RESUMO

Introduction: There is a wide variation in the clinical presentation of spinal gunshot wounds ranging from isolated minor stable fractures to extremely severe injuries with catastrophic neurological damage. Research question: we aim to analyze the risk factors for early complications and impact of surgical treatment in patients with spinal gunshot wounds. Material and methods: This is a multicentre retrospective case-control study to compare patients with spinal gunshot wounds who had early complications with those who did not. The following matching criteria were used: sex (1:1), injury level (1:1) and age (±5 years). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression. Results: Results: Among 387 patients, 36.9 % registered early complications, being persistent pain (n = 32; 15 %), sepsis/septic shock (n = 28; 13 %), pneumonia (n = 27; 13 %) and neurogenic bladder (n = 27; 12 %) the most frequently reported. After case-control matched analysis, we obtained 133 patients who suffered early complications (cases) and 133 patients who did not as control group, not differing significantly in sex (p = 1000), age (p = 0,535) and injury level (p = 1000), while the 35 % of complications group required surgical treatment versus 15 % of the non-complication group (p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, significant predictors of complications were surgical treatment for spinal injury (OR = 3.50, 95 % CI = 1.68-7.30), dirty wound (3.32, 1.50-7.34), GCS ≤8 (3.56, 1.17-10.79), hemodynamic instability (2.29, 1.07-4.88), and multiple bullets (1.97, 1.05-3.67). Discussion and conclusion: Spinal gunshot wounds are associated with a high risk of early complications, especially when spinal surgery is required, and among patients with dirty wound, low level of consciousness, hemodynamic instability, and multiple bullets.

RESUMO

STUDY DESIGN: Systematic literature review. OBJECTIVES: In this study we assessed evidence for the use of osteobiologics in single vs multi-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in patients with cervical spine degeneration. The primary objective was to compare fusion rates after single and multi-level surgery with different osteobiologics. Secondary objectives were to compare differences in patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and complications. METHODS: After a global team of reviewers was selected, a systematic review using different repositories was performed, confirming to PRISMA and GRADE guidelines. In total 1206 articles were identified and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 articles were eligible for analysis. Extracted data included fusion rates, definition of fusion, patient reported outcome measures, types of osteobiologics used, complications, adverse events and revisions. RESULTS: Fusion rates ranged from 87.7% to 100% for bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and 88.6% to 94.7% for demineralized bone matrix, while fusion rates reported for other osteobiologics were lower. All included studies showed PROMs improved significantly for each osteobiologic. However, no differences were reported when comparing osteobiologics, or when comparing single vs multi-level surgery specifically. CONCLUSION: The highest fusion rates after 2-level ACDF for cervical spine degeneration were reported when BMP-2 was used. However, PROMs did not differ between the different osteobiologics. Further blinded randomized trials should be performed to compare the use of BMP-2 in single vs multi-level ACDF specifically.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Presentar una serie de casos de fracturas vertebrales en pasajeros de autobús asociadas al pasaje por reductores de velocidad. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de una serie de casos de lesiones vertebrales torácicas y lumbosacras sufridas por pasajeros a causa del impacto del vehículo con reductores de velocidad. Se incluyó a pacientes tratados en dos instituciones, entre el 1 de enero de 2012 y el 1 de enero de 2023. Resultados: Se registraron 23 pacientes con lesiones vertebrales de la columna toraco-lumbosacra, 14 mujeres (60,9%) y 9 hombres (39,1%), promedio de la edad 43 años (DE ± 12; rango 25-62). Casi todos eran pasajeros (n = 22; 95,7%) que viajaban sentados en la última fila del autobús (n = 20; 86,5%). Un solo caso correspondía a un conductor del vehículo. Se documentaron 29 lesiones vertebrales, 28 fracturas toracolumbares (de T10 a L2; 96,6%) y una fractura de coxis (3,4%). La vértebra más comprometida fue L1 (n = 16; 55%). Las fracturas más graves (A3/A4) se asociaron con tratamiento quirúrgico (p = 0,007) y una mayor mediana de días de internación (p = 0,005). Conclusiones: Las lesiones vertebrales asociadas al impacto vehicular con reductores de velocidad son fracturas causadas por un mecanismo de compresión axial, más frecuentes en pasajeros ubicados en la última fila de asientos del autobús. Comprometen predominantemente la charnela toracolumbar y la vértebra fracturada con más frecuencia es L1 y exclusivamente uno de los platillos vertebrales. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


