Internal rotation contracture of the shoulder is a common complication in children with brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP), causing early functional limitation and glenohumeral dysplasia. Arthroscopic arthrolysis has recently been described as a treatment for the sequelae of this condition. Review of five patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze functional and radiologic results of a consecutive series of elderly patients who underwent uncemented hemiarthroplasty as primary treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures. Methods: Twenty-one patients with severe proximal humerus fracture (three or four fragments and three- or four-fra...

To study postoperative complications of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction performed as an outpatient compared with same surgery performed as a regular admission (inpatient). A study was conducted on a historical cohort of 342 patients (115 outpatients vs 227 inpatients) who underwent arthroscopic ACL primary ligamentoplas...

Ipsilateral fracture of the femur and tibia, or floating knee, is a rare injury that is found almost exclusively in polytrauma or high-energy trauma patients. It presents a combination of diaphyseal, metaphyseal and intra-articular fractures of the femur and tibia, with a high incidence of neurovascular, ligamentous and soft-tissue injuries. The fu...

Objectives: Review clinical results of the treatment for acetabular fractures using the pararectus approach and analyze surgical variations of the traditional approach. Design: Retrospective. Setting: Tertiary referral hospital. Patients: 46 patients over 65 years of age who sustained an acetabular fracture and underwent surgery using the pa...

3D printing (I3D) is an additive manufacturing technology with a growing interest in medicine and especially in the specialty of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology. There are numerous applications that add value to the personalised treatment of patients: advanced preoperative planning, surgeries with specific tools for each patient, customised or...

Introduction Periprosthetic humerus fractures are infrequent and sometimes difficult to treat. There is limited literature and no consensus on the handling of these fractures. The objective of this study was to compare our results with those published in the literature, in order to improve our care and propose a management algorithm. Material and...

Introduction The incidence of periprosthetic fractures of the knee is increasing due to the increase in the number of total knee arthroplasties performed, together with population aging. We found few studies that analyze mortality in our setting after surgery. Our objective was to evaluate mortality and survival after surgical treatment of peripros...

Talar fractures are uncommon lesions (0.1–0.9%) and have a high rate of complications. One of the situations in which a fracture of the talus can occur is in the context of polytrauma which may further compromise the functional prognosis. The aim of this study was to analyse the functional results in patients with talar fractures whether or not the...

Resumen Las fracturas de astrágalo son lesiones poco frecuentes (0,1-0,9%) y con un alto índice de complicaciones. Una de las situaciones en las que puede darse una fractura de astrágalo es en el contexto de un politraumatismo, lo que puede comprometer aún más el pronóstico funcional. El objetivo del presente trabajo ha sido analizar los resultados...

Background: Among several techniques proposed for the reconstruction of posttraumatic bone defects of the forearm, that of free vascularised fibular graft (FVFG) is one of the most widely used. Patients and method: We study the long-term outcomes of 14 patients who underwent FVFG between 1994 and 2009, with a minimum follow up of 8 years and a m...

The most common cause of post-traumatic pelvic asymmetry is, by far, initial nonoperative treatment. Open reduction and internal fixation of unstable pelvic fractures are recommended to avoid pelvic nonunion or subsequent structural deformities. The most common symptom is pelvic pain. Pelvic instability is another symptom, as well as persistent uro...

Objective To determine the incidence of infection after instrumented lumbar spine surgery, the demographic and surgical variables associated with acute infection, and the influence of infection and debridement on the consolidation of spinal fusion. Methods After obtaining approval from the hospital ethics committee, an observational study was made...

La planificación preoperatoria es una acción fundamental y rutinaria dentro del proceso de cualquier intervención quirúrgica. Gracias a la planificación preoperatoria el cirujano puede realizar la intervención de forma más previsible y con más garantías de obtener mejores resultados clínicos. Encontramos numerosas publicaciones sobre planificación...

Periarticular fractures around the knee are a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. When these fractures are presented in the context of a multiple trauma patient, they are even more difficult to manage because the treatment approach depends not only on the fracture itself, but also on the patient’s general condition. These fractures, caused by hi...

The high prevalence of trapezio-metacarpal joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis leads to develop techniques to improve surgical outcomes when conservative treatment has failed. We have evaluated 18 patients with Eaton III TMJ osteoarthritis, who underwent an arthrodesis. Using a dorsal-radial curved shaped skin incision the TMJ was exposed through the space...
