Resumen

Los pacientes afectos de artritis reumatoide (AR) juvenil a menudo precisan de una evaluación y tratamientos muy precoces, debido a severas rigideces y dolores en varias articulaciones.

La artroplastia total de codo se ha convertido en una solución válida para todos aquellos pacientes con artritis reumatoide, cuya afectación de codo es lo suficientemente se-vera para impedirles realizar sus actividades de vida diaria.

Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 36 años, cuya artritis reumatoide juvenil le había producido una rigidez articular muy severa asociada a un dolor constante, que le imposibilitaba para su vida cotidiana. Los resultados de la cirugía y el protocolo de Rehabilitación diseñado, se evaluaron mediante el test de Mayo específico para funcionalidad del codo, y el test de función clínica del miembro superior.

Summary

Patients suffering from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis often require very early evaluation and treatments due to severe stiffness and pain in several joints. Total elbow arthroplasty has become a valid solution for all those patients with rheumatoid arthritis whose elbow involvement is sufficiently severe to prevent them from carrying out the daily life activities.

We present the case of a 36 year old woman whose juvenile rheumatoid arthritis had caused very severe joint stiffness associated to constant pain that had made her daily life impossible. The results of the surgery and the Rehabilitation protocol designed are evaluated with the specific Mayo elbow performance test and with the clinical performance test of the upper limbs.