Objective: To present a case series of spinal fractures in bus passengers caused by passing over speed bumps. materials and methods: A descriptive and retrospective study of a case series of thoracic and lumbosacral spinal injuries suffered by passengers as a result of vehicle impacts with speed bumps was conducted. Patients treated at two institutions from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2023 were included. Results: 23 patients with vertebral injuries of the thoracolumbosacral spine were recorded: 14 women (60.9%) and 9 men (39.1%), average age 43 years (SD±12; range=25-62). Almost all of the patients were passengers (n=22, 95.7%) sitting in the last row of seats on the bus (n=20, 86.5%). A single case was documented involving the vehicle's driver. 29 spinal injuries were recorded, 28 thoracolumbar fractures (from T10 to L2; 96.6%) and 1 coccyx fracture (3.4%). The most frequently involved vertebra was L1 (n=16; 55%). The most severe fractures (A3/A4) were associated with surgical treatment (p=0.007) and a longer median hospital stay (p=0.005). Conclusions: Spinal injuries during vehicular impact with speed bumps are caused by an axial compression mechanism, with greater involvement of passengers who are located in the last row of seats. They primarily affect the thoracolumbar joint, with the L1 vertebra and exclusively one of the vertebral endplates being fractured most frequently. Level of Evidence: IV

RESUMO

Introducción: Las luxofracturas vertebrales toracolumbares se producen por traumatismos de alta energía, representan el 10% de las lesiones traumáticas de la columna vertebral y se asocian frecuentemente con otras lesiones. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar las complicaciones tempranas en pacientes con una luxofractura toracolumbar según la oportunidad quirúrgica, antes o después de las 24 h del trauma. Materiales y métodos: Estudio multicéntrico, analítico, observacional y retrospectivo de una cohorte de pacientes operados por una luxofractura toracolumbar, desde el 1 de enero de 2014 hasta el 1 de enero de 2023. Se inclu-yó a pacientes de ambos sexos, >18 años, operados por una luxofractura vertebral de alta energía. Se los agrupó según si habían sido operados de columna antes o después de las 24 h del trauma. Se registraron las complicaciones totales y agrupadas. Resultados: Se evaluó a 72 pacientes, 64 hombres (88,9%) y 8 mujeres (11,1%), con una edad promedio de 35.94 años. Predominaron las instituciones laborales (n = 60; 83,3%). El mecanismo de lesión más frecuente fueron los accidentes de tránsito (n = 42; 58,3%), seguidos de las caídas de altura (n = 26; 36,1%). El 86% sufrió una o más lesiones asociadas. Se registraron 283 complicaciones en 67 (93,1%) pacientes y 45 complicaciones quirúrgicas en 26 pacientes (36,1%). La mediana de complicaciones fue mayor en pacientes operados tardíamente (p = 0,004). Conclusiones:Los pacientes con luxofractura toracolumbar operados después de las primeras 24 h presentaron una mediana de complicaciones totales significativamente mayor que los operados precozmente. Nnivel de Evidencia: IV


