ResumoComplicações vasculares no tratamento cirúrgico da fratura do quadril são raras. A depender da lesão arterial, pode ocorrer um grave sangramento intraoperatório ou formação de hematoma subagudo com desenvolvimento de pseudoaneurisma arterial. Na literatura, as complicações mais frequentes relatadas são a formação de grandes hematomas locais após osteossíntese com parafuso deslizante do quadril. O objetivo do presente relato foi demonstrar um caso de lesão arterial tardia após osteossíntese proximal do fêmur.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the decision of orthopedics surgeons regarding which cases they would indicate surgery or non-surgical treatment.Methods20 images of radiographs with fracture in the middle third of the collar bone (AO/OTA 15-B) in anteroposterior view were analyzed, and divided into four groups: group 1 – fracture type AO/OTA 15-B1 without displacement; group 2 – fracture type AO/OTA 15-B1 with displacement; group 3 – fracture type AO/OTA 15-B2; group 4 – fracture type AO/OTA 15-B3. The evaluator was requested to indicate the choice of treatment, surgical or non-surgical.ResultsThere was no strong correlation between the amount of surgical indications and the working experience or age of the medical evaluator. It was observed that the average of surgical indications in the total sample was 52%. When indications were studied in different areas of Brazil, there was no significant difference among them. No pattern for the Brazilian regions studied was observed in the case analysis. Even within a group (cases of the same complexity), no specific pattern of surgical indication was observed.ConclusionNo association between surgical indication and the length of professional experience was found. The Southern and Southeastern regions were those that most recommended surgeries in groups 2, 3, and 4. In no region the same level of surgical indication for cases of the same complexity rate was kept.
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.
