Alargamiento del gastrocnemio según la técnica de Vulpius para corrección del equino en el pie espástico

Abstract

La deformidad en equino del pie espástico es frecuente en niños con parláis cerebral y afecta su patrón en marcha. En nuestro estudio se valora la experiencia con la técnica descrita por Vulpius, para su correción. Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo de 40 pacientes, un total de 66 pies operados en el Hospital San Juan de Dios de Caracas, entre los años 1974 y 1992, todos con un seguimiento mayor de 1 año. Los resultados obtenidos fueron agrupados y analizados de acuerdo a la edad de la intervención quirúrgica, tipo de afección neurológica, y tiempo de seguimiento postoperatorio de acuerdo a una escala que toma en cuenta la marcha libre o no, la utilización de algún tipo de ortesis y la recidiva o no de la deformidad. Del total de pacientes estudiados, 32 de ellos (76%) no requirieron una nueva intervención quirúrgica. Se hace hincapié en el uso de la prueba de Silverskiöld para valorar la indicación quirúrgica.

The spastic equines deformity of the foot is frequent in the child with cerebral palsy, and it affects the gait. In our study, we evaluated the experience with the technique describe by Vulpius to correct it. We reviewed 40 patients with 66 feet operated in the Hospital San Juan de Dios of Caracas, from 1974 to 1992, with more than 1 year of follow up. The results were grouped and analyzed taking in consideration the surgical age, the type of the neurological affection, the time of postoperatory follow up, and graded according a scale that takes into count the gait with or without orthesis the recurrence of the deformity. Of the whole series, 32 patients (76%) didn't need a new surgical intervention. We make emphasis in the Silverskiöld test as surgical indication.
