Músculo ancóneo epitroclear. Una infrecuente causa de neuropatía cubital del codo
The entrapment neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is a frequent pathology with a variety of etiologies. One of them is the presence of an accessory muscle, such as the anconeus epitrochlearis. Although this muscle is frequently found in the general population, it is a rare cause of nerve compression. Despite its similarity to the idiopathic form, there are certain features that may suggest that the compression is due to this accessory muscle. This work reports a representative case in which the anconeus epitrochlearis was discovered during the surgical intervention.
Comparación de los requerimientos de sangre y estancia hospitalaria tras la implantación del protocolo fast track en prótesis total de rodilla.
Objectives. To analyse the differences in blood requirements and length of stay in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty during the period before and after the implementation of the fast track protocol. Material and methods. Retrospective observational follow-up study or cohorts. The variables under study were: initial and minimum haemoglobin, number of patients and units transfused and days of hospital stay. For the comparisons, the chi-square and U-Mann Whitney statistics were calculated. Values of p?0.05 were considered significant. Results. A sample of 189 patients was studied. The pre- and post-implementation values for the variables under study were: minimum haemoglobin 10.2 vs.…
