ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: A frequent complication after total hip arthroplasty is bleeding; to reduce it, intravenous or intra-articular tranexamic acid (TXA) is used. There is no evidence yet on which route of administration is better. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This was a prospective, controlled, randomized study in 2 arms between February 2017 and February 2019. In group A, 15 mg/kg intravenous TXA was administered and in group B 2 g intra-articular TXA. Haemoglobin and haematocrit values were evaluated at 24-72 h, also volume of drained blood, volume of blood lost, transfusions and complications. RESULTS: A total of 195 patients were included: 110 in group A and 85 group B. Haemoglobin dropped 3.10 ± 1.32 g/dl in 24 h and 3.63 ± 1.41 g/dl at 72 h in group A; the haematocrit dropped 8.38 ± 4.67% in 24 h and 15.40 ± 4.39% in 72 h. In group B, haemoglobin dropped 3.09 ± 1.40 g/dl in 24 h and 3.34 ± 1.23 g/dl in 72 h and haematocrit 9.75 ± 3.95% and 10.40 ± 3.72% in 24 and 72 h. No significant differences were found for haemoglobin values at 24 and 72 h and haematocrit at 24 h (p > 0.05); we did not obtain statistically significant differences in drainage, blood loss between groups or in the proportion of transfused. When stratifying the results by age, we obtained significant differences in the decrease in haemoglobin (p = 0.021) and haematocrit (p = 0.025) in patients > 65 years. CONCLUSIONS: The different routes of administration of TXA in PTC have a similar effect in reducing post-operative bleeding without evidencing an increase in complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: I.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La restauración de las fuerzas biomecánicas a través del ajuste del offset y la longitud de miembros se ha convertido en un objetivo importante cuando el cirujano busca un buen resultado funcional postoperatorio. Sin embargo, las ventajas clínicas de la restauración del offset femoral y las complicaciones del fallo en la restauración no han sido claramente establecidas. Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto del offset o voladizo femoral en los resultados clínicos y funcionales de los pacientes. Adquisición de la evidencia: Se realizó una exploración en la base de datos Pubmed, con las palabras clave: artroplastia de cadera, prótesis de cadera, resultado clínico y resultado funcional.Se buscaron artículos publicados entre 2008 y 2018, basados en humanos y escritos en inglés, español o francés. Se seleccionaron seis artículos que incluían la presencia de una medición radiológica del offset femoral claramente explicada, escalas validadas y análisis comparativo. Resultados: La literatura consultada reflejó resultados heterogéneos. En el grupo de pacientes con offset disminuido, un artículo mostró menos función. En otro estudio se observó mejor puntuación en el grupo de enfermos con offset aumentado. A su vez, en una investigación se comprobó menos dolor en el grupo de offset disminuido. Conclusiones: Debido a la inconsistencia en los resultados y en las metodologías empleadas, no ha sido posible reconocer el beneficio clínico y funcional de la restauración del offset. Algunos autores incluidos en esta revisión, después de no encontrar diferencias estadísticamente significativas, afirmaron que la restauración o el aumento del offset femoral aportó buenos resultados, sin efectos negativos(AU)


Introduction: The restoration of biomechanical forces through offset adjustment and limb length has become an important objective when the surgeon seeks a good postoperative functional result. However, the clinical advantages of femoral offset restoration and complications of restoration failure have not been clearly established. Objective: To evaluate the effect of offset or femoral cantilever on the clinical and functional results of the patients. Acquisition of evidence: An exploration was carried out in the Pubmed database, with the keywords: hip arthroplasty, hip prosthesis, clinical result and functional result. We searched for articles published from 2008 to 2018, based on humans and written in English, Spanish or French. Six articles were selected because they clearly explained the presence of a radiological measurement of the femoral offset, including validated scales and comparative analysis. Results: The literature consulted reflected heterogeneous results. In the group of patients with decreased offset, one article showed less function. In another study, a better score was observed in the group of patients with increased offset. In turn, one investigation reported less pain was found in the reduced offset group. Conclusions: Due to the inconsistency in the results and the methodologies used, it has not been possible to recognize the clinical and functional benefit of offset restoration. Some authors included in this review, after not finding statistically significant differences, stated that the restoration or increase of the femoral offset provided good results, without negative effects(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las lesiones en dorso de mano son urgencias frecuentes de un hospital. Estudiar la relación existente entre la clínica inicial y la afectación tendinosa subyacente en heridas localizadas en esta región. Así como valorar la localización exacta, tipo, y etiología de ellas, por medio de un estudio observacional. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio transversal, en el que se valoran 51 pacientes con 55 heridas en dorso de mano y antebrazo, tratadas en urgencias de nuestro hospital durante el periodo de junio a diciembre de 2009. RESULTADOS: La exploración inicial nos ofrece una especificidad y un valor predictivo positivo del 100 por ciento, pero una sensibilidad del 17,14 por ciento y un valor predictivo negativo del 40,81 por ciento con respecto a la presencia de lesión tendinosa. CONCLUSIÓN: Ante la falta de correlación entre la clínica inicial con una posible lesión tendinosa extensora recomendamos la exploración quirúrgica de las heridas en dorso de mano, por su sencillez y aprovechamiento del acto quirúrgico(AU)


