ABSTRACT

A patela é o maior osso sesamoide do corpo humano, posicionado longitudinalmente na fáscia do músculo quadríceps, entre os tendões quadríceps e patelar. A patela bipartida dolorosa, também conhecida como "sincrondose dolorosa", é uma causa conhecida de dor no joelho anterior, é um diagnóstico de exclusão. Objetivo: Relatar um caso e revisar a literatura acerca desta lesão incomum. Materiais e Métodos: Revisão do prontuário do paciente no Hospital Luxemburgo, registro fotográfico do método diagnóstico e revisão da literatura. Resultados: Homem de 45 anos com dor no joelho direito há 01 ano, principalmente na região anterior, que piora ao agachar. Ao exame físico apresenta edema com dor a palpação da patela. A radiografia demonstra patela bipartida. A ressonância magnética (RM) do joelho direito demonstra patela bipartida com união fibrosa entre o fragmento bipartido superolateral e a patela, associada a lesões condrais e edema subcondrais, compatível com "sincondrose dolorosa" da patela. Conclusão: Este relato demonstra a dificuldade de diagnosticar está lesão, pois seu o exame físico é inespecífico e a radiografia demonstra apenas a variação da normalidade ­ patela bipartida, sem evidenciar as alterações próprias da doença, caracterizada apenas pela RM.


The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in thehuman body, positioned longitudinally in the quadriceps muscle fascia, between the quadriceps and patellar tendons. The painful bipartite patella, also known as "painful synchondrosis", is a known cause of anterior knee pain, is a diagnosis of exclusion.Objective: Report a case and review the literature about this uncommon lesion. Materials and Methods: We carried out a review of medical records at Hospital Luxemburgo, a photographic record of diagnostic methods, and a review from the literature. Results: 45-year-old man with right knee pain for 1 year, mainly in the anterior region, which worsens when crouching. Physical examination shows edema with pain on palpation of the patella. Right knee radiography demonstrates a bipartite patella. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the right knee demonstrates a bipartite patella with a fibrous union between the superolateral bipartite fragment and the patella, associated with chondral lesions and subchondral edema, compatible with patella "painful synchondrosis". Conclusion: This report demonstrates the difficulty of diagnosing this lesion, since its physical examination is nonspecific and the radiography shows only the normal variation ­ bipartite patella, without evidencing the disease alterations, characterized only by MRI.

ABSTRACT

Bipartite patella is a normal anatomic variant of patella. There are various data about the prevalence of bipartite patella in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate its prevalence, type distribution and sex predilection in Turkish population. Bilateral knee radiographs were retrospectively reviewed of 897 consecutive adult patients. Cases with bipartite patella were categorized according to the Oohashi classification. Medical records were examined in order to differentiate symptomatic and asymptomatic bipartite patellae. We contacted symptomatic patients by telephone to learn continuity of knee pain. We identified 11 cases (7 male, 4 female) of bipartite patella among the 283 male and 614 female patients. No bilateral cases were identified. The prevalence of bipartite patella was 1.22% overall, 2.47% in males, and 0.65% in females. The most common type was superolateral bipartite patella as seen in 9 patients (81.8%). One subject had lateral bipartite and one subject had superolateral tripartite patella. Painful bipartite patella was found in only 2 patients (18%). One of them had continuing symptoms even after 12 months. In conclusion, we found that the prevalence of bipartite patella in Turkish population was approximately 1%. Both inclusion of only adult (skeletally mature) subjects and assessment with bilateral imaging increased the reliability of this value. In accordance with the literature, bipartite patella was found significantly more frequent in males and mostly in superolateral type. More studies are needed in order to obtain the prevalence, type and sex distribution of bipartite patella in different populations.


