ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the patient flow in the emergency department and the number of surgeries performed, as well as to determine the incidence of diseases due to the impact generated by the pandemic in April, May, June, and July 2020. METHODS: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study that analyzed medical records using the TASY Phillips software. The 2019 information was compiled and served as a basis accomplish our comparative analyses. The ICD-10 was used to determine the different conditions considering the highest incidence of them. RESULTS: there was a reduction in attendance of 49.3%; the reduction in the number of surgeries was 34.39%; among the main diagnoses in decreasing order were: Pain in the Lumbar Spine (18.76%), Joint Pain (14.82%), Neck Pain (7.7%), Ankle Sprain (4.2%) and Pain in the Limb (3.54%). CONCLUSION: There was a decrease in the number of visits and the overall incidence of surgeries in our service. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective Study.
OBJETIVO: Avaliar e comparar o fluxo de pacientes no pronto-socorro e o número de cirurgias, bem como determinar a incidência das doenças pelo impacto gerado pela pandemia nos meses de abril, maio, junho e julho de 2020. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo retrospectivo transversal que analisou prontuários médicos por meio do software TASY Phillips. Foram compiladas as informações do ano de 2019, que serviram como base para realizar as análises comparativas. Foi utilizado o CID-10 para determinar as diferentes afecções de maior incidência. RESULTADOS: Houve redução nos atendimentos de 49,3%; a redução do número de cirurgias foi 34,39%; os principais diagnósticos em ordem decrescente foram: dor na coluna lombar (18,76%), dor articular (14,82%), cervicalgia (7,7%), entorse de tornozelo (4,2%) e dor no membro (3,54%). CONCLUSÃO: Houve decréscimo do número de atendimentos e da incidência global de cirurgias em nosso serviço. Nível de Evidência II, Estudo Retrospectivo.

ABSTRACT
Objective Radiographic evaluate if there are signs of early loosening of the cementless total knee arthroplasties Amplitude-Score® (Amplitude Surgical SAS, Valence, France), checking with a follow-up time ranging from 2 to 5.75 years (mean of 3.75 years). Methods Descriptive longitudinal investigation of observational nature, non-comparative, through a static radiographic study of annual control, of a case series, in a single center, all operated on by the same surgeon (S.M.). All cementless arthroplasties that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria performed from March 2012 to October 2014 were included. Results Among the 46 cementless knee arthroplasties evaluated in 40 patients, no radiographic signs of early loosening were verified. Conclusion Cementless arthroplasty promotes optimal osteointegration, with no early release, and it is essential that the surgical technique is perfectly respected.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mobilization with movement and kinesiotherapy in the treatment of patients with lateral epicondylosis. METHODS: This cases series included eight volunteers who had chronic lateral epicondylosis. The patients were treated with stretching, massage deep transverse at the lateral epicondyle and mobilization with movement associated with eccentric exercise. The mobilization with movement that consisted of a force of lateral glide of the proximal forearm. We performed twelve sessions, twice a week for 45 min/session. All patients underwent an evaluation with a visual analog scale and functional assessment through questionnaires patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation (PRTEE) and disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH), before and after the treatment. Data were analyzed by student's t test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: The results showed statistical differences in pain symptoms before and after treatment, in the analysis and functional assessment through both questionnaires comparing the pre and post treatment. CONCLUSION: The data obtained in this study demonstrates improvement of the function and pain status of the sample investigated.
