Abstract

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><strong>In­tro­duc­ción: </strong><span>La enfermedad de Parkinson es un trastorno neurodegenerativo progresivo y crónico, con una incidencia aproximada de 31/100.000 habitantes en la Argentina. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar un grupo de pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson sometidos a artroplastia total de rodilla.</span></p><p><span><strong>Materiales­ y ­Métodos:</strong>­ </span><span>Entre 2009 y 2011, se evaluó a 11 pacientes (edad promedio 68 años, rango 65-80) con enfermedad de Parkinson que fueron operados por artrosis de rodilla con prótesis cementadas estabilizadas a posteriori. Todos fueron evaluados con la escala analógica visual para el dolor, el Knee Society Scoring, el WOMAC y el grado de satisfacción subjetiva. El grado de afectación de la enfermedad de Parkinson se determinó con la escala modificada de Hoehn y Yahr. Se registraron las complicaciones.</span></p><p><span><strong>Resultados:</strong> </span><span>El seguimiento promedio fue de 2 años (rango 1-3). Las evaluaciones para dolor y funcionales arrojaron los siguientes resultados: la escala analógica visual para el dolor mejoró 3 puntos promedio; KSS dolor 37/74; KSS funcional 36/51, WOMAC 67/31. El grado de satisfacción de los pacientes fue de bueno a excelente en 7 casos. La escala modificada de Hoehn y Yahr fue de 1,5 puntos en el preoperatorio y de 2,6 puntos en el posoperatorio. Hubo 6 complicaciones: dos síndromes confusionales, una trombosis venosa profunda, una luxación protésica y dos prótesis dolorosas.</span></p><p><span><strong>Conclusión:­</strong> </span><span>La artroplastia total de rodilla en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson es un procedimiento que mejora los resultados funcionales y el dolor, pero provoca mayores complicaciones que en la población general. </span></p><div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><strong>Total ­knee­ arthroplasty­ in­ Parkinson’s ­disease­ patients.

Degree of Par- kinson severity was measured with the Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale. Complications were recorded.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> The average follow-up was two years (range 1-3). Results for pain and function were: visual analogue scale for pain improved an average of 3 points; KSS pain 37/74; functional KSS 36/51, WOMAC 67/31. Satisfaction was good to excellent in 7 cases. The Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale was 1.5 points preoperatively and 2.6 points postoperatively. There were 6 complications: two confusional syndromes, a deep venous thrombosis, a prosthetic dislocation and two painful prostheses.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> ­Total knee arthroplasty in patients with Parkinson’s disease is a procedure that improves functional outcomes and pain, but it produces more complications than in the general population. </p></div></div></div><p><span><br /></span></p></div></div></div>
