[Clinical-functional results in patients with Weber A and B fractures with early rehabilitation and early weight bearing protected with circular appliance immobilization].

Introduction: the post-surgical management of ankle fractures is still controversial, and there is no consensus on which rehabilitation regimen should be included as the best. The objective of the study was to describe the clinical and functional results of post-surgical patients with A/B Weber ankle fracture managed with early rehabilitation through early support and immobilization with circular appliance immobilization.

Material And Methods: prospective observational study of patients with postoperative Weber A and B ankle fractures, who were prescribed a program of early gradual weight-bearing and protected with a circular appliance and were compared with patients who did not receive weight-bearing.

[Risk factors for the development of surgical wound infections in patients with closed fractures].

Introduction: orthopedic device-associated infections (ODI) are considered surgical site infections (SSI). SSIs are generally attributed to contamination during surgery, but they require certain factors for their development. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors for the development of SSIs in patients with closed fractures.

[Clinical experience on the management of post-traumatic bone defects of long bones treated with the membrane induction technique].

Introduction: bone defects drastically alter the patient's quality of life, and can produce serious sequelae such as dysfunctional shortening, angular deformity, joint stiffness and irreversible gait disorder.

Objective: to describe the experience of managing post-traumatic bone defects of long bones treated with the membrane induction technique.

Material And Methods: retrospective observational study of patients with bone defects greater than 3 cm in diaphyseal pseudoarthrosis of long bones, who underwent the Masquelet technique.

[Clinical evolution of patients with infection associated with orthopedic devices in treatment with continuous negative pressure].

Objective: To describe the use of negative pressure therapy with (TPNi) and without instillation (TPNs) as adjuvant treatment in the management of orthopedic device-associated infections (IADO).

Method: Analytic observational study of records of patients with IADO managed with TPNi and TPNs with 0.9% saline solution, in patients > 18 years, operated on in 2018-2021.

Timely radiographic detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip in family medicine residents. Educative intervention.

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a complex clinical entity that is usually underdiagnosed, if not detected and managed early, will turn the affected individual into a disabled being, with negative social, economic and emotional effects.

Objective: To determine the capacity for the timely radiographic detection of DDH before and after an educational intervention.

Method: An educational intervention is carried out in family medicine resident, where they are given training on detection in DDH radiographic projections.
