ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Congenital muscular torticollis is the postural deformity of the head and of the neck. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the results of bipolar sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle tenotomy in children. METHODS: The present prospective study was conducted at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery from December 2010 to December 2014. A total of 34 children with congenital muscular torticollis and a mean age of 4.8 years (range: 1­14 years) were recruited from the Outpatient Department. They were treated with bipolar SCM muscle release under general anesthesia. The functional and cosmetic results were rated on a scoring system modified from Lim et al (2014). All of the children were followed-up for 2 years. RESULTS: At the final follow-up, the neck range of movement and head tilt improved and their appearance were cosmetically improved despite the long-standing nature of the deformity. The results were excellent in 30 patients (88.23%) and good in 4 patients (11.76%). No postoperative complications were found in any of the 34 patients. CONCLUSION: Bipolar tenotomy of the SCM muscle is a good method for correcting difficult cases of congenital muscular torticollis. It is a safe, effective and complicationfree method for these patients.


INTRODUCCIÓN: La tortícolis muscular congénita es la deformidad postural de la cabeza y del cuello. El propósito de este estudio es evaluar los resultados de la tenotomía del músculo esternocleidomastoideo bipolar en niños. MÉTODOS: Este estudio prospectivo, se realizó en el departamento de Cirugía Ortopédica a partir de diciembre de 2010 a diciembre de 2014. Treinta y cuatro niños con tortícolis muscular congénita con una edad media de 4,8 años (rango: 1 a 14 años) fueron reclutados del ambulatorio. Fueron tratados con liberación de músculo esternocleidomustoide bipolar bajo anestesia general. Los resultados funcionales y cosméticos se evaluaron en un sistema de puntuación modificado de Lim y col (2014). Todos los niños recibieron acompañamiento durante dos años. RESULTADOS: En el acompañamiento final, el rango del cuello del movimiento, la inclinación y su apariencia fueron cosméticamente mejorados a pesar de la permanente naturaleza de la deformidad. Los resultados fueron excelentes en treinta pacientes (88,23%) y bueno en cuatro pacientes (11,76%).. No se encontraron complicaciones en el post-operatorio de esos 34 pacientes. CONCLUSIÓN: La tenotomía bipolar de los esternocleidomastoideos es un buen método para corregir los casos de tortícolis muscular congénita.. Para los pacientes, es un método seguro, efectivo y sin complicaciones.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the results of percutaneous injection of autologous bone marrow in the treatment of fractures presenting with delayed union or non-union after internal fixation. Methods: This prospective study was carried out at the Orthopeedics Department from June 2005 to June 2010. A total of 93 patients with delayed union and non-union (56 delayed unions and 37 non-unions) of the long bone were recruited from the Emergency and Outpatient Departments and treated with percutaneous autologous bone marrow injections. The clinical results of this study were rated on the basis of the criteria of union. All patients were followed for 24 months. Results: All the fractures (delayed union and non-union) were united within 12 weeks. Most of the patients had discomfort at the donor site for few days; none had problems of persistent pain. The results were excellent in 68.81% (64/93) of cases, good in 19.35% (18/93) of cases, and poor in 11.82% (11/93) of cases. Conclusion: Percutaneous autologous bone marrow injection is an effective and safe method for the treatment of diaphyseal non-union and delayed union. Thus, it is concluded that with an adequate amount of autologous bone marrow injection, successful union in delayed union and non-union of fractures of long bones can be achieved.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os resultados da injeção percutânea de medula óssea autóloga no tratamento de fraturas com retardo de consolidação ou pseudoartrose após fixação interna. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo feito no Departamento de Ortopedia de junho de 2005 a junho de 2010. Foram recrutados 93 pacientes com retardo de consolidação e pseudoartrose (56 retardos de consolidação e 37 pseudoartroses) de osso longo dos Departamentos de Emergência e Ambulatórios e tratados com injeções de medula óssea autóloga percutânea. Os resultados clínicos deste estudo foram avaliados com base em critérios de consolidação. Todos os pacientes foram seguidos durante 24 meses. Resultados: Todas as fraturas (retardo de consolidação e pseudoartrose) apresentaram consolidação dentro de 12 semanas. A maioria dos pacientes apresentava desconforto na região doadora por alguns dias; nenhum caso de dor persistente foi observado. Os resultados foram excelentes em 68,81% (64/93), bons em 19,35% (18/93) e ruins em 11,82% (11/93) dos casos. Conclusão: A injeção de medula óssea autóloga percutânea é um método efetivo e seguro para o tratamento da pseudoartrose e do retardo de consolidação diafisários. Assim, conclui-se que uma quantidade adequada de injeção autóloga de medula óssea pode levar a uma consolidação bem sucedida em casos de retardo de consolidação e pseudoartrose de fraturas de ossos longos.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the results of percutaneous golfer's elbow release under local anesthesia. METHODS: From December 2010 to December 2013, 34 elbows in 34 patients (10 males and 24 females) that presented golfer's elbow for over one year were recruited from the outpatient department. All patients were operated under local anesthesia and were followed-up for 12 months. The functional outcome was evaluated through the Mayo Elbow Performance Index (MEPI). RESULTS: Pain relief was achieved on average eight weeks after surgery. The results were excellent in 88.23% (30/34) cases and good in 11.76% (4/34) cases. Neither wound-related complications nor ulnar nerve complications were observed. On subjective evaluations, 88.23% (30/34) patients reported full satisfaction and 11.76% (4/34) patients reported partial satisfaction with the results of treatment. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous golfer's elbow release under local anesthesia is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. This procedure is easy, quick, and economical, presenting a low complication rate with good results.


RESUMO OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados da liberação percutânea do cotovelo de golfista sob anestesia local. MÉTODOS: Entre dezembro de 2010 e dezembro de 2013, 34 cotovelos em 34 pacientes (10 homens e 24 mulheres) que apresentavam cotovelo de golfista havia mais de um ano foram recrutados do ambulatório. Todos os pacientes foram operados sob anestesia local e foram acompanhados por 12 meses. O resultado funcional foi avaliado pelo Mayo Elbow Performance Index (MEPI). RESULTADOS: O alívio da dor foi alcançado em média oito semanas após a cirurgia. Os resultados foram excelentes em 88,23% (30/34) dos casos e bons em 11,76% (4/34) dos casos. Não se observaram complicações relacionadas à ferida nem complicações do nervo ulnar. Em avaliações subjetivas, 88,23% (30/34) dos pacientes relataram satisfação total e 11,76% (4/34) dos pacientes relataram satisfação parcial com os resultados do tratamento. CONCLUSÃO: A liberação percutânea do cotovelo de golfista sob anestesia local é um procedimento minimamente invasivo que pode ser feito em ambulatório. Esse procedimento é fácil, rápido e econômico, apresenta um baixo índice de complicações e bons resultados.
