[Medial discoid meniscus in a pediatric patient. Case report and review of the literature].

Discoid meniscus is a congenital morphological variant of the meniscus, which tends to occur more frequently in its lateral form than in the medial form. This anomaly is characterized by central hypertrophy of the meniscus and a larger diameter than the normal meniscus, resulting in an abnormal shape and greater coverage of the tibial plateau. The clinical presentation of this condition varies depending on the stability of the meniscus.

Bilateral mirror hand: 2-year follow-up and literature review.

Introduction: Mirror hand syndrome is a very rare congenital deformity, also called cubital dimelia, characterized by the absence of the thumb, as well as the duplication of the fingers in a symmetrical image and, in some cases, with a duplication of the bones of the forearm.

Methods: The current treatment consists of a thumb reconstruction through thumb pollicization, although there are alternatives such as rotating osteotomy, syndactylization or conservative treatment. In this article we present the case of a girl with a non-classic bilateral mirror hand, the clinical and radiological findings, the bilateral surgical technique in two surgical times with six months of difference and two years follow-up.

[Installed Capacity Perception Survey for the Training of Residents Program in Orthopedics and Care Needs in Acute and Chronic Musculoskeletal Pathology in Mexico].

Introduction: It is essential that orthopaedic resident physicians be highly proficient in all aspects, considering the balance between supply, demand, need and context. Fundamental to identify the capacity and quality installed for their training in Mexico.

Material And Methods: Observational Study, transverse, non-probabilistic sampling-conglomerates, in two phases.

[Clinical and functional evaluation of patellofemoral resurfacing arthroplasties].

Background: The patellofemoral articulation is a biomechanical system susceptible to accelerated wear, affecting 25% of women. Currently, the treatment of osteoarthrosis Patelofermoral has resurfaced thanks to the creation of anatomical and biomechanically appropriate systems, with precise indications, earlier stages and with a better functional result.

Material And Methods: A cohort of 24 patients was analyzed during the period from 2010 to 2012, treated with a resurfacing prostheses HemiCap Patello Femoral Resurf (Franklin MA, USA), placed by 2 surgeons.

[Functional comparison in the treatment of Weber type B ankle fractures with suture device versus screw].

Background: Ten percent of all ankle fractures, 20% of the fractures treated surgically, and 1-18% of all sprains involve a syndesmosis injury. The methods used for reduction are metal or bioabsorbable syndesmotic set screws, direct repair, and sutures with or without buttons. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical function of patients who sustained Weber B ankle fractures and were treated with the TightRope system or a syndesmotic set screw.
