ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effects of photobiomodulation on Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) treated conservatively. Design: Prospective, patient- and assessor-blinded, parallel, randomized controlled trial. Setting: Patients with acute ATR treated conservatively. Participants: Thirty-four male individuals with acute unilateral ATR treated conservatively (N=34), equally divided in 2 groups: photobiomodulation group (PBMG) and sham group, with mean age of 45.5±9.47 and 48.7±8.38 years, respectively. Intervention: All participants underwent through an immobilization period, followed by rehabilitation sessions (2 d/wk for 12 weeks) comprising strengthening, range of motion, and balance/weightbearing exercises. In PBMG, the tendon was irradiated with a photobiomodulation cluster (1 904 nm/50 mW infrared laser, 4 858 nm/50 mW infrared diodes, and 4 658 nm/40 mW red diodes; power density of 105 mW/cm2 per cluster area) during the immobilization period (2 d/wk for 8 weeks) and the sham group received a simulation of the procedure with no irradiation. Outcomes were assessed at the removal of the immobilization 12 and 16 weeks after tendon rupture. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome was the Achilles Tendon Rupture Score. Secondary outcomes included Numerical Pain Rating Scale at rest and during effort, plantar flexor strength, and ankle range of motion. Results: Both groups demonstrated an increase in the Achilles Tendon Rupture Score and improvements in range of motion, plantar flexor strength, and pain. There were no significant differences in outcomes between the 2 groups (P>.05) except in pain during walking, which was significantly lower in the PBMG in week 12 (P<.01, effect size=0.56) and week 16 (P<.01, effect size=0.55). Conclusion: Photobiomodulation associated with conservative treatment is not superior to conservative treatment alone for improving function in patients with acute ATR.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The objective of the study is to compare the radiographic and clinical results of two techniques for the treatment of hallux valgus that have the same indication, the open scarf/Akin (SA) technique and the percutaneous Chevron/Akin (PECA). METHODS: A meta-analysis was performed with the studies found during a systematic review of articles included in electronic databases until 30 May 2020. The pooled analysis was summarized according to clinical outcomes, such as visual analog pain scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, radiographic outcomes and complications, with a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: Three studies comparing the open scarf/Akin (SA) versus the PECA techniques were added to the analysis, corresponding to 235 feet, 102 in the PECA group and 133 in the SA. The final mean difference in the hallux valgus angle was 0.80 degrees and in the intermetatarsal angle 0.53, in the last radiographic evaluation. In the AOFAS score, the final mean difference was 4.97 points and in the VAS 0.14 in relation to the last clinical evaluation. Exposure to radiation during the surgical procedure was higher in the PECA group with a mean of 35.53 seconds. CONCLUSIONS: The PECA surgical technique for the treatment of hallux valgus when compared with SA demonstrated similar radiographic correction, pain and function after six months of follow-up but with a longer radiation exposure time. REGISTER OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEW (PROSPERO): CRD42018096613.