INTRODUCTION: Injuries in hand dorsum are frequent hospital emergences. It is necessary to study the relation between initial clinics and the tendinous injuries underlying in wounds present in this region, as well to assess its exact location, the type and etiology through observational study. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess 15 patients presenting with wounds in the hand dorsum and forearm, treated in emergency room of our hospital from June to December, 2009. RESULTS: The initial screening offer us a specificity and a positive predictive value of the 100 percent, but a sensitivity of 17,4 percent and a negative predictive value of 40,81 percent regarding the presence of the tendinous injury. CONCLUSION: Due to a lack of correlation between the initial clinics and a possible extensor tendinous injury, it is recommended the surgical exploration of hand dorsum injuries due to its simplicity and use of surgical act(AU)


INTRODUCTION: Les lésions du dos de la main sont des urgences fréquentes d'un hôpital. Le but de cette étude est d'étudier la relation existant entre la clinique initiale et l'affection tendineuse sous-jacente des blessures localisées à cette région, et d'évaluer la localisation exacte, le type et l'étiologie par une étude observationnelle. MÉTHODES: Une étude transversale, portant sur 51 patients atteints de blessures (55) au dos de la main et l'avant-bras, et traités au service des urgences de notre hôpital entre juin et décembre 2009, a été réalisée. RÉSULTATS: L'exploration initiale nous montre une spécificité et une valeur pronostique positive de 100 percent, mais une sensibilité de 17,14 percent et une valeur pronostique négative du 40,81 percent par rapport à la présence des lésions tendineuses. CONCLUSIONS: Devant l'absence de corrélation entre la clinique initiale et une possible lésion du tendon extenseur, il est conseillé de faire une exploration chirurgicale des blessures du dos de la main, car elle est simple et très utile(AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire is a specific outcome instrument developed to measure upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The aim of this work is to develop a Spanish version of the DASH questionnaire and to analyze its reliability, validity and responsiveness. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We performed cross-cultural adaptation of the DASH to Spanish, using a process that included double forward and backward translations, expert review and field-testing. The Spanish version's reliability, content, construct and criterion validity and responsiveness were then evaluated in 98 patients with upper-extremity conditions that completed the DASH and SF-36 generic health questionnaire before and after medical rehabilitation treatment. RESULTS: We obtained a Spanish DASH version (DASHe) linguistically and conceptually equivalent to the original version. Internal consistency of the DASHe was high (Cronbach alpha = 0.96), test-retest reliability was excellent (r = 0.96) and the floor and ceiling effects were negligible. Construct and criteria validity was shown by a positive association of DASHe scores with worse condition, and a significant correlation with the SF-36 scores, stronger with the SF-36 pain dimension. Responsiveness was excellent (effect size and standardized response means higher than 0.80). CONCLUSIONS: The DASHe is a reliable, valid and responsive instrument that can provide a standardized measure in Spanish patients with upper-extremity musculoskeletal conditions.

ABSTRACT

Fundamento y objetivo: El cuestionario Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) es un instrumento específico de medición de la calidad de vida relacionada con los problemas del miembro superior. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido desarrollar una versión española del DASH y analizar su fiabilidad, validez y sensibilidad a los cambios. Material y método: Se ha realizado una adaptación transcultural del cuestionario DASH siguiendo el método de traducción-retrotraducción. Para el análisis de validez se utilizó una cohorte de 98 pacientes con problemas de miembro superior que cumplimentaron la versión española (DASHe) y un cuestionario general de calidad de vida (SF-36) al inicio y final del tratamiento. Se valoraron la fiabilidad, reproducibilidad, validez de contenido, validez de constructo, validez de criterio y la sensibilidad a los cambios. Resultados: Se obtuvo una versión española lingüística y conceptualmente equivalente a la original. El DASHe mostró excelentes resultados en cuanto a consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach = 0,96), prueba test-retest (r = 0,96), práctica ausencia de efectos techo y suelo, sus puntuaciones se asociaron a características de los pacientes que indican peor estado de salud, mostró correlaciones significativas con todas las dimensiones del SF-36, y especialmente con la dimensión dolor, y presentó una excelente sensibilidad a los cambios (tamaño del efecto y respuesta media tipificada superiores a 0,80). Conclusiones: El DASHe es un instrumento equivalente a la versión original, válido, fiable y sensible a los cambios, que puede utilizarse en pacientes españoles con problemas de miembro superior
