Resumen
La osteomielitis, con un tratamiento a base de antibióticos, y quirúrgico en casos más específicos; normalmente tiene un buen pronóstico si se siguen adecuadamente las recomendaciones. No obstante, todo parte de un adecuado diagnóstico, que incluso dictará los procedimientos a seguir en cada persona. Se revisaron las principales causas que originan la osteomielitis en los pacientes en general, sin embargo, el mayor énfasis fue hecho en los pacientes de 50 a 60 años, en parte concreta en los pies de ellos; motivo por el cual debemos primero conocer el porqué de la enfermedad, ya que esta ataca a cualquier edad desde los neonatos hasta los adultos mayores. Cabe destacar que esta anomalía se da por diversos motivos o causas, para ello nos basaremos primero en la enfermedad, su detección, tratamiento y posteriormente al protocolo de IRM en el cual determinamos que tan avanzada esta la osteomielitis en cada caso especifico. Para el diagnóstico, se utilizaron los equipos de resonancia magnética del hospital Luis Vernaza. De entre las técnicas de imágenes para detección de la evolución de este problema de salud, ésta es la más precisa, ya que revela con exactitud la magnitud del problema. Las pruebas de laboratorio no son totalmente fiables en la detección de osteomielitis en los pacientes, como han indicado varios estudios. Para culminar, es de resaltar, que a estas edades debemos de hacernos chequeos periódicos de manera general ya que al pasar el tiempo las enfermedades se desarrollan y si no las detectamos y prevenimos sabemos que las consecuencias pueden ser graves. Incluso, padecimientos como la diabetes exigen controles más frecuentes; y las infecciones por heridas en los pies, no se deben tener en poco de parte del paciente o sus familiares. Una prueba de IRM podría llegar a prevenir cuadros infecciosos más graves.
Osteomyelitis, with a treatment based on antibiotics, and surgical in more specific cases; It usually has a good prognosis if the recommendations are followed properly. However, all part of an adequate diagnosis, which will even dictate the procedures to follow in each person. We reviewed the main causes of osteomyelitis in patients in general, however, the greatest emphasis was made on patients aged 50 to 60 years, in particular on their feet; For this reason we must first know the reason for the disease, since it attacks at any age from neonates to older adults. It should be noted that this anomaly occurs for various reasons or causes, for this we will first rely on the disease, its detection, treatment and then the MRI protocol in which we determine how advanced osteomyelitis is in each specific case. For the diagnosis, the magnetic resonance equipment of the Luis Vernaza Hospital was used. Among the imaging techniques for detecting the evolution of this health problem, this is the most accurate, since it accurately reveals the magnitude of the problem. Laboratory tests are not totally reliable in the detection of osteomyelitis in patients, as several studies have indicated. To culminate, it is noteworthy that at these ages we should do regular check-ups in a general way since, over time, the diseases develop and if we do not detect them and prevent them, we know that the consequences can be serious. Even, conditions like diabetes require more frequent controls; and infections due to foot wounds, should not be taken too little by the patient or their relatives. An MRI test could potentially prevent more serious infectious conditions.
