Doar pentru cei cu sange rece: MPFL reconstruction
|Nu glumesc. E un post doar pentru cei cu sange rece. Sau pentru cei cu aceeasi problema. Este o insemnare mai personala, poate neobisnuita pentru acest blog, dar una care vine in urma multor discutii pe care le am chiar si cu prieteni. Conditia nu este cunoscuta de multi, remediul este si mai putin familiar si ma gandesc ca in fapt toti cei care vor citi aceasta insemnare, acum si in viitor, vor putea afla niste amanunte importante.
Dupa cum stiti, genunchiul este cea mai utilizata articulatie a noastra (sau printre cele mai folosite). Rotula este un element important si atunci cand ea nu sta la locul ei (da, incerc sa utilizez un limbaj cat mai accesibil) apar problemele. Luxatiile de rotula. Daca vorbim doar de una, e mai bine. Imobilizarea pentru o perioada si-apoi recuperarea rezolva problema. Dar ce te faci cand se intampla sa ai parte de luxatii de rotula recidivante? (Ca mica precizare: problema afecteaza in mod deosebit fetele, si chiar de la varsta foarte frageda. La fel, nu are legatura cu practicarea unui sport. Da, multi sportivi au aceasta problema, dar nu doar ei.) Vorbim si despre dureri la nivelul genunchiului, mai ales la coborat, dar nu numai (manifestarile pot diferi putin de la un pacient la altul).
Ei bine, pana acum 7 ani nu prea aveai solutie. Si credeti-ma, o stiu. Si foarte bine, pentru ca am aceasta problema de mica. Cele mai importante sarituri de rotula au fost in clasa a VI-a si apoi in clasa a VIII-a. Da, asa, in anul de dinainte de examen, ca deh, trebuia sa ma distrez si eu 🙂
In ambele ocazii mi s-a pus piciorul in gips. Prima oara doar partea inferioara, cu fasa deasupra. A doua oara gips complet. De fiecare data imobilizare 3 saptamani si apoi lupta cu invatat sa merg – prima oara nu mai puteam sa ridic macar piciorul de pe pamant. Amintiri dureroase, priviri lungi aruncate de vecini sau alte persoane.
Apoi a mai fost una – dar nu mi s-a umflat genunchiul asa ca nu am mai ajuns la spital.
Eh, si-a venit iarna aceasta si la diferenta de 2 saptamani am avut parte de sariturile a 4-a si a 5-a. Dupa a 4-a, la 2 saptamani mergeam. Chiar am fost la o piesa de teatru.
Dupa insa, taman cand sa luam un taxi… s-a intamplat iar. Inca doare amintirea momentului. Probabil voi avea mereu aceasta senzatie.
Cert este ca in prima zi nu trecuse deloc, asa ca a doua zi am ajuns la spital. Am primit o orteza – in loc de gips. Doctorii mi-au explicat ca am nevoie de operatie, dar eu Batman, Batman. Mda, dupa una cu vreo 9 luni in urma, nu aveam chef de a doua operatie din viata si la mai putin de un an. Si la genunchi, de unde aveam deja suficient de multe sechele si amintiri de dureri si reincercat sa merg!
Din pacate, la o luna si ceva de la problema, genunchiul tot umflat era, nu puteam calca pe picior (nici macar in bazin!) asa ca n-am avut scapare.
Pe 28 martie, intr-o joi, a fost operatia de la 9 dimineata. Am ajuns cu 5 minute intarziere – asa ca am fost ca o mica vedeta: asteptata:P. Iar vineri, pe 29, in spital, cica implineam 7 ani de cand Andrei si eu ne-am cunoscut. Da, frumoasa aniversare. De neuitat cert. 😀
Dar sa revenim. Da, a trebuit sa merg la operatie.
Asa cum spuneam insa, operatia exista de doar 7 ani.
M-am lasat pe mana unei echipe de medici foarte competenti (stiam acest lucru). Am mers la spital de stat. Pentru cei care au aceeasi problema si cauta un medic, daca doriti sa aflati pe mana cui am “incaput” eu, va rog sa imi trimiteti un email – loredana [@] prwave.ro si o sa va spun. Sunt si in sistemul de stat, si in cel privat ca echipa si sunt intr-adevar buni chirurgi.
