ABSTRACT
Trans-scaphoid perilunate fractures-dislocations are rare injuries caused by high-energy trauma of the wrist. Diagnosis is based on medical history, physical examination, and tools such as radiographs, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging. Early treatment consists of closed reduction and casting to stabilize the limb. Definitive treatment is surgical and includes bone and soft tissue repair. A case of trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation is presented, along with diagnosis, management and outcome.
Las fracturas-luxaciones transescafo-perilunares son lesiones infrecuentes causadas por impactos de alta energía hacia la muñeca. El diagnóstico se basa en la historia clínica, exploración física y herramientas como la radiografía, la tomografía computarizada y la resonancia magnética. El manejo inmediato consiste en una reducción cerrada e inmovilización para estabilizar la extremidad. El tratamiento definitivo es de carácter quirúrgico e incluye la reparación ósea y de tejidos blandos. Se presenta un caso de fractura-luxación transescafo-perilunar, su diagnóstico, manejo y evolución.

Abstract Objective This study evaluated the epidemiological data and functional outcomes from patients with concomitant distal radial and scaphoid fractures treated in a single center specialized in hand surgery. Functional outcomes analysis used validated instruments. Methods Patients diagnosed with distal radial and scaphoid fractures treated from January 2011 to December 2021 underwent assessments using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, goniometry, radiographic consolidation, and complications six months after surgery. Results The study included 23 patients, 73.9% men and 26.1% women. Most (56.5%) fractures occurred on the right side, and 43.5% happened on the left side. Treatment of most (56%) distal radial fractures used a locked volar plate. Functional assessment by PRWE resulted in a mean score of 35.9 points (range, 14 to 71 points), while DASH showed a mean score of 37.8 points (range, 12 to 78 points). The mean VAS was 2.33 during activities (range, 0.6 to 6.2). Conclusion Distal radial fractures associated with scaphoid fractures resulted from high-energy trauma, and most patients were males. There was a low rate of complications with surgical treatment, and the patients had satisfactory functional evolution with a low level of pain.
Resumo Objetivo Avaliar os resultados epidemiológicos e funcionais dos pacientes que apresentaram fraturas concomitantes do rádio distal e do escafoide e foram tratados em um único centro especializado em cirurgia da mão, através de instrumentos validados para analisar os desfechos funcionais desses pacientes. Métodos Foram avaliados os pacientes com diagnóstico de fratura do rádio distal e escafoide tratados de janeiro de 2011 até dezembro de 2021, através dos questionários Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) e Escala Visual Analógica da dor (EVA); goniometria; consolidação radiográfica; complicações em seis meses de pós-operatório. Resultados Vinte e três pacientes foram incluídos no estudo, sendo 73,9% homens e 26,1% mulheres; 56,5% das fraturas ocorreram à direita e 43,5% à esquerda. A maioria das fraturas do rádio distal foi tratada com placa volar bloqueada, totalizando 56%. Na avaliação funcional pelo PRWE, obteve-se média de 35,9 pontos (variação de 14 a 71 pontos) e pelo DASH média de 37,8 pontos (variação de 12 a 78 pontos). A EVA apresentou uma média de 2,33 durante a atividade (variação de 0,6 a 6,2). Conclusão Verificou-se que as fraturas do rádio distal associadas a fraturas do escafoide foram causadas por traumas de alta energia, com o sexo masculino mais acometido. Houve baixo índice de complicações com tratamento cirúrgico e os pacientes tiveram evolução funcional satisfatória, com baixo índice de dor.

Scaphoid fractures are a common wrist injury accounting for 2-7% of all adult fractures. Nonunion is described in 5-12% of cases leading to osteoarthritis. Several classifications have been developed focused on this pathology and its complication. We present a case of a 28 years old male patient with a scaphoid fracture and nonunion who spontaneously consolidates without treatment. We performed a literature review to recognize this pathology, its common evolution and possible treatment options.
Las fracturas de escafoides son una lesión frecuente de la muñeca y representan de 2-7% de todas las fracturas en adultos. La no unión se describe en 5-12% de los casos y conduce a la osteoartritis. Se han desarrollado varias clasificaciones centradas en esta patología y su complicación. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 28 años con fractura y no unión de escafoides que consolida espontáneamente sin tratamiento. Realizamos una revisión bibliográfica para reconocer esta patología, su evolución habitual y las posibles opciones de tratamiento.

