Presentamos nuestra experiencia en el tratamiento de las fracturas y de sus secuelas con el fijador externo Hoffmann II. Hemos intervenido 34 pacientes. En el 44% de las fracturas se trató de fracturas abiertas, en el 44% de fracturas cerradas, y el resto de pseudoartrosis. El seguimiento medio fue de 14 meses (rango 12-18). En el 85% de los casos, se utilizó el fijador externo como tratamiento definitivo, y en el resto de forma temporal, hasta que las condiciones del paciente o de la lesión mejoraran, y permitieran aplicar un tratamiento definitivo. El tiempo medio de consolidación fue de 21 semanas (rango 6-27) y no hubo ningún caso de pseudoartrosis, ni de lesión vasculonerviosa. Los resultados obtenidos con este fijador externo son satisfactorios, siendo su implantación versátil y sencilla, por lo que recomendamos su uso para el tratamiento de las fracturas.
We report our experience in the treatment of fractures and its consequences with the Hoffmann II external fixator. We have operated on 34 patients. In 44% of cases there were open fractures, in 44% closed fractures, and the remaining cases were non-unions. The average follow-up was 14 months (range: 12-18). In 85% of cases, we used the external fixator as a definitive treatment, and in the remaining as a temporary treatment, until the patient or injury conditions improved and it could be applied a definitive treatment. The average union time was 21 weeks (range 6-27) and there were not cases of non-union or nerve or vessel injuries. The obtained results with this external fixator are satistactory, being its application versatile and easy, therefore we recommend its use in the treatment of fractures.
