Sindesmosis tibioperonea: diagnóstico, métodos de fijación y artroscopia

Alejandro Alvarez-López, Valentina Valdebenito-Aceitón, Sergio Ricardo Soto-Carrasco

Resumen

Introducción: las lesiones de la sindesmosis tibioperonea son frecuentes tanto de forma aislada o asociadas a fracturas del maléolo posterior. El diagnóstico clínico es corroborado mediante estudios imagenológicos. Los métodos de fijación pueden ser rígidos o dinámicos.

Objetivo: actualizar aspectos sobre las lesiones de la sindesmosis tibioperonea en cuanto al diagnóstico, métodos de fijación y el empleo de la vía artroscópica.

Método: la búsqueda y análisis de la información se realizó en un periodo de 61 días (1 de octubre al 30 de noviembre de 2022) y se emplearon las siguientes palabras: syndesmosis injury, ankle syndesmosis instability, syndesmosis instability AND tight rope ankle instability, posterior maleolar fracture. A partir de la información obtenida se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de un total de 258 artículos publicados en las bases de datos PubMed, Hinari, SciELO y Medline mediante el gestor de búsqueda y
 administrador de referencias EndNote.

Desarrollo: se hizo referencia a las maniobras clínicas para el diagnóstico y las clasificaciones tomográficas en caso de fractura asociada del maléolo posterior. Se mencionaron los métodos de fijación rígidos y dinámicos, donde se describieron las características de cada uno basado en varios factores. Se expusieron las ventajas de la vía artroscópica tanto para el diagnóstico como para el tratamiento.

Conclusiones: las lesiones de la sindesmosis tibioperonea distal son frecuentes. Los estudios tomográficos ofrecen ventajas al determinar la extensión de la fractura del maléolo posterior. La vía artroscópica ofrece múltiples ventajas diagnósticas y terapéuticas.

Palabras clave

sindesmosis tibioperonea; tomografía computarizada; métodos de fijación; placas y tornillos; artroscopia del tobillo
