT

CASE: A 9-month-old infant girl with Down syndrome presented with an atrophic nonunion of the right humerus diaphysis secondary to birth trauma. Surgical intervention included open reduction and external fixation plus cadaveric cancellous bone allograft and platelet-rich plasma and then was changed to an external fixator in axial compression. At 16 months after surgery, bone healing was achieved. CONCLUSION: Nonunions in infants are rare, and their treatment is a challenge; an adequate vascular supply with good stabilization and reduction are keys to management. We believe that the improvement in reduction and stability under axial compression were the keys to achieve consolidation.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El tumor de células gigantes (TCG) es una neoplasia benigna pero localmente invasiva; la presentación en el extremo distal del cúbito es muy rara. En las lesiones de grado 3 de Campanacci del TCG del cúbito distal se recomienda la resección en bloque del tumor, con o sin la reconstrucción o estabilización del muñón cubital. Reporte del caso: Mujer de 29 años presentó un tumor de células gigantes en el cubito distal grado 3 de Campanacci; fue tratada con resección en bloque del tumor, incluyendo el extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) debido a estar bien adherido al tumor; el defecto de tendón fue remplazado con autoinjerto de palmaris longus (PL), para luego estabilizar el muñón cubital con el tendón reconstruido. El seguimiento después de 2 años 5 meses no mostró evidencia de recurrencia del tumor, con un excelente resultado funcional y muñón cubital estable. Discusión: Actualmente no hay evidencia suficiente para apoyar el uso de una técnica de estabilización o no, sin embargo, se espera que sea de interés el tratamiento realizado y evitar posibles problemas de estabilidad del muñón cubital ante resecciones amplias que comprometan el ECU. Nivel de evidencia: IV


Introduction: Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a benign but locally invasive neoplasm; presentation at the distal end of the ulna is very rare. In Campanacci grade 3 GCT lesions of the distal ulna, en bloc resection of the tumor is recommended, with or without reconstruction or stabilization of the ulnar stump. Case report: A 29-year-old woman presented with a Campanacci grade 3 giant cell tumor in the distal ulna; was treated with en bloc resection of the tumor, including the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) due to being well adhered to the tumor; The tendon defect was replaced with palmaris longus (PL) autograft, and then the ulnar stump was stabilized with the reconstructed tendon. Follow-up after 2 years 5 months showed no evidence of tumor recurrence, with an excellent functional outcome and stable ulnar stump. Discussion: Currently there is not enough evidence to support the use of a stabilization technique or not, however, it is expected that the treatment performed will be of interest and avoid possible stability problems of the ulnar stump in the event of wide resections that compromise the ECU. Level of evidence: IV

ABSTRACT

Las heridas crónicas de origen traumático, con exposición de tejidos, requieren de un desbridamiento adecuado, lavado y una pronta cubierta para evitar la infección y la desecación. A veces, incluso deben ser ampliadas para realizar un adecuado desbridamiento quirúrgico; por lo que, al intentar una cobertura completa, el resultado es una herida a tensión, que se complica con inflamación, infección y la dehiscencia que se acentúa aún más si está en una zona de flexión, como la rodilla. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 28 años, que acudió a emergencias con un antecedente de herida traumática en la rodilla derecha, signos de retraso de la cicatrización, tejido de granulación friable, exposición de la rótula, abundante secreción serosa y dolor al movimiento con rango limitado. Se la trató en un solo tiempo quirúrgico con desbridamiento, irrigación y cobertura completa de la herida mediante la técnica de "pie-crusting". Nivel de Evidencia: IV


Chronic wounds of traumatic origin, with tissue exposure, require adequate debridement, lavage and prompt coverage to prevent infection and desiccation. Wounds may even require to be enlarged in order to perform an adequate surgical debridement. Enlarged wound attempts to perform a complete coverage may result in tension wound closures, which are complicated by inflammation, infection, and dehiscence and aggravated when located on flexure areas, such as on the knee. We report the case of a 28-year female patient, who presented to the Emergency Department with a history of traumatic wound in the right knee and signs of delayed healing, friable granulation tissue, exposed patella, increased serous drainage, and painful limited range of motion. She underwent a single surgical time procedure with debridement, irrigation, and complete coverage of the wound with the help of the pie-crusting technique. Level of Evidence: IV
