RESUMO

Correction of the varus deformities in the tibia is necessary because of the excessive pressure exerted on the medial compartment of the knee, which intensifies the degenerative process. Correction strategies encompass a variety of approaches and depend on the patient's individual characteristics, age, soft tissue condition, and the orthopaedic surgeon's experience with different surgical materials. Size and location of the deformity, whether gradual or acute, play crucial roles in choosing the most appropriate material and shape. The gradual correction is especially indicated for patients with severe deformities, soft tissue involvement, and a history of bone infections. This study aimed to introduce a gradual correction technique for varus deformities in the tibia using a unilateral external fixator and to describe the postoperative follow-up. This technique offers notable advantages, including accurate correction, better patient acceptance, lighter assembly, less risk of pseudarthrosis, and shorter distraction process owing to the use of a single piece. In addition, the operated limb can support the load on the day after surgery, and dynamic follow-up is performed on an outpatient basis.

RESUMO

The valgus deformity in the tibia requires correction because it places increased pressure on the lateral compartment of the knee, intensifying the degenerative process. Correction strategies are diverse and depend on patient profile, age, and soft-tissue conditions as well as the orthopaedic surgeon's experience with different surgical materials. Deformity size and location are the primary factors contributing to material and shape choice, whether gradual or acute. The only gradual correction approach involves the use of a monolateral or circular external fixator. This is the only indication for correction in cases of excellent deformity, soft-tissue involvement, and a history of bone infection. This study aimed to present a gradual correction technique for tibial valgus deformity using a monolateral external fixator as well as its postoperative follow-up. This technique has the advantages of greater patient acceptance, lighter assembly, and briefer distraction owing to the use of a single piece as well as the ability of the operated limb to bear a load the day after the surgical procedure and dynamic outpatient follow-up.

RESUMO

Objectives To evaluate the factors that influence the outcome of osteosynthesis after closed reduction of the fracture of the femoral neck in young adult patients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted, reviewing the data of patients operated in a large orthopedic hospital from 2003 to 2011; a total of 81 patients met the inclusion criteria. The time interval between the fracture and the surgery, the initial fracture deviation, the quality of the reduction, and the placement of the implant were evaluated. Results The present study observed a strong relationship between the quality of the reduction and therapeutic success. The degree of the initial deviation and the time elapsed between the initial trauma and the osteosynthesis did not influence the surgical outcome regarding bone consolidation. The correct positioning of the implants was associated with a satisfactory evolution in the postoperative period. Conclusion The quality of the reduction and the positioning of the implants are factors that influence the results of osteosynthesis in fractures of the femoral neck in young adult patients.

Resumo Objetivos Avaliar os fatores que influenciam o resultado da osteossíntese pela redução fechada da fratura do colo femoral nos pacientes jovens. Métodos Foi feito um estudo retrospectivo com revisão dos dados dos pacientes operados em um hospital ortopédico de grande porte, de 2003 a 2011, com um total de 81 pacientes que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. O intervalo de tempo entre a fratura e a cirurgia, o desvio inicial da fratura, a qualidade da redução e o posicionamento dos implantes foram os fatores avaliados. Resultados O estudo encontrou forte relação entre a qualidade da redução e o sucesso terapêutico. O grau de desvio inicial e o tempo entre o trauma inicial e a osteossíntese não influenciaramo desfecho cirúrgico emrelação à consolidação óssea. O correto posicionamento dos implantes mostrou relação com a evolução satisfatória no pós-operatório dos pacientes.

RESUMO

This study aims to evaluate the presence of arthropathy in the large peripheral joints most commonly affected in acromegaly and to classify the severity according to the functional assessment of each joint to identify any factor that could predict the development of arthropathy and its level of severity. Seventy-one acromegalic patients were interviewed and underwent a physical examination of the knees, hips, and shoulders to identify the presence of arthropathy. The disease was functionally classified as more severe or less severe, according to a specific functional scale. We studied 21 males (29.5%) and 50 females (70.5%) with a mean age of 49.5 ± 14.5 years. Arthropathy in the studied joints was observed in 40 patients (prevalence of 56%), and a statistically significant association with the presence of arthropathy was observed for three of the evaluated factors: increased body mass index (BMI), older age at diagnosis of acromegaly, and female gender. There was no association with disease control or other factors related to acromegaly. We classified 19 patients as having more functionally severe arthropathy and identified two factors associated with its development: increased BMI and lower levels of insulin-like growth factor type I. The relationship of factors such as female sex and BMI, which are also related to osteoarthritis, with arthropathy in acromegalic patients suggested a high prevalence of irreversible joint disease present at diagnosis of acromegaly. We highlight the BMI, which was associated with either the presence of arthropathy or more severe arthropathy, which demonstrates the importance of body weight control in the management of acromegalic patients.
