RESUMO
Objective To perform a radiographic assessment of the quality of supracondylar fracture fixation by identifying the factors that have contributed to inadequate reduction and increased the chance of reduction loss during outpatient follow-up. The variables analyzed were as follows: fracture line, initial displacement, time of day the surgery was performed, and chosen fixation technique. Methods Review of electronic medical records and radiographic evaluation of supracondylar fractures operated from January 2017 to December 2022. The radiograph assessment was based on the Baumann angle and the anterior humeral line. Determination of fixation quality was based on the number of cortices, crossing site, and wire divergence. Results We evaluated 194 cases, and postoperative reduction was poor in 17% of the subjects. Reduction loss occurred in 39 cases (20.10%), and 19 (48.7%) of these patients presented insufficient fixation ( p = 0.002). Among the cases operated during the day, 12.5% lost the reduction compared with 32% of the patients who underwent surgery at night and early in the morning ( p = 0.001). Conclusion Reduction quality and postoperative fixation loss were closely related to technical errors and the time of day the surgery was performed.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study shows the danger zone and the safety corridor in the lateral approach with bridge plating by measuring the distance between the lateral side of the plate positioned on the lateral aspect of the humerus and the radial nerve after it pierces the lateral intermuscular septum, in the different forearm positions. METHODS: Forty arms of 20 human cadavers were used, the radial nerve was identified and marked on the lateral surface the radial nerve at the exit of the lateral intermuscular septum and anteriorisation of the nerve in relation to the humeral shaft and the lateral epicondyle was also marked. The distances were measured with a digital caliper. A submuscular extraperiosteal corridor was created, proximally between the biceps brachialis and deltoid muscle and distally between the triceps and brachioradialis muscle, followed by the positioning of the low contact large fragments contoured plate with 14 combined holes (fixed and cortical angle), inserted from distal to proximal. Measurements were performed in four positions (elbow flexion with forearm pronation, elbow flexion with forearm supination, elbow extension with forearm pronation and elbow extension with forearm supination). RESULTS: Significant statistical differences occurred with the different positions, and the elbow flexion with forearm supination was shown to be the position that provides the safest submuscular extraperiosteal corridor in a lateral approach of the humerus. CONCLUSION: The danger zone of radial nerve is an area that extends from 15 cm to 5 cm proximal to the lateral epicondyle and the safest way to create a submuscular and extraperiosteal corridor in the lateral region of the humerus is with the elbow in flexion and the forearm in supination.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar de forma radiográfica a qualidade da fixação das fraturas supracondilianas, identificando os fatores que contribuíram para uma redução inadequada e que aumentaram a chance de perda de redução no seguimento ambulatorial. As variáveis analisadas foram: traço de fratura, deslocamento inicial, período do dia em que a cirurgia foi realizada e técnica de fixação escolhida. Métodos Revisão de prontuário eletrônico e avaliação radiográfica das fraturas supracondilianas operadas de janeiro de 2017 a dezembro de 2022. A avaliação das radiografias foi baseada no ângulo de Baumann e na linha umeral anterior. Já a qualidade de fixação foi mensurada pelo número de corticais, pelo local de cruzamento e pela divergência dos fios. Resultados Foram avaliados 194 casos, sendo a redução pós-operatória considerada ruim em 17%. A perda de redução aconteceu em 39 casos (20,10%), sendo que 19 (48,7%) desses pacientes apresentaram fixação insuficiente (p = 0,002). Dos casos operados durante o dia, 12,5% perderam a redução, comparados a 32% dos realizados nos períodos noturno e da madrugada (p = 0,001). Conclusão Dessa forma, a qualidade da redução e a perda da fixação pós-operatória mostraram-se intimamente relacionadas aos erros técnicos e ao período do dia em que a cirurgia foi realizada.
