Abstract: Introduction: It is essential that orthopaedic resident physicians be highly proficient in all aspects, considering the balance between supply, demand, need and context. Fundamental to identify the capacity and quality installed for their training in Mexico. Material and methods: Observational Study, transverse, non-probabilistic sampling-conglomerates, in two phases. The instrument has 8 domains, 57 variables and 4,867 items. 60 graduate professors of 20 states, 50 hospital sites, 22 university programs. Results: 1,038 years of experience (collective intelligence), 17 years of experience/teacher (01 to 50 years). Identified: acute pathology 30 (2 to 90%), chronic pathology 30 (5 to 96%), patients ˂ 15 years, 10 (3 to 30%), patients between 15 and 65 years, 47 (2 to 78%), patients ˃ 65 years, 20 (2 to 60%), number of beds/seat 20 (2 to 510), number of clinics 3 (1 to 48), number of surgical procedures/headquarters per year at the national level, was 960 (50 to 24,650). The national average per resident doctor is 362 surgeries/year with 1,450 surgical times/year. Conclusions: The needs and resources for the training of physicians specializing in orthopedics/traumatology are highly heterogeneous, so it should be adapted to the epidemiological needs of the region of influence, in an area of epidemiological transition. 62.2% expressed not having or have bad academic and scientific infrastructure at its headquarters, more than 50% without rotation overseas and ˃ 90% without regular scientific production.

Funcionalidad y estabilidad del tratamiento de la fractura de tobillo B de Weber con lesión deltoidea a nivel sindesmal dependiendo del nivel de colocación del tornillo transindesmal (2. 0 o 3. 5 cm) / Functionality and stability of the treatment of Weber B ankle fractures with syndesmotic injury depending on the placement level of the screw (2. 0 versus 3. 5 cm)

Resumen: Introducción: La fractura del tobillo es una de las lesiones más frecuentes del sistema musculoesquelético; existen estudios de población que reportan un aumento en la incidencia de estas fracturas a partir de los años 70 asociado al incremento en la difusión a través de los medios de las actividades deportivas de contacto. Las fracturas trans- y suprasindesmales afectan la sindesmosis y, de no tratarse adecuadamente, dejarán inestabilidad articular. El tratamiento más común es la colocación de un tornillo; existe controversia en la altura a la que este se debe colocar con respecto a la línea articular tibioastragalina. Material y método: Estudio descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo y transversal de expedientes clínicos y radiográficos de pacientes operados de fractura bimaleolar; se les dividió en dos grupos: aquellos con el tornillo transindesmal a 2 o 2.5 cm y aquellos con el tornillo a 3.5 cm o más proximal. Se recolectaron 34 casos en total (grupo A: 16 pacientes; grupo B: 18), 22 del sexo masculino y 12 del femenino, de edades entre 19 y 45 años. Resultados: Se aplicó la escala funcional de Olerud-Molander y se midió el claro medial del tobillo para considerar el grado de reducción de la sindesmosis. Se compararon los resultados de ambos grupos. Discusión: El sitio de localización del tornillo de situación a 2.0 cm presentó un porcentaje de 75% de estabilidad articular y 25% de inestabilidad articular, la funcionalidad articular fue relativamente menor en comparación con la colocación del tornillo a 3.5 cm, donde se logró una estabilidad articular de 83.3% y 16.3% de inestabilidad articular.

Abstract: Background: Ankle fractures are one of the most frequent lesions of the musculoskeletal system; there are studies that report an increase in the incidence of these fractures starting in the 1970s, associated with the increased media outreach of sporting activities. Supra- and transyndesmal fractures often lead to injury of the syndesmosis, which, if not treated properly, will leave joint instability. The most common treatment is the placement of a transyndesmal screw; there is controversy on the height in which it should be located with regard to the distal tibial joint line. Material and method: A descriptive, observational, retrospective and transversal study with clinical and radiographic records of patients operated on bimalleolar fractures; they were divided into two groups: those with the transyndesmal screw at 2 or 2.5 cm and those with the screw at 3.5 cm or more proximal. There was a total of 34 cases (group A: 16 patients; group B: 18), 22 male and 12 female, aged between 19 and 45 years. Results: We applied the Olerud-Molander ankle score for the clinical evaluation and measured the radiographic medial space of the ankle to consider the degree of reduction. The results in both groups were compared. Discussion: The location of the screw at 2.0 cm presented a percentage of 75% of joint stability and 25% of joint instability, the joint functionality was relatively smaller in comparison to the placement of the screw at 3.5 cm, with which we achieved a joint stability of 83.3% and 16.3% of joint instability.

Our current in Mexico is that it represents a serious health problem not yet recognized as low-energy fractures in older adults account for approximately 10% of subjects over 65 years (compared with 29% in Japan) about 4.4 million fractures in patients over 70 years, taking into account that we are a nation of 112 million, the problem is minor compared with other diseases in this and other population groups. In the Mexican health system, orthopedic services instead share with other health priorities, so that the authorities do not understand osteoporosis as a health problem, not observe increased morbidity and mortality that implicitly leads, there are few centers to support the diagnosis of osteoporosis (densitometers do not have), and recruitment, diagnosis and management of patients who have suffered a broken ground mechanically compromised. Have increased the frequency of fractures in osteoporotic ground, and institutional level has only treatments based on calcitriol and calcium to maintain bone mineral density.
