Introduction and objetctives Our objective was to compare the rate of complications in thoracolumbar fractures that occurred during the early postoperative period in patients with multiple high-energy trauma according to the time of surgery. As a secondary objective, to estimate which variables were associated with surgery before 72 h. Material and methods Retrospective analysis of a series of patients with thoracolumbar fractures and multiple associated injuries in other anatomical regions due to high energy trauma. Surgically treated in an occupational trauma referral center, by the same surgical team and during the period between January 2013 and December 2019. Results We analyzed a sample of 40 patients (39 men and 1 woman). The rate of complications was independent of surgical delay (before and after 72 h) (p = 0.827). There were statistically significant differences between early and later surgery groups in the variables age, systolic blood pressure, initial SOFA score and presence of neurological damage (p = 0.014; p = 0.029; p = 0.032; p = 0.012). The overall surgical delay was correlated with the SOFA score (p = 0.007). Conclusion The rate of early postoperative complications did not show significant differences between the early and late surgery groups. We observed that the patients who had been operated before 72 h from trauma were younger, had more association with neurological syntoms, presented higher blood pressure values and less physiological damage. Surgical delay was positively correlated with SOFA score on arrival. |
