Fijación artroscópica sin metal del bloque óseo en la inestabilidad anterior del hombro. Resultados funcionales y radiológicos a corto plazo / Arthroscopic bone block metal-free fixation for anterior shoulder instability. Short-term functional and radiological outcomes

Introducción: Existen múltiples técnicas para la reconstrucción del defecto óseo glenoideo con bloque óseo en la inestabilidad glenohumeral anterior que reducen el riesgo de recidiva tras cirugía de partes blandas, la mayoría utilizando fijación metálica. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la seguridad quirúrgica y los resultados funcionales y radiológicos a corto plazo de los pacientes sometidos a una técnica artroscópica con bloque óseo y fijación sin metal. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes con inestabilidad y defecto óseo glenoideo>15% con 12 meses de seguimiento mínimo. Se sometieron a estudio radiográfico y tomografía axial computarizada. Se cumplimentaron escalas funcionales de manera pre y postoperatoria: el Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index y la escala de Rowe. Resultados: Se incluyeron un total de 21 pacientes con una edad media de 30,6 (DE 7,1). Todos mostraron consolidación radiográfica a los 3 meses. El 90,4% de los injertos presentó osteólisis en las áreas más periféricas y el 95,2% presentó consolidación en las áreas de contacto con la glenoides. La media del área de superficie de la glenoides pasó del 79,3% preoperatoria al 98,4% a los 12 meses. Los resultados funcionales medios resultaron estadísticamente significativos (p<0,001) tanto para el Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (de 35,6 a 86,9) como para la escala de Rowe (de 25,2 a 96,4). No se presentaron complicaciones graves. Conclusión: La técnica de bloque óseo y fijación sin metal es un método de fijación seguro, sin componentes metálicos. Consigue una consolidación completa del injerto con buenos resultados funcionales y radiográficos a los 12 meses.(AU)

Introduction: Anterior glenohumeral bone loss reconstruction reduces failure rates after soft tissue surgery in patients with large glenoid bone defects. Multiple bone block techniques have been described, most with metal hardware fixation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, as well as the short-term functional and radiological results of an arthroscopic bone block metal-free fixation or bone block cerclage. Material and methods: Retrospective study of patients with glenohumeral instability and>15% glenoid bone loss operated during 2019 with follow-up of at least 12 months. Radiography and computerized tomography studies were performed. Functional outcomes were evaluated before and after surgery with the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index and Rowe score. Results: A total of 21 patients with a median age of 30.6 (SD 7.1) were included. All showed radiographic consolidation at 3 months follow-up. A percentage of 90.4 of bone grafts presented osteolysis at peripherical areas and 95.2% revealed consolidation in the areas with contact to the glenoid. The median glenoid estimated surface went from 79.3% before surgery to 98.4% at 12 months. Functional scores were statically significant (P<.001) for Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (35.6-86.9) and Rowe score (25.2 to 96.4). No serious complications were reported. Conclusion: The bone block cerclage is a safe, metal-free technique that achieves total consolidation of the bone graft and favorable functional and radiological outcomes at 12 months follow-up.(AU)
