The present results show that scores on the AOFAS scale and for pain improve progressively throughout the first year following first MTPJ fusion. At 3 months the results for both pain and the AOFAS scale had a low predictive value due to the wide variation in scores. However, at 6 months, pain stabilized and scores showed greater precision, thus increasing the predictive value of the results. With the AOFAS scale, there continued to be considerable variation at 6 months, and it was not until 1-year post surgery that scores showed an acceptable degree of precision.
La callosotomía es una técnica aunque antigua aun hoy en día sigue vigente como opción terapéutica quirúrgica en pacientes con epilepsia refractaria, en especial pacientes con epilepsia multifocal, crisis tónicas, atónicas y drops attacks, es una cirugía segura con baja morbilidad y mortalidad siendo la mayoría de las veces complicaciones transitorias.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
