Bristow-Latarjet Surgery: A Current Overview in Brazil / Cirurgia de Bristow-Latarjet: Um panorama atual do Brasil

Abstract Objective To provide a current overview of the Bristow-Latarjet surgery in Brazil. Materials and MethodsThis cross-sectional study was based on an electronic questionnaire with 26 items, which was sent to active members of the Brazilian Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia do Ombro e Cotovelo, SBCOC, in Portuguese). The questionnaire addressed training, surgical technique, complications, and postoperative management. Results We sent the questionnaire to 845 specialists from April 20 to May 12, 2021, and 310 of them answered i in full. During their specialization, most specialists participated in up to ten Bristow-Latarjet procedures. The most frequent complication was graft fracture, while the most common technical difficulty was screw positioning. In total, 50.6% and 73.9% reported having experienced intraoperative and postoperative complications respectively; 57.1% declared performing subscapularis suture; 99.7% indicated postoperative immobilization; and 61.9% considered graft consolidation fundamental. Conclusion Most specialists participated in up to ten Bristow-Latarjet procedures during the specialization, but 13.5% of them graduated without participating in the surgery. The most frequent complication was graft fracture. The most common technical difficulty was screw positioning. Most participants prefer postoperative immobilization since they believe graft consolidation is essential to resume the practiced of sports. The highest complication rate occurred with specialists who have obtained their titles 11 to 15 years ago. In Brazil, the Southeast region is the largest producer of specialists and has the highest concentration of these professionals.

Resumo Objetivo Traçar um panorama atual da cirurgia de Bristow-Latarjet no Brasil. Materiais e Métodos Estudo transversal no qual um questionário eletrônico com 26 perguntas sobre aspectos de formação, técnica cirúrgica, complicações e manejo pós-cirúrgico foi enviado a membros ativos da Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia do Ombro e Cotovelo (SBCOC). Resultados Entre 20 de abril e 12 de maio de 2021, o questionário foi enviado a 845 especialistas, e obteve-se 310 respostas completas. Durante a especialização, a maior parte dos especialistas participou de até dez procedimentos de Bristow-Latarjet. A complicação mais frequente foi a fratura do enxerto, e a dificuldade técnica, o posicionamento dos parafusos. Ao todo, 50,6% já tiveram complicações no intraoperatório; 73,9% já tiveram complicações no pós-operatório; 57,1% fazem a sutura do subescapular; 99,7% indicam a imobilização no pós-operatório; e 61,9% consideram a consolidação do enxerto fundamental. Conclusão A maior parte dos especialistas participou de até dez procedimentos de Bristow-Latarjet durante a especialização, mas 13,5% se formaram sem ter participado de nenhuma cirurgia. A complicação mais frequente foi a fratura do enxerto. A dificuldade técnica mais frequente foi o posicionamento dos parafusos. Imobilização no pós-operatório é a preferência da maioria dos participantes, que consideram fundamental a consolidação do enxerto para o retorno ao esporte. O maior número de complicações ocorreu com especialistas que obtiveram o título de 11 a 15 anos atrás. A região Sudeste é a maior formadora de especialistas e onde está concentrada a maior parte deles.

