Caso clínico premiado: Estado preartrósico en la mujer debido a la llegada de la menopausia

El Dr. Pascual García Alfaro, ginecólogo del Hospital Universitario Quirón Dexeus, ha sido el ganador del II Certamen de Casos Clínicos sobre Artrosis Menopáusica organizado por laAsociación Española para el Estudio de la Menopausia (AEEM) yBioibérica Farma. El ginecólogo ha presentado el caso de una paciente de 51 años que acude a la consulta con sofocos y dolores en las articulaciones de las caderas y las rodillas. El diagnóstico es un estado preartrósico debido a la disminución de los niveles de estrógenos que se produce con la llegada de la menopausia. El tratamiento pautado en este caso fue la terapia hormonal sustitutiva por vía oral, y paracetamol como analgésico para el dolor. Una vez estabilizada la paciente a los tres meses, se le prescribió condroitín sulfato como tratamiento de base de la artrosis.
El trabajo explica que recientes estudios apuntan que los estrógenos regulan procesos celulares beneficiosos en el tejido articular y que se ha demostrado la presencia de receptores de esta hormona en el cartílago, el hueso, la membrana sinovial, los ligamentos y el músculo. En la menopausia se da una disminución en los niveles de estrógenos que provoca lesiones degenerativas en el cartílago y el hueso subcondral.
Durante el certamen celebrado en el marco del Congreso Nacional de la AEEM en Bilbao, se presentaron un total de seis casos clínicos. El segundo lugar fue para cuatro residentes del Servicio de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital Universitario de Guadalajara por un trabajo sobre artrosis y osteoporosis.

Despite some misconceptions, clinical practice guidelines are useful in orthopedics
Over time, medicine has embraced evidence-based decision-making, turning to the best published reports to make clinical decisions. In this month’s Cover Story, orthopedic surgeons discuss the use of clinical practice guidelines, treatment recommendations based on a systematic review of the literature and an evaluation of all available treatment options. Read more

Abstract
The advances in the knowledge of anatomy, surgical techniques, and fixation devices have led to the improvement of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction over the past 10 years. Nowadays, double bundle and anatomical single bundle ACL reconstruction that more closely restores the normal anatomy of the ACL are becoming popular. Although there is still no definite conclusion whether double bundle ACL reconstruction provides better clinical results than single bundle reconstruction, the trend has shifted to anatomic reconstruction regardless of single bundle or double bundle techniques. We could not find any significant differences in the clinical outcomes and stability after ACL reconstruction according to the type of graft or fixation device. Therefore, surgeons should select an ideal ACL reconstruction according to the patient’s condition and surgeon’s experience.

Diabetic patients have higher morbidity, mortality risk after shoulder arthroplasty

Diabetic patients have higher morbidity, mortality risk after shoulder arthroplasty


Después de la artroplastia de hombro , los pacientes con diabetes preexistente tenían un mayor riesgo de resultados postoperatorios tempranos más pobres , incluyendo la morbilidad y la mortalidad , de acuerdo con los resultados del estudio .
Utilizando datos de 2011 la base de datos de la muestra nacional de pacientes internos , los investigadores identificaron y clasificaron 66.485 pacientes sometidos a artroplastia de hombro en cohortes con ( 21 % ) y sin ( 79 %) de diabetes. Bivariado y multivariado análisis con modelos de regresión logística se utilizaron para comparar las medidas de resultado específicas entre las cohortes .
Los investigadores encontraron un aumento de la incidencia de complicaciones de hospitalización , con la excepción de la infección , entre los pacientes con diabetes . También hubo una mayor incidencia de insuficiencia renal aguda , el infarto de miocardio agudo, neumonía , anemia posthemorrágica aguda, necesidad de transfusión y la muerte.
Los pacientes con diabetes también experimentaron una estancia hospitalaria significativamente más largos y con mayor frecuencia fueron dados de alta a otro centro de atención de la salud en lugar de en casa en comparación con los pacientes no diabéticos , de acuerdo con los resultados del estudio .

 
After shoulder arthroplasty, patients with preexisting diabetes had a higher risk for poorer early postoperative outcomes, including morbidity and mortality, according to study results.
Using 2011 data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, researchers identified and classified 66,485 patients who underwent shoulder arthroplasty into cohorts with (21%) and without (79%) diabetes. Bivariate and multivariable analyses with logistic regression modeling were used to compare specific outcome measures between the cohorts.
The researchers found an increased incidence of inpatient complications, with the exception of infection, among patients with diabetes. There was also a higher incidence of acute kidney failure, acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, acute posthemorrhagic anemia, need for transfusion and death.
Patients with diabetes also experienced a significantly longer hospital stays and were more often discharged to another health care facility instead of home compared with non-diabetic patients, according to study results.
