Lesiones del cartílago articular de la rodilla en zona de carga. Artroscopia en 120 pacientes. Lesions of the articular cartilage of the knee in a burden zone: Arthroscopy in 120 patients
Abstract
Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo en el Hospital Universitario "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" de Pinar del Río en el periodo de enero/1999 a enero/2003 en 120 pacientes atendidos en el servicio de Ortopedia y Traumatología que presentaron lesiones del cartílago articular de las rodillas en zonas de carga de peso, tratados por cirugía artroscópica; con el objetivo de evaluar los factores que influyeron en la evolución de estos pacientes. De la muestra solo el 13.3 % fueron excelentes, el 35 % se evaluaron de bien, mientras el 38.3 % fueron regular y el 13.3 % con malos resultados. El peso corporal, las deformidades angulares de las rodillas, otras lesiones mecánicas asociadas, el estado de la masa muscular y la extensión y profundidad de las lesiones cartilaginosas influyeron notablemente en la evolución de estos pacientes según nuestros resultados así como la edad y el sexo.