Introduction: Thoracolumbar fracture-dislocations account for 10% of traumatic spinal injuries and typically occur in the context of high-energy trauma. Our objective is to compare early complications in patients with thoracolumbar fracture-dislocation based on surgical timing, either before or after 24 hours from the trauma.materials and methods: This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of patients surgically treated for thoracolumbar dislocations, from January 1, 2014 to January 1, 2023. We included adult patients (>18 years old) of any gender, surgically treated for high-energy thoracolumbar fracture-dislocations. Patients were grouped based on when they underwent spinal surgery: before or after 24 hours following trauma. Total and grouped complications were recorded. Results: Our sample comprised 72 patients, with 64 men (88.9%) and 8 women (11.1%) at an average age of 35.94 years. Occupational health care centers were predominant (n=60; 83.3%). Road traffic accidents (n=42; 58.3%) were the most frequent cause of injury, followed by falls from height (n=26; 36.1%). Furthermore, 86% of patients had one or more associated injuries. In total, 283 complications were recorded, with 67 patients (93.1%) suffering at least one complication, and 26 patients (36.1%) experiencing surgical complications. The median number of complications was significantly higher in late-operated patients (p=0.004). Conclusions: Patients with thoracolumbar dislocations who underwent surgery after the first 24 hours following trauma had a significantly higher median rate of complications than those who underwent early surgery.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Presentar una serie de casos de pacientes con fracturas cervicales de tipo "masa lateral flotante" con énfasis en describir el rol de la lesión discal en la potencial inestabilidad segmentaria. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de una serie de pacientes con fracturas facetarias de tipo "masa lateral flotante", aisladas, diagnosticadas entre el 1 de enero de 2016 y el 1 de enero de 2022. Se incluyeron pacientes con lesiones de tipo "masa lateral flotante" según la clasificación AO, diagnosticadas por tomografía computarizada y, al menos, 6 meses de seguimiento. Se excluyó a aquellos con fracturas patológicas, lesiones por fragilidad ósea y registros incompletos. Resultados: Se analizó a 16 pacientes (media de la edad 42.86; DE 12,396), con predominio del sexo masculino (81,25%). El 68,75% tenía una lesión del disco intervertebral en el segmento fracturado y el 18,75%, anterolistesis. A 11 pacientes se les propuso un tratamiento conservador durante 12 semanas. La fractura consolidó en el 45,4% y 6 (54,6%) evolucionaron con traslación. El fracaso del tratamiento conservador se asoció con lesión del disco intervertebral. Once pacientes fueron operados, en su mayoría, con artrodesis cervical anterior monosegmentaria. Conclusiones: En esta serie de casos, la presencia de una lesión asociada del disco intervertebral fue más frecuente cuando el tratamiento conservador fracasó y cuando se decidió una artrodesis como tratamiento inicial. La mayoría de las cirugías se realizaron por vía anterior con discectomía y artrodesis cervical anterior en un único nivel, y se lograron buenos resultados. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


Introduction: We report a series of patients with "floating lateral mass" cervical fractures, focusing on the role of disc injury in potential segmental instability. materials and methods: We conducted a descriptive and retrospective study on a case series of isolated floating lateral mass facet fractures diagnosed between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2022. Patients with floating lateral mass lesions according to the AO classification, diagnosed by computed tomography, and at least 6 months of follow-up were included. Patients with pathological fractures, bone fragility injuries and incomplete records were excluded. Results: We included 16 cases, the average age was 42.86 (SD 12.396), and the majority were male (n=13; 81.25%). 68.75% (n=11) had intervertebral disc injury in the fractured segment, while 18.75% (n=3) had anterolisthesis. Conservative treatment was proposed for 12 weeks in 11 patients (68.75%), of whom 5 (45.4%) achieved fracture healing and 6 (54.6%) progressed to translation. Cases where conservative treatment failed were associated with intervertebral disc injury. Eleven patients were treated surgically, mostly with monosegmental anterior cervical arthrodesis. Conclusions: We report a series of cases in which the existence of an associated intervertebral disc injury was more frequent in patients with failed conservative treatment and in those initially treated with arthrodesis. Most of the surgical cases were treated using an anterior approach with discectomy and anterior cervical arthrodesis at a single level, with favorable outcomes. Level of Evidence: IV

