new YORK (Reuters Health) – a study reveals that the
results in smokers knee surgery are worse
which in the non-smoking that includes a healing not so
complete and more surgical complications.
smoking affects blood circulation, “so
alters the process of cure musculoskeletal”, said the
Dr. Kurt Spindler, Vanderbilt orthopaedic surgeon
University, Nashville, Tennessee, and that did not participate of the
study.
doctor David Flanigan, co-author of the study and medical
deportologo of The Ohio State University, Columbus, said that
surgeons suspected that smoking was associated
with poor results of surgery for knee. then, with
his team reviewed the medical literature to find any proof.
it gathered the results of 14 studies. eight research
had analyzed surgical repair of the ligaments of
knee including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and six
studies had revised the repair of cartilage of knee.
all but a study on ACL surgery found that the
smokers tended to evolve worse than non-smokers, according to
publishes The American Journal of Sports Medicine.
for example: smokers were less likely to recover its
pre-surgical sporting level and felt more pain. A study of
the Faculty of Medicine of University of Pittsburgh determined
that patients who smoked were 64 percent less
likely than non-smokers to perceive a good evolution of
surgery.
the only study that found no difference between smokers and
the risk of developing non-smoking had analysed them
osteoarthritis of the knee.
four Estudios sobre la cirugÃa de cartÃlagos determinó que
los fumadores eran menos propensos que los geen fumadores een
obtener resultados quirúrgicos excelentes, geen recuperaban tanta
functionality de la rodilla años despues o tenÃan menos
proteÃnas saludables en el lÃquido de la rodilla. nl cambio, dos
estudios geen hallaron diferencias entre los niveles de dolor y
función.
La Sociedad Estadounidense de Ortopedia nl Medicina del Deporte
estima que nl Estados Unidos se producen Oenas 150.000 lesiones
de LCA por año.
“geen contamos con un porcentaje. Les dirÃa (een los pacientes) que
la cirugÃa tiene una creciente tasa de fallo, de pacientes que
geen evolucionan tan bien como los geen fumadores”, dijo Flanigan.
Los estudios revisados geen pudieron probar que el tabaquismo
fuera la única causa de los resultados quirúrgicos negativos en
los rokers. Vandaar, Flanigan zei dat we meer moeten doen
studies over de biologie van het roken en de reparatie van de
knie om te bepalen van de oorzaak van deze resultaten.
