ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To report the results of prolonged post-operative halo-gravity traction in a patient in whom the surgery had to be interrupted unexpectedly and for whom subsequently specific clinical circumstances contraindicated completion of the surgical procedure. METHODS: The patient was a 15-year-old male with severe cervico-dorsolumbar lordoscoliosis who was being studied for associated diffuse axonal injury. He performed halo-gravity traction for 12 weeks. Subsequent surgical management consisted of occipito-lumbar posterior instrumented fusion. During the surgical approach, electrocardiographic changes with hemodynamic decompensation were detected that did not improve with anesthetic reanimation. The intervention was stopped, the surgical wound was closed, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). It was decided that a revision surgery with the aim to continue with the previous strategy would imply a high risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: Orthopedic management was decided upon consisting of continued halo-gravity traction with wheelchair modification at home, which was extended to a period of 12 months because of the good results obtained in terms of cervicothoracic realignment. Two years after halo-gravity discontinuation, clinical and radiographic occipito-cervical alignment was good and the patient conserved certain occipito-cervical range of motion and had the capacity of maintaining a horizontal gaze. CONCLUSION: We considered the outcome extraordinary and relevant in this complex and unusual patient. A longer follow-up will provide more data regarding the final outcome of this treatment.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: La luxación recidivante de rótula es una condición en la cual no se mantiene la congruencia de la superficie de la rótula en su desplazamiento sobre el surco intercondíleo del fémur en los movimientos de flexoextensión de la rodilla. Los objetivos del trabajo son: mostrar la distribución de pacientes con luxación recidivante de rótula según diferentes variables sociodemográficas y evaluar los resultados con el uso de la técnica de Campbell. Material y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional en pacientes con luxación recidivante de rótula, en el período de Diciembre de 2017 a Diciembre de 2019. La recolección de datos se realizó con la revisión de las historias clínicas. La muestra fue de 19 pacientes, para la evaluación de la técnica quirúrgica se utilizó el sistema propuesto por los autores. El procesamiento de la información incluyó el cálculo de medidas de resumen para variables cualitativas, frecuencias absolutas y porcentajes. Resultados: El sexo femenino y el grupo de edad de 15 a 30 años fueron los más frecuentes, la cicatrización fue mala en dos pacientes. Se obtuvieron buenos resultados en 84.3% de los pacientes operados. Conclusiones: Predominó el sexo femenino y el grupo de 15 a 30 años, la cicatrización fue mala en dos pacientes. Se obtuvieron buenos resultados en los pacientes operados. A pesar de que la mayoría de los autores recomiendan la reparación del ligamento patelofemoral medial como técnica de elección o la técnica de Insall, la técnica de Campbell arroja buenos resultados cuando se aplica a luxación recidivante de rótula que necesita realineación proximal del mecanismo extensor.


Abstract: Introduction: the recurrent dislocation of the patella is a condition in which the congruence of the surface of the patella is not maintained in its displacement on the intercondyleal groove of the femur in the flexo-extension movements of the knee. The objectives of the study are: to show the distribution of patients with recurrent dislocation of patella according to different socio-demographic variables and to evaluate the results with the use of campbell's technique. Material and methods: An observational study was conducted in patients with recurrent patella dislocation in the period from December 2017 December 2019. Data collection was carried out with the review of medical records. The sample was 19 patients, the evaluation of the surgical technique was used the system proposed by the authors. Information processing included the calculation of summary measures for qualitative variables, absolute frequencies and percentages. Results: The female sex and the age group of 15 to 30 years were the most frequent, healing was poor in two patients, good results were obtained in 84.3% of the operated patients. Conclusions: Predominance of the female sex and the group of 15 to 30 years, the healing was bad in two patients, good results were obtained in the operated patients. Although most authors recommend medial patello-femoral ligament repair as a technique of choice or the Insall technique, Campbell's technique yields good results when applied to recurrent patella dislocation that need proximal realignment of the extensor mechanism.

ABSTRACT

El manejo de la inestabilidad patelofemoral se basa en una adecuada evaluación de alteraciones anatómicas predisponentes. Patela alta es una de las causas más importantes de inestabilidad objetiva. La alteración biomecánica que ésta produce puede conducir a luxación patelar recurrente, dolor y cambios degenerativos focales. El examen físico es fundamental en la toma de decisiones. La evaluación imagenológica ha evolucionado desde métodos basados en radiografía hacia mediciones en resonancia magnética, que permiten una orientación más acabada de la relación existente entre la rótula y la tróclea femoral. El tratamiento se fundamenta en la corrección selectiva de los factores causales, donde la osteotomía de descenso de la tuberosidad anterior de la tibia y la reconstrucción del ligamento patelofemoral medial son herramientas que deben considerarse racionalmente. Este artículo realiza una revisión de la literatura, otorgando los fundamentos quirúrgicos que explican la importancia del tratamiento específico de patela alta en inestabilidad rotuliana.


