RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) are increasing, posing a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. Due to nonspecific symptoms, a high index of suspicion is crucial. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach, with broad-spectrum antibiotics, early surgical debridement, and life support. This study analyzes the characteristics, demographics, complications, and treatment of NSTI in a hospital in Madrid, Spain. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was conducted, including all surgically treated NSTI patients at our center from January 2016 to December 2022, examining epidemiological and clinical data. The Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (LRINEC) was prospectively calculated for all patients. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients (16 men, 6 women, mean age 54.8) were included. Median time from symptom onset to emergency room visit was 3.5 days. All reported severe treatment-resistant pain; sixteen had fever exceeding 37.8°C (72.7%). Skin lesions occurred in twelve (54.5%), and thirteen had hypotension and tachycardia (59.1%). Treatment involved resuscitative support, antibiotherapy, and radical debridement. Median time to surgery was 8.25h. Intraoperative cultures were positive in twenty patients: twelve Streptococcus pyogenes, four Staphylococcus aureus, one Escherichia coli, and four polymicrobial infection. In-hospital mortality rate was 22.73%. CONCLUSIONS: We examined the correlation between our results, amputation rates and mortality with LRINEC score and time to surgery. However, we found no significant relationship unlike some other studies. Nevertheless, a multidisciplinary approach with radical debridement and antibiotic therapy remains the treatment cornerstone. Our hospital stays, outcomes and mortality rates align with our literature review, confirming high morbimortality despite early and appropriate intervention.
RESUMEN
Objetivos: Resultados clínicos, radiológicos y funcionales de la primera serie española de pacientes intervenidos de artroplastia total de cadera (ATC) asistida mediante brazo robótico Mako® (Stryker) del Hospital Clínico San Carlos (HCSC) de Madrid. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo prospectivo que analiza los primeros 25 pacientes intervenidos de ATC asistida por robot (ATCaR) en el HCSC, con un seguimiento mínimo de 4meses. Se evaluaron la demografía, los estudios de imagen (procesamiento Mako®, Rx y TAC), los parámetros clínicos, la funcionalidad (Harris modificada) y las complicaciones asociadas. Resultados: La edad media fue 67,2años (min 47, max 88), siendo el 56% varones. El 88% corresponden a coxartrosis primaria, el 4% postraumática, el 4% secundaria a NAV y el 4% secundaria a choque femoroacetabular. El tiempo medio de cirugía fue de 116,9minutos (min 92, max 150). La media de las cinco primeras intervenciones fue 122,6minutos, y la de las cinco últimas, de 108,2minutos. Como complicaciones intraoperatorias se cuantificaron 4 pérdidas de marcadores intraoperatorios. El tiempo de ingreso medio fue 4,4días (min 3, max 7), con una disminución de hemoglobina posquirúrgica media de 3,08±1,08g/dl, requiriendo transfusión en el 12% de los casos. Se registran tres complicaciones médicas durante el ingreso, destacando un síndrome confusional con caída y fractura periprotésica AG1 no desplazada. El análisis del posicionamiento de los implantes registrados con sistema Mako® fueron 40,55±1,53 grados de inclinación y 12,2±3,6 grados de anteversión acetabular. El estudio de imagen posquirúrgico realizado a los pacientes, en concordancia con Mako®, muestra valores de inclinación acetabular de 41,2±1,7 en Rx y versión acetabular de 16±4,6 en TAC. La discrepancia de longitud de cadera varía de valores preoperatorios de −3,91mm (DE: 3,9; min −12, max 3) a 1,29mm (DE: 1,96) tras la cirugía registrados con Mako...(AU)
Objectives: Clinical, radiological and functional results of the first Spanish series of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty assisted by Mako® (Stryker) robotic arm at the Hospital Clínico San Carlos (HCSC) in Madrid. Material and methods: Prospective and descriptive study analyzing the first 25 patients who underwent robotic-assisted THA at the HCSC, with a minimum follow-up of 4months. Demographics, imaging studies (Mako® processing, Rx and CT), clinical parameters, functionality (modified Harris) and associated complications were evaluated. Results: Average age was 67.2years (min 47, max 88), being 56% male population sample. 88% involves primary coxarthrosis, 4% post-traumatic coxarthrosis, 4% secondary avascular necrosis and 4% secondary femoroacetabular impingement. Average surgery time was 116.9min (min 92, max 150). The average time of the first five surgeries was 122.6min, and, regarding the last five interventions, it was 108.2min. Found medical intraoperative complications were four intraoperative markers loss. Average admission time was 4.4days (min 3, max 7), with an average postoperative hemoglobin decrease of 3.08±1.08g/dL, requiring a transfusion in 12% of the cases. Three medical complications have been registered in the meantime of the admission, with a relevant case of a confusional syndrome and a fall, which resulted in a non-displaced AG1 periprosthetic fracture. The analysis of the positioning of registered implants with Mako® system shows 40.55±1.53 acetabular inclination degrees and 12.2±3.6 acetabular anteversion degrees. The postoperative image study carried out on patients, are consistent with Mako® s results, as it shows an acetabular inclination of 41.2±1.7 in Rx, as well as acetabular anteversion of 16±4.6 in CT. Hip length variance ranges depending on preoperative values of 3.91mm (SD: 3.9; min −12, max 3) to 1.29mm (SD: 1.96) after surgery registered with...(AU)

Rx simple study results show a postoperative difference between both hips of 0.5±3.08mm, which is consistent with Mako® results. Native femoral offset was stable after surgery with a showing difference both pre and post operative of the intervened hip of 0.1mm (SD: 3.7), registered with Mako®. Preoperatory modified Harris punctuation was 41.6±13.3, improving to postoperative values of 74.6±9.7 after four months since the surgery. No complications were registered in immediate postoperative (4 months). CONCLUSIONS: Total hip arthroplasty robot-assisted achieves an adequate precision and repeatability of the implant positioning and the postoperative hip dysmetry without showing an increase of associated complications to the technique applied. Surgery time, complications and functional results in a short-time period are similar to conventional techniques applied to great series previously published.
