Resultados del tratamiento del sindrome de impactación ulnar mediante procedimiento de Wafer artroscópico / Treatment of ulnar carpal impingement syndrome. Arthroscopic Wafer procedure. Results

Introducción: El síndrome de pinzamiento cubito carpiano es una de las causas más frecuentes de dolor cubital de la muñeca. Es una patología de tipo degenerativa y progresiva. El objetivo del tratamiento quirúrgico se basa en la descompresión articular del cubito con el carpo proximal. Con los avances tecnológicos es posible realizar la osteotomía del cubito por via artroscópica y así tratar también lesiones asociadas. Material y Métodos: Evaluamos 13 pacientes con síndrome de impactación cubital desde el 01/01/2018 hasta el 01/03/19, utilizando la clasificación de Palmer para evaluar las lesiones. Evaluamos 7 mujeres y 6 hombres. La edad de los pacientes fue desde los 47-82 años (62 años promedio). El 69,2% en edad laboral (9 pacientes) y el 30,7% jubilados (4 pacientes) con un seguimiento de 3 a 12 meses (8,9 meses de promedio). Todos los pacientes fueron tratados por artroscopia. Se evaluó el Rango de Movilidad (ROM), fuerza de agarre, escala de Mayo de Muñeca y escala de DASH. Resultados: Hemos tenido mejoras en test del dolor y la fuerza, el ROM promedio fue de 80° extensión, 80° de flexión, 30° para la desviación radial y 25° de desviación cubital. El Score de muñeca de mayo fue: excelente 8 pacientes (61,5%), bueno en 5 pacientes (38,4%) y un mal resultado (7,69). La fuerza comparativa final fue del 82%. El Dash Score preoperatorio fue de 87 puntos y en el Post operatorio de 5 puntos. Conclusión: La osteotomía de cubito tipo wafer o en oblea artroscópica da resultados satisfactorios mejorando los ROM, recuperando la fuerza de forma total o parcial y disminuyendo el dolor siempre y cuando está bien indicada la cirugía. Tipo de estudio: Serie de casos. Nivel de evidencia: IV

Introduction: The ulnar carpal impingement syndrome is one of the most frequent causes of ulnar pain in the wrist. It is a pathology of degenerative and progressive type. The objective of surgical treatment is based on the joint decompression of the ulna with the proximal carpus. With technological advances, it is possible to perform the osteotomy of the ulna by arthroscopic route and thus also treat associated injuries. Material and Methods: We evaluated 13 patients with ulnar impaction syndrome from 01/01/2018 to 03/01/19 using the Palmer classification to evaluate the lesions. We evaluated seven women and six men. The age of the patients was from 47-82 years (62 years average). 69.2% of working age (9 patients) and 30.7% retired (4 patients) with a follow-up of 3 to 12 months (8.9 months on average). All patients were treated by arthroscopy. The Mobility Range (ROM), grip strength, Wrist May scale and DASH scale were evaluated. Results: We have had improvements in pain and strength tests, the average ROM was 80° extension, 80° flexion, 30° for radial deviation and 25° ulnar deviation. The Wrist Score of May was excellent 8 patients (61.5%), Good in 5 patients (38.4%) and a poor result (7.69). The final comparative strength was 82%. The preoperative Dash Score was 87 points and in the post-operative of 5 points. Conclusion: The osteotomy of ulnar type wafer or arthroscopic wafer gives satisfactory results improving the ROM, recovering the strength totally or partially and decreasing the pain as long as surgery is well indicated. Type of study: Case series. Level of evidence: IV

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis exhibiting predominance of periosteal reaction / Osteomielite crônica multifocal recorrente exibindo predomínio de reação periosteal

Summary Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is an idiopathic nonpyogenic autoinflammatory bone disorder involving multiple sites, with clinical progression persisting for more than 6 months and which may have episodes of remission and exacerbation in the long term. It represents up to 2-5% of the cases of osteomyelitis, with an approximate incidence of up to 4/1,000,000 individuals, and average age of disease onset estimated between 8-11 years, predominantly in females. The legs are the most affected, with a predilection for metaphyseal regions along the growth plate. We describe the case of a female patient, aged 2 years and 5 months, with involvement of the left ulna, right jaw and left tibia, showing a predominance of periosteal reaction as main finding.

Resumo Osteomielite crônica multifocal recorrente é uma desordem autoinflamatória óssea idiopática não piogênica, envolvendo vários sítios e com evolução clínica persistindo por mais de 6 meses, podendo apresentar episódios de remissão e exacerbação em longo prazo. Representa de 2 a 5% das osteomielites, com incidência aproximada de até 4/1.000.000, com idade média de apresentação estimada entre 8 e 11 anos, predominando no gênero feminino. Os membros inferiores são os mais afetados, com predileção para regiões metafisárias junto à fise. Descrevemos um caso da doença em uma menina de 2 anos e 5 meses de idade, com acometimento de ulna esquerda, mandíbula à direita e tíbia esquerda, exibindo predomínio de reação periosteal como achado principal.