Semilunate and perilunate dislocation is an injury that mostly occurs when the subject is exposed to a high-energy trauma. Considered severe, it compromises the stability and function of the wrist. The case presented is that of a 50-year-old male patient who after having a motorcycle accident arrived at the ER with neurovascular affectation, swelling, deformity and a considerable decrease of the wrist joint movement. He was also referring severe pain. A Henry (Volar) intervention was done with the help of external fixation of the lunate, followed by K-wire fixation, once a prior closed reduction was unsuccessfully attempted. The scaphoid was connected to the semilunate, and then the latter with the capitate. Ligament reconstruction followed, and stability was clinically confirmed with an X-ray. Although improvement of symptomatology was observed during the follow-up analysis, motion of the wrist remained limited. Even with the best treatment, in terms of functionality, this type of injury presents a poor prognosis.
La luxación semilunar y perilunar es una lesión que se produce principalmente cuando el sujeto está expuesto a un traumatismo de alta energía. Considerada grave, compromete la estabilidad y la función de la muñeca. El caso presentado es el de un paciente varón de 50 años que tras sufrir un accidente de motocicleta llegó a urgencias con afectación neurovascular, tumefacción, deformidad y una considerable disminución del movimiento articular de la muñeca. También refería fuertes dolores. Se realizó una intervención de Henry (Volar) con la ayuda de fijación externa del lunar, seguida de fijación con agujas de Kirschner, una vez que se había intentado sin éxito una reducción cerrada previa. El escafoides se conectó con el semilunar y luego éste con el capitado. A continuación se reconstruyó el ligamento y se confirmó clínicamente la estabilidad con una radiografía. Aunque se observó una mejora de la sintomatología durante el análisis de seguimiento, el movimiento de la muñeca seguía siendo limitado. Incluso con el mejor tratamiento, en términos de funcionalidad, este tipo de lesión presenta un mal pronóstico.

Nonunion remains one of the main complications of scaphoid fractures, with no consensus being reached as to the best surgical technique for scaphoid pseudoarthrosis. Thus, different types of procedures for bone stability and biological stimulus for consolidation have been described. The use of arthroscopy for scaphoid pseudoarthrosis has advantages as it allows for treating associated injuries, preserving wrist proprioception by minimizing damage to the joint capsule and ligaments and not deteriorating the already fragile scaphoid vasculature, leading to a quick recovery. Arthroscopy was initially indicated for stable scaphoid pseudoarthroses, being used in all patterns of this condition, including unstable ones and those with flexion collapse. However, most scientific articles describe the use of arthroscopy only through the dorsal portals, creating technical difficulty in complete debridement of the site of pseudarthrosis and in placing bone graft. This study describes the 360-degree technique, which standardizes arthroscopy in scaphoid pseudoarthrosis treatment, allowing, with the use of dorsal, volar, and radial portals, direct approach to the entire circumference of the nonunion site, facilitating the debridement of the injury site, the correction of the scaphoid deformity, and the placement of a graft directly on the site of the defect, mainly in its volar region after correction of the flexion deformity. The 360-degree technique aims to help and standardize the arthroscopic procedure for scaphoid pseudarthrosis, creating a routine with defined surgery stages. Additional portals allow complete access to the entire nonunion site and better positioning of the bone graft under direct view.

INTRODUCTION: dislocations of carpal bones without associated fractures are considered a rare injury, the most common mechanism of injury being axial loading with wrist in extension plus ulnar deviation. The literature reports a wide variety of complex carpal injuries, even so, it is possible to identify previously undescribed injuries. OBJECTIVE: to present an atypical case of a patient with an injury to the midcarpal stabilizing mechanism and the stabilizing mechanism of the proximal row of the wrist following trauma to the hand that required carpectomy as definitive surgical treatment. PRESENTATION OF CASE: a 48 year old male patient is presented who is admitted to our hospital unit after presenting injury to the left hand after being run over by a motor vehicle, with axial load mechanism, presenting deformity in the left thoracic extremity, fracture of the proximal metaphysis of the second phalanx of the third finger as well as dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint, with traumatic amputation of the second phalanx of the fourth finger plus extensor injury in zone V of the fifth finger with loss of skin coverage of the fourth and fifth finger, attending our hospital unit 24 hours after the injury. CONCLUSIONS: carpal bone dislocations are an orthopedic emergency, with 20% going unnoticed in trauma centers. Early closed reduction is the initial treatment to avoid severe complications, however, surgical treatment is the gold standard for fixation. Carpectomy is considered a mostly adequate sequelae management treatment, however it is well accepted for complex injuries to the wrist stabilization mechanisms, as it can be performed in a short surgical time and early rehabilitation can be initiated and functional ranges of motion can be achieved with low sequelae.