RESUMO
Abstract The most frequent skeletal injuries are hand fractures, which constitute around 20% of all fractures. Fractures of the phalanx are usual, comprising 6% of all fractures. Proximal phalanx fractures arise more often. The main goals of the care are to repair the anatomy, reduce the damage to soft tissue, and mobilize the damaged fingers as soon as stabilization of the fracture allows it. The present report is intended to examine the clinical and radiation effects of proximal phalanx fractures in patients treated with intramedullary screw fixation who underwent closed reduction. We report three consecutive cases of proximal phalanx fracture: two basal fractures and one simple shaft fracture. They were treated surgically with closed reduction with intramedullary headless compression screws. The preoperative magnitude of the angulation of the proximal phalanx averaged 30.3° (range: 13° to 42°). Two patients presented rotational deformity. The clinical findings were measured using the abbreviated version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick-DASH) questionnaire, and the range of motion and functional results were assessed. Complications were observed over a span of at least 3 months. The patients displayed complete active flexion-extension proximal interphalangeal joint and flexion-extension metacarpophalangeal joint without rotative deformity. The scores on the QuickDASH were satisfactory (mean: 2.3; range: 0 to 4.5). No secondary surgeries were performed, and complications were not observed. Intramedullary fixation of proximal phalanx fractures with cannulated tension screws has been shown to be a safe operation, resulting in outstanding functional performance and an early recovery. The fracture is minimized and properly consolidated by the patients.
Resumo As lesões esqueléticas mais frequentes são as fraturas que ocorrem nas mãos, que representam aproximadamente 20% de todas as fraturas. As mais comuns são as fraturas falangeanas, que abrangem 6% de todas as fraturas. As fraturas da falange proximal aparecem com mais frequência. O principal objetivo do atendimento é corrigir a anatomia, reduzir os danos aos tecidos moles, e mobilizar os dedos atingidos assim que a estabilização da fratura permitir. Este relato tem como objetivo examinar os efeitos clínicos e da radiação nas fraturas da falange proximal, em pacientes infectados com a fixação de parafuso intramedular que foram submetidos a redução fechada. Este é o relato de três casos consecutivos de fratura da falange: duas fraturas da base e uma fratura simples da diáfise. Todos foram submetidos a redução fechada com parafuso intramedular de compressão sem cabeça. A magnitude pré-operatória da angulação da falange proximal foi em média 30,3° (variação de 13° a 42°). Dois pacientes apresentaram deformidade rotacional. Os achados clínicos foram medidos com a versão abreviada do questionário de Disfunções do Braço, Ombro e Mão (Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, QuickDash, em inglês), em que foram avaliados a amplitude de movimento e os resultados funcionais. Complicações foram observadas em um período mínimo de 3 meses. Os pacientes apresentavam flexo-extensão ativa total na articulação interfalangiana proximal e na articulação metacarpofalangiana de flexo-extensão sem deformidade rotacional. A pontuação no Quick-DASH foi satisfatória (média: 2,3; variação: 0 a 4,5). Não houve cirurgias secundárias, e não se observaram complicações. A fixação intramedular das fraturas da falange proximal com o parafuso de tensão canulado tem se mostrado uma cirurgia segura, com excelente desempenho funcional e recuperação precoce. A fratura é minimizada e consolidada adequadamente pelos pacientes.
RESUMO
Abstract Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most effective operations to relieve pain and improve function in the end stage of osteoarthritis (when bone on bone contact occurs). The intraoperative complications of TKA include fracture, tendon or ligament injury, and nerve or vascular complications. We herein describe an unusual complication of intramedullary pin migration within the femoral canal during TKA. A 72-year-old male patient underwent TKA with a posterior stabilization system with sacrifice of the posterior cruciate ligament. The distal femur was sectioned and balance was checked in extension. Then to make anterior, posterior, chamfer and notch cuts, the five-in-one anteroposterior (AP) cutting block was placed on the distal femur and the cuts were initiated. As there was a medial overhang of the cutting block, it was shifted laterally. While doing so, the pins had to be shifted too, and one of them was inadvertently hammered into the previously-created medullary canal opening of the femur. As usual orthopedic instruments, like the long straight artery forceps and pituitary rongeurs, failed to remove the migrated pin, an extralong laparoscopic grasper was used under fluoroscopy control to locate, grasp, and remove the migrated pin.
Resumo A artroplastia total do joelho (ATJ) é uma das cirurgias mais eficazes para alívio da dor e melhora da função no estágio final da artrose (quando ocorre contato entre os ossos). As várias complicações intraoperatórias da ATJ incluem fratura, lesão em tendão ou ligamentos, e complicações nervosas ou vasculares. Neste artigo, descrevemos uma complicação incomum: a migração do pino intramedular dentro do canal femoral durante a ATJ. Um paciente do sexo masculino de 72 anos foi submetido a ATJ com sistema de estabilização posterior e sacrifício do ligamento cruzado posterior. A porção distal do fêmur foi seccionada, e o equilíbrio foi verificado em extensão. Em seguida, um bloco anteroposterior (AP) cinco em um foi utilizado para seção anterior, posterior, de chanfro, e entalhe. Por apresentar uma saliência medial, o bloco foi deslocado em sentido lateral. Ao fazê-lo, os pinos também tiveram de ser deslocados, e um deles foi inadvertidamente inserido na abertura do canal medular do fêmur criado. Como instrumentos ortopédicos usuais, como pinça reta longa e saca-bocado pituitário não conseguiram remover o pino migrado, uma pinça laparoscópica extralonga foi usada sob controle fluoroscópico para localizar, agarrar e remover o pino migrado.
