RESUMO

Introduction: The presence of a fragility fracture increases the risk of new fractures. The timely and prompt initiation of treatment for osteoporosis can reduce the incidence of new fractures, for which adherence to management is a determining factor. The main objective of the study was to characterize the secondary prevention program for fragility hip fractures in patients older than 65 years, determine adherence to treatment and its effect on the appearance of new fractures in the established follow-up period. Materials and Methods: A descriptive retrospective cohort study was carried out. Patients older than 65 years with a fragility hip fracture treated by an Orthogeriatric Clinical Care Center between May 2014 and April 2020 who completed a one-year follow-up were included. Results: A final sample of 290 patients was obtained (226 women and 64 men) with an average age of 82.27 years. It was found that 84.5% of patients received indications to start osteoporotic management prior to hospital discharge and only 35.2% started the treatment in the first 6 postoperative months. 16.6% (n = 48) of patients presented a new fracture, with no significant difference between those who started their osteoporosis treatment in a timely manner. Out of the 48 patients, 5 patients (10.4%) met therapeutic failure criteria. Discussion: Most patients (84.5%) received indications for starting osteoporotic treatment before hospital discharge, nevertheless 35.2% started it during the first 6 postoperative months. 16.6% of patients presented a new fracture during follow up, of which only five met therapeutic failure criteria. Conclusions: No significant differences were found between the presence of new fractures and early initiation of osteoporotic management. However, literature shows that prompt and timely osteoporotic treatment reduces the incidence of new fractures, thus measures must be implemented to strengthen the adherence and surveillance of patients to the indicated treatment.

RESUMO

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an online course to enable orthopaedic surgeons to acquire the core competencies necessary to prevent and treat fracture-related infections (FRI). This study included orthopaedic surgeons and residents from Latin American countries who attended an online course focused on FRI. The online course included: didactic lectures, small-group clinical case discussions, and panel case discussions. The course was delivered using Zoom® platform and designed to address four core competencies: prevention, definition and diagnosis, antimicrobial therapy, and surgical treatment. An online questionnaire was created distributing 16 questions through six clinical scenarios. Participants were invited to answer the questionnaire before and after the course. Sixty of the 78 course participants answered the pre-course, and 42 the post-course assessment. Relative to before the course, the mean post-course assessment score rose significantly for prevention of FRI (4.1 before and 4.5 after; p = 0.014), definition and diagnosis (2.4 before and 3.4 after; p = 0.001), and surgical treatment (2.2 before and 2.8 after; p = 0.011). The final score encompassing all four core competencies also rose significantly (2.7 before and 3.3 after; p = 0.001). The online course on FRI was feasible and effective, significantly increasing course users' knowledge of overall competency in managing FRI.

RESUMO

Abstract Preoperative planning (PP) is critical to ensure a successful outcome in orthopaedic trauma surgery. Since it was first described thirty years ago, no modifications have been made to the original preoperative planning (OPP) technique, which was written by hand using pen and paper. We believe that the use of presentation software (such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, US) can ease, improve and update the OPP and complement three-dimensional PP. The objective of the present paper is to describe our method for PP using a presentation software (PS).


Resumo O planejamento pré-operatório (PP) é fundamental para garantir um resultado bemsucedido na cirurgia de trauma ortopédico. Desde que foi descrita pela primeira vez há trinta anos, não foram feitas modificações na técnica de planejamento pré-operatório original (PPO), que foi escrita à mão usando caneta e papel. Acreditamos que o uso de um software de apresentação (como o Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, EUA) pode facilitar, melhorar e atualizar o PPO e complementar o PP tridimensional. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar nosso método de PP por meio de software de apresentação (SA).

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The use of mini plates as a reduction tool is an elegant technique for temporary stabilization of multifragmentary fractures. For some complex periarticular fractures with severe comminution close to the articular surface, mini plates seem to be a better option than K-wires for provisional as well as definitive fixation, because of the presence of small fragments and proximity to the joint increases the risk of additional fragmentation and articular penetration, respectively. CASE REPORT: Five cases of complex periarticular fractures of the upper limb are presented. We used 2.3 mm mini plates as reduction plates for different situations, including one scapula fracture, one clavicle fracture, one distal humerus fracture, one proximal ulna fracture, and one distal radius fracture. In all cases, an excellent clinical outcome with a full return to pain-free activity was achieved after a minimum follow-up of 12 months. CONCLUSION: We feel that these mini extra-articular implants are particularly helpful as temporary reduction tools before the application of the definitive implant to a reduced and stabilized the fracture. Because they have longer screws allowing better cortical purchase and low-profile allowing plate overlap, the procedure seems to be faster and easier when compared to the use of temporary K-wires and clamps.