Patellofemoral instability management is based on a thorough evaluation of predisposing anatomical factors. Patella alta is one of the utmost causes of objective instability. As a result, biomechanical disturbance can lead to recurrent patellar instability, pain, and focal degenerative changes. Physical examination is paramount in decision making. Imaging evaluation has evolved from X-rays based methods to magnetic resonance measurements, which allows a more accurate assessment of the patellotrochlear relationship. Treatment is based on a selective risk factors correction, where tibial tubercle distalization osteotomy and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction must be considered altogether. This article reviews the surgical rationale of patella alta treatment in patellofemoral instability.

ABSTRACT

Introducción La luxación congénita de la rótula (LCR) es una entidad poco frecuente. El diagnóstico precoz suele ser difícil porque la rótula en el recién nacido es pequeña y de difícil palpación. El tratamiento no quirúrgico ha demostrado ser ineficaz. El enfoque terapéutico de esta patología requiere de la liberación externa y extensa del cuádriceps, el avance del vasto interno oblicuo y de la transferencia o hemitransferencia del aparato extensor. Materiales y métodos se busca evaluar la funcionalidad de los pacientes tratados quirúrgicamente mediante realineamiento proximal del mecanismo extensor por la técnica descrita por Green y modificada por los autores. Desde el año 2000 hasta el año 2015 se recolectaron 15 pacientes (20 rodillas) con diagnóstico de LCR tratados quirúrgicamente mediante la técnica descrita. Resultados Los resultados postoperatorios fueron evaluados mediante el cuestionario Kujala: 93.8/100 en promedio. Discusión El tratamiento de la LCR es un desafío y más aún si se encuentra asociada a retracción idiopática del recto anterior. Los resultados clínicos y funcionales obtenidos sugieren que la recolocación anatómica y estable de la rótula dentro de la tróclea femoral permite una satisfactoria alineación extensora del cuádriceps, desapareciendo su acción flexora inicial, lo que permite la elongación progresiva del mecanismo extensor durante las fases postoperatorias de rehabilitación. La técnica quirúrgica descrita ofrece una buena alternativa para el tratamiento de esta infrecuente patología congénita de la rodilla.


Background Congenital dislocation of the patella (CDP) is a rare condition. The early diagnosis is difficult, as the patella in the newborns is small and also difficult to recognise. The therapeutic approach of this disorder requires the extended and external release of the quadriceps, the forward movement of the internal oblique vastus, and the transfer or hemi-transfer of the extensor compartment. Methods To review the functionality of those patients who have received surgical treatment with proximal realignment of the extensor mechanism using Green's surgical technique and the one modified by the author. Between the years 2000 and 2015, a total of 15 patients with 20 knees found to have had congenital dislocation of the patella, and had received the abovementioned surgical treatment. Results The post-operative results were evaluated using the Kujala questionnaire, which gave a mean result of 93.8 / 100. Discussion The CDP treatment is a challenge, and even more so if it is associated with an idiopathic retraction of the anterior rectus. The clinical and functional results obtained suggest that an anatomic and stable realignment of the patella in the femoral trochlea allows a satisfactory extensor alignment of the quadriceps. This leads to the disappearance its initial flexor action, which allows the gradual elongation of the extensor mechanism during the postoperative phases of rehabilitation. The surgical technique described offers a good alternative for the treatment of this rare congenital disorder of the knee.

ABSTRACT

O chordee é a causa mais comum de curvatura ventral na hipospadia e também em muitos casos de curvatura ventral sem hipospadia esta última não é muito assinalada. A curvatura ventral sem hipospadia é um defeito congênito decorrente da ação insuficiente dos hormônios produzidos pelos testículos, os quais estimulam o desenvolvimento masculino. Clinicamente, chordee sem hipospadia é uma curvatura ventral entretanto, o meato da uretra está localizado em sua posição normal na glande e o tecido fibroso é o principal responsável pelo encurvamento. Para a correção da angulação do pênis, várias técnicas cirúrgicas têm sido descritas. Todavia, adotando um conceito diferente sobre a curvatura ventral, tenho utilizado o método progressivo para corrigir a deformidade. Acredito que, em princípio, a clássica excisão do tecido fibroso da face ventral até o meato uretral é o procedimento mais apropriado e frequentemente será suficiente para conseguir a adequada retificação do falo.