INTRODUCCIÓN: las luxaciones de los huesos del carpo sin presentar fracturas asociadas se considera una lesión infrecuente; el mecanismo de lesión más común es la carga axial con muñeca en extensión más desviación cubital. La literatura reporta una gran variedad de lesiones complejas del carpo; aun así, es posible identificar lesiones no descritas previamente. OBJETIVO: presentar caso atípico de paciente con lesión a nivel del mecanismo estabilizador medio-carpiana y estabilizador de la fila proximal de la muñeca posterior a traumatismo en mano que requirió carpectomía como tratamiento quirúrgico definitivo. PRESENTACIÓN DEL CASO: paciente masculino de 48 años de edad, quien ingresa a nuestra unidad hospitalaria tras sufrir lesión en mano izquierda posterior a ser arrollado por vehículo automotor, con mecanismo de carga axial, presentando en extremidad torácica izquierda deformidad hacia volar, fractura de metáfisis proximal de segunda falange del tercer dedo así como luxación de articulación interfalángica proximal, con amputación traumática de segunda falange del cuarto dedo más lesión extensora en zona V del quinto dedo con pérdida de cobertura cutánea del cuarto y quinto dedos. Acude a nuestra unidad hospitalaria 24 horas después de la lesión. CONCLUSIONES: las luxaciones en huesos del carpo es una urgencia ortopédica, pasando desapercibidas en 20% en centros de traumatología. La reducción cerrada temprana es el tratamiento inicial para evitar complicaciones severas; sin embargo, el tratamiento quirúrgico es el estándar de oro para la fijación de las mismas. La carpectomía se considera un tratamiento mayoritariamente para el manejo adecuado de secuelas; sin embargo, es bien aceptado para las lesiones complejas que se presentan en los mecanismos estabilizadores de la muñeca, dado a que se puede realizar en un tiempo quirúrgico y se puede iniciar una rehabilitación temprana, con lo que se pueden alcanzar rangos de movimientos funcionales y con bajo grado de secuelas.

La asociación entre fractura de radio distal y fractura de escafoides es una asociación infrecuente, en la presentación inicial, pasa inadvertida muchas veces la fractura a nivel de escafoides. El diagnóstico precoz nos permite un correcto tratamiento evitando posibles complicaciones en la evolución. Se presenta el caso de un adolescente de 14 años con dicha asociación lesional. Se le realizó reducción cerrada y fijación percutánea con alambres de Kirschner a nivel del radio distal y se trató la fractura de escafoides, de forma ortopédica, con yeso antebraquipalmar con inclusión del primer dedo. Se obtuvo la consolidación de ambos focos con excelentes resultados clínicos.
The association between distal radius fracture and scaphoid fracture is a rare association, in many cases the scaphoid fracture can be overlooked at the initial presentation. The early diagnosis allows a correct treatment avoiding possible complications in the follow-up. The case of a 14-year-old teenager with this association is presented. Closed reduction and percutaneous fixation was performed with Kirschner Wires at distal radius fracture, the scaphoid fracture was treated orthopedically with short-arm thumb spica cast. Consolidation of both fractures was obtained with excellent clinical results.

Resumen: Las lesiones por el colapso escafosemilunar avanzado y el colapso avanzado por seudoartrosis del escafoides son consecuencia de un traumatismo que origina la fractura de escafoides y la consecuente seudoartrosis, resultando en una cinemática anormal de la muñeca y en una lesión de ligamento escafosemilunar, respectivamente. Las opciones quirúrgicas actuales para el tratamiento incluyen artrodesis parcial y carpectomía de la línea proximal del carpo. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, transversal y descriptivo en el período comprendido de Enero de 2010 a Diciembre de 2015. Se estudiaron 52 pacientes operados con artrodesis de cuatro esquinas y 19 pacientes manejados con carpectomía. Resultados: Del total de 71 pacientes, 62 fueron masculinos y nueve femeninos. Para el procedimiento de carpectomías, fueron 14 varones y cinco mujeres, para los pacientes con artrodesis de cuatro esquinas se incluyeron 48 masculinos y cuatro femeninos. Se identificaron 48 pacientes con colapso avanzado por seudoartrosis del escafoides y 23 pacientes con colapso escafosemilunar avanzado. Se realizaron 19 carpectomías y 52 artrodesis de cuatro esquinas del total de pacientes, 65 de ellos cursaron sin ninguna complicación, tres pacientes con retardo de la consolidación, dos con dolor residual, y uno con proceso infeccioso superficial. Discusión: La técnica de artrodesis de cuatro esquinas implica mayor tiempo de cirugía y de costos en relación con la carpectomía; sin embargo, la artrodesis tiene una reincorporación más rápida al trabajo con mejoría del dolor con respecto a la carpectomía; la decisión final en nuestra institución dependerá del caso y de la actividad del paciente.