ABSTRACT

Hallux valgus (HV) is a very common deformity among foot disorders, therefore attracting strong interest from foot and ankle surgeons. We investigated publication trends on HV in the literature. The analysis was conducted through an electronic search of the Web of Science database for publications between 1999 and 2019, studying the data of origin through bibliometrics. The following search string was utilized: TI = (hallux valgus* OR hallux abductovalgus*) with filters for the English language and documents in article format. The "Bibliometrix" package of R software was used for the bibliometric analysis, and the VOSviewer was used to create graphs. A total of 789 articles were found in the electronic search, with 2,723 cited articles. The most common Web of Science category was Orthopedics (83.0%), and Coughlin M.J. was the main researcher in this field with the largest number of publications (17). The United States led in terms of the number of published articles (26.7%). An increase in the number of publications over time was noted, with 2016 being the year with the highest number of articles (78). The journal with the most articles was Foot and Ankle International, with 35.2% of the publications. The number of published studies on HV has increased rapidly since 2012. The United States ranks first in related research worldwide. The journal with the most articles was Foot and Ankle International.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Insufficiency fractures occur in bones with low elastic resistance. In contrast to stress fractures, which affect normal bones and have been extensively studied, insufficiency fractures of the foot and ankle have been the subject of little research. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors associated with the development of foot and ankle insufficiency fractures. METHODS: The study included 55 postmenopausal sedentary women with foot and ankle insufficiency fractures and 51 women in the control group. The data collected were the fracture site, body mass index, use of corticosteroids, T scores of the femur and lumbar spine measured by bone densitometry, and serum 25-OH vitamin D level. The calcaneal pitch (CP), talar-first metatarsal, and metatarsus adductus (MA) angles were measured on radiographs. RESULTS: In 49 patients (89%), fractures occurred in the metatarsals. All metatarsals were affected, and the most common fracture site was the base of the fifth metatarsal, with 21 cases (33%). Twenty patients (36%) in the study group reported chronic use of corticosteroids and had lower bone mineral density levels than controls (P < .05). The factors associated with fracture development (P < .05) were the CP and MA angles and low lumbar bone mineral density. CONCLUSION: Insufficiency fractures in this population were associated with low bone mineral density and unfavorable biomechanical characteristics such as pes cavus and metatarsus adductus. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IIIB, case-control study.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of untreated congenital clubfoot among children older than walking age is higher in developing countries due to limited resources for early care after birth. The Ponseti method represents an intervention option for older, untreated children. METHODS: A metanalysis was conducted of observational studies selected through a systematic review of articles included in electronic databases (Medline, Scopus, Embase, Lilacs, and the Cochrane Library) until June 2017. A pooling analysis of proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and a publication bias assessment were performed as routine. Estimates of success, recurrence, and complication rates were weighted and pooled using the random effects model. RESULTS: Twelve studies, including 654 feet diagnosed with congenital clubfoot in children older than walking age (older than 1 year old), were included for analysis. The rate of satisfactory outcomes found via a cluster metanalysis of proportions using the random effects model was 89% (95% CI = 0.82-0.94, p < 0.01), relative to the total analysed. The recurrence rate was 18% (95% CI = 0.14-0.24, p = 0.015), and the rate of casting complications was 7% (95% CI = 0.03-0.15, p = 0.19). CONCLUSION: Application of the Ponseti method in children with untreated idiopathic clubfoot older than walking age leads to satisfactory outcomes, has a low cost, and avoids surgical procedures likely to cause complications. The results obtained exhibited considerable heterogeneity.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Anesthetic block of the peripheral nerves in the foot and ankle is generally used as anesthesia. The increased use of anesthetic blocks has made this technique an increasingly safe method, and its use has been expanded to postoperative analgesia in foot and ankle surgeries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the analgesia time and pain intensity, using objective scores, after peripheral nerve block in foot and ankle surgeries. METHODS: Patients who underwent surgery by the foot and ankle group of our institution from March 2016 to January 2017 were invited to participate in this prospective, randomized, and blinded study after signing an informed consent form. The study was approved by the local ethics committee. In total, 57 patients and 59 feet (2 bilateral surgeries) were subjected to spinal anesthesia and were randomized into the group receiving peripheral nerve block in the foot and ankle (7.5 mg/mL ropivacaine) and the control group. The patients answered a questionnaire, administered by phone during the postoperative period, regarding measurement of pain intensity, using the visual analog scale (VAS), and the time of onset of pain. RESULTS: Improved pain was noted in patients who received a supplemental peripheral nerve block in relation to the duration of postoperative analgesia and the intensity of pain during the immediate postoperative period. No significant difference was found between the 2 groups in terms of pain intensity on the first or second postoperative day. CONCLUSION: Peripheral nerve block in the foot and ankle region can be used effectively as postoperative analgesia to reduce pain intensity during the immediate postoperative period and prolong analgesia. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, high-quality prospective randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the "Foot Function Index - Revised" (FFI-R) for use in Brazilian Portuguese. METHODS: The scale was translated and administered (as recommended by Guillemin, 2000) to 52 patients in the postoperative period after foot and ankle surgery. Seven days after the initial assessment, the scale was readministered by a different interviewer. The data were entered into an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using SPSS version 23.0 software for Mac. Reproducibility was assessed using intraclass correlation analysis. RESULTS: were considered statistically significant at a type I error rate of 5%. Results: The following random-effects intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were obtained for each score on the FFI-R: 0.625 for pain, 0.558 for stiffness, 0.757 for difficulty, 0.718 for activity restrictions, 0.854 for personal concerns, and 0.753 for the total score. CONCLUSION: The FFI-R was successfully translated to Portuguese and culturally adapted for use in Brazilian patients, demonstrating satisfactory validity and reliability. Level of Evidence I, Testing of Previously Developed Diagnostic Criteria on Consecutive Patients (with universally applied reference "golg" standard).

ABSTRACT

Os autores avaliaram e correlacionaram escores objetivos (escala AOFAS e correção angular) e subjetivos (questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36 e escala de satisfação subjetiva de Johnson) após tratamento cirúrgico de 20 pacientes (34 pés) portadores de hálux valgo dolorosos tratados com osteotomia distal do primeiro metatarsiano pela técnica em Chevron. A avaliação objetiva foi realizada através do escore AOFAS e pelo grau de correção angular pós-operatório do ângulo de valgismo do hálux (AVH), ângulo intermetatarsal I-II (AIM I-II), ângulo articular metatarsal distal (AAMD) e deslocamento dos sesamoides (DS). A avaliação subjetiva foi feita por meio de entrevista durante o seguimento pós-operatório através da aplicação do questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36 e escala de satisfação subjetiva de Johnson. A associação entre as avaliações objetivas e subjetivas foram medidas pelo coeficiente de correlação r que mede a força de associação entre duas variáveis. Houve melhora significativa (p < 0,05) em todos os parâmetros angulares. A pontuação alcançada no escore AOFAS mostrou ter relação direta com os resultados do SF-36 e com o grau de correção angular (principalmente AVH e AIM I-II), mas não com a escala de satisfação subjetiva de Johnson. Concluímos que: a pontuação obtida no AOFAS para hálux é influenciada pelo grau de correção do AVH e AIM I-II a despeito da pontuação obtida no escore AOFAS o grau de satisfação subjetiva não apresentou relação com esse escore a qualidade de vida (SF-36) era melhor nos pacientes com pontuação AOFAS elevada.