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe the perceived feasibility of minimally invasive surgical treatment of thoracolumbar fractures among spine surgeons in Latin American centers. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study on minimally invasive surgical treatment for unstable thoracolumbar fractures. We conducted an online survey of spine surgeons working in Latin American centers, administered between December 16, 2022 and January 15, 2023. A nonprobabilistic sample was selected (snowball sampling). A questionnaire was sent by email and other messaging applications. RESULTS: Data were extracted from 134 surgeons. The majority of the respondents were from Brazil (n = 30, 22.4%), Mexico (n = 24, 17.9%), Argentina (n = 22, 16.4%), and Chile (n = 15, 11.2%). Their mean age was 46.53 years (standard deviation, 9.7; range 31-67) and almost all were males (n = 128, 95.5%). Most respondents were orthopedists (n = 85, 63.4%) or neurosurgeons (n = 49, 36.9%). Most of the respondents (n = 110, 82.1%) reported at least some difficulty using minimally invasive techniques for thoracolumbar fractures. It should be noted that there were significant regional differences between the surgeons' responses (P = 0.017). Chilean surgeons reported better results than others. CONCLUSION: Spinal surgeons from Latin American centers have identified challenges and obstacles to performing minimally invasive surgery for thoracolumbar trauma. The survey found that a majority of respondents experienced some level of difficulty, with regional variations. The most frequently reported difficulties were the high cost of the procedure, patient insurance restrictions, and long insurance approval times.

RESUMO

Introducción: la pandemia por COVID-19 afectó negativamente los sistemas de salud. Las fracturas vertebrales osteoporóticas y el aislamiento social se relacionan con mayor morbimortalidad. Objetivos: caracterizar la morbilidad de las fracturas vertebrales osteoporóticas y evaluar una posible relación entre morbilidad y nivel de aislamiento social se-cundario al estado de pandemia. Material y métodos: estudio observacional, analítico y transversal. Resultados: se incluyeron en el estudio 45 adultos. La fractura fue mayorita-riamente lumbar con una evolución superior de 3 meses. El 35% presentaba seguimiento, el 48% había recibido tratamiento para osteoporosis y el 48% presentaba fracturas previas documentadas. El 46% refirió falta de accesibilidad al sistema. Se evaluó el aisla-miento social con la escala sociofamiliar de Gijón, que evidenció una situación buena en el 75% y un deterioro social intermedio/severo en el 24%. El Índice de Oswestry mostró una discapacidad mínima/moderada en el 66% y severa o mayor en el 33%. Se evaluó el dolor por la Escala análoga visual (VAS) y se obtuvo un VAS mayor de 5 en el 57%. Al comparar el grupo de situación sociofamiliar buena con el de deterioro social intermedio/severo se observó una diferencia en multipli-cidad de fracturas (p 0,030), hipovitaminosis D (p 0,045) y falta de accesibilidad (p 0,029). En discapacidad y dolor no hubo diferencias. Conclusión: el grupo con mayor aislamiento presentó una enfermedad más severa en términos de multiplicidad de fracturas e hipovitaminosis D; esto podría indicar una asociación entre aislamiento social secundario al estado de pandemia y morbilidad por las fracturas vertebrales. (AU)


Introduction: the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on healthcare systems. Osteoporotic vertebral fractures and social isolation have a significant morbidity in our setting. Objectives: to characterize the morbidity of osteoporotic vertebral fractures and evaluate a potential relationship between morbidity and the level of social isolation secondary to the pandemic. Material and methods: observational, analytical and cross-sectional study. Results: forty-five adults were included. Fractures were mostly lumbar with a history of over 3 months. Thirty-five percent (35%) had been followed-up, 48% had been treated for osteoporosis and 48% had previous documented fractures. Forty-six percent (46%) reported lack of accessibility to healthcare. Social isolation was measured using Gijón ́s social-familial evaluation scale, which showed a good situation in 75% of cases and an intermediate/severe social deterioration in 24%. According to the Oswestry index, disability was minimal/moderate in 66% of cases and severe or worse in 33%. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), with a score greater than 5 recorded in 57% of patients. When comparing the group with a good social-familial situation vs. the group with intermediate/severe social deterioration, differences were found in multiplicity of fractures (p 0.030), hypovitaminosis D (p 0.045) and lack of accessibility (p 0.029). No differences were found in disability and pain. Conclusion: the group with higher levels of isolation exhibited more severe disease in terms of multiplicity of fractures and hypovitaminosis D, which might suggest an association between social isolation secondary to the pandemic and morbidity due to vertebral fractures.