Comparison of the efficacy between open and arthroscopic Latarjet procedure in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability:a Meta-analysis / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the clinical efficacy between open and arthroscopic Latarjet procedure in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability by using Meta-analysis.@*METHODS@#Search PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Wanfang database, China Biological Literature system(CBM) and VIP database. Review all retrospective or prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials on open and arthroscopic Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability. Binary variables (postoperative recurrence rate, incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications) and continuousvariables [shoulder external rotation range of motion, Walch-Duplay score, Rowe score, WOSI score, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), postoperative anxiety degree and operation time] were selected for analysis. NOS bias risk assessment criteria (recommended by Cochrane collaboration Network) were used to evaluate the literature quality of retrospective or prospective cohort studies, and modified Jadad scale was used to evaluate the quality of randomized controlled trials. Literature screening, literature quality evaluation and data extraction were carried out independently by two observers. RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta analysis.@*RESULTS@#(1)A total of 9 studies were included, including 8 retrospective cohort studies and 1 prospective cohort study. A total of 956 patients were included in this study, including open Latarjet procedure(@*CONCLUSION@#The arthroscopic Latarjet stabilisation shows satisfactory and comparable results to open procedure, and the postoperative recurrence and complication rates are low in both group. Both open and arthroscopic Latarjet procedure are reliable surgical procedures in the treatment of anteriorly shoulder instability. Arthroscopic procedure has longer learning curve than open procedure, the doctors may either choose arthroscopic or open Latarjet procedure based on personal skills and preference, as well as the patient's condition. However, all the literatures included in this study are cohort studies with low level of evidence. The research lack randomized controlled trials, and small sample size is small. In the future, randomized controlled studies with large sample size and high level of evidence are still needed to determine the efficacy difference between the two.

Glenoumeral dislocation: a prospective randomized study comparing spazo and kocher maneuvers

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and to compare the Spaso and Kocher reduction maneuvers in terms of efficiency, time of reduction, facileness, pain, discomfort to the patient, complications and risks, besides promoting the comparison between the two maneuvers, aiming to ground the emergency conduct. METHODS: A prospective study with 105 patients with acute shoulder dislocations were enrolled in the study between February 2011 and September 2012. The patients were randomized into two groups and they were submitted to the reduction of dislocation using the Spaso maneuver (group A) or the Kocher technique (group B) by first, second or third-year orthopedic surgery residents from our service. The results were evaluated and compared. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, gender, timing of reduction, number of precedent episodes and complications after reduction. However, reduction was achieved in more cases using the Spaso method than it was among the Kocher group, as well as the mean duration of the reduction maneuver and discomfort were shorter in the group A patients. CONCLUSIONS: Both methods presented good results in terms of dislocation reduction and low complications rates. Nevertheless, the Spaso maneuver was more efficient, fast and easily applicable in comparison with Kocher's method. Level of Evidence I, Therapeutic.

Arthroscopic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction versus open modified Weaver-Dunn procedure for acromioclavicular joint dislocations:comparison of curative effect / 北京大学学报(医学版)

Objective:To compare the surgical outcomes between arthroscopic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction and open modified Weaver-Dunn procedure for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dis-locations.Methods:From January 2011 to June 2012, 63 consecutive patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocations who were treated with either arthroscopic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction or open modified Weaver-Dunn procedure were retrospectively reviewed after the final follow-up.There were 49 men and 14 women with a mean age of (40.3 ±10.6) years.The mean time from injury to surgery was (10.3 ±5.3) d.According to the Rockwood classification, there were 45 patients with type V injury and 18 patients with typeⅢinjury.All the patients with typeⅢinjury claimed high level of sport activi-ty.The patients were divided into the arthroscopic surgery group (32 cases) or the open surgery group (31 cases) depending on the type of the surgery that each patient had taken.All the patients were rou-tinely followed up after the surgery.The visual analogue score ( VAS ) , American shoulder and elbow surgeons( ASES) score and University of California Los Angeles( UCLA) score were employed to evaluate the postoperative shoulder function.The postoperative radiographs of both shoulders were taken for each patient to evaluate the loss of reduction of the acromioclavicular joint.Re sults:The mean follow-up time was (29.6 ±6.0) months ( range:24 to 43 months) .No significant difference was found between the arthroscopic surgery group and the open surgery group with regard to the patient’ s age [(41.0 ±10.5) years vs.(38.0 ±10.8) years], gender (male/female,24/8 vs.25/6), classification (Ⅴ/Ⅲ,22/10 vs. 23/8), time from injury to surgery [(10.6 ±4.9) d vs.(10.1 ±5.7) d], dominant involvement (19/32 vs.17/31)and mean follow-up time [(29.8 ±6.4) months vs.(29.5 ±5.5) months], P>0.05.At the end of the last follow-up, no significant difference was noted between the two groups regarding the mean forward elevation [(164.4 ±17.2) degrees vs.(162.6 ±12.9) degrees], mean external rotation [(60.9 ±17.0) degrees vs.(57.3 ±15.8) degrees], mean internal rotation [(T12 ±3 vertebrae) vs. (T12 ±3 vertebrae)], mean ASES scores (96.0 ±5.1 vs.94.5 ±3.8)and UCLA scores (34.2 ±1.5 vs. 33.7 ±1.4), P>0.05.The rate of loss of reduction was significantly lower in the arthroscopic surgery group (1/32) compared with the open surgery group (7/31, P=0.026).Conclusion:Surgical treatment for acromioclavicular joint dislocations with either arthroscopic reconstruction or open modified Weaver-Dunn procedure could yield good results with no significant difference between the two groups as for the postoperative shoulder function.The rate of loss of reduction was lower in the arthroscopic surgery group compared with that of the open surgery group.