ABSTRACT

Os autores analisaram a literatura pertinente às técnicas de tratamento das deformidades adquiridas do pé do tornozelo, secundárias à neurartropatia de Charcot. Trabalhos científicos foram selecionados como fonte de consulta. Para a maioria dos pacientes portadores de neurartropatia está bem indicado o tratamento incruenteo com uso de gesso de contato total ou órtese tornozelo-pé A chave para o sucesso desse método é a imobilização por tempo prolongado, postergando a carga até a evidência radiográfica de consolidação óssea. O tratamento cirúrgico pode ser indicado na presença das deformidades grosseiras ou instabilidade das articulações do pé e do tornozelo que impedem o apoio plantígrado, causam hiperpressão ou quando o tratamento incruento ineficaz. Nesses casos, pode ser realizada a ostectomia das proeminências ósseas ou a artrodese modelante para alinhar ou estabilizar os pés e tornozelos deformados. Ostectomia das proeminências ósseas é cirurgia de menor morbidade, propiciando a cicatrização das úlceras; todavia, não corrige as deformidades do pé e tornozelo, dificultando a utilização de calçados e ou órteses. A artrodese modelante corrige as deformidades; contudo, pode determinar: infecção, retardo de consolidação, pseudartrose e recidiva das deformidades.

ABSTRACT

Os autores avaliam o resultado preliminar da artrodese tibiotalocalcânea em cinco pacientes (cinco pés), utilizando para fixaçäo a haste intramedular bloqueada. A indicaçäo da cirurgia foi por artrose grave do tornozelo e da articulaçäo subtalar, deformidade e instabilidade do retropé. O diagnóstico etiológico foi: neuroartropatia de Charcot (três pés), artropatia gotosa (um pé) e seqüela de fratura do colo do tálus (um pé). O tempo médio de seguimento foi de 31 meses (variando de 28 a 36 meses). Como resultado, obtiveram consolidaçäo em quatro pés e anquilose fibrosa assintomática em um pé. Os autores concluem que, apesar do curto período de seguimento pós-operatório, essa técnica mostrou resultados promissores no tratamento de casos de difícil soluçäo

ABSTRACT

Dezesseis pacientes portadores de pé torto congênito inveterado, todos apresentando deformidades graves e rígidas dos pés, foram submetidos à correção progressiva através da técnica de distração-osteogênese baseada nos princípios de Ilizarov. Oito pacientes eram do sexo feminino e oito do masculino. A média de idade no momento da cirurgia foi 20 anos (variando de 10 a 30 anos). Foram operados no total 20 pés (quatro eram bilaterais), sendo que sete destes apresentavam exuberante tecido cicatricial provenienteda recidiva após cirurgia(s) prévia(s). Empregou-se uma dissecção limitada das partes moles utilizando pequenas incisões cirúrgicas para a tenotomia do tendão calcanear e fasciotomia plantar. A osteotomia do mediopé foi associada em seis pés e osteotomia da perna para alongamento do membro foi realizada em um paciente. Foi feita correção gradual das deformidades através de distração lenta e progressiva das partes moles contraturadas e das estruturas osteoarticulares. O tempo médio de permanência do aparelho foi de quatro meses, seguido pelo uso de bota gessada por um mês adicional. O tempo médio de seguimento foi de 25 meses (variando de 6 a 44 meses). Todos os pacientes foram clinicamente reavaliados, obtendo- se, como resultado, 16 pés com aparência satisfatória, plantígrados, rígidos e indolores (12 pacientes). Graus variáveis de adução e varo residual foram observados em quase todos os pacientes, porém sem repercussões clínicas. Quatro pacientes (quatro pés) apresentaram eqüino residual e artrose sintomática do retropé. Foi necessária a realização de artrodese do retropé, envolvendo as articulações do tornozelo e subtalar, em três desses pacientes. As complicações mais freqüentes durante o transcorrer do tratamento foram: infecção superficial no trajeto dos fios, sofrimento de pequenas áreas da pele durante o período de correção da deformidade e contratura em flexão dos dedos.

ABSTRACT

Os autores analisam 53 casos atendidos na emergência do Hospital Universitário São Francisco de Assis, em Bragança Paulista, de janeiro de 1991 a dezembro de 1994, apresentando trauma de tórax. Houve necessidade de drenagem torácica, sendo que 50,94 por cento foram devidos a trauma aberto e 49,06 por cento a trauma fechado. Dos 84 casos atendidos com trauma de tórax em 53 (63,09 por cento) foi realizada toracostomia com tubo e drenagem sob selo d'água. Observamos complicações em 11,32 por cento dos casos, sendo que 3,76 por cento foram devidos a complicações pulmonares e 7,56 por cento a outras complicações. Dos óbitos que pudemos observar (5,66 por cento), apenas 1,88 por cento foi devido a complicações pulmonares.
