ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Evaluar el resultado a largo plazo del tratamiento quirúrgico mediante reducción abierta y fijación interna de las fracturas de tobillo en los mayores de 65 años, y determinar la influencia de la edad y enfermedades previas en la aparición de complicaciones. Material y método. Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo sobre 40 pacientes, con una edad media de 72,7 años (rango: 65-88) intervenidos mediante reducción abierta y fijación interna por presentar fractura de tobillo desplazada. Los pacientes fueron valorados según criterios de la AOFAS, que valora el resultado funcional del tratamiento. También fueron evaluadas la presencia de comorbilidades, parámetros radiográficos, complicaciones y valoración subjetiva del paciente. Seguimiento medio de 5,73 años. Resultados. Al final del seguimiento, según criterios de la AOFAS se obtuvieron excelentes/buenos resultados en el 75% de los pacientes (n = 30); 38 pacientes refirieron estar bastante/muy contentos con el resultado. Las complicaciones más frecuentes fueron la migración del material de osteosíntesis y los problemas cutáneos de la herida. No se pudo demostrar relación estadísticamente significativa entre una mayor edad o un mayor número de enfermedades previas y una mayor frecuencia en la aparición de complicaciones (p > 0,05). Únicamente 3 pacientes necesitaron tratamiento de rehabilitación postoperatoria; el 95% de los pacientes (n = 38) refirieron haber regresado a sus actividades de vida diaria con normalidad. Conclusiones. El tratamiento quirúrgico de las fracturas desplazadas de tobillo en el paciente anciano facilita la pronta reanudación de las actividades de la vida diaria. Nivel de evidencia IV (AU)


Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term outcome of surgical treatment for displaced ankle fractures in patients over 65 years of age, and determine the influence of age and comorbidity in the occurrence of complications. Material and method. Retrospective descriptive study on 40 patients, with a mean age of 72.7 years (range: 65-88), who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of a displaced ankle fracture. The patients were clinically evaluated according to the AOFAS criteria (functional outcome). Data collection also included the presence of comorbidities, radiographic evaluation, the occurrence of postoperative complications, and a questionnaire on satisfaction with treatment received. The mean follow-up was 5.73 years. Results. At the end of the follow-up, according to the AOFAS criteria, excellent/good results were obtained in 75% of the patients (n = 30), with 38 patients referring to be quite/very happy with the result. Wound skin problems and metal work migration were the most common post-operative complications. No statistically significant relationship was found between increased age or a high number of comorbidities and an increased occurrence of postoperative complications (p > .05). Only 3 patients needed postoperative rehabilitation, and 95% of the patients (n = 38) returned to their activities of normal daily living. Conclusions. Surgical treatment of displaced ankle fractures in the elderly patient facilitates the early resumption of the activities of daily living (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El término amiloidosis se ha aplicado a un grupo de enfermedades que producen un depósito extracelular de material en órganos y tejidos. Cuando produce manifestaciones articulares genera una destrucción de las mismas con desarrollo de erosiones e importante derrame articular. El diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la amiloidosis se funda en el diagnóstico histopatológico e inmunohistoquímico de los depósitos de amiloide. Caso clínico. Presentamos un varón de 58 años, con antecedente de diálisis peritoneal hace 15 años y en tratamiento con hemodiálisis en la actualidad. Acude a nuestra consulta por dolor inguinal de un año de evolución y refractario a tratamiento analgésico. El estudio radiológico muestra una destrucción masiva de la articulación coxofemoral. Se amplió el estudio mediante resonancia magnética observando la presencia de erosiones con borde escleroso en la región ilíaca y la presencia de derrame articular abundante, datos sugestivos de artropatía inflamatoria erosiva en relación con proceso infeccioso o depósito de amiloide. Una biopsia articular mediante cirugía abierta permitió el diagnóstico de amiloidosis de cadera mediante el uso de tinción rojo Congo. Tras descartar proceso séptico se decidió la colocación de una artroplastia de cadera. Conclusión. La amiloidosis de predominio osteoarticular es una manifestación poco frecuente de esta enfermedad, el diagnóstico de sospecha es fundamental para poder orientar al anatomopatólogo a su diagnóstico definitivo, ya que el uso de estas tinciones no se realiza de rutina (AU)


Introduction. The term amyloidosis has been applied to a group of diseases which produce a deposit of extracellular material in organs and tissue. The joint symptoms appear due to the destruction process, with the development of erosions and significant joint effusions. The diagnosis and treatment of amyloidosis is based on histopathological and immunohistochemical study of the amyloid deposits. Clinical case. We present the case of a 58 year-old male, with a history of peritoneal dialysis 15 years ago and currently on haemodialysis treatment. He came to our clinic complaining of inguinal pain which began a year ago and was refractory to analgesic treatment. The radiology study showed a massive destruction of the coxofemoral joint. The study was extended by using magnetic resonance, which showed the presence of erosions with a sclerosing border in the iliac region and the presence of an abundant joint effusion; data suggestive of an erosive inflammatory arthritis associated with an infectious process or amyloid deposit. A joint biopsy using open surgery enabled the diagnosis of hip amyloidosis to be made using Congo red stain. After ruling out a septic process, it was decided to perform a hip replacement. Conclusion. Amyloidosis mainly in the bone and joint is an uncommon manifestation of this disease; the diagnostic suspicion is fundamental to be able to direct the histopathologist to its definitive diagnosis, since these stains are not used routinely (AU)
