Objetivos: Describir los resultados radiográficos, funcionales y las complicaciones de la cirugía percutánea en pacientes con fracturas de calcáneo tipo IIC de Sanders en lengüeta. Materiales y Métodos: Se evaluaron 9 fracturas articulares de calcáneo desplazadas en 9 pacientes con radiografías de pie, de frente y de perfil, y tomografía computarizada preoperatorias. Se tomaron radiografías de pie, de frente y perfil, sin carga en el posoperatorio inmediato y con carga a las semanas 6 y 12, y al final del seguimiento. Se midió el ángulo de Böhler y se cuantificó el grado de artrosis subastragalina y calcaneocuboidea. Se evaluaron las siguientes variables: puntaje AOFAS, complicaciones de la herida, lesión neurológica y necesidad de cirugías adicionales, como retiro del material de osteosíntesis y artrodesis subtalar. Resultados: El seguimiento fue de 21.1 meses. La edad promedio de los pacientes (3 mujeres y 6 hombres) era de 42 ± 12. El ángulo de Böhler preoperatorio fue de 7º (±6,2º) y de 33,6º (±4,1°) en el posoperatorio final (p

Introducción: Las técnicas para corregir las deformidades del hallux incluyen osteotomías metatarsianas y falángicas. Las osteotomías sobre la falange proximal corrigen el DASA y el ángulo interfalángico. Sin embargo, no se han publicado las indicaciones para la osteotomía de la falange distal. El objetivo de este artículo es comunicar la técnica y las indicaciones de la osteotomía percutánea de la falange distal del hallux, y evaluar los resultados de una serie de casos. Materiales y Métodos: Se analizaron 14 pies en los que se realizó una osteotomía de la falange distal del hallux para corregir una deformidad. Se midieron el DASA, la oblicuidad interfalángica y el ángulo falange distal-interfalángico en las radiografías. La técnica quirúrgica fue percutánea con control fluoroscópico. Los resultados se evaluaron mediante las escalas analógica visual de dolor y AOFAS. Seguimiento medio: 52 meses. Resultados: 13 pies de mujeres y un pie de hombre. Edad promedio: 58 años. Los resultados clínico y estético fueron excelentes, con alivio del dolor. Mejoría de la escala AOFAS: promedio 37 puntos. Análisis comparativo de ángulos preoperatorios y posoperatorios: DASA (p = 0,01), excepto cuando se aisló de la muestra a los pacientes con osteotomía tipo Akin (p = 0,33); ángulos F2-IF y F2-MTF (p

Introducción: Existen múltiples tratamientos quirúrgicos del hallux valgus. El propósito de este estudio fue comparar los resultados radiográficos de corrección angular y su mantenimiento a mediano plazo, entre dos técnicas percutáneas: MICA y Bösch. Materiales y Métodos: Análisis prospectivo comparativo de pacientes sometidos a cirugía de hallux valgus mediante dos técnicas percutáneas (grupo Bösch: 42 pies, grupo MICA: 36 pies). Se compararon las correcciones de los ángulos IM, MTF y AMD, y el poder de corrección de ambas osteotomías y su mantenimiento a mediano plazo. Se registraron las complicaciones posoperatorias. Seguimiento mínimo: 6 meses. Resultados: La corrección promedio de los ángulos IM, MTF y AMD fue: 20,22°; 7,74°; 8,26° a los 6 meses en el grupo Bösch; y de 15,8°; 1,6° y 1,98° en el grupo MICA. El potencial de corrección IM fue mayor en el grupo Bösch. No hubo diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en cuanto a la pérdida de corrección entre las 6 semanas y los 6 meses, salvo el ángulo MTF en el grupo MICA. La corrección del ángulo AMD fue mejor en el tiempo con la técnica MICA. Hubo 4 complicaciones con la técnica MICA y 8 con la técnica de Bösch. Conclusiones: Ambas técnicas logran una corrección adecuada del hallux valgus moderado. Sin embargo, el poder de corrección del ángulo IM a mediano plazo fue mayor con la técnica de Bösch. En el otro grupo, aunque se perdió la corrección del ángulo MTF entre las 6 semanas y los 6 meses, los valores se mantuvieron dentro de los 20° de valgo MTF. Nivel de Evidencia: II

El fin de este trabajo es dejar precedentes del inicio y evolución de la cirugía percutánea en nuestro país ya que se ha convertido en un arma más que ofrecer al paciente, probablemente una de las intervenciones más beneficiosas en términos de complicaciones y altas tasas de buenos resultados. El inicio en el país data desde 1981 siendo prácticamente paralela al inicio a nivel mundial de estas técnicas. Actualmente esta técnica se encuentra ampliamente aceptada y se practica en centros públicos, del interior y la capital, así como en centros privados.