Operatia nu este dintre cele mai usoare. Sigur, acum se face pe banda rulanta si pentru fetele mult mai mici – da, problema afecteaza in general fetele. Dar operatia dureaza 3 ore – la mine atat a fost, conform datelor din fisa, din momentul instalarii anesteziei – ca deh, mai dureaza si aceea cateva minute pana isi face efectul.
De ce aceste luxatii de rotula care revin?
Pentru ca din pacate ligamentul care tine rotula la locul ei nu mai este foarte bun si de asemenea pentru ca nici “peretii” care “delimiteaza” zona in care se misca, in mod firesc, rotula nu sunt suficient de inalti, permitandu-i acesteia sa… “o ia pe aratura”, spre exterior. V-am spus ca incerc sa explic intr-un limbaj tare accesibil.
Cu ce ajuta operatia?
In mod absolut logic, operatia aceasta previne ca lucrurile sa mai stea la fel. Aliniaza rotula, o asaza unde trebuie. Si am eu radiografie care arata ca intr-adevar asa e! Operatia ajuta la fixarea rotulei in spatiul in care trebuie sa stea si inlocuieste acel ligament care nu mai este bun.
Nu, nu va temeti, nu veti avea un ligament de la altcineva sau de la vreun animal. Vi se ia un tendon de-al vostru, unul pe care odata luat nu il veti resimti ca lipsa in miscare. La final veti avea si 2 ancore fixate pe rotula si un surub resorbabil (depinde de fiecare in ce masura: poate fi 100% la unele persoane, poate fi doar partial la altele).
Acum, la 7 luni de la operatie, ma bucur ca am avut parte de aceasta interventie acum cand sunt inca tanara si nu la batranete cand si recuperarea este mai dificila si nici mobilitatea nu mai este aceeasi. In consecinta, daca aveti aceasta problema si medicul va recomanda operatia, desi nu sunt fan interventii (pe mine, ca altfel am vrut sa ma fac medic) va spun ca poate e bine sa luati in calcul operatia.
Ce trebuie sa fac dupa operatie?
Sa ascultati ce va spune medicul. Si mai ales sa va tineti de recuperare. Veti avea exercitii de facut acasa – cu pedalier sau bicicleta (mai indicat bicicleta) pentru a va recastiga mobilitatea si a putea flexa complet piciorul.
In prima faza dupa operatie va trebui sa faceti niste exercitii care sa duca la indoirea piciorului. In mod normal, in maxim 6 saptamani trebuie sa indoiti la 90 de grade. Puteti ajunge la 90 de grade de fapt in prima saptamana – e de munca, e si durere, dar se poate si este indicat pentru o recuperare completa.
Va urma apoi mersul la bazin – indicat de minim 2 ori pe saptamana. Eu recunosc ca am fost la cel de la MedLife pentru ca au un scaun cu care te coboara in bazin si medic kinetoterapeut. Cu putin ajutor insa puteti merge la bazin normal, medicul care va opereaza va spune oricum ce miscari trebuie sa faceti in apa.
Cert este ca veti avea de munca. Dar este pentru binele vostru.
Acest post este scris de un ne-specialist. Sigur, am citit, sigur stiu multe despre problema, dar nu sunt totusi medic. Am ales sa va spun insa de aceasta problema pentru ca multi s-ar putea sa nu stie despre luxatiile de rotula, cauzele si mai ales aceasta interventie.
Surse suplimentare de informatii
Va invit sa cititi si acest amplu material despre operatie, o descriere in engleza a problemei si a tehnicii in sine. Atentie, sunt cateva imagini din operatie ca fotografii (v-am spus ca trebuie sa aveti sange rece:) ). Da, linkurile duc spre documente in limba engleza pentru ca in romana nu am gasit informatii detaliate, din pacate – de aici de altfel si ideea insemnarii de fata.
Un alt document foarte relevant – si despre problema, dar si despre recuperare cu pasi si etape in recuperare si exercitii recomandate este Rehabilitation Guidelines for Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Repair and Reconstruction.