Abstract: Advanced scafosemilunar collapse (SLAC) and advanced scaphoid pseudoarthrosis (SNAC) collapse are the result of trauma causing scaphoid fracture and the consequent pseudoarthrosis resulting in abnormal kinematics of the wrist and a scapholunate ligament injury, respectively. Current surgical options for SLAC/SNAC treatment include partial arthrodesis, carpal proximal row resection. Material and methods: Retrospective, cross-cutting and descriptive study was carried out in the period from January 2010 to December 2015. 52 patients operated on with 4-cornered arthrodesis and 19 patients with carpectomy were studied. Results: 71 patients, 62 male patients and 9 female patients were analysed. For the carpectomy procedure were 5 female patients, for patients with four-corner arthrodesis 48 male patient and 4 female patient were included. 48 patients with SNAC and 23 patients with SLAC were identified. 19 carpectomies and 52 arthrodesis of four corners of the total patients 65 of them were carried without any complications, 3 patients with delay of consolidation two with residual pain, and one with superficial infectious process. Discussion: The four-corner arthrodesis technique involves longer surgery and costs in relation to carpectomy, however arthrodesis has a faster return to pain-improvement work with respect to carpectomy; the final decision will depend on the case, the patient's activity.

Introducción: Nuestro propósito de realizar este trabajo retrospectivo fue determinar la función y los resultados objetivos de los pacientes con lesiones escafolunar mediante la Capsulodesis dorsal artroscópica tipo Mathoulin modificada. Material y Métodos: Evaluamos 12 pacientes con lesión del ligamento escafolunar, mediante la clasificación de Geissler ,EWAS y García Elías. Se evaluaron 9 hombres y 3 mujeres. El 100 % en edad laboral. El tiempo de seguimiento post operatorio fue de 7,8 meses (4-12 meses). Tres de los pacientes fueron tratados de forma aguda (hasta los 2 meses de dolor o inestabilidad) y 9 pacientes de forma crónica (más de 3 meses de dolor o inestabilidad). Todos los pacientes tenían dolor escafolunar dorsal y test de Watson positivo. Todas las lesiones fueron reparadas con la técnica artroscópica de Capsulodesis Dorsal de Mathoulin modificada. Se evaluó el Rango de Movilidad (ROM), fuerza de agarre, score Mayo de Muñeca y el DASH Score. Resultados: Hemos tenido mejoras en test del dolor y la fuerza, el ROM promedio fue 71° para la extensión, 65° de flexión, 25° para la desviación radial y 25° de desviación cubital. El Score de muñeca de mayo fue excelente en el 75%, Bueno en el 16,6%, Satisfactorio en el 8,33% y no hemos tenido malos resultados. Con respecto al Dash Score, el promedio en el pre operatorio fue de 81,5 puntos y en el Post operatorio a la fecha de 4,5 puntos. El promedio de la fuerza comparativa contralateral fue del 84%. Discusión: Mathoulin propone para evitar la rigidez y estabilizar el ligamento la Capsulodesis dorsal artroscópica, con la cual obtiene mejoría del dolor y movilidad satisfactoria por poco daño capsular en lesiones de García Elías 2,3 y 4 crónicas, basado en los estudios de Gajendran, Deshmukh, Brunelli y zarkadas sobre capsulodesis dorsal, donde obtuvieron rangos de movilidad menores a los pre quirúrgicos por el daño capsular creado, y evolucionaron a la artrosis en menos de 5 años por avance de lesión SLAC. Conclusión: La reparación artroscópica de las lesiones escafolunares Geissler I a IV, EWAS I a IIIc Y GARCIA ELIAS I a III dan resultados satisfactorios mejorando los ROM, recuperando la fuerza de forma total o parcial y disminuyendo el dolor en alto porcentaje. Encontramos que el tiempo entre la cirugía y los resultados obtenidos influye en los resultados y cuanto mayor es el seguimiento mejor los resultados. Tipo de estudio: Serie de casos. Nivel de evidencia: IV
Objective: Our purpose of performing this retrospective work was to determine the function and objective results of patients with scapholunate lesions by modified arthroscopic dorsal type Mathoulin capsule. Methods: We evaluated 12 patients with scapholunate ligament injury, using the classification of Geissler, EWAS and García Elías. Nine men and 3 women were evaluated. 