Tratamiento de las fracturas de tobillo con polaina funcional conformada

Abstract

A total of 35 ankle fractures treated with a functional below-the-knee brace were retrospectively studied. The follow-up period was one year. There were displaced and non displaced fractures, but in all of them was possible to achieved a satisfactory reduction either orthopaedically or with a minimal osteosynthesis. Functional bellow-the-knee bracings was performed according to Esteve. Different parameters such as motion, pain, walking ability and fracture stability were clinically assesed. Fracture reduction and joint consolidation were radiographically evaluated with weight-bearig in the affected leg. The age average was 53 years. Among fractures predominated casual fall etiology (86%) and supination type. The duration of the no loading immovilization period way 3-4 weeks. The functional casting period was 4 weeks and the readaptative period was 2-3 weeks. Based on the clinical and radiological assessments, the results were excellent in a 2 1 % of cases, good in 67%, fair in 10% and poor in 7%.

Se realiza un estudio retrospectivo sobre 35 fracturas de tobillo tratadas con yeso funcional conformado en período de seguimiento de 1 año, algunas no desplazadas y otras desplazadas, pero en las que fue posible conseguir ortopédicamente o con osteosíntesis «a mínima» una correcta reducción. Para la confección del enyesado funcional conformado (YFC), se siguió el método preconizado por F. Esteve valorando clínicamente movilidad, dolor, marcha y estabilidad y radiográficamente reducción, articulación en carga y consolidación. La edad media fue de 53 años, predominando etiología casual (86% de los casos) y el tipo de fractura las de supinación. La duración del período agudo fue de 3,5 a 4 semanas, la del período funcional de 4 semanas y la del período de readaptación de 2 a 3 semanas. Los resultados, en base a los criterios clínicos y radiológicos, fueron excelentes en el 21 % de los casos, buenos en el 62%, regulares en el 10% y malos en el 7%.