RESUMO
Abstract A 15-year-old male presented with multiple right-hand fractures, including a severely angulated small finger metacarpal neck fracture. Multiple closed attempts failed, and open reduction was performed. At surgery, the extensor tendon was found to be interposed within the fracture, thereby preventing closed reduction. The tendon was extricated from the fracture site, adequate reduction was obtained, and the fracture was stabilized using K-wires. The fracture united well, with good return of motion and strength. Extensor tendon interposition is a rare scenario associated with metacarpal neck fractures and should be suspected when there is complete loss of contact between the fracture ends and multiple attempts at closed reduction have failed.
Resumo Um jovem do sexo masculino com 15 anos de idade apresentou múltiplas fraturas da mão direita, incluindo fratura do colo do quinto metacarpo com grande angulação. As múltiplas tentativas de redução fechada falharam, sendo então realizada a redução aberta. Foi encontrado durante a cirurgia o tendão extensor interposto dentro da fratura, impedindo desta forma a redução fechada. O tendão foi liberado do sítio da fratura, de modo que foi obtida a redução adequada e a fratura foi estabilizada com fios de Kirschner. A fratura foi bem consolidada, com um bom retorno do movimento e da força. A interposição do tendão extensor é um cenário raro associado a fraturas do colo metacárpico, devendo se suspeitar dela quando houver perda completa de contato entre as extremidades da fratura e as várias tentativas de redução fechada falharem.
RESUMO
Abstract A middle-aged female patient with a tibial plateau fracture combined with an avulsion of the tibial eminence was treated with a combination of medial plate fixation for the plateau and an arthroscopic aided nonabsorbable suture of the eminence. Our technique for tibial eminence avulsion fractures has no interference with tibial plateau osteosynthesis materials and has proven, once again, to have good results in the treatment of combined and complex injuries of the knee.
Resumo Uma paciente de meia-idade com fratura do platô tibial e avulsão da eminência tibial foi tratada com uma combinação de fixação do platô com placa medial e sutura da eminência com fio não absorvível auxiliada por artroscopia. Nossa técnica para fraturas com avulsão da eminência tibial não interfere nos materiais de osteossíntese do platô tibial e, mais uma vez, teve bons resultados no tratamento de lesões combinadas e complexas do joelho.

Objective To review knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for the analysis of the location of neurovascular structures (NVSs), and to define the risk of bicortical fixation. Methods Distances between the posterior cortex and the popliteal NVSs were measured on the MRI scans of 45 adolescents (50 knees) at 3 levels (C1: center of the proximal tibial epiphysis; C2: 10 mm distal to the physis; and C3: 20 mm distal to the physis). The NVSs located between 5 mm and 10 mm from the incision were considered in a zone of moderate risk for damage, while those less than 5 mm from the incision were considered in a zone of high risk for damage, and those more than 10 mm from the incision were considered to be in a zone of low risk for damage. The independent Student t -test was used for the comparison of the NVS distance 0with gender, skeletal maturity, and the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance. Values of p < 0.05 were regarded as statistically significant. Results The path of the C1 screw posed an increased risk of damage to the popliteal artery and vein compared with other screw paths ( p < 0.001). The popliteal artery has a high risk of damage at the level of C1 (4.2 ± 2.2mm), and a moderate risk at C2 (9.6 ± 2.4mm), and the popliteal vein has a moderate risk at C1 (6.0 ± 2.7 mm), and a low risk at C2 and C3 (10.8 ± 3.1mm, and 12.05 ± 3.1mm respectively). The C3 position presented the lowest risk of damage to these structures ( p < 0.001). The distance between the posterior tibial cortex and the posterior tibial nerve was < 15 mm at the 3 levels analyzed (C1: 11.0 ± 3.7 mm; C2: 13.1 ± 3.8 mm; and C3: 13 ± 3.9 mm). Conclusions The present study clarifies that the popliteal vessels are at risk of injury during tibial tubercle screw fixation, particularly when drilling the proximal tibial epiphysis. Monocortical drilling and screw fixation are recommended for the surgical treatment of tibial tubercle fractures. Level of Evidence III Diagnostic study.

