RESUMO
Introduction: Jiu-jitsu is an ancient martial art originally from Japan and very common in Brazil, usually known as Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Jiu-jitsu aims to "finish" the opponent through projections, strangulations and immobilizations, which can lead to certain orthopedic injuries with certain particularities such as: type, location and frequency, information that is crucial for prevention and treatment. Objective: This study aims to identify an epidemiological aspect of orthopedic injuries present in jiu-jitsu practitioners. Material and Method: 96 jiu-jitsu practitioners, between 18 and 45 years old, male and female, answered a questionnaire that addressed personal data and history of injuries related to the sport in the last 24 months. Results: 85% of the sample presented injuries related to the practice of jiu-jitsu in the period covered, with an average of 60 days of absenteeism from sports practice. The joints most affected by orthopedic injuries were: fingers, shoulders and knees. Conclusion: orthopedic injuries are quite prevalent in the practice of jiu-jitsu, often distancing athletes from their practice.

O jiu-jitsu tem como objetivo "finalizar" o oponente através de projeções, estrangulamentos, torções e imobilizações, o quê, podem levar a determinadas lesões ortopédicas com certas particularidades como: tipo, local e frequência, informações estas cruciais para prevenção e tratamento. Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar um perfil epidemiológico das lesões ortopédicas presentes em praticantes da modalidade jiu-jitsu. Material e Método: 96 praticantes de jiu-jitsu, entre 18 e 45 anos, de ambos os sexos, responderam a um questionário que abordou dados pessoais e histórico de lesões relacionadas à prática do esporte nos últimos 24 meses. Resultados: 85% da amostra apresentou lesão relacionada à prática do jiu-jitsu no período abordado, com média de 60 dias de absenteísmo da prática esportiva. Os locais mais acometidos por lesões ortopédicas foram: dedos, ombros e joelhos. Conclusão: as lesões ortopédicas são bastante prevalentes na prática do jiu-jitsu, muitas vezes afastando os atletas de sua prática.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Injuries to the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are most commonly associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury than with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury. There is currently a paucity in the literature in regards to treatment and outcomes of such lesions. METHODS: 30 patients underwent surgical treatment of concomitant LCL and ACL injury or concomitant LCL and PCL injury with follow-up postoperative period of two years. The Lysholm score and varus stress radiographs was calculated and analysed before and at 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in scores between two timepoints over the follow-up period for both groups: before surgery and after 6 months, and between 6 and 12 months (pâ¯<â¯0.05). The lateral joint opening measured on the varus stress radiographs was greater in group 2 than in group 1 before surgery (pâ¯=â¯0.04). When assessing each group separately, the lateral joint opening decreased at each timepoint in the first year for both groups (pâ¯<â¯0.05). CONCLUSION: Patients diagnosed with combined LCL and PCL injuries were shown to have a higher degree of lateral opening at the time of injury when compared to patients with combined LCL and ACL injuries. However, there was no difference in lateral joint opening on stress radiography after 12 months postoperatively in either group. Finally Lysholm scores for both groups significantly increased between the preoperative period and 6 months postoperatively, as well as between 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
