ABSTRACT
La pandemia COVID ha hecho de las consultas telemáticas una herramienta básica en la práctica diaria. El objetivo principal del estudio es valorar los resultados de la aplicación de consultas telemáticas para limitar la movilidad de los pacientes. Son objetivos operativos: proponer un plan de consultas, conocer cómo limita la asistencia a las consultas, definir qué patologías se benefician más con este plan. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se propone un esquema con la creación de consultas previas a las agendadas para valorar idoneidad y posibilidad de realizarla en acto único no presencial. RESULTADOS: Se han realizado 5.619 consultas con una falta de respuesta telefónica del 19%. El 74% de los pacientes fueron resueltos de forma virtual. Existe diferencia entre unidades, siendo más probable la respuesta telefónica para las consultas de unidad, OR = 0,60 o de traumatología general, OR = 0,67 y menos para los derivados desde urgencias. El 20% de las consultas no se acompañaban de pruebas complementarias. Las consultas de traumatología general, OR = 0,34, control postoperatorio, OR = 0,49, y unidades, OR = 0,40, cumplieron mejor este requisito. De los pacientes restantes, las consultas de traumatología general, OR = 0,50, y las derivadas a unidades, OR = 0,54 fueron las que más se resolvieron sin acudir presencialmente. CONCLUSIONES: Se han resuelto de forma no presencial el 74% de los pacientes que atendieron a la llamada telefónica. El 20% de los pacientes acuden a la visita sin pruebas complementarias. Las consultas de seguimiento de osteosíntesis y postoperatorio de cirugía artroscópica son las que más precisan de ser realizadas de forma presencial
The COVID pandemic has made telematic consultations a basic tool in daily practice. AIMS: The main objective of the study is to assess the results of the application of telematic consultations to limit the mobility of patients. The operational objectives are; to propose a consultation plan, to know how attendance limits consultations and to define which pathologies benefit the most from this plan. METHODS: A scheme is proposed with the creation of pre-scheduled clinic to assess suitability and the possibility of carrying them out in a single non face-to-face act. RESULTS: Phone call to 5,619 patients were made with a lack of response of 19%. The cases of 74% of the patients that answered were resolved virtually. There is a difference between units, obtaining a higher answering rate from patients appointed to specific clinic units, OR = 0.60, or to general trauma ones, OR = 0.67. The lowest answering rate was obtained from those derived from the emergency department. Twenty per cent of the consultations were not accompanied by complementary tests that would have favored the resolution in a single act. The general trauma consultations, OR = 0.34, postoperative control, OR = 0.49, and specific unit ones, OR = 0.40, were the ones that better met this requirement. Out of the remaining patients, the general trauma consultations, OR = 0.50, and those referred to units, OR = 0.54, were the ones that had a higher resolution rate without in- person consultation. CONCLUSIONS: The cases of 74% of the patients who answered the phone call were resolved virtually. Cases of 20% of the patients cannot be solved in a single act because they are derived without complementary tests. Osteosynthesis and postoperative arthroscopic follow-up consultations are the ones that need to be carried out in person the most

Objetivo: Analizar el efecto de la proteína BMP-7 en el tratamiento de los defectos óseos con transporte óseo. Pacientes y metodología: Efectuamos un estudio prospectivo aleatorizado de 29 pacientes con defectos óseos segmentarios (DOS), en tibia, tratados mediante transporte óseo con fijador externo monolateral. La media de edad fue 33 años con predominio del sexo masculino (26 pacientes) y una media de seguimiento de 24 meses. En 15 casos se utilizó en la zona de compresión aporte de injerto autólogo de cresta ilíaca (grupo control) y en los 14 restantes se añadió proteína morfogenética ósea (BMP-7) (grupo de estudio). Los criterios de exclusión para este segundo grupo fueron hipersensibilidad conocida al colágeno o al principio activo, enfermedad autoinmunitaria conocida y pacientes en tratamiento con quimioterapia o radioterapia. Resultados: A los 7 meses en el grupo control se consiguió la consolidación en 13 casos (86,6%), mientras que en el grupo de estudio se obtuvo la consolidación en 12 pacientes (85,6%). El estudio demostró resultados clínicos equivalentes en los dos grupos y tasas de eficacia globales comparables para el autoinjerto y para la BMP-7. Conclusiones: el uso de Osigraft® en la zona de compresión del transporte estimula la consolidación de la misma manera que el aporte de injerto óseo autólogo, pero evita la morbilidad que supone su obtención de la cresta ilíaca (AU)
Objective: To analyze the effect of BMP-7 in the treatment of bone defects with osseous transport. Treatment and methodology: We performed a prospective, randomized trial of 29 patients with segmental bone defects of the tibia treated through bone transport with monolateral external fixator. The mean age was 33 years with a predominance of men (26 patients) and a mean follow-up of 24 months. Autologous iliac crest bone graft was used in the compression area in 15 patients (control group) while BMP-7 was added in the 14 remaining patients (study group). Exclusion criteria for this second group was known hypersensitivity to collagen or the active ingredient, known autoimmune disease and treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Results: At 7 months, bone consolidation was achieved in 13 patients (86.6%) in the control group and in 12 patients (85.6%) in the study group. Clinically equivalent results were found in the two groups and overall efficacy rates were comparable for autograft and BMP-7. Conclusion: The use of Osigraft® in the compression area stimulates similar bone consolidation to the use of autologous bone grafting but avoids the morbidity associated with iliac crest bone harvesting (AU)

A study of the distraction callus in the femur of the growing rabbit was performed. Thirty animals separated into 10 groups were used. Distraction between both ends of a femoral osteotomy induced the formation of a connective callus which subsequently ossified. This callus disappeared between the fourth and the eighth week after the lengthening was completed. The osteogenesis model was of a mixed type, intramembranous and endochondral, with a predominance of the former. The bone healing and the initial signs of remodeling in the newly formed bony tissue were seen at the end of the first week of distraction. The original cortex was resorbed during the lengthening and was progressively substituted by a new cortex, whose formation and remodeling was not finished 24 weeks after the completion of the distraction. Experimental conditions could explain some of the findings.