RESUMO

Introducción: El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue estimar el nivel de conocimiento de los médicos especialistas en Ortopedia y Traumatología sobre el proceso editorial de las revistas científicas. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal sobre el nivel de conocimiento de los médicos traumatólogos respecto del proceso editorial de las revistas científicas, mediante un cuestionario entregado entre junio y agosto de 2022. Se registraron datos sociodemográficos y variables sobre la experiencia en investigación y el conocimiento del proceso editorial. Resultados: Se recibieron 130 encuestas completadas que correspondían a 118 hombres (90,8%) y 12 mujeres (9,2%) (media de la edad 48 años; DE = 12). Poco más de la mitad de la muestra (n = 72; 55%) eran traumatólogos que trabajaban en instituciones del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. El 60% de los médicos encuestados poseía un conocimiento bajo o moderado del proceso editorial. Se halló una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre un nivel alto de conocimiento del proceso editorial y la publicación de más de 5 artículos en revistas indexadas (p <0,001), en la revista de nuestra Asociación (p <0,001) y en congresos o jornadas científicos (p = 0,008). Conclusiones: La mayoría de los traumatólogos encuestados tenía un conocimiento bajo o moderado del proceso editorial de manuscritos científicos. Por otra parte, un alto nivel de conocimiento al respecto tuvo una asociación estadísticamente significativa con una mayor experiencia en la publicación de manuscritos científicos en revistas indexadas. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


Introduction: Our aim was to assess the level of knowledge of the editorial process of scientific journals among orthopedic surgeons. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study that evaluates participants' understanding of the editorial process of scientific journals. Between June and August 2022, a questionnaire was distributed to orthopedic surgeons who were members of the Argentine Association of Orthopedics and Traumatology. Demographic data and variables on research experience and knowledge about editorial process were recorded. Results: The survey had 130 respondents, 118 men (90.8%) and 12 women (9.2%), with a mean age of 48 years old (SD = 12). More than half of surveyed surgeons (n = 72; 55%) were from the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. In our study, 60% of orthopedic surgeons had a low or moderate understanding of the editorial process. A high level of knowledge of the editorial process was associated with having published more than 5 articles in indexed journals (p<0.001), in our association's journal (p<0.001), and in scientific congresses/seminars (p= 0.008). Conclusions: The majority of the orthopedic surgeons surveyed in our cross-sectional study had a low or moderate level of knowledge about the scientific manuscript editing process. On the other hand, having a high level of knowledge in this area was associated with more experience in the publication of scientific manuscripts in indexed journals. Level of Evidence: IV

RESUMO

Introducción: Las lesiones vertebrales por arma de fuego representan el 13-17% de las lesiones vertebrales traumáticas con presentación clínica variable. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar las características demográficas y clínico-terapéuticas de pacientes que sufrieron lesiones vertebrales por arma de fuego en el contexto de accidentes laborales, según la posibilidad de retorno laboral. materiales y métodos: Estudio analítico, observacional y retrospectivo de pacientes con lesión vertebral por arma de fuego en accidentes de trabajo, entre enero de 2012 y marzo de 2022. Se registraron variables sociodemográficas y relacionadas con el siniestro, la atención inicial, la lesión vertebral, el tratamiento, la evolución y el retorno laboral. Resultados: Se evaluó a 22 pacientes (15 hombres y 7 mujeres; media de la edad 32.5 años). El 54% eran trabajadores de fuerzas de seguridad; no obstante, el 82% de los accidentes se había producido in itinere. El 90% tenía lesiones asociadas. Doce (55%) requirieron cirugía y 10 (45%), tratamiento conservador. El 81% sufrió complicaciones. Doce (54%) regresaron al trabajo, un tercio fue recalificado y 9 requirieron la baja laboral. Se halló una asociación estadística entre pacientes con baja laboral permanente y topografía torácica (p = 0,005), daño neurológico severo (p = 0,004), incidencia transfixiante o penetrante (p = 0,005), requerimiento de tratamiento psiquiátrico crónico (p = 0,012) y más días de incapacidad laboral temporaria (p = 0,001). Conclusión: La baja laboral permanente se asoció con lesiones torácicas, transfixiantes o penetrantes, compromiso neurológico severo y requerimiento de tratamiento psiquiátrico clínico-farmacológico crónico. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


