Fracturas de fémur distal en población geriátrica: Evaluación de estadía hospitalaria y morbimortalidad

Rev.Chil Ortop Traumatol; 65 (1), 2024
INTRODUCCION Las fracturas de fémur distal (FFD) son un problema importante de salud pública. Con el envejecimiento de la población, se espera un incremento de esta lesión en los próximos años. Objetivo Describir las complicaciones y la mortalidad de las FFD en un grupo de pacientes geriátricos. M...

Stability of Proximal Femoral Osteotomies in Pediatric Bone Models Fixed with Flexible Intramedullary Nails and Evaluated by the Finite Element Method

Abstract Objective To evaluate the stability of osteotomies created in the subtrochanteric and trochanteric regions in a pediatric femur model fixed by flexible intramedullary rods. Methods Tomographic sections were obtained from a pediatric femur model with two elastic titanium rods and converted to a...

Reparación quirúrgica de fracturas de fémur distal con biomodelos impresos 3D
Surgical repair of distal femur fractures with 3D printed biomodels

Introducción: Las fracturas complejas de fémur distal AO/AOT tipo 33C3.3 constituyen un reto para los ortopedistas debido a la dificultad de su tratamiento y las complicaciones asociadas. El planeamiento y procedimiento quirúrgicos emplean placas condilares, pero estas se asocian a la pérdida de la f...

Fracture in Irradiated Rat Femur: A Description of an Experimental Model and Evaluation of its Effectiveness

Abstract Objective We aim to describe an experimental model for studying femoral fractures in rats after exposure to ionizing radiation, demonstrating a way to apply a substance for analysis, the method for patterning fracture and irradiation, and how to evaluate its effectiveness based on radiographic ...

Factors Associated with Readmission within 30 Days after Discharge and In-Hospital Mortality after Proximal Femoral Fracture Surgery in the Elderly: Retrospective Cohort

Abstract Objective To evaluate the factors associated with readmission within 30 days after discharge (R30) and in-hospital mortality (IHM) in elderly patients undergoing proximal femur fracture surgery (PFF). Methods Retrospective cohort with data from 896 medical records of elderly (≥ 60 years)...

Ventana cortical anterior para extracción de vástago en revisión de artroplastia total de cadera: una alternativa a la osteotomía trocantérica extendida

Rev. méd. Maule; 37 (2), 2022
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a safe and effective procedure in patients with end-stage ostheoarthritis. In the last years the indication for THA is increasingly in younger patients, associated with rising of life expectancy, this imply an increase in revision surgeries for various causes such as: asep...

Management of Bone Failure in Fracture of the Distal Region of the Femur Using the Masquelet Technique with Fibula Graft Associated with Iliac-Crest Graft: Report of Two Cases

Abstract Two cases of bone failure after fracture of the distal region of the femur treated with the Masquelet technique are presented. The first case involves acute bone loss, and the second, pseudarthrosis. The proper management of these lesions led to consolidation and a good functional result....

Atypical femur fractures associated with chronic bisphosphonates use: A case series with 66 patients

Abstract Objective The present study aims to describe outcomes from a series of surgically treated patients with atypical femoral fracture due to bisphosphonates use, in addition to correlate the time of previous medication use with fracture consolidation time, and to compare the consolidation time of c...

Fractura de fémur distal asociada con una lesión del tendón cuadricipital: reporte de dos casos
Fractures of the distal femur associated with a complete quadricipital tendon injury: report of two cases

Las fracturas de fémur distal, especialmente las abiertas, se asocian con traumas de alta energía. Las lesiones asociadas al-rededor de la rodilla son frecuentes; sin embargo, la asociación con una lesión completa del tendón cuadricipital ha sido poco documentada. El diagnóstico t...

Osteosíntesis con placa helicoidal en las fracturas de fémur distal
Helical plate osteosynthesis in distal femur fractures

Introducción: En pacientes con fracturas de fémur distal con alto grado de conminución metafisaria (AO 33 C2, C3) y fracturas periprotésicas (Vancouver tipo C), el uso de doble osteosíntesis brinda mayor estabilidad a la fractura. Las placas helicoidales se emplean cada vez más con el objetivo de e...
