Description
Summary:Metastatic bone disease is the most common neoplastic process that affects the skeletal system. Eighty percent of bone metastases come from carcinomas of the breast, lung, kidney, thyroid and prostate. The Katagiri scale enables an estimation of the survival of patients based on the presence or absence of visceral metastases, multiple bone metastases and functional status according to the ECOG scale. A retrospective, descriptive and observational study conducted between March 1, 2013 and June 30, 2015. Thirty-two patients were studied with a diagnosis of metastatic bone disease and who had undergone some type of orthopaedic surgical treatment for pathological fracture or impending fracture. 28 cases (87.5%) presented pathological fracture and 4 cases (12.5%) impending fracture according to the Mirels score. Fifteen cases (46.875%) were treated by placing a central medullary nail+spacer in the long bone diaphysis, 15 cases (46.875%) with modular arthroplasties and 2 patients (6.25%) with forequarter amputation. Eleven patients (34.375%) died during the course of this study, all with a Katagiri greater than or equal to 4. The presence of a fracture in previously damaged territory is a catastrophic complication for most cancer patients. A clear understanding of the life expectancy of patients with bone metastases is of great help to prevent errors and failures in treatment. La enfermedad ósea metastásica es el proceso neoplásico más común que afecta al sistema esquelético. El 80% de las metástasis óseas están dadas por los carcinomas de mama, pulmón, riñón, tiroides y próstata. La escala de Katagiri permite hacer una estimación de la supervivencia de los pacientes con base en la presencia o ausencia de metástasis viscerales, múltiples metástasis óseas y el estado funcional. Estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y observacional realizado entre el 1 de marzo del 2013 y el 30 de junio del 2015 en donde se estudió a 32 pacientes con diagnóstico de enfermedad ósea metastásica a los que se les realizó algún tipo de tratamiento quirúrgico ortopédico por fractura patológica o inminencia de fractura. Veintiocho casos (87,5%) presentaron fractura patológica y 4 casos (12,5%) con inminencia de fractura de acuerdo con el score de Mirel; 15 casos (46,875%) fueron tratados mediante colocación de clavo centromedular + espaciador diafisario en huesos largos, 15 casos (46,875%) con artroplastias modulares y 2 pacientes (6,25%) desarticulación glenohumeral. Once pacientes (34,375