Introduction. The objective of this study was to describe sociodemographic characteristic, treatment, and pre- and post-surgical complications of supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus in children who required surgical management at a hospital in Santander, Colombia. Methodology. This was an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study involving 58 patients who met inclusion criteria: age between 3 and 14 years old, supracondylar fractures with surgical management; exclusion criteria include previous bone or neurological illness and fractures with more than 7 days of evolution. Central tendency and dispersion measures were used for continuous variables, and categorical variables in percentages and absolute frequencies. Results. The average age at presentation was 6.2 years old, the main mechanism of trauma was fall from height (96.5%). 65.5% came from urban zones. The 13.8% were associated with forearm fractures, and 3.4% with epitrochlear fractures. Pinning was performed at 75% with crossed technique and 17.2% were associated with iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. Discussion. Study didn't inform vascular injuries. However, a high prevalence of neurological injury with medial pinning was documented, similar to that describe in the literature (1.4%-17.7%); some author described techniques that reduce these lesions by 0%. Conclusion. The sociodemographic characteristics of our population match with worldwide published statistics; the main complication was iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury, which can be reduced with the rational use of medial pin and with the application of techniques that seek to directly spare the nerve.

Historically, surgeries on the immature skeleton were reserved for open or articular fractures. In recent years, the improvement in the quality and safety of anesthesia, new imaging equipment, implants designed especially for pediatric fractures, associated with the possibility of shorter hospitalization time and rapid return to social life has demonstrated a new tendency to evaluate and treat fractures in children. The purpose of this update article is to answer the following questions: (1) Are we really turning more surgical in addressing fractures in children? (2) If this is true, is this surgical conduct based on scientific evidence? In fact, in recent decades, the medical literature demonstrates articles that support better evolution of fractures in children with surgical treatment. In the upper limbs, this is very evident in the systematization of the reduction and percutaneous fixation of supracondylar fractures of the humerus and fractures of the forearm bones. In the lower limbs, the same occurs with diaphyseal fractures of the femur and tibia. However, there are gaps in the literature. The available published studies show low scientific evidence. Thus, it can be inferred that, even though the surgical approach is more present, the treatment of pediatric fractures should always be individualized and conducted according to the knowledge and experience of the professional physician, taking into account the presence of technological resources available for the care of the small patient. All possibilities, non-surgical and/or surgical, should be included, always instituting actions based on science and in agreement with the family's wishes.

Resumo Historicamente, as cirurgias no esqueleto imaturo eram reservadas às fraturas expostas ou articulares. Nos últimos anos, a melhora na qualidade e segurança das anestesias, novos equipamentos de imagem, implantes desenhados especialmente para fraturas pediátricas, associados à possibilidade de menor tempo de hospitalização e rápido retorno ao convívio social vêm demonstrando uma nova tendência de avaliar e tratar fraturas na criança. O objetivo deste artigo de atualização é responder às seguintes questões: (1) estamos realmente ficando mais cirúrgicos na abordagem das fraturas em crianças? (2) Caso isto seja verdadeiro, esta conduta cirúrgica está baseada em evidências científicas? De fato, nas últimas décadas, a literatura médica demonstra artigos que suportam melhor evolução das fraturas na criança com o tratamento cirúrgico. Nos membros superiores, isto fica muito evidente na sistematização da redução e fixação percutânea das fraturas supracondilianas do úmero e das fraturas de ossos do antebraço. Nos membros inferiores, o mesmo ocorre com fraturas diafisárias do fêmur e tíbia. No entanto, há lacunas na literatura. Os estudos publicados são geralmente com baixa evidência científica. Assim, pode-se deduzir que, mesmo sendo a abordagem cirúrgica mais presente, o tratamento de fraturas pediátricas deve ser sempre individualizado e conduzido de acordo com o conhecimento e experiência do médico profissional, levando em conta a presença de recursos tecnológicos disponíveis para o atendimento do pequeno paciente. Deve-se incluir todas as possibilidades, não cirúrgicas e/ou cirúrgicas, sempre instituindo ações baseadas na ciência e em concordância com os anseios da família.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of infrared laser (IRL) on bone repair in ovariectomized rats subjected to femoral osteotomies. Of 32 rats, half underwent bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and the other half underwent sham ovariectomy (SHAM). A period of 3 months was defined to observe the presence of osteoporosis. The rats were subjected to osteotomies in the femurs and then fixed with a miniplate and 1.5-mm system screws. Thereafter, half of the rats from both SHAM and OVX groups were not irradiated, and the other half were irradiated by IRL using the following parameters: wavelength, 808 nm; power, 100 mW; 60 s for each point; 6 J/point; and a total of 5 points of bone gap. All animals were euthanized 60 days after surgery. The femur gap was scanned using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The samples were then examined under a confocal laser microscope to determine the amounts of calcein and alizarin red. The slides were stained with alizarin red and Stevenel's blue for histometric analysis. In the micro-CT analysis, the OVX groups had the lowest bone volume (P < 0.05). When the laser was applied to the OVX groups, bone turnover increased (P < 0.05). New bone formation (NBF) was comparable between SHAM and OVX/IR (P > 0.05) groups; however, it was less in the OVX groups (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the results encourage the use of IRL intraoperatively as it optimizes bone repair, mainly in animals with low bone mineral density.

