RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: To present the short- to midterm clinical outcomes of a series of patients with isolated acute syndesmosis instability treated with arthroscopy and percutaneous suture-button fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A review of 17 patients treated through the arthroscopic approach. The mean age of the patients was 27.8 years and the mean follow-up was 31.5 months. Clinical and functional evaluations were based on the VAS, AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score and time of return to preinjury level of activities. Imaging analysis was performed with stress radiographs, MRI and CT scan with stress. RESULTS: The average VAS was 0.5 and the mean AOFAS score was 95.5. Out of the 17 patients, 15 were able to return to their preinjury level of activities. The mean time of return to activities was 5.06 months. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic approach and percutaneous suture-button fixation provided satisfactory clinical and functional results for selected patients with ASI at short- to midterm follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, retrospective case series.

Situs inversus totalis is a rare recessive autosomal congenital abnormality in which the mediastinal and abdominal organs are in a mirrored position when compared to the usual topography. The literature reports some cases of situs inversus totalis and concomitant conditions: spinal abnormalities, cardiac malformations and hematological diseases, such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is an autoimmune disease that causes thrombocytopenia due to platelet destruction or suppression of its production. This article aimed to report the coexistence of situs inversus totalis and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

RESUMO Situs inversus totalis é uma anormalidade congênita autossômica recessiva rara em que os órgãos mediastinais e abdominais encontram-se em posição espelhada em relação à topografia habitual. A literatura relata alguns casos de concomitância do situs inversus totalis com outras condições: anomalias espinhais, malformações cardíacas e doenças hematológicas, como púrpura trombocitopênica idiopática, que é uma doença autoimune com plaquetopenia, devido à destruição dos trombócitos ou supressão da sua produção. Esse artigo teve o objetivo de relatar coexistência de situs inversus totalis e púrpura trombocitopênica idiopática.