RESUMO

Surgical management of lower extremity malunions and acute fractures in the setting of lower extremity deformities presents a unique challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of using the clamshell osteotomy in patients with acute fractures involving a malunion or deformity. A retrospective review of the cases performed by various orthopaedic traumatologists at 4 different trauma centers was performed to identify cases using the clamshell osteotomy from January 2012 to January 2016. Nine clamshell osteotomy cases were identified, 4 presenting fractures in the setting of previous malunions. All osteotomies healed within 15 months (average 6.8 ± 4.4 SD). In this multicenter case series, we demonstrate that using clamshell osteotomies can result in excellent outcomes for permitting intramedullary nailing of acute fractures in patients with lower extremity deformity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate mortality and survival rates of patients aged 65 years or older who sustained a hip fracture and were treated at a hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, after the establishment of an Orthogeriatric Program. METHOD: In total, 298 patients were treated according to the program's protocol. The primary outcome was 1-year mortality. Mortality predictors were estimated using Cox proportional hazards model, and survival was measured with Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS: The annual survival rate increased from 80% to 89% ( p = .039) 4 years after its implementation. There was a significant decrease in mortality risk (Hazard Ratio = 0.54, p = .049). Arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, history of myocardial infarction, and age greater than 85 years were predictors of mortality. DISCUSSION: This is the first study in Latin America to show decreased mortality rates 1 year after the implementation of an Orthogeriatric Program. Our rates were lower than developed countries, suggesting the existence of additional factors that influence long-term outcomes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate complication rates and functional outcomes of fibular neck osteotomy for posterolateral tibial plateau fractures. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENTS: From January 2013 to October 2014, 11 patients underwent transfibular approach for posterolateral fractures of the tibial plateau and were enrolled in the study. All patients who underwent transfibular approach were invited the return to the hospital for another clinical and imaging evaluation. INTERVENTION: Transfibular approach (fibular neck osteotomy) with open reduction and internal fixation for posterolateral fractures of the tibial plateau. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Complications exclusively related to the transfibular approach: peroneal nerve palsy; knee instability; loss of reduction; nonunion and malunion of fibular osteotomy; and functional outcomes related to knee function. RESULTS: Two patients failed to follow-up and were excluded from the study. Of the 9 patients included in the study, no patients demonstrated evidence of a peroneal nerve palsy. One patient presented loss of fracture reduction and fixation of the fibular neck osteotomy, requiring revision screw fixation. There were no malunions of the fibular osteotomy. None of the patients demonstrated clinically detectable posterolateral instability of the knee following surgery. American Knee Society Score was good in 7 patients (77.8%), fair in 1 (11.1%), and poor in 1 (11.1%). American Knee Society Score/Function showed 80 points average (60-100, S.D:11). CONCLUSION: The transfibular approach for posterolateral fractures is safe and useful for visualizing posterolateral articular injury. The surgeon must gently protect the peroneal nerve during the entire procedure and fix the osteotomy with long screws to prevent loss of reduction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic level IV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Over the past decade several studies have questioned current standards of patient safety in health care delivery. In response, our institution started a clinical pathway for total hip replacement in 1996. Prospective monitoring with regular feedback sessions to the individuals involved in patient care did however not start until 2003. The present study evaluates the effect of prospective monitoring on outcomes of total hip replacement. METHODS: Clinical records of patients undergoing primary elective total hip replacement between 1997 and 2004 were reviewed. Data on adverse events as well as adherence to protocols for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis were extracted retrospectively for the period 1997 to 2001 and prospectively from 2003 to 2004. Results were compared and analyzed in order to establish possible improvement in outcomes. Data was analyzed with Chi-square or Fisher's Exact test for categorical variables and Student's t-test for continuous variables. Alpha was set as less than 5% and analysis was performed with Stata 9.0 for Macintosh. RESULTS: Two-hundred and eighty-three patients were included from 1997 to 2001, and 62 from 2003 to 2004. Mean age, male to female ratio and initial diagnosis were similar in both groups. At least one adverse event occurred in 45% of patients in 1997-2001 and in 21% in 2003-2004 (p < 0.001). In-hospital hip dislocations occurred in 6% and 0% (p = 0.05), oliguria in 19% and 5% (p = 0.007), SSI and VTE in 3% and 0% (p = 0.37), adverse drug reactions in 11% and 13% (p = 0.66) and non-adherence to VTE prophylaxis protocols in 15% and 2% of cases respectively (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Overall rate of adverse events as well as in-hospital hip dislocations, oliguria and non-adherence to VTE prophylaxis protocols were significantly reduced during the second period. We conclude that clinical pathways alone are insufficient to improve patient safety and require prospective monitoring and continuous feedback to health care providers in order to achieve the desired effect.