100% working age. The post-operative follow-up time was 7.8 months (4-12 months). Three of the patients were treated acutely (up to 2 months of pain or instability) and 9 patients were chronically (more than 3 months of pain or instability). All patients had dorsal scapholunate pain and a positive Watson test. All lesions were repaired with the modified arthroscopic technique of Dorsal Capsulodesis of Mathoulin. The Mobility Range (ROM), grip strength, May Wrist score and the DASH Score were evaluated. Results: We have had improvements in pain and strength tests, the average ROM was 71° for extension, 65 ° for flexion, 25 ° for radial deviation and 25 ° for ulnar deviation. The Wrist Score of May was excellent at 75%, Good at 16.6%, Satisfactory at 8.33% and we have not had bad results. With respect to the Dash Score, the average in the pre-operative was 81.5 points and in the Post-operative to the date of 4.5 points. The average of the contralateral comparative force was 84%. Discussion: Mathoulin proposes to avoid stiffness and stabilize the ligament arthroscopic dorsal Capsulodesis, with which it obtains pain improvement and satisfactory mobility for little capsular damage in García Elías 2,3 and 4 chronic lesions based on the studies of Gajendran, Deshmukh , Brunelli and zarkadas on dorsal Capsulodesis where they obtained lower mobility ranges than the pre-surgical ones due to the capsular damage created and evolved to osteoarthritis in less than 5 years due to progression of the SLAC lesion (one). Conclusion: The arthroscopic repair of scapholunate lesions Geissler I to IV, EWAS I to IIIc and GARCIA ELIAS I to III give satisfactory results improving the ROM, recovering the strength totally or partially and decreasing the pain in high percentage. We found that the time between surgery and the results obtained influences the results and the greater the follow-up the better the results. Type of study: Number of cases. Level of evidence: IV

Introduction: today, the management of the pseudoarthrosis of the scaphoid remains controversial, with a failure rate of up to 40%, and absence of a gold standard. Taking the novel concepts of the potential of the cells found in scaphoid nonunion and osteogenic capacity, and the encouraging results from the effects of increased vascularization by the metaphyseal decompression of the radius and ulna for the treatment of Kienbõcks disease and the advantages of minimal surgical trauma of percutaneous and arthroscopic techniques, is that hypothesized prospectively performed arthroscopic treatment of scaphoid nonunions without bone graft. [A. t. S. NU. W. BG] Material and Methods: Were evaluated retrospectively, 38 scaphoid nonunions treated prospectively by A. t. S. NU. W. BG. The mean age was 30.81 years. The right side was affected in 24 cases, and in 78.9% of cases was the dominant member. The average time from the injury to surgery was 21.43 months. According to the peri-operative studies, all patients were grouped according to the classification of Slade and Dodds. Results: Bone healing was obtained in 35 cases. Three was not obtained, after 8 months of development and required a new surgical procedure. In cystic nonunion, bone defect was filled with new bone growth, even in cases where the cyst exceeded 10 mm. The SPECT demonstrated in those cases made, a common unique pattern, documenting, to some extent, the biological effect of the metaphyseal decompression characterized by increased nonspecific irrigation on the radial side column, and the posible release of various inducing factors osteoblastic unidentified. The visual analog scale showed an average of 1.04 (0-2) postoperative pain. The average postoperative functional range was:...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of olecranon bone graft and compression screw for the treatment of nonunion of the Lichtman type I scaphoid. METHOD: We evaluated 15 patients of 32 who underwent surgical treatment for nonunion of the Lichtman type I scaphoid with olecranon bone graft and screw compression. RESULTS: We obtained 100% consolidation in our sample. The mean flexion of the wrist on the affected side was 68° and 75° on the non-affected side. The average extension was 63° and 72°, respectively. The average grip strength was 35 kgf. This corresponds to 98% of the handgrip strength of the non-affected side, which was 37 kgf. The DASH score averaged 5 points. CONCLUSION: We believe that the use of bone graft obtained from the olecranon and secured with cannulated screw is a resolute technique for cases of linear nonunion of the Lichtmann type I scaphoid. It has the advantages of a new anesthesia for removal of the graft and the access is easy, providing a good exposure for removal and good aesthetic results. Level of evidence IV. Case series

