Objetivo

El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar los resultados de la reparación quirúrgica del ligamento deltoideo en fracturas equivalente bimaleolares.

Material y método

Entre 2002 y 2009 fueron intervenidos 49 pacientes con fractura del maléolo peroneo y signos clásicos de lesión del ligamento deltoideo; finalmente se recuperaron para la revisión 44 pacientes. Se dividieron en 2 grupos: grupo A con 33 casos, en los que se reparó el ligamento deltoideo, y grupo B con 11 casos, donde el deltoideo fue tratado conservadoramente. Las fracturas fueron clasificadas según Lauge-Hansen y la AO/OTA. Para la valoración clínico-funcional se usó la escala de la American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) para el tobillo. Se registraron las complicaciones y reintervenciones.

Resultados

Tras un seguimiento medio de 12 meses, se obtuvo un resultado satisfactorio en ambos grupos, con una puntuación media final de 95 puntos en el grupo A y una de 94 en el grupo B, según la escala AOFAS. Hubo 2 infecciones, 1 intolerancia de la sutura medial, 1 algodistrofia y 4 casos precisaron retirada de material.

Conclusiones

Nuestros resultados sugieren que la lesión del ligamento deltoideo puede ser reparada con buenos resultados funcionales. Y entendemos que, aunque los signos clásicos nos ayudan a sospechar la lesión, no son predictores fiables de la necesidad de reparación del lado medial.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the result of surgical repair of deltoid ligament in fracture of the distal fibula upper or at the syndesmotic level.

Materials and methods

Between 2002 and 2009, 49 patients with distal fibula fractures and classical signs of deltoid ligament incompetence were operated, 44 were available for follow-up. Two groups: group A included 33 cases in whom deltoid ligament was treated by surgical repair, and group B, 11 cases who were treated conservatively. All fractures were classified according to Lauge-Hansen and AO/OTA. The AOFAS ankle score was used for clinical and functional evaluation. Complications and reinterventions were recorded.

Results

At a mean follow-up of 12 months, a satisfactory functional result was obtained in both groups, with a mean final score of 95 points in group A and 94 in group B on the AOFAS scale. There were 2 infection, a medial suture intolerance, an algodystrophy and 4 hardware removed.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that a ruptured deltoid ligament can be repair with goods functional result. And we understand that although the classical signs help us to suspect a torn ligament, are not reliable predictors for surgical revision of the medial side.
