Complicaciones post operatorias en niños intervenidos por fractura de cadera
Fractures, in general, are very common in children and constitute the fourth most common injury among children under the age of six. From 0 to 16 years old, at least 42% of boys and 27% of girls suffer a fracture. The highest incidence in boys is around 15 years and, in girls, around 12 years. The m...

Fractures, in general, are very common in children and constitute the fourth most common injury among children under the age of six. From 0 to 16 years old, at least 42% of boys and 27% of girls suffer a fracture. The highest incidence in boys is around 15 years and, in girls, around 12 years. The most frequent locations are: 45.1% in the radius (dominating its metaphysis and distal physis), 18.4% in the humerus (dominating metaphysis and distal physis), 15.1% in the tibia, 13.8% in the clavicle and 7.6% in the femur. Fractures that affect growth cartilage (physis) account for 21.7% of injuries. Hip and spinal fractures are less frequent. Less than 1% of pediatric fractures correspond to hip fractures. Compared to the rest of pediatric fractures, those of the hip present greater complications and less favorable evolution. The main purpose of this study is to capture the main post-operative complications in children operated on for hip fractures. The research design that was carried out is documentary or bibliographic. The main complications after hip fracture surgery in children are osteonecrosis, premature physeal closure, nonunion, and chondrolysis. Little updated literature was found related to the subject, perhaps due to the infrequency of the presentation of this type of fracture in the pediatric area, however, given the importance of its complications, it is essential to carry out field studies and updated bibliographic reviews, to the in order to generate a better knowledge of the subject and optimize the existing management. |
