Abstract
Purpose

To assess the efficacy of the Vira® system for the treatment of calcaneal fractures by means of a secondary subtalar arthrodesis.

Materials and methods

We prospectively assessed 23 secondary subtalar arthrodeses. Eighteen cases were “in situ” arthrodeses, 4 out of them were combined with a lateral decompression and 5 were corrections of malunions by means of calcaneus osteotomies. All cases were addressed with the Vira® system, without bone grafting. Mean time to surgery was 22 months. A clinical assessment using the AOFAS scale, and a radiographic and CT-evaluation were performed.

Results

Mean preoperative AOFAS scale was 41.1 points, with a score of 71.6 points being reached at the end of follow-up. All but 3 of the 11 patients without disability returned to their usual occupations. Mean temporary disability in the patients that were discharged was 123 days There were 2 cases of delayed healing of the subtalar arthrodesis; these had to be reoperated with an autologous graft. There were no surgical or postsurgical complications.

Conclusion

The Vira® system is efficient for secondary arthrodesis, providing the patient with enough stability to permit early weightbearing and rehabilitation. It also assures a high healing rate with no need for additional bone grafting.

Resumen
Objetivo

Evaluar la eficacia del sistema Vira® en el tratamiento de las secuelas de las fracturas de calcáneo mediante artrodesis subastragalina secundaria.

Material y métodos

Evaluamos prospectivamente 23 artrodesis subastragalinas secundarias. Dieciocho casos fueron artrodesis in situ; 4 de ellas asociaron descompresión lateral y 5 fueron correcciones de consolidación viciosa mediante osteotomía de calcáneo. En todos los casos, la fijación se realizó con el sistema Vira® sin injerto. El tiempo medio de evolución desde la fractura fue de 22 meses. Se realizó una evaluación clínica mediante la escala AOFAS y una evaluación radiográfica y de TAC.

Resultados

La puntuación media en la escala AOFAS previa a la cirugía fue de 41,1 puntos y se alcanzaron 71,6 puntos al final del seguimiento. De los 11 pacientes sin incapacidad volvieron a su ocupación habitual todos, salvo 3. La media de incapacidad temporal en los pacientes a los que se les dio el alta fue de 123 días Dos casos presentaron retardo de consolidación de la artrodesis subastragalina y precisaron reintervención con injerto autógeno. No se registraron complicaciones quirúrgicas ni posquirúrgicas.

Conclusión

El sistema Vira® es eficaz en la artrodesis secundaria y aporta estabilidad suficiente para permitir el apoyo y la rehabilitación precoces, con una elevada tasa de fusión, sin necesidad de injerto óseo adicional.