RESUMO

El desarrollo en el conocimiento de problemas intra-articulares de la cadera representa un cambio de pensamiento en los cirujanos de cadera que en la actualidad disponemos de nuevos métodos diagnósticos y técnicas terapéuticas. La artroscopia de cadera es una técnica quirúrgica emergente, que ofrece como ventajas una menor morbilidad posoperatoria a los pacientes, con un bajo reporte de complicaciones y una rápida rehabilitación en el tratamiento de patologías articulares de reciente reconocimiento. En este estudio describimos las indicaciones para la artroscopia de cadera, la valoración de los pacientes, y se realiza una revisión de los resultados disponibles en la literatura.

RESUMO

El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar el impacto de conductas de autocontrol, mejoramiento continuo de la calidad y monitorización de la adherencia en tiempo real a los procesos, sobre los desenlaces clínicos en términos de seguridad y eficacia. Para lograrlo se evaluaron las tendencias de los desenlaces de dos cirujanos ortopedistas durante cuatro años consecutivos, quienes realizaron reemplazos articulares protésicos en cadera y rodilla. Se evaluaron: número de intervenciones/año, tiempo quirúrgico, sangrado, estancia hospitalaria y eventos adversos. Los resultados finales fueron comparados con un trabajo realizado durante la fase de levantamiento de los procesos, pasando de un 45,2% de eventos adversos (oliguria en las primeras 24 horas, luxación protésica intrahospitalaria de los componentes articulares, reacción medicamentosa e infección) a un 10% para el reemplazo de cadera y un 7% para el reemplazo de rodilla. Se observó una tendencia progresiva a la disminución del tiempo quirúrgico en los dos cirujanos evaluados; así como del sangrado y los días de estancia hospitalaria. El número de pacientes intervenidos por año también aumentó sustancialmente. Se concluyó que al trabajar en gestión por procesos clínicos (autocontrol, mejoramiento continuo de la calidad y monitorización de la adherencia en tiempo real a los procesos) con cirujanos dedicados a la práctica subespecializada de ortopedia y, específicamente, reemplazos de cadera y rodilla, se logran mejores desenlaces en pacientes sometidos a artroplastias. El impacto más importante es que para ambos procesos la estandarización basada en herramientas de gestión disminuyó sustancialmente los eventos adversos posoperatorios.

RESUMO

Presentamos un diagnóstico inicial para gestión clínica de las complicaciones en los tres primeros meses del post-operatorio de reemplazo total de rodilla (RTR). De marzo de 2003 a noviembre de 2004 se realizaron 78 reemplazos primarios de rodilla. El promedio de edad fue de 66 años y el 76% fueron mujeres. Se obtuvieron los datos de seguimiento a tres meses de 61 pacientes. Seis pacientes (9,84%) cursaron con complicaciones. Se presentaron dos infecciones del sitio quirúrgico (3,28%), y un granuloma por sutura (1,64%). Una paciente (1,64%) cursó con una fractura peri-protésica de fémur, una (1,64%) con trombosis venosa profunda y una (1,64%) con hemartrosis. Tres pacientes (4,92%) fueron reintervenidos quirúrgicamente. El RTR en nuestra institución presenta una tasa de complicaciones superior al estándar reportado en la literatura científica y se establece de esta manera como un proceso prioritario para la intervención en gestión clínica.
