Resonancia nuclear magnética en roturas del ligamento cruzado anterior : sensibilidad y concordancia con hallazgos artroscópicos
To estimate the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic test in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, as well as its correlation with arthroscopic findings. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 270 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction surgery in our health department between 2007 and 2017. ACL injuries were diagnosed by radiologists specialized in musculoskeletal pathology, while the correlation between radiological and arthroscopic findings was determined through statistical analysis. Results. The sensitivity of the MRI regarding diagnosis of ACL injuries was 88.5%. In addition, the correlation between radiologic and arthroscopic findings was 73.3%. In 71% o…

Osteoporosis en alcoholismo crónico : un problema infravalorado. Incidencia y complicaciones de las fracturas en el paciente alcohólico
Main goal. To estimate the incidence of pathologic fractures and associated complications in patients in follow-up for moderate to severe chronic alcoholism by the Unidad de Conductas Adictivas (UCA) of our health area. To highlight the importance of recognizing osteoporosis in patients with chronic alcoholism in order to establish strategies for prevention of both primary and secondary fractures. Material and methods. Retrospective analysis of patients in follow-up for chronic alcoholism by the UCA between 2014 and 2018 that required assessment by the Orthopedics Unit for fractures during that period, excluding fractures in the context of politraumatism. In addition, the complications deri…