La patela bipartita es una variante anatómica normal. En la literaturahay varios datos sobre la prevalencia de patela bipartitae. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la prevalencia, distribución y aparición según sexo en la población turca. Se revisaron retrospectivamente radiografías bilaterales de rodilla de 897 pacientes adultos. Los casos con patela bipartita se clasificaron de acuerdo a la clasificación de Oohashi. Fueron examinados los registros médicos de los pacientes con el fin de diferenciar los casos de patela bipartita sintomática y asintomática. Se estableció contacto con los casos sintomáticos por teléfono para conocer la continuidad del dolor de rodilla. Se identificaron 11 casos (7 varones, 4 mujeres) de patela bipartita entre 283 hombres y 614 pacientes de sexo femenino. No se identificaron casos bilaterales. La prevalencia de patela bipartita fue de 1,22% en total, 2,47% en varones y 0,65% en las mujeres. El tipo más común fue la patela bipartita superolateral en 9 pacientes (81,8%). Un sujeto presentó patela bipartita lateral y en otro caso, patela tripartita superolateral. La patela bipartita dolorosa fue encontrada en sólo 2 pacientes (18%). Uno de ellos presentó síntomas que continuaron incluso después de 12 meses. En conclusión, se encontró que la prevalencia de la patela bipartita en la población turca fue de aproximadamente un 1%. La inclusión en esta investigación de solo sujetos adultos (con el esqueleto maduro) y el estudio de imágenes bilaterales aumentó la fiabilidad de estos parámetros. De acuerdo con la literatura, la patela bipartita se encontró significativamente de manera más frecuente en hombres y en su mayoría se trató del tipo superolateral. Se necesitan más estudios para obtener la prevalencia, tipo y distribución por sexo de la patela bipartita en diferentes poblaciones.

ABSTRACT

Tension band wiring [TBW] is the most common method used to treat displaced transverse patellar fractures. While TBW is very efficient to compress the fracture during knee flexion, it is not that effective during knee extension. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of treatment of transverse patellar fractures with cancellous screws. Twenty patients with displaced transverse patellar fractures were treated by open reduction and fixation by small set cancellous screws. The mean age of patients was 36.6 +/- 1 7.4 years. There were sixteen males. Road traffic accidents accounted for the majority of trauma. The mean time lapse before surgery was 4.5 days. Two screws were used in sixteen, three screws in three and four screws in one patient. The mean time to clinical union was 9 +/- 2.3 weeks while the mean time to radiological union was 13 +/- 3.6 weeks. All Patients completed six months follow up period. Using a modified Hospital for Special Surgery [HSS] knee scoring system, thirteen patients were excellent, five good and two fair results. Patients improved throughout the follow up period. Results were not affected by age, sex, time lapsed before the operation, and the number of screws used. Complications included prominent hardware in one patient, limited range of movements in six patients in which one developed 20° extensor lag. We concluded that the use of cancellous screws in the treatment of transverse patellar fractures yielded satisfactory outcome with low rate of complications in most cases

ABSTRACT

Bipartite patella is usually asymptomatic. Painful bipartite patella is either non-surgically managed by immobilization, anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy or treated by excision. We report a case in whom locally injected bupivacaine and steroid (methylprednisolone acetate) injection relieved the symptoms completely in a case of bilateral painful bipartite patellae.

ABSTRACT

De los hallazgos obtenidos en este estudio podemos concluír que las frecuencias encontradas en cada uno de los defectos de miembros inferiores se encuentran dentro de lo estimado en los reportes mundiales. Se confirma en sexo femenino como factor de riesgo asociado para el desarrollo de alteraciones en cadera. Se recomienda continuar el estudio debido al tamaño reducido de la muestra y al hallazgo de antecedentes de cefalea e ingestión de multivitamínicos como posibles factores de riesgo asociados con las malformaciones en miembros inferiores

ABSTRACT

Se presenta una primera serie de seis casos de adultos con rótula alta y lateral, que fueron operados entre 1993 y 1994, y se describe la técnica de pateloplastía y tenorrafia de descenso y medialización rotuliana. Consiste en reducción por angostamiento del margen lateral de la rótula y tenotomía diagonal del tendón rotuliano, dirigida medial y distalmente así como su sutura con materia absorbible. Se hizo además liberación del vasto externo sobre su borde lateral, sin desinsertarlo de la rótula al estilo Insall. Los resultados han sido uniformemente satisfactorios. Con esta técnica se han eliminado la lateralización de la rótula, su situación elevada y la pérdida de fuerza del músculo cuadríceps. También se ha eliminado el severo dolor que se presenta en otras técnicas de descenso de la inserción del tendón rotuliano, ya que el tendón es poco sensible y muy noble en cuanto a su cicatrización.