INTRODUCTION: Scaphoid fractures represent 5-10% of nonunion rate and the treatment options consist of an open reduction with correction of deformity, restoration of the scaphoid length with autologous wedge grafting and fixation. However, there is still no consensus in the literature on the best fixation method. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to compare plate fixation and screw fixation in treating scaphoid nonunion with humpback deformity and carpal instability. METHODS: Prospective, non-randomised study comparing the treatment of two groups of patients with scaphoid nonunion. A total of 19 patients were included in the study, the first ten patients were included in group 1 (plate fixation), subsequently nine patients were included in group 2 (screw fixation). The nonunion duration was longer than 6 months and patients did not present type III Scaphoid Nonunion Advanced Collapse (SNAC). Clinical evaluations included pain intensity, range of motion, grip strength, pinch test and functional scales Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Mayo Wrist Score. Radiographic evaluations consisted of radiographs of both wrists in AP, AP with ulnar deviation, lateral and oblique views. Patients further underwent a tomography of the affected wrist for bone deformity, carpal collapse and later consolidation evaluation. RESULTS: According to post-operative measurements, group 1 showed a significant improvement in the scapholunate angle (p = 0.011) and in the intrascaphoid angle (p = 0.002). Group 2 only showed an improvement in the scapholunate angle (p = 0.011). All patients in group 1 achieved consolidation in 8 weeks, while group 2 patients had a slower consolidation, with a mean of 14 weeks and standard deviation (SD) of 4.2, with statistical significance (p = 0.006). CONCLUSION: Our prospective study, despite the limitations, contributes to the literature for demonstrating a better fixation using plate, with a better correction of humpback deformity and Dorsal Intercalated Segment Instability (DISI) and a faster consolidation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II, therapeutics studies; prospective comparative study.

Abstract Objective Various modalities have been suggested to manage mallet fractures; however, inappropriate treatment can lead to extension lag, a swan neck deformity, or arthritis of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ). The current study aimed to evaluate the results (functional, radiological, and complications) of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of mallet fractures using low-cost hook plates fabricated from low-profile titanium mini plates. Methods A prospective case series of 17 consecutive patients (average age of 32.3 years) with mallet fractures (six were Wehbe Type IB and 11 were Wehbe Type MB). Eleven (64.7%) were males. The affected hand was dominant in all patients, and the affected digit was the index in 6 (35.3%), the ring in 5 (29.4%), the small in 3 (17.65%), and the middle in 3 (17.65%) patients. The same fellowship-trained hand surgeon performed all surgeries. Results The average operative time was 37.65 minutes. After an average follow-up of 10.94 months (range 6-27), the average DIPJ motion was 50º º (range 20º-70º), the extensor lag was noted in 4 (23.5%) patients, and complications were reported in 6 (35.29%) patients. According to Crawford criteria, 6 (35.3%) patients achieved excellent results, 7 (41.2%) achieved good results, and 4 (23.5%) achieved fair results. Conclusion The modified hook plate technique for fixation of mallet fractures is a beneficiai, economical, yet demanding technique that adequately provides stable fixation to allow early DIPJ motion with acceptable functional outcomes.
