ABSTRACT

Calcaneal fractures are the most common tarsal fractures and their treatment is still debated today. We intend in this update to highlight the points of controversy and clarify the consensus, especially in the treatment of intra-articular fractures, as well as to describe the management of major complications.


Las fracturas de calcáneo son las más frecuentes del tarso y su tratamiento sigue siendo hoy en día objeto de debate. Pretendemos en esta actualización destacar los puntos de controversia, así como clarificar los consensos, especialmente en el tratamiento de las fracturas intraarticulares, así como describir el manejo de las principales complicaciones.

ABSTRACT

Metastases to bone are the most frequent cause of destructive lesions to the skeleton in adults . The tumours that are most likely to metastasize to bone are prostate (32%), breast (22%), kidney (16%), lung and thyroid. The typical distribution of metastatic lesions are to the spine, ribs, pelvis, and proximal limb girdles. The humerus is the second most common site for long bone metastases, behind only the femur in its frequency of involvement . It represents the 20% of all bony metastases. We present a clinical case of an 86 yo woman with a previous diagnosis of myofibroblastic sarcoma of the maxillaris who suffers a pathological fracture of the humeral shaft secondary to metastasis and was misdiagnosed and treated for a typical humeral fracture using and intramedullary pinning (Hackethal technique), producing the progression of the disease within the humeral shaft. Due to the end state of the disease (multiple metastases), we decided to perform a palliative treatment with radiotherapy. This particular case report does confirm that is very important to rule out a malignancy in cases of osteolytic or poorly marginated lesions, particularly in patients older than 40 years of age. Therefore, it is imperative that the treating physician has a rational and effective approach to the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of these patients in order to avoid a malpractice.


Las metástasis del hueso son la causa más frecuente de lesiones destructivas del esqueleto en adultos. Los tumores que tienen más probabilidades de metastatizar a los huesos son próstata (32%), mama (22%), riñón (16%), pulmón y tiroides. La distribución típica de las lesiones metastásicas es a la columna vertebral, las costillas, la pelvis y las cinturas escapular y pélvica. El húmero es el segundo sitio más común para metástasis en huesos largos, sólo detrás del fémur en su frecuencia, representando el 20% de todas las metástasis óseas. Se presenta un caso clínico de una mujer de 86 años con diagnóstico previo de sarcoma miofibroblástico de mandíbula que sufre una fractura patológica de la diáfisis humeral secundaria a metástasis, se diagnosticó erróneamente y se trató como si fuera una fractura normal utilizando pinning intramedular (técnica de Hackethal), produciendo la progresión de la enfermedad dentro de la diáfisis humeral. Debido al estadio final de la enfermedad (metástasis múltiples), decidimos realizar un tratamiento paliativo con radioterapia. Este caso en particular confirma que es muy importante descartar una neoplasia maligna en casos de lesiones osteolíticas o mal delimitadas, particularmente en pacientes mayores de 40 años de edad. Por lo tanto, es imprescindible que el médico tratante tenga un enfoque racional y efectivo para la evaluación diagnóstica y el tratamiento de estos pacientes con el fin de evitar una mala práctica.

ABSTRACT

Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis is an effective salvage procedure in cases of combined ankle and subtalar osteoarthritis as well as severe multiplanar deformities and severe joint destruction of the hindfoot. Special mention should be made of this procedure in cases of bone loss, especially from the talus, secondary to failed previous surgeries or bone infection, often being the only way to achieve a stable and painless foot and ankle. We present a case of ankle fracture in a patient with associated morbidity and multiple complications following osteosynthesis, in which tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis with cemented with antibiotic coated retrograde nail has achieved a satisfactory final result.