The smooth functioning of the hand plays a key role for the development of human life. In modern society, injuries at this level, despite their low incidence, are a frequent cause of disability. A white male patient, aged 38 is presented here. He was assisted after a high-energy trauma, forced high wrist hyperflexion. An isolated dislocation of the scaphoid was diagnosed, which is reduced under anesthesia using the image intensifier. It is immobilized with brachial splint, taking first finger for six weeks and then rehabilitation process.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the radiographic and functional outcomes of 2 surgical techniques for treating scaphoid nonunion. DESIGN: Randomized prospective study. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: Researchers assessed the outcomes every 2 weeks until bone healing and at discharge. INTERVENTIONS: (1) Vascularized bone grafting (VBG) using the 1, 2 intercompartmental suprareticular artery and (2) a distal radius nonvascularized bone graft. MAIN OUTCOMES/INTERVENTIONS: Time to union (primary), union rate, and functional outcomes. RESULTS: Seventy-five patients were followed for 29 months; 2 were lost to final follow-up. Both groups had similar baseline characteristics. The VBG group reached bone union earlier by 12 days (P = 0.002), but union rates were similar (P = 0.312). There was also less ulnar deviation in the VBG group (P = 0.03). There were no other differences between either intervention groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although the VBG group attained earlier union, this may not be clinically meaningful, nor justify the greater technical difficulty and use of resources associated with this intervention. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level II. See instructions for authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Introducción: la fractura de escafoides es la más frecuente entre las fracturas del carpo. Su tratamiento puede ser conservador o quirúrgico. Este último ofrece una gama de opciones: la reducción abierta y la fijación interna, la osteosíntesis percutánea y la osteosíntesis percutánea bajo asistencia artroscópica. La asociación de lesiones ligamentarias intracarpianas detectadas en la artroscopía es frecuente. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en analizar una serie de casos, procurando determinar si dichas lesiones diagnosticadas mediante asistencia artroscópica son responsables de una evolución subóptima cuando no son tratadas. Materiales y Métodos: se evaluaron 71 pacientes con fracturas de escafoides tratados mediante osteosíntesis percutánea. Cuarenta y cuatro cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Se compararon de forma retrospectiva 2 grupos tratados mediante osteosíntesis percutánea con asistencia artroscópica y sin ella. Resultados: los pacientes tratados mediante asistencia artroscópica tuvieron un mayor porcentaje de resultados funcionales más satisfactorios que los tratados sin asistencia artroscópica, expresado por un resultado estadísticamente significativo (p < 0,05). Discusión: hay muchos casos de fracturas de escafoides tratados adecuadamente mediante osteosíntesis que determinan una muñeca dolorosa con radiografía normal. No se ha determinado hasta el momento si las lesiones ligamentarias asociadas a estas fracturas determinen una evolución menos favorable cuando no son tratadas precozmente. A pesar del número poblacional reducido del grupo control, se identificó que la mejor evolución en el grupo tratado mediante asistencia artroscópica representa una diferencia estadísticamente significativa. Conclusión: el diagnóstico oportuno y el tratamiento temprano de...
Background: scaphoid fracture is the most common among carpal fractures. Treatment may be conservative or surgical, that offers a range of options: open reduction and internal fixation, percutaneous osteosynthesis and percutaneous fixation under arthroscopic assistance. The association of intracarpal ligament injuries detected by arthroscopy is common. The aim of this study is to analyze a series of cases to determine whether these lesions diagnosed by arthroscopic assistance are responsible for a suboptimal evolution when untreated. Materials and Methods: we evaluated 71 patients with scaphoid fractures treated by percutaneous osteosynthesis. Forty four met the inclusion criteria. We compared retrospectively two groups treated by percutaneous osteosynthesis with and without arthroscopic assistance. Results: patients treated with arthroscopic assistance had a greater percentage of satisfactory functional outcomes than those treated without arthroscopic assistance, expressed by a statistically significant result ( p < 0,05 ). Discussion: there are many cases of scaphoid fractures treated properly by osteosynthesis than determine a painful wrist with normal radiograph. It has not been determined so far if ligament injuries associated with these fractures determine a less favorable prognosis if not treated early. Despite the small population size of the control group, it was found that the improved performance in the group treated with arthroscopic assistance represents a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: early diagnosis and early treatment of intracarpal ligament injuries associated with scaphoid fractures using arthroscopic assistance establish a more favorable clinical outcome in the medium term. Study Design: Comparative Retrospective. Level of evidence: III.