Resumo Objetivo Diversas modalidades têm sido sugeridas para o tratamento de fraturas em martelo; no entanto, o tratamento inadequado pode causar retardo de extensão, deformidade em pescoço de cisne ou artrite da articulação interfalangiana distal (AIFD). Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os desfechos (funcionais, radiológicos e complicações) da redução aberta e fixação interna (RAFI) das fraturas em martelo com placas de gancho de baixo custo fabricadas com mini placas de titânio de baixo perfil. Métodos Série de casos prospectivos de 17 pacientes consecutivos (idade média de 32,3 anos) com fraturas em martelo (seis do tipo IB e 11 do tipo IIB de Wehbe). Onze (64,7%) pacientes eram do sexo masculino. A mão acometida era a dominante em todos os pacientes, com acometimento do dedo indicador em seis (35,3%), anelar em cinco (29,4%), mínimo em três (17,65%) e médio em três (17,65%) pacientes. O mesmo cirurgião de mão experiente realizou todas as cirurgias. Resultados O tempo operatório médio foi de 37,65 minutos. Após um acompanhamento médio de 10,94 meses (intervalo de 6 a 27), observou-se movimento médio da AIFD de 50º (intervalo de 20º a 70º), retardo de extensão em quatro (23,5%) pacientes e complicações em seis (35,29%) pacientes. De acordo com os critérios de Crawford, os desfechos foram excelentes em seis (35,3%), bons em sete (41,2%) e regulares em quatro (23,5%) pacientes. Conclusão A técnica da placa de gancho modificada para fixação de fraturas em martelo é benéfica e econômica, mas exigente; permite fixação estável e adequada para permitir a movimentação precoce da AIFD com desfechos funcionais aceitáveis.

Abstract Objective To review knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for the analysis of the location of neurovascular structures (NVSs), and to define the risk of bicortical fixation. Methods Distances between the posterior cortex and the popliteal NVSs were measured on the MRI scans of 45 adolescents (50 knees) at 3 levels (C1: center of the proximal tibial epiphysis; C2: 10 mm distal to the physis; and C3: 20 mm distal to the physis). The NVSs located between 5 mm and 10 mm from the incision were considered in a zone of moderate risk for damage, while those less than 5 mm from the incision were considered in a zone of high risk for damage, and those more than 10 mm from the incision were considered to be in a zone of low risk for damage. The independent Student t-test was used for the comparison of the NVS distance 0with gender, skeletal maturity, and the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance. Values of p < 0.05 were regarded as statistically significant. Results The path of the C1 screw posed an increased risk of damage to the popliteal artery and vein compared with other screw paths (p < 0.001). The popliteal artery has a high risk of damage at the level of C1 (4.2 ± 2.2mm), and a moderate risk at C2 (9.6 ± 2.4mm), and the popliteal vein has a moderate risk at C1 (6.0 ± 2.7 mm), and a low risk at C2 and C3 (10.8 ± 3.1mm, and 12.05 ± 3.1mm respectively). The C3 position presented the lowest risk of damage to these structures (p < 0.001). The distance between the posterior tibial cortex and the posterior tibial nerve was < 15 mm at the 3 levels analyzed (C1: 11.0 ± 3.7 mm; C2:13.1 ± 3.8 mm; and C3:13 ± 3.9 mm). Conclusions The present study clarifies that the popliteal vessels are at risk of injury during tibial tubercle screw fixation, particularly when drilling the proximal tibial epiphysis. Monocortical drilling and screw fixation are recommended for the surgical treatment of tibial tubercle fractures. Level of Evidence III Diagnostic study.
Resumo Objetivo Revisar estudos de ressonância magnética (RM) do joelho para análise da localização das estruturas neurovasculares (ENVs) e definição do risco de fixação bicortical. Métodos As distâncias entre o córtex posterior e as ENVs poplíteas foram medidas nas RMs de 45 adolescentes (50 joelhos) em 3 níveis (C1: centro da epífise proximal da tíbia; C2:10 mm distalmente à fise e C3: 20 mm distalmente à fise). Considerou-se que as ENVs entre 5mme10mmda incisão estavam na zona de risco moderado de lesão, as ENVs a menos de 5 mm da incisão, na zona de alto risco de lesão, e as ENVs a mais de 10 mm da incisão, na zona de baixo risco de lesão. O teste t de Student independente foi usado para comparar a distância até as ENVs com o gênero, a maturidade esquelética e a distância entre a tuberosidade tibial e a garganta (fundo) da tróclea (TT-GT). Valores de p < 0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significativos. Resultados A trajetória do parafuso em C1 apresentou maior risco de lesão à artéria e à veia poplítea em comparação com outras trajetórias (p < 0,001). A artéria poplítea apresenta risco de lesão alto em C1 (4,2 ± 2,2 mm) e moderado em C2 (9,6 ± 2,4 mm), e a veia poplítea tem risco moderado em C1 (6,0±2,7 mm) e baixo em C2 e C3 (10,8±3,1 mm e 12,05±3,1mm, respectivamente). A posição C3 apresentou o menor risco de lesão dessas estruturas (p < 0,001). A distância entre o córtex tibial posterior e o nervo tibial posterior foi inferior a 15 mm nos 3 níveis analisados (C1: 11,0±3,7mm; C2: 13,1±3,8 mm; e C3: 13±3,9mm). Conclusões Este estudo esclarece que os vasos poplíteos correm risco de lesão durante a fixação do parafuso na tuberosidade tibial, principalmente durante a perfuração da epífise proximal da tíbia. A perfuração monocortical e a fixação com parafusos são recomendadas para o tratamento cirúrgico das fraturas da tuberosidade tibial. Nível de Evidência III Estudo diagnóstico.