Introduction: Firearm spinal injuries account for 13-17% of all traumatic spinal injuries, with varying clinical manifestations. The goal of this study was to examine the demographic and clinical-therapeutic characteristics of patients who suffered spinal injuries as a consequence of gunshots in the context of workplace incidents, based on how soon they could return to work. materials and methods: An analytic, observational, and retrospective study of patients with spinal injuries caused by firearms in workplace incidents between January 2012 and March 2022 was conducted. Variables associated with the incident, initial assessment, spinal injury, treatment, progression, and return to work were recorded. Results: Twenty-two individuals were evaluated (15 men and 7 women; mean age 32.5 years). 54% were law enforcement officers, yet 82% of the accidents happened on the job. 90% had associated injuries. Twelve (55%) required surgery, while ten (45%) required conservative treatment. 81% had complications. Twelve patients (54%) returned to work, one-third were requalified, and nine needed sick leave. Patients on permanent sick leave had a statistically significant relationship with chest topography (p = 0.005), severe neurological damage (p = 0.004), transfixing or penetrating injuries (p = 0.005), the need for chronic psychiatric treatment (p = 0.012), and more days of temporary incapacity for work (p = 0.001). Conclusion: In our series, permanent sick leave was associated with thoracic, transfixing, or penetrating injuries, severe neurological compromise, and the need for chronic clinical-pharmacological psychiatric treatment.

RESUMO

ntroducción: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar a una serie de pacientes con la asociación de múltiples fracturas vertebrales inestables (tipo B o C) simultáneas. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo de pacientes con trauma vertebromedular de alta energía y asociación de múltiples fracturas vertebrales inestables simultáneas entre enero de 2015 y enero de 2021. Se incluyó a pacientes con fracturas vertebrales múltiples tipo B (asociación de lesión ligamentaria) o tipo C (evidencia de subluxación/luxación). Se excluyó a pacientes con registros incompletos de historias clínicas, fracturas por osteoporosis o patológicas y seguimiento <3 meses. Resultados: Se constataron 5 pacientes (1 mujer y 4 hombres) con dos fracturas vertebrales inestables simultáneas, con 4 casos (80%) de fracturas no contiguas y 3 casos (60%) con 2 luxofracturas simultáneas no contiguas ("columna flotante"); 2 (40%) pacientes presentaron la asociación de una fractura tipo B con una tipo C. La mediana de la edad era de 35 años. Todos tenían traumatismos de alta energía con lesiones asociadas. Los pacientes fueron operados por vía posterior convencional, con reducción y artrodesis larga. Se constató la recuperación neurológica en 2 pacientes. Conclusión: Presentamos una serie de casos de múltiples fracturas vertebrales inestables (tipo B o C) y simultáneas por traumatismos de alta energía. Esta asociación de lesiones es poco frecuente y tiene una elevada morbilidad relacionada con el trauma vertebral, sistémico y neurológico. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


ntroduction: We intend to present a series of patients with associated multiple and simultaneous unstable spinal fractures (Type B or C). materials and methods: A descriptive analysis of patients with high-energy spinal cord injuries and associated multiple unstable and simultaneous spinal fractures from January 2015 to January 2021 was conducted. Patients with type B (ligament injury) and/or type C (subluxation/dislocation) multiple spinal fractures were included. Patients with incomplete medical records, osteoporotic or pathological fractures, or fewer than 3 months of follow-up were excluded. Results: We included 5 patients (1 woman and 4 men) with two simultaneous unstable spinal fractures, including 4 cases (80%) of non-contiguous fractures and 3 (60%) with two simultaneous non-contiguous fracture dislocations ("floating spine"); 2 (40%) cases had a type B fracture associated with a type C fracture. The median age was 35 years. High-energy trauma with associated injuries occurred in all cases. All patients were surgically treated with a conventional posterior approach, reduction, and long arthrodesis. In two patients, neurological recovery was confirmed. Conclusion: A case series of multiple simultaneous unstable spinal fractures (type B or C) caused by high-energy trauma is presented. This is a rare injury association with significant morbidity associated with spinal, systemic, and neurological trauma. Level of Evidence: IV

