Introducción: El pie equino varo aducto congénito (PEVAC) es una patología común pediátrica. En recidivas pueden utilizarse como alternativa quirúrgica ciertas transferencias tendinosas como la transferencia del tendón tibial anterior (TTA) y reinsertado a la tercera cuña. Objetivo: Identificar las complicaciones asociadas con la fijación distal con botón en pacientes con PEVAC recidivante operados de TTA, y proponer un método diferente de fijación con sutura directa a la fascia plantar. Material y métodos: Se incluyeron 34 pacientes en el estudio con una media de edad de 5.5 años. A todos se les realizó TTA, y se dividió en dos grupos de acuerdo con la técnica quirúrgica, evaluando las complicaciones asociadas a la fijación distal. Se realizó la prueba exacta de Fisher y comparación de ambos grupos con U de Mann Whitney. Resultados: Hubo diferencias significativas en infección superficial y dolor en fijación distal para el grupo con botón plantar con una p = 0.063 y 0.035 y un OR con mayor riesgo de tener dolor en comparación con el grupo con sutura de fascia plantar. Conclusiones: La fijación distal con botón plantar demostró significativamente presentar más
We report a case with presentation and diagnosis of multiple intracranial giant meningiomas after epidural anesthesia on vaginal delivery. It's a 20 years old woman, multiparous of 2, that after placing the epidural catheter during vaginal delivery began with severe and persistent headache, confusion, drowsiness and right hemiparesis. After vaginal delivery, studies showed a giant right olfactory groove meningioma and giant left lesser sphenoid wing meningioma. A two-stage surgery was performed. A gross total resection of both tumors and complete recovery of her symptoms was achieved after surgery.
An elderly woman underwent an uncomplicated right hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) in 2005 and returned 5 years later with cellulitis of the right hip. Treatment with oral antibiotics was initiated. Septic arthritis of the right hip joint was diagnosed ultimately, and she had surgical removal (explant) of the right hip prosthesis in 2011. Recurrent right hip infections ensued on several occasions with multiple antibiotic courses over the next 4 years. Although she had intermittent infections with methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, she had consistent and persistent isolation of Clostridium cadaveris from the hip beginning in 2013. After prolonged surgical interventions and several courses of antibiotics, C. cadaveris was eradicated; she has undergone implantation for a second stage implant (total hip arthroplasty) of the affected hip and remains stable to date.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
