Low back pain is a very frequent condition in our country and has great social and occupational repercussions. With advancing age, a degenerative cascade occurs in the lumbar spine, which starts at the intervertebral disc and subsequently involves the facet joints and other vertebral elements. This spinal degeneration is part of the normal ageing process, although it can sometimes cause pain and/or...
One of the most controversial points about antegrade humeral nailing is that of potential iatrogenic injuries to the rotator cuff. The purpose of this paper is to determine the clinical and sonographic impact associated to the use of the anterolateral approach.Transversal study of a retrospective cohort of 23 patients operated on for humeral diaphyseal fractures at the 12 de Octubre Hospital between...
Bone defects that become visible during total elbow revision surgery or further to poor evolution of a supraintercondylar fracture can be addressed by means of an implant of bone-bank origin.We present two cases in which strut grafts were used when placing a total elbow prosthesis, one at the humeral and the other at the ulnar level.The clinical results for these grafts, one at 24 and the other at...
To conduct a retrospective clinical and radiological study of the first few cases operated by kyphoplasty at one center of Madrid.Thirty patients were reviewed (43 vertebrae) who were operated between December 2002 and May 2005. The etiological distribution was as follows: 24 patients with an osteoporotic fracture and 6 with osteolytic tumors (lung cancer, 1 case; breast cancer, 2; hypernephroma,...
The purpose of this paper is to review the experience of our hospital in treating patients diagnosed with a soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) in one of their limbs who sought consultation further to inappropriate surgical resections or a local relapse.This is a retrospective study of 64 patients treated for STS in another hospital; the patients were divided into 2 groups: group A, comprised 27 patients where...
Distal ruptures of the brachial biceps tendon are an infrequent injury. The purpose of this paper is to assess the outcome of distal ruptures of the tendon addressed surgically through an anterior approach between November 1998 and December 2003.Retrospective study of 12 patients and 13 injuries with a mean follow-up of 37 months (range: 12-60). Mean age was 37.6 years and all patients were male....
To determine the persistence of living cells in cryopreserved bone grafts as well as their biological potential.Several cancellous bone fragments were processed that had been extracted from a bone-bank cryopreserved femoral condyle used in a revision total hip arthroplasty. After fragment lavage and digestion, a group of cells were isolated that were deposited in an α-MEM culture medium supplemented...
