Objective: To conduct a prospective study on unstable and incongruent fractures of the acetabulum, in comparison with the literature, covering the type of access, fixation materials, degree of reduction, type of fracture and results after surgery. Methods: The authors evaluated 76 patients with unstable and incongruent fracture of the acetabulum between January 1999 and December 2009. The Marvin Tile classification was used, and all cases were treated surgically using the technique recommended by the AO-ASIF group. Results: The radiological evaluation was done in accordance with the Ruesch criteria, and good, excellent or perfect results were obtained for 64 patients (84.2%). The clinical evaluation was done in accordance with the Harris criteria, and good or excellent results were obtained for 62 patients (81.6%). The complications were assessed and, in comparison with the literature, were shown to be compatible with previous reports even after the statistical analysis. Conclusion: It was concluded that anatomical reduction and stable fixation are important for good results.
RESUMOAs infecções articulares periprotéticas ocorridas nas artroplastias do quadril são um grande desafio para o paciente, equipe e instituições de saúde. Estudo do tipo ensaio clínico piloto, randomizado, controlado e cego para avaliar o efeito do banho pré-operatório utilizando as soluções gluconato de clorexidina 4%, polivinilpirolidona iodo (PVP-I) 10% degermante ou sabão sem antisséptico na prevenção de infecção de sítio cirúrgico (ISC), em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de artroplastia do quadril. A amostra foi composta por 45 pacientes adultos submetidos à cirurgia eletiva de artroplastia total do quadril, que não tinham relato de infecção no local cirúrgico e alergia às soluções utilizadas e que não eram portadores nasais de Staphylococcus aureus. Os grupos de pacientes randomizados apresentaram homogeneidade em relação às características epidemiológicas e clínicas. A taxa de ISC entre os grupos foi de 20% para clorexidina, 6,7 para o PVP-I e sabão sem antisséptico, respectivamente. Não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas entre os três grupos de intervenção. É necessária cautela ao recomendar o banho pré-operatório com clorexidina como estratégia para reduzir infecção de sítio cirúrgico. Clinical Trials nº NCTO3001102.