Objective To evaluate the prevalence of persistent pain in the postoperative period of fractures of the distal extremity of the radius, as well as to detect early signs of neuropathic pain to develop protocols for the prevention of chronic postoperative pain. Methods Prospective study, carried out with 56 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of fractures of the distal extremity of the radius with a volar locking plate from March to September 2020. The patients were submitted to assessment of neuropathic pain and functional capacity through the Douleur Neuropathique 4 questionnaire (DN4) and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick-DASH) questionnaires. Qualitative variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and their correlation was analyzed using the Spearman Correlation and Equality of Two Proportions tests. Results A total of 43 patients aged between 18 and 66 years old were included in the present study; 39.5% of the participants scored ≥ 4 on the DN4 questionnaire. In relation to Quick-DASH, the average was 38.6. There was no statistically significant difference between the gender of the patient and the DN4 value ( p = 0.921). There was also no statistical correlation between the quantitative variables DN4 and Quick-DASH ( p = 0.061). Conclusions The prevalence of neuropathic pain in analyzed postoperative patients was significant, and the presence of signs and symptoms of neuropathic pain was a positive predictive factor for pain persistence beyond 2 months in 100% of cases. Thus, with early diagnosis of the neuropathic component of pain, associated with the nociceptive component, adequate pain control can be achieved, preventing its chronicity, and ensuring better rehabilitation.
RESUMO
Objective: evaluate the functional treatment outcome of deviated transverse olecranon fractures (Mayo 2A) after treatment with tension-banded intramedullary screw (PIBT) compared to classical tension band (BTC). Methods: Prospectively collect all deviated transverse olecranon fractures from 2012 to 2016 and randomize them into PIBT and BTC groups. Range of motion (ROM) was measured after 2 and 5 weeks, 3 and 6 months, and 1 and 2 years. Functional assessments (DASH, Oxford Elbow Score, and Mayo Elbow Performance Index) were performed after 3 and 6 months and 1 and 2 years. Complications were collected up to 2 years of follow-up. Results: 22 patients were included, 11 in each group. The mean age was 47.9 years, and the left side was injured in 13 (59.0%) patients. All patients completed the 2-year follow-up. There was no ROM difference at any time between the two groups (p> 0.005). Flexion and extension gain was maximum at three months and remained unchanged until two years. Neither flexion nor extension returned to normal, missing around 10°. Pronation and supination returned to normal. All three functional scores showed almost complete recovery of elbow function after three months postoperatively, with no difference between the groups. No group had complications, no reoperation, and no implant removal. Conclusion: PIBT had similar results in ROM and functional score compared to BTC. Both had low complication rates and no need for implant removal. Level of evidence I; Randomized Trial .
Objetivo: Avaliar o resultado funcional do tratamento das fraturas transversas desviadas do olécrano (Mayo 2A) após o tratamento com parafuso intramedular com banda de tensão (PIBT) em comparação com a banda de tensão clássica (BTC). Métodos: Foram coletados prospectivamente todas as fraturas transversas do olécrano desviadas de 2012 a 2016 e randomizá-las em dois grupos: PIBT e BTC. A amplitude de movimento (ADM) foi medida após 2 e 5 semanas, 3 e 6 meses e 1 e 2 anos. As avaliações funcionais (DASH, Oxford Elbow Score e Mayo Elbow Performance Index) foram realizadas após 3 e 6 meses e 1 e 2 anos. As complicações foram coletadas até 2 anos de acompanhamento. Resultados: Foram incluídos 22 pacientes, 11 em cada grupo. A idade média foi de 47,9 anos, e o lado esquerdo foi lesado em 13 (59,0%) pacientes. Todos os pacientes completaram o acompanhamento de 2 anos. Não houve diferença na ADM em nenhum momento entre os dois grupos (p> 0,005). O ganho de flexão e extensão foi máximo aos 3 meses e permaneceu inalterado até 2 anos. Nem a flexão nem a extensão voltaram ao normal, faltando em torno de 10º. A pronação e a supinação voltaram ao normal. Todos os três escores funcionais mostraram uma recuperação quase completa da função do cotovelo após 3 meses de pós-operatório, sem diferença entre os grupos. Nenhum grupo apresentou complicações, nem reoperação ou retirada do implante. Conclusão: O PIBT teve resultados semelhantes na ADM e pontuação funcional em comparação com o BTC. Ambos tiveram baixas taxas de complicações e não há necessidade de remover implantes. Nível de evidência I; Estudo clínico randomizado.
