Syndrome Report

Le syndrome de loge sur positionnement prolongé en lithotomie ou en hémilithitomie, est une complication rare en chirurgie. Les dommages neurovasculaires sont souvent permanents. On reporte deux cas d'ostéosynthèse du fémur en position d'hemilithotomie, compliqués d'un syndrome de loge de la jambe controlatérale. Une revue de la littérature sur les 40 cas décrits, jusqu'à ce jour, nous démontre que cette complication est fortement liée au positionnement du patient et à la durée opératoire. Compte tenu du pronostic fonctionnel incertain, une limitation du temps de positionnement en lithotomie doit être recherchée. La surveillance postopératoire doit être rigoureuse et sans hésitation quant à une fasciotomie éventuelle sur simple examen clinique ou après la mesure de la pression dans les loges. Une technique de positionnement sur la table orthopédique est proposée.

Patient Database

Background & aim: Tibia fractures are relatively common injuries that are accompanied with acute compartment syndrome in approximately 2% to 20% of cases. Although the shoe-lace technique, where vessel loops are threaded in a crisscross fashion and tightened daily, has been widely used, no studies have compared the shoe-lace technique with the conventional one. The aim of this study was to compare the shoe-lace technique with the conventional technique. Materials and Methods: We identified 359 consecutive patients with intramedullary nailed tibia fracture and complete medical records including outpatient data between April 2007 and April 2015 from electronic patient database of our institute. The use of the shoe-lace technique was compared to conventional one (in which wounds were first left open with moist dressings). Main outcome measurement is direct closure of fasciotomy wounds. Results: From 359 consecutive patients with intramedullary nailed tibia fracture, fasciotomy was performed on 68 (19%) patients. Of these, the shoe-lace technique was used in 47 (69%) patients while in 21 (31%) patients, the shoe-lace technique was not applied. Side-to-side approximation was successful in 36 patients (77%) in the shoe-lace+ group and 7 patients (33%) in the shoe-lace– group (p = 0.002). Conclusion: The main finding of our comparative study was that the shoe-lace technique seems to ease direct closure of lower leg fasciotomy wounds, and thus reduces the frequency of free skin grafts. Our finding needs to be confirmed in a high-quality randomized controlled trial.
