Revisión sistemática de estudios descriptivos : tratamiento de fracturas diafisarias antebrazo en niños entre 6 y 12 años

El tratamiento de las fracturas de tercio medio de antebrazo en niños de 6-12 años es controversial, debido a las diferentes opciones de manejo que existen en la actualidad. Objetivo: realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura para determinar cuál es el mejor tratamiento de las fracturas diafisiarias del tercio medio del antebrazo en niños de 6-12 años. Materiales y métodos: se realizó una búsqueda sistemática y ampliada de estudios descriptivos comparativos sobre los diferentes tratamientos para fracturas tercio medio antebrazo en niños de 6-12 años de edad. Resultados: se identificaron en total 16 artículos, seis de los cuales cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, con cinco diferentes opciones de tratamiento. No se encontraron diferencias en los resultados funcionales de los diferentes tipos de tratamiento y se evidencio un mayor número de complicaciones por angulación de las fracturas en los grupos de tratamiento con clavos endomedulares. Los estudios presentan sesgos de selección y hay varias diferencias en la medición de sus respectivos desenlaces. Conclusiones: la evidencia evaluada en esta revisión sistemática no permite determinar cuál es el mejor tratamiento para este tipo de fracturas, sin importar el tipo de material de osteosíntesis utilizado. Se requieren ensayos clínicos controlados que evalúen los diferentes tipos de tratamiento para poder determinar el mejor manejo de estas.

Algunas instituciones continúan manejando en forma agresiva el trauma de cuello, llevando a exploración quirúrgica a todo paciente. La selección de los métodos diagnostico más apropiado es un problema polémico. La tendencia actual en la literatura está dirigida hacia la racionalización del uso de los métodos de diagnóstico, indicándolos selectivamente de acuerdo con los hallazgos clínicos al ingreso. Objetivo: determinar el valor de signos blandos al ingreso de los pacientes con trauma penetrante de cuello para definir la necesidad de realizar estudios de diagnóstico adicionales. Métodos: es un estudio observacional de prueba diagnóstica en Hospital Occidente de Kennedy, durante los meses de agosto de 2009 hasta junio de 2010. Se incluyeron 207 pacientes con herida penetrante de cuello. A todos se les realizo una exploración física enfocándose en los signos blandos de lesión vascular, vía aérea y tracto gastrointestinal superior. Se analizaron la sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo y negativo de los signos blandos. Resultados: los signos blandos de lesión vascular tienen una sensibilidad de 95.65%, especificidad 47.83%, VPP de 18.64 %; VPN de 98.88%. Los signos blandos de lesión de vía aérea tienen una sensibilidad 94.12%, especificidad 91.05%, VVP 48.48%; VPN 99.43%.
