Disociación espino-pélvica : a propósito de un caso
Spinopelvic dissociation is a relatively unknown injury, probably underdiagnosed. The term is applied to those fractures of the sacrum which combines a transverse fracture with sagittal fracture in both sacral wings, resulting in a mechanical separation between the spine and the pelvis. It?s really important to be alert in a high energy multiple trauma. The treatment of choice, except exceptions, is surgery. About associated complications, we must detect preoperative neurological injury of these patients due to it will be the main determinant of the long-term prognosis. The objective of this review it is to introduce this rare pathology with important implications through a clinical case.
Artroplastia total de codo tras fractura de húmero distal en ancianos. Revisión de casos.
Osteosynthesis is the gold standard in most distal humerus fractures but in elderly patients, arthroplasty may be a better option. The aim of the study was to assess our results with total elbow arthroplasty after acute distal humerus fracture in the elderly. Retrospective study to evaluate clinical and functional results plus complications of all patients from our hospital with a total elbow arthroplasty performed for acute distal humeral fracture. 18 patients were included with a mean age of 77 years (63-87). The mean postoperative range of motion was 89º and the average MEPS and DASH score 80 and 26 respectively. There were 4 complications (22%) and no reoperations. Total elbow arthropla…
