App Rodilla para especialistas en traumatología y cirugía ortopédica

El doctor Alberto Sánchez, especialista en Traumatología y Cirugía Ortopédica de la Unidad de Artroscopia del Hospital de Galdakao ha diseñado estaaplicación para móviles dirigida a los profesionales de la salud, que también puede resultar útil a los pacientes que quieran hacer una consulta práctica de los tratamientos disponibles, así como de algunos consejos prácticos para la rehabilitación.

La app Rodilla ofrece información básica y avanzada sobre la patología de esta articulación, abarcando desde las lesiones en pacientes de pediatría hasta los de la edad adulta. Esta herramienta puede resultar de gran utilidad como guía en los servicios de urgencia, y como consulta rápida para residentes y traumatólogos especializados en cirugía de rodilla y artroscopia.

El doctor Sánchez fue ganador de la categoría de mejor proyecto en el ámbito hospitalario de losPremios Innoba en 2012, gracias a su aplicación Hombro, que ofrece información actualizada en castellano sobre las patologías que pueden afectar a esta articulación.

El contenido de la app Rodilla está dividido en varios apartados, la mayoría de ellos acompañados con imágenes e ilustraciones explicativas. Además la aplicación cuenta con un vademécum con los fármacos utilizados en las patologías de rodilla, así como con la posibilidad de dibujar sobre plantillas específicas, ya sea para explicar una intervención a los pacientes como para planificar una cirugía.

La aplicación está disponible desde el pasado abril para Android, iPhone y iPad.

Favorable preliminary results reported with radiolucent implant for proximal humerus fracture treatment

Favorable preliminary results reported with radiolucent implant for proximal humerus fracture treatment

• May 19, 2014

NEW YORK — Researchers of a retrospective review presented at the International Society for Fracture Repair Meeting, here, showed use of a novel, radiolucent carbon fiber plate for proximal humerus fractures resulted in anatomic or near anatomic reduction in most cases, and one case each of loss of tuberosity fixation and humeral head settling with secondary screw penetration.

“The reduction accuracy was determined to be anatomic or near anatomic in 14 cases, and there were three cases with either varus or extension malreduction,” Hak said.  Radiographic results revealed no loss of fixation and no evidence of implant failure.

“One case had humeral head settling secondary to screw penetration that occurred in a 65-year-old woman with known osteoporosis,” Hak said. This fracture was also supplemented with calcium phosphate cement for humeral head fixation, he noted. – by Gina Brockenbrough, MA

Abstract

The anteroposterior (AP) stability of standard anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, referred to as “vertical,” was compared with that of a modified femoral position, referred to as “horizontal,” which is lower than and anterior to an operative knee at 90° flexion. Two consecutive series of 50 patients underwent vertical and horizontal arthroscopic single-bundle ACL reconstruction, respectively. For vertical reconstruction, the clock position was chosen, placing the graft at 10:30 in right knees and 1:30 in left knees, 1 to 2 mm anterior to the posterior femoral cortical cortex and at the back of the resident ridge. In the horizontal reconstruction, the transplant replaced the original ligament insertion at approximately the 9:30 o’clock position in right knees and the 2:30 o’clock position in left knees, approximately 2 mm in front of the posterior femoral cortical cortex. One year after surgery, the results of stabilometric evaluation revealed good performance after horizontal transplant. The mean clinical results changed from 1.0 (±1.3) mm for vertical to 0.7 (±1.3) mm for horizontal reconstruction. [Orthopedics. 2014; 37(5):321–324.]

Smoking Synthetic Marijuana Leads to Self-Mutilation Requiring Bilateral Amputations

Smoking Synthetic Marijuana Leads to Self-Mutilation Requiring Bilateral Amputations

Abstract

Synthetic cannabinoids have become a worldwide epidemic because they provide a sometimes legal, easily accessible, and presumably safe alternative to marijuana. Recently published reports have linked acute psychosis, myocardial infarctions, convulsions, self-harm, and even terrorist organizations to these designer substances. This case report outlines the first reported case of Black Diamond, a synthetic cannabis, leading to a self-inflicted burn to the bilateral upper extremities requiring a transradial amputation of the right arm and a toe transfer procedure of the left hand after loss of all digits. The patient presented to the emergency department with self-inflicted fourth-degree burns to the bilateral hands and forearms with second-degree burns of the face, for a total body surface area of 14.5%. The patient was found by firefighters with his hands aflame on his kitchen stove. With no previous medical or psychiatric history and collateral information to confirm the patient’s mental status prior to use of Black Diamond, the patient’s acute psychotic episode was attributed to Black Diamond. After multiple procedures and a lengthy recovery, the patient completed his post-graduate education and entered the professional world. As orthopedic surgeons, we should be involved in educating the public on the harm of these designer drugs, including self-mutilation. The popularity of synthetic drugs in the United States will continue to present a major challenge to all health care providers. Orthopedists are on the front lines of this epidemic because these drugs push patients into risky, traumatic behavior.

Similar recurrence rates seen after curettage with local adjuvants for giant cell tumor of bone

Similar recurrence rates seen after curettage with local adjuvants for giant cell tumor of bone

van der Heijden L. J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2014;doi:10.2106/JBJS.M.00516.

• March 19, 2014

Function and recurrence rates were similar between patients with giant cell tumors of bone treated with combinations of either phenol and polymethylmethacrylate, liquid nitrogen and polymethylmethacrylate or liquid nitrogen and bone grafts.

“Treatment of giant cell tumor of bone remains challenging, as recurrence rates remain relatively high after curettage with local adjuvants,” the authors wrote in the study. “Functional outcome was excellent in all cohorts, making the relatively high recurrence rates acceptable.”

Computer-guided spinal surgery may be the future for treatment

Computer-guided spinal surgery may be the future for treatment

• April 11, 2014

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have used a new method of computer-guided spine surgery system for spinal reconstruction and to treat complex tumors and degenerative spine problems. According to a press release, a recent study they conducted showed this system resulted in fewer complications and better outcomes for patients.

 “This approach represents a major leap forward for instrumented spine surgery,” Terrence T. Kim, MD, an orthopedic spine surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Spine Center and an expert in the computer-guided navigation field, stated. “We’re looking at the future.”

Radiofrecuencia pulsada en el alivio del dolor neuropático en pacientes con cáncer óseo

Radiofrecuencia pulsada en el alivio del dolor neuropático en pacientes con cáncer óseo

Pulsed radiofrequency therapy for relieving neuropathic bone pain in cancer patients.  Lin WL, Lin BF, Cherng CH, Huh BK, Ma HI, Lin SL, Wong CS, Yeh CC.  J Med Sci [serial online] 2014 [cited 2014 May 5];34:84-7. Abstract Metastatic bone pain is among the most commonly reported pain conditions in cancer patients and pharmacological therapy frequently fails to provide satisfactory pain relief. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a minimally invasive procedure and may be an effective alternative. However, there is little published data evaluating PRF treatment of metastatic pain. PRF therapy of select lumbar dorsal root ganglia was performed on two patients suffering from uncontrolled metastatic lumbar bone pain. After PRF therapy, the patients reported markedly improved back pain, and the effect lasted for months until they deceased. No complications or adverse events were noted from this minimally invasive procedure. PRF may be considered a potential intervention in treating certain neuropathic cancer pain conditions.