Introduction and Aim: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) of the spine prevents the collapse of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) with lower complication and bleeding rates than open surgery. However, the possibility of hidden blood loss (HBL) has been recently described, referring to the loss of blood diffused into tissues and lost through hemolysis. This study aimed to estimate the postoperative impact of HBL in patients undergoing MIS for OVF., Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of a series of patients who had MIS for OVF. A descriptive analysis of recorded variables was performed, and total blood volume, total bleeding, HBL, and hemoglobine drop were calculated. This was followed by a comparative analysis between HBL (<500ml vs. ≥500ml) and the variables of hospital stay and postoperative evolution. Binary logistic regression models were performed to rule out confounding factors., Results: A total of 40 patients were included, 8 men and 32 women, with a mean age of 76.6 years. The mean HBL was 682.5ml. An HBL greater than 500ml is found to be an independent risk factor for torpid postoperative evolution (P=0.035), while it does not predict a longer hospital stay (P=0.116). In addition, a higher HBL was observed in surgeries of greater technical complexity and longer surgical time., Conclusions: Although MIS techniques have shown less intraoperative bleeding than open surgery, HBL should be diagnosed because it is associated with a torpid evolution. The use of a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm may help minimize its impact., (Copyright © 2023 SECOT. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Introduction: Since William Clancy (1979) and Richard Ferkel (1997) publications, the technique of peroneal groove deepening in patients with chronic dislocation, has been used with very satisfactory results and few complications. The aim of the present study is to describe a new minimally invasive technique of peroneal groove deepening with burs and specific percutaneous surgery instrumentation and without fibula osteotomy; and to evaluate the clinical and imaging results, in 5 patients operated with this technique. Material and methods: A retrospective study of 5 patients with clinical and imaging diagnosis of chronic dislocation of peroneal tendons. They were treated with minimally invasive technique. This technique was described in this paper. Results were evaluated by preoperative and postoperative AOFAS score and by images (dynamic ultrasound, TAC and RMN). Results: None of the treated patients presented dislocation recurrence or pain at the time of evaluation. The AOFAS score improved an average of 25.5 points and was statistically significant (p value< 0.001). In the images we observed a concavity of the groove in all the evaluated cases. Conclusions: This minimally invasive technique of deepening the groove of the peroneal tendons is reproducible, has reduced operating times compared to open surgery and has excellent results. This is a noninvasive treatment alternative for dislocation of peroneal tendons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cirugía percutánea del pie: ¿hacia dónde debemos ir?

Background and Objective: The gold standard of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) treatment is the section of the transverse carpal ligament, the most common technique being the palmar cutaneous incision. Percutaneous techniques have been developed, although their risk/benefit ratio remains controversial., Objective: To analyze the functional outcome of patients undergoing CTS percutaneously ultrasound-guided and compare it with those of open surgery., Material and Method: Prospective observational cohort study of 50 patients undergoing CTS (25 percutaneous with WALANT technique and 25 by open surgery with local anesthesia and tourniquet). Open surgery was performed using a short palmar incision. The percutaneous technique was performed anterograde using the Kemis® H3 scalpel (Newclip). A preoperative and postoperative assessment was performed at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months. Demographic data, presence of complications, grip strength and Levine test score (BCTQ) were collected., Results: The sample consists of 14 men and 36 women with a mean age of 51.4 years (95% CI: 48.4-54.5). Percutaneous technique was performed anterograde using the Kemis® H3 scalpel (Newclip). All patients improved from their CTS clinic without obtaining statistically significant differences in BCTQ score, nor in the presence of complications (p> 0.05). Patients operated on percutaneously recovered faster grip strength at 6 weeks, but it was similar in the final review., Conclusions: In view of the results obtained, percutaneous ultrasound-guided surgery is a good alternative for the surgical treatment of CTS. Logically, this technique requires its learning curve and familiarization with the ultrasound visualization of the anatomical structures to be treated., (Copyright © 2022 SECOT.

Epicondylitis is common in young patients and athletes. It is usually addressed with uneffective or very aggressive treatments. Due to the recurrence of the condition and the disability it causes its management is very demanding. Methods: Five patients ages 30-45 years with diagnosis of epicondylitis were treated and followedup. An outpatient procedure was performed under general anesthesia consisting of percutaneous release of the annular ligament and injection of 5cc of platelet rich plasma from the patient following the centrifugation of a blood sample. Following the injection the patient was referred to physical therapy and rehabilitation with a specific program consisting of isotonic exercises aimed at muscle strengthening. Results: At the two-week follow-up, important subsidence of symptoms was reported, with full ranges of motion, intact muscle strength, and full resumption of daily life and sports activities. Conclusions: This alternative method is a good and not very invasive option for patients with epicondylitis, and it may help avoid surgical treatment. An appropriate rehabilitation program contributes to optimize the results and helps patients return sooner to their activities of daily living. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To analyse the radiological outcomes in the long term of unstable thoracic and lumbar fractures treated through percutaneous surgery., Material and Methods: Retrospective review of a series of patients with unstable thoracic and lumbar fractures treated with percutaneous minimally invasive surgery between 2010 and 2015 in three different hospital centres. Six radiological parameters were measured annually during a 2-year period: Fracture angle, kyphotic deformity, sagittal index, percentage of compression, degree of displacement and deformation angle., Results: A total of 37 patients were included with a median age of 41.3 years and a median follow-up period of 2.2 years. Fracture angle rose from 14.8° to 17.1° (increase of 15.54%), kyphotic deformity from 15.9° to 17.7° (increase of 11.32%), sagittal index from 10.1 to 12.3 (increase of 21.78%), percentage of compression from 32.7% to 36.8% (increase of 12.53%), degree of displacement from 3.0mm to 4.4mm (increase of 50%) and deformation angle from 20.7° to 22.9° (increase of 10.62%)., Conclusions: All the radiological parameters studied lost correction throughout the 24 months of follow-up; the degree of displacement and the sagittal index were the most marked. Nevertheless, the greatest loss of correction occurred in the first postoperative year, the parameters then stabilised over the 24 months of follow up. We routinely recommend the measurement of all previous parameters for the follow up of unstable thoracic and lumbar fractures treated through percutaneous surgery., (Copyright © 2017 Sociedad Española de Neurocirugía.
