Stress fracture in acetabular roof due to motocross: case report.

One of the first steps to be taken in order to reduce sports injuries such as stress fractures is to have in-depth knowledge of the nature and extent of these pathological conditions. We present a case report of a stress fracture of the acetabular roof caused through motocross. This type of case is considered rare in the literature. The description of the clinical case is as follows. The patient was a 27-year-old male who started to have medical follow-up because of uncharacteristic pain in his left hip, which was concentrated mainly in the inguinal region of the left hip during motocross practice. After clinical investigation and complementary tests, he was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the acetabular roof.

Um dos primeiros passos para se reduzirem lesões, como a fratura de estresse no esporte, é conhecermos e nos aprofundarmos no estudo da natureza e extensão dessa patologia. A seguir apresentamos um relato de caso de fratura de estresse no teto acetabular por motocross. Caso considerado raro na literatura consultada. Descrição do quadro clínico: paciente de 27 anos; masculino, iniciou seguimento médico por dores incaracterísticas no quadril esquerdo, concentradas principalmente na região inguinal do quadril esquerdo durante a prática de motocross.

Pelvic pseudotumor following total hip arthroplasty - case report.

Loosening is a well-known complication of total hip arthroplasty. The accumulation of detritus resulting from mechanical wear forms inflammatory cells that have the function of phagocytizing this debris. Over the long term, these cells may give rise to a local granulomatous reaction. Here, we present a report on a case of pelvic pseudotumor subsequent to total hip arthroplasty, which is considered rare in the literature. The patient was a 48-year-old black man who started to be followed up medically eight months earlier because of uncharacteristic abdominal pains, dysuria and pollakiuria. He had undergone left total hip arthroplasty 17 years previously. Through clinical investigation and complementary examinations, an extra-articular granulomatous mass was diagnosed, constituting a pelvic pseudotumor.

A soltura é uma complicação bem conhecida nas artroplastias totais do quadril. O acúmulo de detritos resultante do desgaste mecânico forma células inflamatórias que têm a função de fagocitar esses detritos e podem, em longo prazo, gerar uma reação granulomatosa local. A seguir, apresentamos um relato de caso de pseudotumor de pélvis pós-artroplastia total do quadril, considerado raro na literatura consultada. Trata-se de paciente de 48 anos, masculino, negro, que iniciou seguimento médico por dores abdominais incaracterísticas, disúria e polaciúria havia oito meses. Apresentava artroplastia total do quadril esquerdo havia 17 anos. Após investigação clínica e por meio de exames complementares, diagnosticou-se uma massa granulomatosa extra-articular, pseudotumor de pélvis.

Segmental Stress Fracture of Tibia in Recreational Running: A Case Report.

One of the first steps to be taken in order to reduce lesions in sports, such as stress fractures, is to know the nature and extension of this pathology. What follows is a case report of segmental stress fracture of the tibia in recreational athletes, which is considered somewhat rare in the literature. Case report: a 40-year-old female patient who started to have follow-up medical checks due to unusual pain in her right leg, concentrated mainly on the proximal region of the knee and ankle, after a 10-km run for a period of one month. Segmental stress fracture of the tibia was diagnosed after clinical research and further examinations.

Os primeiros passos para se reduzirem lesões, como a fratura de estresse no esporte, é conhecer e aprofundar o estudo da natureza e a extensão dessa patologia. A seguir, apresentamos um relato de caso de fratura por estresse segmentar da tíbia, considerado raro na literatura consultada. Descrição do quadro clínico: trata-se de paciente de 40 anos, feminino, que iniciou seguimento médico por dores incaracterísticas na perna direita, concentradas principalmente em região proximal do joelho e do tornozelo direitos, durante a prática de corrida de rua de 10 km havia um mês. Após investigação clínica e por meio de exames complementares, diagnosticou-se fratura de estresse segmentar da tíbia.

SUPRACONDYLAR FRACTURE OF THE HUMERUS IN CHILDREN: FIXATION WITH TWO CROSSED KIRSCHNER WIRES.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze and present the surgical results from unstable supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children, treated by means of reduction and percutaneous fixation using two crossed Kirschner wires. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 20 children, taking into consideration sex, age at the time of the fracture, age at the time of the assessment, side affected, type and mechanism of trauma, postoperative complications and radiographic and clinic variables. RESULTS: Ten fractures were observed in the left arm and ten in the right arm. The age at the time of the fracture ranged from 2 to 13 years (mean: 5.9 ± 2.48 years). Three fractures were classified as type II and 17 as type III. The length of follow-up ranged from four months to three years. Baumann's angle ranged from 69 to 100 (mean: 78.3) and cubitus varus was observed in four patients (values ranging from 84 to 100). According to the modified Flynn's criteria, 20 cases presented satisfactory outcomes: 17 excellent (85%), two good (10%) and one regular (5%). Two patients presented limited range of motion, two had paresthesia in the cubital region and one had transient neuropraxia of the ulnar nerve for six weeks. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous fixation with two crossed Kirschner wires leads to good results when carried out under direct viewing and with isolation of the ulnar nerve.
