Tratamento do dedo em gatilho: revisão de ensaios clínicos e observacionais / Trigger finger treatment: review of clinical and observational trials

Introdução: O dedo em gatilho é uma das causas mais comuns de deficiência nas mãos. Possui uma distribuição bimodal, em pacientes com menos de dezoito anos de idade e adultos na quinta e sexta décadas de vida. As modalidades de tratamento conservador para o dedo em gatilho incluem modificaçãoda atividade manual do paciente, protocolos de exercícios para terapia manual, injeção de corticosteroides, medicamentos anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais orais ou injetáveis, e imobilização com uso de órteses. Enquanto o manejo cirúrgico consiste na liberação aberta ou percutânea da polia A1. Objetivo: Sintetizar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura científica, evidências sobre o tratamento do dedo em gatilho. Metodologia: Foram avaliados os ensaios clínicos publicados nos últimos cinco anos (2017-2022), obtidos na base de dados PUBMED com a utilização da seguinte estratégia de busca: "trigger finger"[title]. Resultados: Foram revisados 14 estudos, que eram compostos de 12 artigos e duas cartas aos editores. Conclusão: O tratamento mais citado foi a injeçãode corticosteroides, e se observou que as aplicações com doses maiores geram respostas de maior sucesso. Em relação a procedimentos cirúrgicos a liberação percutânea da polia A1 apresenta maior nível de recuperação e satisfação, além de menor taxa de recorrência e dor em comparação à injeção de corticosteroides

Introduction: The trigger finger is one of the most common causes of disability in the hands. It has a bimodal distribution in patients under eighteen years of age and adults in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Conservative trigger finger treatment modalities include modification of the patient's manual activity, exercise protocols for manual therapy, corticosteroid injection, oral or injectable non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and immobilization with the use of orthotics. While surgical management consists of the open or percutaneous release of the A1 pulley. Objective: To synthesize, through a review of scientific literature, evidence on trigger finger treatment. Methodology: We evaluated the clinical trials published in the last five years (2017-2022), obtained from the PUBMED database using the following search strategy: "Trigger finger"[title]. Results: 14 studies were reviewed, which were composed of 12 articles and two letters to the editors. Conclusion: The most cited treatment was corticosteroid injection, and it was observed that applications with higher doses generate more successful responses. In relation to surgical procedures, the percutaneous release of the A1 pulley presents a higher level of recovery and satisfaction, as well as a lower rate of recurrence and pain compared to corticosteroid injection

Introducción: El dedo en gatillo es una de las causas más comunes de deficiencia en las manos. Tiene una distribución bimodal, en pacientes menores de dieciocho años y adultos en la quinta y sextas décadas de vida. Las modalidades de tratamiento conservador para el dedo en gatillo incluyen la modificación de la actividad manual del paciente, Protocolos de ejercicio para terapia manual, inyección de corticosteroides, medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos orales o inyectables, e inmovilización con el uso de aparatos ortopédicos. Mientras que el manejo quirúrgico consiste en la liberación abierta o percutánea de la polea A1. Objetivo: Sintetizar, a través de una revisión de la literatura científica, evidencias sobre el tratamiento del dedo en gatillo. Metodología: Se evaluaron los ensayos clínicos publicados en los últimos cinco años (2017-2022), obtenidos en la base de datos PUBMED mediante la siguiente estrategia de búsqueda: "trigger finger"[title]. Resultados: Se identificaron 14 estudios y después de leer el título y el resumen, en los que se incluyeron 12 artículos y dos cartas a los editores en el estudio. Conclusión: El tratamiento más citado fue la inyección de corticoides, y se observó que las aplicaciones con dosis más altas generan respuestas más exitosas. En relación a los procedimientos quirúrgicos, la liberación percutánea de la polea A1 presenta un mayor nivel de recuperación y satisfacción, así como una menor tasa de recurrencia y dolor en comparación con la inyección de corticosteroides

Efficacy of the use of templating in total hip arthroplasty

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional preoperative planning with the use of templating. METHOD: Forty-three anteroposterior X-rays were analyzed by three experienced surgeons (A, B, C) and compared. Cohen's Kappa concordance test and weighted Kappa indexes using quadratic weighting were used for statistical analysis with a confidence interval of 95%. RESULTS: The preoperative evaluations were divided into the analysis of the sizes of the acetabular cup, stem and plug of the distal femoral canal. Surgeon A obtained a moderate agreement in relation to the acetabular component and substantial agreements in relation to the stem and plug. Surgeon B had moderate agreement in relation to both the acetabulum and the stem and substantial agreement in relation to the plug. Surgeon C obtained moderate agreement in relation to the analysis of the acetabulum and the plug and substantial agreement for the stem. The intraobserver agreement test demonstrated a prevalence of slight agreement in relation to the acetabulum and substantial agreement in relation to the stem and to the plug. CONCLUSION: Templating used in preoperative planning proved effective; however, there was a prevalence of slight and moderate agreement in relation to the size of the acetabular component. .

O uso de enxerto homólogo na revisão de artroplastias do quadril com cimentação do componente acetabular

A artroplastia total do quadril representa um grande avanço no tratamento das enfermidades ortopédicas que acometem o quadril. A soltura asséptica desta prótese pode causar lesões e perdas ósseas, representando um grande desafio para a reconstrução cirúrgica destas artroplastias. Uma das alternativas para a reconstrução é o uso do enxerto ósseo de banco de ossos, podendo este ser usado em bloco ou na forma picada. Este estudo, baseado em uma revisão da literatura sobre enxertos ósseos, teve como objetivo uma análise quanto à reconstrução com enxertos em bloco e picado e sua integração. O enxerto picado mostrou melhores resultados quanto à integração quando se consegue estabilidade da reconstrução. Quando não conseguimos uma boa estabilidade, o enxerto em bloco associado aos anéis de reforço sobressai como a melhor opção.

Hip total arthroplasty represents a breakthrough in the treatment of orthopaedic illnesses affecting the hip. The aseptic loosening of this prosthesis may cause injuries and bone losses, representing a great challenge for the surgical reconstruction of those arthroplasties. One alternative to reconstruction is the use of bone graft sourced by bone bases, which may be used as a block or in pieces. This study, based on a literature review addressing bone grafts, had as an objective to analyze reconstruction with grafts in blocks and in pieces and its union. The graft in pieces showed better results concerning union when reconstruction stability is achieved. When a good stability cannot be achieved, the graft in block combined with reinforcement rings is highlighted as the best option.
