Presentamos una serie de 55 pacientes afectados de Distrofia Muscular Progresiva (Enfermedad de Duchenne) de los cuales 22 fueron operados de los miembros inferiores con tecnoplastias de Aquiles principalmente, biopedestados en el término de 24 hs. y equipados ortodésicamente en la primera semana y que por término medio prolongaron su independencia de marcha por 20 meses. El criterio utilizado, mejoró notablemente la calidad de vida de estos niños postergando la aparición de complicaciones secundarias cardiorespiratorias y escolióticas. Ante la realidad de una carencia actual de medidas terapéuticas efectivas todo criterio funcionalizador en el tiempo, justifica a nuestro entender la acción del equipo neuro ortopédico aún en patologías de fatal pronóstico como la presente.
A series of 55 patients with Duchenne Progressive Muscular Dystrofy is reviewed. A total of 22 cases were operated on by Aquiles tenoplasty. These patients were encouraged to get standing position 24 hours after operation. Within the first week after operation patients could walk with ortesis. Mean follow-up was 20 mounths. The therapeutic protocol used has notably improved Ufe quality of these children, postponius the presence of cardiorrespiratory and escoliotic secondary complications.
