ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Estudio retrospectivo de 98 fracturas diafisarias de antebrazo en adultos tratadas mediante osteosíntesis percutánea intramedular con agujas de Kirchner. Materiales y método. Se revisan 64 pacientes que presentaban 98 fracturas de antebrazo con un seguimiento clínico-radiológico, evaluando la presencia de seudoartrosis o retardo de la consolidación y valorando los resultados funcionales mediante la Escala de Anderson y el Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand. Resultados. La consolidación clínica y radiológica se consiguió con una media de 12 semanas, obteniendo un 77% de excelentes y buenos resultados con los criterios de Anderson. Se registraron 4 casos de seudoartrosis y 6 casos de retardo de consolidación. Conclusión. La osteosíntesis percutánea presenta una serie de ventajas con respecto a otras técnicas como son una baja incidencia de complicaciones, ausencia de infecciones, refracturas y lesiones yatrogénicas vasculonerviosas. Se consigue una menor estancia hospitalaria y un acortamiento del tiempo quirúrgico, con unos resultados similares al tratamiento con placas y clavos endomedulares en cuanto a consolidación y resultados funcionales, como comprobamos al consultar la bibliografía publicada (AU)


Objective. This is a retrospective study of 98 diaphyseal forearm fractures in adults, treated by a percutaneous technique with intramedullar Kirchner wires. Materials and method. We reviewed 64 patients with 98 forearm fractures with a radiographic follow-up, assessing the presence of pseudarthrosis or delayed bone union and evaluating functional outcomes with the Anderson and the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scale. Results. Clinical and radiological bone union was achieved in an average of 12 weeks. We obtained 77% of excellent and good results following Anderson's scale. There were 4 cases of pseudarthrosis and 6 cases of delayed bone union. Conclusion. This surgical technique provides several advantages, such as a low incidence of complications and a total absence of infections, refractures and iatrogenic neurovascular injuries. It allows a lower hospital stay and a shortening of the surgery time compared with other techniques such as plates and intramedullary nails, that have similar results, in terms of bone union and functional outcomes, as we have verified from the published literature (AU)

ABSTRACT

El Síndrome Doloroso Rotuliano (SDR) constituye la causa más común de dolor anterior de rodilla. Su diagnóstico es fundamentalmente clínico y se basa en la presencia de dolor retrorrotuliano o perirrotuliano en ausencia de signos propios de otra patología. El ejercicio físico influye positivamente en su prevención y tratamiento. Los AINES, los corticoides y la glucosamina representan una alternativa en la fase aguda, pero no se disponen de datos científicos que avalen su eficacia a largo plazo. De igual manera, no se han realizado trabajos que permitan recomendar las terapias taping, las ortesis plantares y las rodilleras como tratamiento habitual en el SDR. Recientemente se ha promulgado la aplicación de toxina botulínica en el vasto lateral con resultados satisfactorios. El tratamiento quirúrgico podría plantearse tras haber realizado de 6 a 12 meses de tratamiento conservador con resultados fallidos y siempre que exista un hallazgo susceptible de ser corregido


Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), also known as anterior knee pain and patellofemoral joint syndrome, is the most common major cause of anterior knee pain. Diagnosis is mainly clinical and based on the presence of retropatellar or peripatellar pain without signs of any other pathology. Physical exercise has a positive influence on its prevention and treatment. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticoids and glucosamine are alternatives for use in acute phases; however there is insufficient scientific data to endorse their long-term efficacy. Similarly, no studies have been performed that allow taping therapies, foot and knee orthoses, to be recommended as a standard PFPS treatment. Recent reports have shown that satisfactory results have been obtained by applying botulinum toxin into the vastus lateralis. Surgical treatment could be considered, as long as that there are indications it could provide benefit, if conservative therapy proves unsuccessful after 6 to 12 months

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Se presenta una serie de casos de pacientes que han desarrollado bultoma, secreción y dolor pretibial tras la reconstrucción del LCA fijado con tornillos reabsorbibles (HA-PLLA [Hidroxiapatita- ácido L-poliláctico]). Método: Se revisan de manera retrospectiva todas las reconstrucciones de LCA realizadas entre 2008 y 2014 para identificar las complicaciones relacionadas con el sistema de fijación bioabsorbible. Durante ese periodo de 6 años se realizaron 620 reconstrucciones de LCA usando el tornillo bioabsorbible (HA-PLLA) para la fijación tibial del injerto tetrafascicular de isquiotibiales. Resultados: Nueve pacientes (1,45%) con un rango de edad de 29,8 (19-44 años), presentaron el periodo postoperatorio dolor, tumoración y secreción pretibial en la zona de inserción del tornillo. Todos presentaron marcadores inflamatorios normales. Todos los pacientes requirieron desbridamiento quirúrgico, y retirada de los restos del tornillo y de los tejidos reactivos. Se evidenció infección en 4 cultivos intraoperatorios. La anatomía patológica reveló restos detríticos birrefringentes en el citoplasma de los macrófagos. La retirada de los restos del tornillo y el desbridamiento y curetaje del túnel, supuso la recuperación completa de todos los pacientes de nuestra serie. Conclusiones: La tumoración pre-tibial como respuesta biológica adversa, debe considerarse como una posible complicación en la reconstrucción del LCA. Se aprecia una incidencia de 1,45% de reacción pretibial tras el uso de tornillos reabsorbibles (HA-PLLA) en tibia proximal en la reconstrucción de LCA


Background: We report a series of cases that presented as pre-tibial cyst, swelling and pain following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using bioabsorble fixation devices (HA-PLLA). Methods: All ACL reconstructions were done between 2008 and 2014 reviewed retrospectively to identify complications related to bioabsorbable fixation devices. During this period of 6 years, 620 ACL reconstructions were performed using the bioabsorbable screw (HA-PLLA) for tibial fixation of the quadrupled hamstring autograft. Results: Nine patients (1,45%) with mean age of 29,8 (19-44) years, presented in the post-operative period, pre-tibial pain, cyst and swelling in tibial screw site. All of them had normal inflammatory markers. All of these patients underwent surgical debridement, which revealed remnants of screw and reactive material. There was evidence of infection in 4 intra-operative specimen cultures. Histopathology revealed detritic birefringent remains in macrophages cytoplasm. Removal of screw debris and curettage of the tunnel resulted in complete recovery of all patients in our series. Conclusions: Pre-tibial cyst as an adverse biological response should be considered as a possible complication in ACL reconstruction. We report a 1,45% of pre-tibial reaction in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with bio-absorbable (HAPLLA) interference screw fixation for the proximal tibia

ABSTRACT

La artroplastia total de rodilla (ATR) es una operación que ha mejorado radicalmente la calidad de vida de millones de personas en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, algunos detalles técnicos, relativos al procedimiento quirúrgico, son todavía un tema de fuerte debate. En esta revisión de la literatura se ha incluido la mejor evidencia al respecto de la última década, sobre algunos de los temas más controvertidos de este procedimiento como el uso de torniquete, gestos quirúrgicos sobre la rótula, bandeja tibial toda de polietileno (all-poly) o con respaldo metálico, la fijación cementada o sin cementar, el uso de platillos móviles, ó la conservación / sustitución del ligamento cruzado posterior


Total knee replacement (TKR) is an operation that has radically improved the quality of life of millions of people during the last decades. However, some technical details, concerning the surgical procedure, are still a matter of a strong debate. In this review of the literature, we have included the best evidence available of the last decade, related to TKR surgery like the use of tourniquet during operation, patellar resufacing, all-polyethilene tibial component, cemented or cementless fixation, mobile bearings, or posterior-stabilized versus cruciateretaining prosthesis