RESUMO

Objetivo: Describir los tiempos de internación, cirugía y rehabilitación de una serie de pacientes con cadera flotante. El objetivo secundario fue comparar los resultados obtenidos en función de la reinserción laboral con los de pacientes que sufrieron fracturas de pelvis o acetábulo sin fractura femoral asociada. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo y multicéntrico de pacientes con trauma de pelvis y acetábulo de alta energía, divididos en dos grupos de estudio según la presencia de fractura de fémur asociada homolateral (cadera flotante) para su comparación, durante el período comprendido entre enero de 2014 y marzo de 2019. Resultados: Se incluyó a 102 pacientes con trauma de pelvis o acetábulo agrupados en 2 poblaciones según la presencia de cadera flotante (cadera flotante 23; pelvis/acetábulo 79). Las medianas de días de internación [cadera flotante 15,5 (rango 4-193); pelvis/acetábulo 7 (rango 3-31); p = 0,0001] y de la cantidad de cirugías por paciente [cadera flotante 5 (rango 3-8); pelvis/acetábulo 2 (rango 1-4); p = 0,0001] fueron mayores en los pacientes con cadera flotante. Además, la incapacidad laboral temporaria fue más alta (p = 0,00012), sin diferencias significativas en la tasa de recalificación laboral (p = 0,11). Conclusión: La asociación de la lesión cadera flotante aumentó significativamente el tiempo de internación, los procedimientos quirúrgicos necesarios y el tiempo de recuperación según la incapacidad laboral temporaria en pacientes con trauma de pelvis o acetábulo. Nivel de Evidencia: III


Objective: We aim to describe the lengths of hospitalization, surgery, and rehabilitation of a series of patients with floating hip. As a secondary objective, to compare the outcomes obtained in terms of return to work in patients who had suffered fractures of the pelvis or acetabulum without an associated femoral fracture. Materials and Methods: Descriptive, retrospective, and multicenter study of patients with high-energy trauma to the pelvis and acetabulum divided into two study populations according to the presence of associated ipsilateral femur fracture (floating hip) for comparison, during the period January 2014 - March 2019. Results: 102 patients with pelvis and/or acetabulum trauma were included, grouped into 2 populations according to the presence of a float-ing hip (Floating hip: 23 patients; Pelvis/acetabulum: 79 patients). The median days of hospitalization [floating hip: median = 15.5 (range = 4-193); pelvis/acetabulum: 7 (3-31); p = 0.0001] and the number of surgeries per patient [FH: median = 5 (range = 3-8); pelvis/acetabulum: 2 (1-4); p = 0.0001] were higher in patients with floating hip. Additionally, temporary work disability was higher (p = 0.00012), with no significant differences in the rate of job retraining (p = 0.11). Conclusion: Floating hip significantly increased the length of hospitalization, necessary surgical procedures, and recovery times according to temporary work disability in patients with trauma to the pelvis and/or acetabulum.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Acute spinal cord injury without tomographic evidence of vertebral fracture or dislocation in patients post trauma can represent a diagnostic challenge for the treating physician. The ossification of thoracic ligamentum flavum has been widely published as a cause of thoracic myelopathy, however its association with acute traumatic spinal cord injury is limited to isolated cases. CASE PRESENTATION: we report a Caucasian 37-year-old man who suffered a high-energy thoracolumbar spine trauma in a motorcycle accident with acute paraplegia. He presented ossification of the ligamentum flavum between the thoracic vertebrae T10 and T11 with a decrease in the diameter of the vertebral canal as the only pathological finding. We treated the patient with early surgical release before 72 h of trauma. We performed a posterior approach with hemilaminectomy and T10-T11 flavectomy. Arthrodesis was done with T10-T11 pedicle screws. Postoperative neurological status improved from ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) A to C with severe functional dependence. DISCUSSION: Ossification of the ligamentum flavum should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with acute traumatic spinal cord injury without tomographic evidence of trauma. A proper diagnosis in time is the key to decision making and treatment of spinal cord injury. Especially in adult patients, we must consider nontraumatic associated factors that could be involved in the spinal cord injury mechanism, such as ossification of the ligamentum flavum.
