ABSTRACT

Approximately 2% to 15% of the patients with dislocated elbows are thought to present a fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna, but such a fracture does not often present in isolation. Its exact incidence is difficult to ascertain given the lack of studies on the subject. One case is presented of an isolated fracture of the coronoid process and it is placed in the context of the existing literature.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Determinar si en las fracturas supracondíleas de húmero en niños es posible cierto grado de remodelación rotacional y los factores que pueden influir en la misma. Material y método. Se revisaron un total de 62 niños intervenidos quirúrgicamente en nuestro hospital desde diciembre de 1988 hasta enero de 1999, por fractura supracondílea de húmero. De ellos, 52 fueron incluidos en el estudio. El tiempo medio de seguimiento fue de 9,1 años (rango 3-14años). Se estudió mediante análisis de regresión la evolución de la deformidad rotacional y su relación con diferentes parámetros: edad, sexo, tipo de fractura, tratamiento, tiempos de inmovilización y de rehabilitación, grado de movilidad, ángulo de transporte y complicaciones. Resultados. La deformidad rotacional disminuyó independientemente de la reducción obtenida, no existiendo relación significativa entre el componente rotacional en el postoperatorio inmediato y en el momento de la revisión, aunque existió cierta tendencia a tener menor rotación final cuanto mayor fue la reducción conseguida de este componente(p = 0,093). El sexo mostró relación significativa con la deformidad rotacional residual en el momento de la revisión en el análisis de regresión logística (p = 0,003).Conclusiones. La reducción obtenida es ciertamente importante en el tratamiento, pero existen probablemente otros factores todavía no bien conocidos que influyen en la remodelación de la fractura. Es posible esperar cierto grado de remodelación rotacional en este tipo de fracturas, según nuestro estudio. Las niñas presentaron una menor corrección espontánea del componente rotacional


Aim. To determine if a degree of rotational remodelling is possible in supracondylar fractures in children and influential factors. Materials and methods. A review was made of a total of 62children who underwent surgery at our hospital from December1988 to January 1999 for supracondylar fracture of the humerus. Of them, 52 were included in the study. The mean follow-up time was 9.1 years (range 3-14 years). Regression analysis was used to study the evolution of the rotational deformity and its relation with different parameters: age, sex, type of fracture, treatment, immobilization and rehabilitation times, degree of mobility, carrying angle, and complications. Results. The rotational deformity decreased independently of the reduction achieved, and there was no significant relation between the rotational component in the immediate postoperative period and at the time of review, although the final rotation tended to be smaller when reduction of this component was greater (p = 0.093). Sex was significantly related with residual rotational deformity at the time of review in logistic regression analysis (p = 0.003).Conclusions. The reduction achieved is important in treatment, but there are probably other, less known factors that influence fracture remodelling. Our study showed that a certain degree of rotational remodeling can be expected in supracondylar fractures. Girls had less spontaneous correction of the rotational component

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS. Valorar la relación entre la anestesia general y espinal con la enfermedad tromboembólica en el postoperatorio de cirugía ortopédica de pacientes tratados profilácticamente con heparinas de bajo peso molecular. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO. Se realizó un estudio de cohortes retrospectivo sobre 484 artroplastias, de las que 209 fueron prótesis totales de cadera, 111 prótesis parciales de cadera y 164 prótesis totales de rodilla. En 328 casos se realizó anestesia espinal (epidural o subaracnoidea) y en 156 anestesia general. Se consideró que existía enfermedad tromboembólica cuando el paciente presentaba sintomatología clínica compatible con la misma, confirmada mediante eco-Doppler y/o venografía para la trombosis venosa profunda, y mediante gammagrafía para el embolismo pulmonar. Se estudió la relación con la edad, peso, fracturas previas del miembro inferior, tromboembolismo previo, diabetes, hipertensión arterial, enfermedad cardíaca y medicación. RESULTADOS. Se observaron complicaciones tromboembólicas en 21 pacientes, en 12 de ellos tras cirugía con anestesia general y en nueve tras anestesia espinal, siendo significativamente menor la incidencia en esta última (p < 0,01) (odds ratio de 3,23 e IC del 95 por ciento). El análisis multivariante también demostró un aumento significativo de la enfermedad tromboembólica (p < 0,05) en los pacientes mayores de 70 años (odds ratio de 2,67 e IC del 95 por ciento).CONCLUSIONES. La anestesia espinal se comporta como un factor de protección frente a la enfermedad tromboembólica en la cirugía artroplástica. La edad avanzada es un factor de riesgo (AU)

ABSTRACT

Nineteen cases of osteoarthritis of the knee with valgus deformity in 17 patients were treated by femoral supracondylar varus osteotomy (17 cases) or by high tibial varus osteotomy (2 cases) over the last 15 years. Fixation was performed using a 95 degrees AO blade-plate in 13 of the femoral osteotomies and a straight plate in the other four. The mean follow-up time was 6.5 years. The valgus deformity was idiopathic in 14 cases, secondary to rheumatoid arthritis in 2 cases and to tibial valgus in one case. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was used to evaluate the clinical results: nearly 75% were excellent or good. The causes related to poor results are analyzed regarding indication and surgical technique. It appears that varus osteotomy is an effective procedure for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee with valgus deformity, above all in order to alleviate pain, although the operation requires precision, and correct selection of patients is of prime importance.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta una revisión de 17 casos de epifisiolisis de cadera en 14 pacientes (tres de ellos con afectación bilateral). Se analizan los resultados obtenidos: a) en la fijación con agujas de Kirschner y con tornillos y b) en tres casos que fueron tratados con osteotomías arciformes tridimensionales. Se emplearon las escalas de valoración clínica de Heyman y Herndon y la radiológica de Boyer. Se analiza también la fijación de la cadera contralateral de manera profiláctica. Por otro lado se revisa la bibliografía referente a la presentación con carácter familiar, a raíz de tres casos acontecidos en nuestra casuística (AU)

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The aim of this work was to determine whether erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) levels are correlated significantly with early postoperative infectious complications after hip prosthetic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective study was conducted on 100 total hip replacements performed between 1994 and 1995. ESR, CRP and A1AT were obtained before surgery then at 1, 2 and 6 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: Seven bacteriologically proven cases of infection were reported. Infection was considered to be superficial if it did not extend deeper than the muscles fascia. There was a strong statistical correlation between A1AT level and infection for all postoperative times (p<0.0001). A1AT was highly sensitive (87.5 p. 100) and specific (85.8 p. 100) for infection compared with ESR (sensibility 70 p. 100 and specificity 65.9 p. 100) and CRP (sensitivity 63.6 p. 100 and specificity 80.1 p. 100). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In our hands, A1AT can be a most useful diagnostic tool for infection after prosthesis hip surgery. Although not totally specific, it is highly sensitive for infection compared with other tools such as ESR and CRP more frequently used. These findings suggest an avenue of research on the role of A1AT in infectious complications after prosthetic joint surgery.