Si aici cititi tot despre interventia in sine si recuperare dupa MPFL Reconstruction.
Dar cel mai mult sange rece va trebuie pentru a vedea acet video. Este, evident, o sinteza a operatiei – incepe si cu explicatii – intrucat are, cu tot cu informatiile de la inceput, doar putin peste 15 minute.
Ati reusit sa vedeti tot videoclipul?
Sincer nu va doresc nici voua, celor care cititi acest post, sa aveti aceasta problema cu luxatie de rotula recidivanta si nu va doresc sa aveti nici cazuri in familie sau printre prieteni. Daca insa, din pacate, aveti cunostinta de asemenea cazuri, sper ca informatiile oferite si mai ales linkurile sa va ajute.
SALUT, CAT DUREAZA O RECUPERARE TOTALA? INTREBAREA ESTE DACA SE POATE FACE SPORT ULTERIOR SI CAM DUPA CAT TIMP. IN CAZUL MEU ESTE VORBA DESPRE RELUAREA ARTELOR MARTIALE DUPA PERIOADA DE RECUPERARE. MULTUMESC
Doctorii spun ca un sportiv se intoarce la activitate in aproximativ 6 luni, un militar dupa 9. Asadar oficial recuperarea este totala, insa te sfatuiesc sa discuti toate detaliile cu medicul care iti va face procedura. Multa sanatate!
Buna. Am citit cu interes ceea ce ai scris, suferind si eu o operatie ca a ta. Eu am 3 luni de kinetoterapie si inca nu pot indoi bine piciorul (ajung la max 70-80 grade cu ajutor), am dureri ingrozitoare la flexie si, pe scurt, nu vad ca decurge bine recuperarea. Cat de rapida/inceata a fost recuperarea ta? Imi poti povesti mai multe? Stiu ca este o operatie destul de rara la noi in tara si nu am gasit prea multe despre ea si recuperare in limba romana (iar in engleza sunt greu de inteles termenii medicali).
Multumesc mult!!!
Andreea, imi pare rau sa aud ca nu merge bine recuperarea. La mine nu m-au lasat sa ies din spital dupa 2 zile – cum se face – ci in a 5-a zi, timp in care am facut exercitii. La doua zile dupa aceea am ajuns sa indoi la 90 de grade. Mie mi-au recomandat doctorii exercitii de facut acasa (eu am avut si atrofie musculara, iar problema mea era de cand eram mica, genunchiul oricum nu se indoia complet etc.). De asemenea, mi-au recomandat – pe la vreo 5 luni parca – sa imi iau bicicleta medicinala acasa si sa fac exercitii – minim 20 de minute de 2 ori pe zi. In plus, in loc de kinetoterapie, pe mine m-au trimis la recuperare in bazin (cum nu puteam cobori in bazine normale, eu am gasit unul privat al unei clinici medicale, nu extrem de ieftin e drept, dar cu medic kinetoterapeut care sa indrume de asemenea, desi doctorii imi spusesera ce exercitii sa fac).
Durerile vor mai persista si la fel depinde de fiecare – si surubul asa cum poate ai aflat deja se poate sa fie resorbit de tot, partial sau deloc, in functie de corp. Eu sunt constienta ca nu o sa am niciodata o flexie totala – cat pot cu un picior normal – dar nu mai puteam face asta din clasa a VI-a, de la 12 ani asadar, ori operatia am avut-o la 30, ani in care piciorul meu nu a fost deloc unul 100% ca al unei alte persoane.
Iti doresc multa sanatate si sa te tii de recuperare. Durerile incep sa te mai lase dupa 6 luni, dar sa stii ca doar tragand de tine poti ajunge sa progresezi – da, cu dureri. Si ti-o zic in conditiile in care eu si acum incerc sa mai castig cateva grade (eu am ramas intre 90 si 100 de grade la flexie de atunci) si in fiecare zi doare articulatia in timpul exercitiului si chiar si cand merg…
Multumesc mult pentru raspuns
Din ceea ce citisem credeam ca esti recuperata in totalitate 😀
Din pacate, eu ajung pentru a doua oara la operatie (ori flexie fortata sub anestezie, ori alungirea ligamentului)
Multa sanatate si tie!
