Summary: | Abstract
Scaphocapitate syndrome, also called Fenton syndrome, is a rare, complex condition. Since it is often missed on initial evaluation, it is a diagnostic challenge. A high index of suspicion is required for early surgical treatment, avoiding future palliative surgery or sequelae. Cutting-edge diagnostic technologies, including three-dimensional printed models, are becoming essential tools, enabling the treatment of complex trans-scaphocapitate fracture-dislocations using open reduction and internal fixation with screws, with excellent outcomes at a 12-month follow-up period.
Resumen
El síndrome escafocapitate, o síndrome de Fenton, es una entidad compleja y muy poco frecuente, que suele pasar desapercibida en su primera atención, por lo que supone un reto diagnóstico. Una alta sospecha es necesaria para llevar a cabo un tratamiento quirúrgico temprano que nos evite complicaciones futuras, así como cirugías paliativas o de secuelas. La utilización de tecnologías diagnósticas punteras se convierte cada vez más en una herramienta imprescindible, como es la impresión de modelos 3D, que nos ha permitido tratar mediante reducción abierta y fijación interna con minitornillos una compleja fractura-luxación transescafo-hueso grande, obteniendo excelente resultado a los 12 meses de seguimiento. |
