Antecedentes: Las fracturas de radio distal Fernández III (FRDF III) son una urgencia muy frecuente. Las indicaciones quirúrgicas y no quirúrgicas persisten controversiales, así como el impacto funcional.

Objetivo: Comparar la evolución clínica de los trabajadores con FRDF III, con manejo quirúrgico frente a no quirúrgico, no complicados, en un hospital especializado.

MÉtodo: Estudio comparativo, observacional y longitudinal en trabajadores con FRDF III unilateral cerrada, de ambos sexos, con evolución menor de 5 días. Se excluyeron pacientes con comorbilidad afectante de consolidación ósea y polifracturados. Se eliminaron aquellos con información incompleta, con complicaciones, con aparato de yeso modificado 5 días después de su colocación, con mala reducción-estabilización acorde a la AO. Se aplicó la Escala Funcional de Mayo para Muñeca (EFMM) a los 3 y 6 meses del tratamiento. Se utilizó la prueba t de Student.

Resultados: 159 pacientes, 34% mujeres, 66% hombres. Edad promedio 40.18 años. Manejo quirúrgico 42,5% (placa 8.7%, fijador 29%, fijador + clavillo 8.7%); no quirúrgico 33%. Diferencias significativas (p ≤ 0.05): EFMM 3 y 6 meses; a 3 meses: dolor, prensión; a 6 meses: movilidad; y días totales de incapacidad.

Conclusiones: El tratamiento quirúrgico muestra mejores resultados funcionales, destacando el dolor y la prensión a 3 meses, y la movilidad a 6 meses, con reincorporación laboral en menos tiempo.

Background: This fracture is a very frequent emergency. Surgical and non-surgical management are still controversial, such as functional impact.

Objective: To compare clinical evolution of Fernandez III distal radius fractures, managed with surgically vs no surgical treatment, in a specialized hospital.

Method: Comparative, observational, longitudinal study, released on workers with unilateral Fernandez III closed distal radius fractures, both sex, with evolution less than 5 days. Those patients with pathologies getting difficult in bone consolidation, and with several fractures were excluded. Those with incomplete information, complicated, and whom paste were modified after 5 days, and with bad reduction or stabilization fracture according AO were eliminated. Mayo Functional Wrist Scale (EFMM) was applied at 3 and 6 months. Student-t test was applied.

Results: 159 patients recruited, 34% females, 66% males. Medium age 40 years old. Surgical treatment 42.5% (plaque 8.7%, external fixation 29%, external fixation and nails 8.7%). Non-surgical treatment 33%. Significative differences (p≤0.05): EFMM at 3 and 6 months; pain, grasp at 3 months; mobility at 6 months; total laboral inhability days.

Conclusions: Surgical treatment shows better functional results, specially pain and grasp at 3 months, mobility at 6 months, and faster returning to work.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the long-term outcomes of a vascular-sparing technique for reconstructing pelvic fracture urethral injuries (PFUI), which aims to preserve blood flow to the affected area.
  • It involved 60 patients, with a success rate of 98% in preventing stenosis, highlighting the method's effectiveness.
  • The results suggest that this approach, although more complex, is safe and may lower the risk of issues related to reduced blood flow during the healing process.

Background: Bile atresia is children's leading cause of cirrhosis. Its high morbidity and mortality are explained by its complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding and portal hypertension. Umbilical hernia has been embryologically and clinically associated with portal hypertension and cirrhosis; however, the clinical evolution of patients with bile atresia and umbilical hernia is unknown, so the aim of the study is to describe this link.