Fiica mea are aceasta problema la ambele picioare. Spune-mi te rog, la ce spital si la ce medic ai fost . Multumesc.
Si eu am aceeasi problema,de mica imi “sarea rotula de la loc”dar acum mai bn de 2 luni mia sarit din nou am mers la urgente si desi mi am pus piciorul sg la loc totusi eu au decis sa imi puna ghips mentiomez sa zic ca sunt in germania….am stat o sapt cu ghipsul dar aveam dureri cumplite asa ca am decis sa vad un specialist deoarece imi era foarte unflat…..mia scos vreo 10 siringe de sange din picior si pe loc mi sa desunflat am stat cu o ghenunchiera vreo 6 sapt inceput cat decat sa calc pe picior acum 2 sapt am fost la medic din nou si mi a zs ca am si o fractura milimetrica si va trebuie sa ma operez….ma simt foarte rau si mie frica ca nu voi mai putea purta tocuri niciodata(sunt model)…
Buna,
Am incercat sa iti dau email insa se intoarce inapoi. Am aceiasi problema ca tine. Dupa o operatie clasica de realiniere a rotulei, azi mi s-a recomandat mpfl. Nu sunt decisa unde/la cine sa ma operez, m-ar ajuta parerea ta.
Multumesc
I simply want to say I am beginner to blogging and site-building and seriously loved you’re web-site. More than likely I’m likely to bookmark your site . You really come with awesome articles and reviews. Thanks a lot for revealing your web site.
Aw, this was a very nice post. In concept I want to put in writing like this moreover – taking time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to get one thing done.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
You are so interesting! I do not think I have read something like that before. So great to discover somebody with a few original thoughts on this issue. Really.. many thanks for starting this up. This site is something that’s needed on the internet, someone with a little originality!
Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a great article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I think other web site proprietors should take this site as an model, very clean and great user friendly style and design, let alone the content. You are an expert in this topic!
I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
Hey there! I just want to offer you a big thumbs up for the excellent information you have got right here on this post. I am coming back to your site for more soon.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
You’re so cool! I don’t suppose I’ve truly read through a single thing like that before. So wonderful to find someone with genuine thoughts on this subject. Really.. thank you for starting this up. This site is something that is required on the web, someone with some originality!
You ought to take part in a contest for one of the finest websites on the net. I am going to recommend this website!
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my search for something concerning this.
Very nice blog post. I definitely love this site. Thanks!
This is the perfect website for anyone who hopes to find out about this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really will need to…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject which has been written about for decades. Wonderful stuff, just great!
Spot on with this write-up, I really feel this amazing site needs much more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read more, thanks for the information!
The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it won’t disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read, however I actually thought you’d have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of crying about something that you could fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.
I’m extremely pleased to find this page. I need to to thank you for your time due to this wonderful read!! I definitely liked every bit of it and I have you book-marked to see new stuff in your blog.
I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I came across this in my hunt for something concerning this.
Spot on with this write-up, I actually believe that this website needs a great deal more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read more, thanks for the information!
I’m pretty pleased to discover this great site. I need to to thank you for your time for this wonderful read!! I definitely really liked every part of it and i also have you saved to fav to check out new information on your blog.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Hey there! I simply would like to offer you a big thumbs up for your great information you have here on this post. I am coming back to your blog for more soon.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

When I originally commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment. Is there an easy method you are able to remove me from that service? Thanks!
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Aw, this was a very nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to generate a top notch article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and don’t manage to get anything done.
I was very pleased to find this web site. I want to to thank you for your time due to this wonderful read!! I definitely loved every bit of it and I have you book-marked to look at new stuff in your web site.
naturally like your website however you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the reality nevertheless I will definitely come again again.
I really enjoy looking at on this site, it holds superb blog posts. “Literature is the orchestration of platitudes.” by Thornton.
You made some respectable points there. I regarded on the web for the problem and located most people will go together with with your website.
It’s nearly impossible to find well-informed people for this topic, but you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
There’s noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made sure nice factors in options also.
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Great work!
