Objective: To assess the early complications in the orthopedic treatment of metastatic bone lesions and the factors associated with these complications. Method: There were assessed, retrospectively, 64 patients that underwent surgical treatment for bone metastases, analyzing the complications that occurred in the pre-operative and early post- operative period and associating them with the tumor origin, type of procedure done, the need of blood reposition before the surgery, the need of new surgical procedures and the mortality due to the complications. Results: Early complications in the treatment were observed in 17 (26.6%) patients, of which six (35.2%) ended up dying due to these complications. Regarding the type, 15 (23.8%) cases were due to surgical complications, four (6.3%) clinical and three (4.7%) patients showed clinical and surgical complications. There was no significant difference in the frequency of complications or mortality when assessed the type of reconstruction or affected region. The tumors with a renal origin needed more blood reposition and showed a bigger frequency of complications. Conclusion: The complications occurred in 26.6%. The complications are not related to the kind of treatment performed or to the region affected. The renal origin tumors showed a higher risk of hemorrhage.
While the value of national arthroplasty registries (NAR) for quality improvement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has already been widely reported, some methodological limitations associated with observational epidemiological studies that may interfere with the assessment of safety and efficacy of prosthetic implants have recently been described in the literature.Among the main limitations of NAR, the need for at least 80% compliance of all health institutions covered by the registry is emphasized; completeness equal or greater than 90% of all THA performed; restricted data collection; use of revision surgery as the sole criterion for outcome; and the inability of establishing a definite causal link with prosthetic dysfunction.The present article evaluates the advantages and limitations of NAR, in the light of current knowledge, which point to the need for a broader data collection and the use of more structured criteria for defining outcomes.In this scenario, the authors describe of idealization, conceptual and operational structure, and the project of implantation and implementation of a multicenter registry model, called Rempro-SBQ, which includes healthcare institutions already linked to the Brazilian Hip Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Quadril [SBQ]). This partnership enables the collection of more reliable and comprehensive data at a higher hierarchical level, with a significant reduction in maintenance and financing costs. The quality improvement actions supported by SBQ may enhance its effectiveness and stimulate greater adherence for collecting, storing, interpreting, and disseminating information (feedback).
OBJETIVO: Avaliar os efeitos da manipulação prévia no tratamento ci rúrgico e na recidiva local dos sarcomas de tecidos moles. MÉTODO: Foram avaliados 30 pacientes submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico de um sarcoma de tecidos moles (STM), que foram divididos em dois grupos: pacientes que foram submetidos a uma biópsia ou ressecção inadvertida prévia do tumor e os encaminhados para tratamento sem qualquer procedimento prévio. Os grupos foram comparados de acordo com o tipo de cirurgia realizada, as complicações e a ocorrência de recidiva local. RESULTADOS: A manipulação prévia dos STM foi observada em 60% da casuística, alterando a técnica operatória em 66,6% dos casos. A freqüência de amputações foi semelhante nos dois grupos, mas três amputações foram realizadas por ressecção prévia inadequada. As complicações não foram significativamente diferentes nos grupos (p = 0,282), assim como a recidiva local (p = 0,461). CONCLUSÕES: A manipulação prévia dos STM influenciou no tratamento cirúrgico, mas não influenciou nas complicações pós-operatórias ou na recidiva local.
This article aims to report four cases of unstable pelvic fractures in pregnant women treated by open reduction and internal fixation.Cases reportThe study included four cases of pregnant women with unstable pelvic fractures; their outcomes were analyzed and discussed. Data were obtained from two University Hospitals. The mean age of women was 23 years; most (3/4) were primiparous, with a mean pregnancy age of 23 weeks. Two women had Malgaigne-type fractures and the other two had symphyseal disjunction associated with acetabular fractures. All fractures were treated surgically. One foetus was dead on admission to hospital. The other three developed well, along with their mothers. Good evolution was only possible with careful pre-, peri-, and postoperative care for the mother, as well as foetal assessment by a multidisciplinary team. In complex cases such as those presented in the present study, pre-, peri-, and postoperative care are mandatory, as well as the presence of a multidisciplinary team. The mother's life always takes priority in acute clinical pictures, as it offers the best chance of survival to both mother and child.
10cm (p = 0,007), com o alto grau de malignidade (p = 0,007), com a presença de necrose (p = 0,002) e com a presença de invasão vascular (p = 0,034). A idade (p = 1,000), o sexo (0,709), a localização em segmentos corporais (p = 0,298), a profundidade (p = 0,288), a margem cirúrgica (p = 0,419) e a manipulação prévia do tumor (p = 1,000) não apresentaram correlação com a ocorrência de metástases a distância. Na análise multivariada apenas a localização extracompartimental (p = 0,008), o tamanho (p = 0,018) e a presença de invasão vascular (p = 0,043) foram significativos. CONCLUSÃO: O desenvolvimento de metástases a distância nos pacientes com sarcoma de tecidos moles depende da localização extracompartimental, do tamanho (> 10cm), do alto grau de malignidade histológica, da presença de necrose e da invasão vascular à histologia.]]>
