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.

Uso de impresión digital 3D con material densidad calcio para la corrección de una deformidad grave de húmero proximal.A propósito de un caso

The use of 3D printing technology is very useful in surgery for treating fractures and several other orthopaedic surgeries. In this case we describe the pre-surgical planning of very severe deformity of proximal humerus secondary to an epiphysiolisis in an 8 year old girl with a calcium density model. It is based on a digital printing of the bone with calcium density material, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been dealt with so far. This has allowed us to carry out a previous radiological analysis and better planning. This surgery has resulted in successful correction and has saved surgical time. The functionality of the patient was improved and a correction of the cervical-diap…
