Abstract
CEDRE GONZALEZ, Juan Carlos; MOYA TONEUT, Carlos and ESTUPINAN, Lázaro Martín Martínez. Pregnancy and Orthopaedics. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.3 Epub Sep 01, 2023. ISSN 1029-3043.
Introduction:
pregnant women suffer from multiple orthopaedic conditions; therefore, care demands for this cause are on the rise.
Objective:
to update the treatment of traumatic and orthopaedic injuries in pregnant patients and coordinate the indications for cesarean section.
Methods:
theoretical and empirical methods were used to carry out the analysis of updated knowledge regarding these affections.
Results:
we determined that normal delivery is possible after a pelvic fracture, as long as there are no sequelae that damage the birth canal. Back pain was a common symptom in pregnant women but in those with scoliosis the discomfort was more frequent. Symphysis pubis diastasis was associated with the McRobert's maneuver; and the indication for cesarean section was suggested based on purely obstetric criteria, although the orthopaedic and traumatic conditions present in the patients were respected.
Conclusions:
to increase the knowledge of the personnel, who work with the pregnant women, based on their risk factors and the possibilities of mitigating damage due to these causes.