La luxación acromioclavicular es una patología condicionada por problemas traumáticos y aplicación de sobrecarga, que da como resultado una lesión del sistema capsulo-ligamentario y muscular, que conlleva a una lesión incapacitante al individuo que la padece; por lo general son del sexo masculino y por un mecanismo de lesión con contusión directa en la punta del hombro. La técnica de Copeland Kessel, es una alternativa para su estabilización, basándonos en la baja tasa de complicaciones y la reincorporación del paciente a su vida normal al cabo de 12 semanas(AU)

Acromioclavicular dislocation is a condition influenced by trauma and application problems of overload that results in injury to the capsular ligamentous system and muscle that leads to a disabling injury to the person who suffers it, usually are male and the mechanism is a direct contusion injury on the tip of the shoulder. Copeland Kessel technique is an alternative for stabilization, based on the low rate of complications and the patient return to normal alter 12 weeks(AU)

Prevalência das lesões associadas na luxação recidivante traumática do ombro / Prevalence of lesions associated with traumatic recurrent shoulder dislocation

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência das lesões associadas à instabilidade anterior traumática do ombro e a relação entre o número de episódios e o tempo do início dos sintomas com a prevalência destas lesões. MÉTODO: Foram selecionados 57 pacientes com instabilidade anterior traumática do ombro, entre 18 e 40 anos, com mais de um episódio de luxação do ombro e com no mínimo, seis meses da primeira luxação, que necessitaram de cirurgia para tratamento da instabilidade. Foi realizada inspeção artroscópica em todos os pacientes para avaliação das lesões associadas. RESULTADOS: Foi avaliada a prevalência das lesões, sendo a lesão de Bankart a mais prevalente seguida pela lesão de Hill-Sachs e as lesões do manguito rotador as menos prevalentes. Não houve correlação comparando o número de episódios de luxação com a prevalência de lesões associadas. Já em relação ao tempo de sintomas, os pacientes com maior tempo de sintomas tiveram menos lesão de Hill-Sachs. CONCLUSÃO: Não foi possível afirmar que, em pacientes com instabilidade crônica do ombro, as lesões associadas aumentam com o tempo de sintomas ou com o número de episódios de luxação.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of lesions associated with traumatic anterior shoulder instability and the relationships between the prevalence of these lesions and the number of episodes and time since symptoms started. METHOD: Fifty-seven patients aged 18 to 40 years, with traumatic anterior shoulder instability, more than one episode of shoulder dislocation and at least six months since the first dislocation, who required surgery to treat the instability, were selected. Arthroscopic inspection was performed on all the patients to assess any associated lesions. RESULTS: The prevalence of lesions was assessed, and Bankert lesions were the most prevalent, followed by Hill-Sachs lesions, while rotator cuff injuries were the least prevalent. There was no correlation from comparison between the number of episodes of dislocation and the prevalence of associated lesions. On the other hand, in relation to the time since symptoms started, the patients who had had symptoms for longer times had fewer Hill-Sachs lesions. CONCLUSION: It was not possible to affirm that, in patients with chronic shoulder instability, the numbers of associated lesions increased with the time since symptoms started, or with the number of episodes of dislocation.