RESUMO
Objective: Radiographically evaluate the quality of reduction over six weeks of follow-up in patients with surgically treated deviated acetabular fractures who underwent rehabilitation with immediate loading as tolerated and compare this with the results of the unloaded protocol. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the records of 137 patients with deviated acetabular fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Sixty-six (48.2%) patients underwent postoperative rehabilitation with immediate loading as tolerated, while 71 (51.8%) patients completed rehabilitation using a no-load protocol. The quality of the reduction was assessed radiographically by measuring the fracturing step and gap on radiographs taken immediately after surgery and three and six weeks after surgery. Results: Comparing the joint step, group 1 had an average of 0.44 ± 1.4 mm, 0.47 ± 1.5 mm, and 0.51 ± 1.6 mm immediately, three and six weeks after surgery, respectively. Group 2 had a mean step of 0.24 ± 0.8 mm, 0.27 ± 0.9 mm, and 0.37 ± 1.2 mm immediately, three, and six weeks after surgery. No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups. With a joint gap, group 1 had a mean of 1.89 ± 1.7 mm, 2.12 ± 1.8 mm, and 2.36 ± 2.1 mm; and group 2 had a mean of 2.16 ± 2.4 mm, 2.47 ± 2.6 mm, and 2.67 ± 2.8 mm in the immediate postoperative period, three, and six weeks, respectively. There was also no statistical difference between groups in these measurements. Conclusion: Immediate loading after surgical treatment of deviated acetabular fracture had no negative impact on radiographic reduction parameters and had similar results to the protocol without weight bearing. Level of evidence III; Therapeutic Retrospective Cohort Study .
Objetivo: Avaliar radiograficamente a qualidade da redução ao longo de 6 semanas de acompanhamento em pacientes com fratura desviada do acetábulo tratados cirurgicamente e submetidos à reabilitação com carga imediata conforme tolerado e comparar com os resultados do protocolo sem carga. Métodos: Avaliamos retrospectivamente os prontuários de 137 pacientes com fraturas desviadas do acetábulo que foram tratadas com redução aberta e fixação interna. Sessenta e seis (48,2%) pacientes foram submetidos à reabilitação pós-operatória com carga imediata conforme tolerado, enquanto 71 (51,8%) pacientes completaram a reabilitação utilizando um protocolo sem carga. A qualidade da redução foi avaliada radiograficamente pela medição do degrau da fratura e do gap nas radiografias feitas imediatamente após a cirurgia e três e seis semanas após a cirurgia. Resultados: Comparando o degrau articular, o grupo 1 teve uma média de 0,44 ± 1,4 mm, 0,47 ± 1,5 mm e 0,51 ± 1,6 mm imediatamente, três e seis semanas após a cirurgia, respectivamente. O grupo 2 teve um degrau médio de 0,24 ± 0,8 mm, 0,27 ± 0,9 mm e 0,37 ± 1,2 mm imediatamente, três e seis semanas após a cirurgia. Não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas significantes entre os grupos. Com gap articular, o grupo 1 teve uma média de 1,89 ± 1,7 mm, 2,12 ± 1,8 mm e 2,36 ± 2,1 mm; e o grupo 2 de 2,16 ± 2,4 mm, 2,47 ± 2,6 mm e 2,67 ± 2,8 mm nos pós-operatório imediato, três e seis semanas, respectivamente. Também não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos nessas medidas. Conclusão: A carga imediata após o tratamento cirúrgico da fratura do acetábulo desviada não teve impacto negativo nos parâmetros de redução radiográfica e teve resultados semelhantes em comparação com o protocolo sem descarga de peso.
