ABSTRACT

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a worldwide public health problem, with an annual incidence of 1-2 cases/1,000 individuals in the general population and a 1-5% associated mortality. Orthopedic surgery is a major surgical risk factor for VTE, but the problem is more important for patients with hip and knee joint replacement, multiple traumatisms, severe damage to the spine, or large fractures. Thromboprophylaxis is defined as the strategy and actions necessary to diminish the risk of VTE in high-risk orthopedic surgery. Antithrombotics may prevent VTE. At the end of this paper, we describe a proposal of thromboprophylaxis actions for patients requiring high-risk orthopedic surgery, based on the opinion of specialists in Orthopedics and Traumatology who work with high-risk orthopedic surgery patients. A search for evidence about this kind of surgery was performed and a 100-item inquiring instrument was done in order to know the opinions of the participants. Then, recommendations and considerations were built. In conclusion, this document reviews the problem of VTE in high-risk orthopedic surgery patients and describes the position of the Colegio Mexicano de Ortopedia y Traumatología related to VTE prevention in this setting.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: The results obtained when employing distal femoral varus osteotomy are variable. Our objective was to describe a surgical technique involving minimal dissection, semicircular osteotomy with external fixation for valgus angular deformities, and early weight bearing. DESIGN: Series of cases. SETTING: Orthopedic Referral Trauma Center. PATIENTS: Sixteen patients with valgus angular deformities of >12°. INTERVENTION: Wedge varus osteotomy, minimal dissection with external fixation using a standard system, multidirectional Newfix. Main outcome measurements included pain, surgical time, knee flexion and extension angles, and assessment of knee function based on the Hospital Special Surgery knee rating scale (HSSkrs). RESULTS: Of 16 patients, 14 were evaluated to the end of the study. When we compared preoperative values with those obtained postoperatively at a mean of 24±2.1months, pain measurement was reduced from 7 to 2.1 (p=0.002), angle of flexion was reduced from 105.4±14.6° to 105.3±11.1° (p=0.06), and angle of extension, from -1.67 to -1.25° (p=0.6), while HSSkrs assessment increased from 67.5±2.7 to 79.4±5 (p=0.003). Two patients were excluded from the study, one due to infection that developed along the trajectory of a screw, and the other patient underwent complete arthroplasty of the knee, which was performed to combat the pain that was not being alleviated. CONCLUSIONS: The technique improves function and reduces pain while facilitating early rehabilitation in 83% of cases.

ABSTRACT

En el Departamento Clínico de Extremidad Torácica, Hospital de Traumatología y Ortopedia "Lomas Verdes" del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social y en la consulta privada del doctor Victorio De la Fuente Narváez, fueron tratados quirúrgicamente 40 pacientes por luxación recidivante escápulo-humeral anterior con técnica "De la Fuente" en el periodo comprendido entre agosto de 1974 a noviembre de 1992. Se realizó la evaluación de los resultados en base a fuerza muscular, arcos de movimiento, reintegración a las labores cotidianas y opinión del paciente, encontrando 31 pacientes con resultados excelentes (77.5 por ciento), ocho con resultados buenos (20 por ciento) y uno con resultados regular (2.5 por ciento). Las principales ventajas de este procedimiento son: la ausencia en la limitación de los arcos de movimiento de la articulación del hombro, la rápida reincorporación del paciente a sus actividades habituales y la ausencia de recidivas

ABSTRACT

Se trataron 40 pacientes quirúrgicamente por luxación recurrente escápulo-humeral en su variedad anterior, en el Módulo de Extremidad Torácica del H.T.O.L.V. del IMSS y en la consulta privada del Dr. Víctor De la Fuente Narváez con técnica de artroplastia de "De la Fuente" en el periodo comprendido de agosto de 1974 a noviembre de 1992. Se realizó diagnóstico clínico, radiográfico, artrográfico y tomográfico en todos los pacientes. De los 40 pacientes, 34 (85 por ciento) correspondieron al sexo masculino y seis (15 por ciento) al sexo femenino. Las edades fluctuaron entre los 17 y 59 años de edad con una media de 38 años. El tiempo de evolución postquirúrgica de 15 pacientes fue de 2-19 años y el resto de 2-8 meses. Se intervinieron 22 (55 por ciento) obreros, 10 (25 por ciento) profesionistas, cuatro (10 por ciento) estudiantes, tres (7.5 por ciento) amas de casa y un (1.5 por ciento) deportistas. Se obtuvieron 31 (77.5 por ciento con resultados excelentes, ocho (20 por ciento) pacientes con buenos resultados y un (2.5 por ciento) pacientes con regular resultado. No hemos encontrado malos resultados
