Abstract Objective: To outline the epidemiological profile of tibial fractures treated in a tertiary hospital and explore associations between the characteristics of the fractures and the clinical outcome of postoperative complications. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study involving adult patients diagnosed with tibial fractures who underwent surgical and/or conservative treatment in a tertiary hospital between January 2019 and December 2021. The variables sex, age, mechanism of injury, type and classification of fracture, associated injuries, personal history, length of hospital stay, surgical treatment, post-surgical complications (infections, loss of synthesis material, surgical wound dehiscence) and death. Results: The sample consisted of 100 individuals, with an average age of 35.8 years, 86% of whom were male, with a higher prevalence of motorcycle accidents. The most common treatment was intramedullary stem, and type C fractures, which are more complex, were more associated with complications. Conclusion: Given the predominance of motorcycle accidents involving young people, there is a need for intervention in accident prevention policies, aiming to reduce the incidence, as well as the morbidity and mortality, of these individuals and, consequently, to reduce costs to the health system. Level of evidence III, Retrospective Study.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH TIBIA DIAPHYSIS FRACTURE TREATED AT A TERTIARY LEVEL HOSPITAL

三级医院治疗胫骨干骨折患者的流行病学特征

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the prevalence of smokers among patients with chronic low back pain, in the presence and absence of Modic changes, also the correlation between smoking history and progression of the Modic scale. Methods: Observational study, case-control type, with the inclusion of 340 vertebral segments in a total of 68 patients, separated into groups: with Modic (case group) and without Modic (control group). The odds ratio between the groups was verified using the Chi-Square test. Degree of correlation between smoking history (packs/year) and the degree of disc degeneration using Max-Modic and Sum-Modic, using Spearman’s non-parametric test. Results: The Modic group (MG) was 54% female and 46% male, with an average smoking history of 13.84 pack-years and an average of 1.42 altered segments per patient. Conclusion: An increased risk for Modic changes was found among smoking patients (odds ratio [OR] 4.09; 95% CI, 1.26-12.31; p &lt; 0.01) and significant correlation between Max-Modic, sum-Modic and smoking history. Level of Evidence III, Retrospective comparative study.

SMOKING AND MODIC CHANGES IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

吸烟与慢性腰痛患者Modic改变的比较研究

ABSTRACT Objective: This study reviews the literature and shares clinical experiences, emphasizing its diagnostic relevance in children under 5 years of age. Method: We examined 169 cases of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) in patients in this age group. We analyzed medical records and images, observing variables such as age, gender, complaints, treatment, and outcomes. Results: We studied 20 patients with Meyer’s dysplasia, representing 1.4% of LCPD cases in children. The majority were boys (85%) with symptom onset at 38 months. Claudication (25%) and mild pain (40%) were the main complaints. Radiographic findings showed a smaller, granular, or asymmetric nucleus. The average follow-up was 6.4 years, with interventional treatment in 5 cases. Most showed complete reossification and centralization of the femoral head. Conclusion: Meyer’s dysplasia is a rare condition that affects the hip in children under 5 years of age, predominantly in boys. It usually does not require intensive treatment; clinical and radiological follow-up is sufficient. However, it is important to be aware of possible unfavorable progressions, requiring more aggressive treatment to prevent complications. Level of evidence III, Retrospective comparative study.

MEYER’S DYSPLASIA IN THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF HIP PAIN IN CHILDHOOD

儿童髋部疼痛鉴别诊断中的梅耶氏发育不良

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify oncological-orthopedic studies published in Acta Ortopédica Brasileira over three decades; to classify them according to the type and level of evidence (LE); to observe the inter-rater agreement in the classification of studies; to analyze the studies retrospectively, according to levels of evidence; and to outline the evolution of the evidence in the study period. Methods: Descriptive analyses were performed with absolute and relative frequencies of studies published between 1993 and 2022. Inter-rater agreement was analyzed by percentage of agreement and Kappa statistic (95%CI). The interpretation of the magnitude of the agreement was performed according to Landis &amp; Koch. The association between classifications and publication period was analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. The analyses were performed using the R program (significance of 5%). Results: 69/1349 papers were selected; there was a significant association between type of study, statistical methodology, and LE with publication period (p &lt; 0.05); inter-rater agreement regarding LE was 92.8%. Conclusions: Oncological-orthopedic studies accounted for 5.1% of all published papers. Regarding the LE, 80% were NE IV and V studies, despite the evolution observed between the first and last decade (decrease in LE V studies and increase in LE II, III and IV). Level of Evidence III, Retrospective Comparative Study.

肿瘤骨科研究中的证据水平 - 巴西骨科学报 (1993-2022)

ABSTRACT Objetive: This study aims to analyze the learning curves in performing the arthroscopic Latarjet surgery. Methods: This was an observational, retrospective, single-center study. All cases of arthroscopic Latarjet performed in this institution from 2016 to 2021 were included. The data analyzed were surgical time (of the chief surgeon alone and the group of surgeons), complications, and time until the return to sports activities. Technical observations about the learning process were also reported. Results: In total, 50 consecutive cases were included (93% retention of the initial sample identified at the institution). The decrease in surgical time was presented logarithmically and showed a decrease in time both for the individualized analysis of the senior surgeon (r = −0.67, p &lt; 0.001) and for the surgical group (r = −0.476, p &lt; 0.001). Mean operating time (and standard deviation) dropped from 235 minutes (73) in the first 10 cases to 156 minutes (34) for the subsequent cases (p &lt; 0.001). In the first 20 cases, five intercurrences were recorded and three reoperations were performed, whereas subsequent cases presented only one intercurrence requiring surgical intervention (p = 0.032). The median time to return to sport was nine months for the first 20 cases versus six months for subsequent cases (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The learning curve for the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure showed a progressive decrease in operative time, complications, and time to return to sports activities. This suggests that the surgeon developed the necessary skills and confidence to reach a plateau of expertise to perform the surgical procedure. Level of evidence IV, Observational retrospective.
