RESUMO

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and functional results of simultaneous reconstruction of the ACL and PCL with bilateral hamstring autografts. We hypothesized that this reconstruction technique results in less morbidity and has similar results to the ones published in the previous literature. Methods Eighteen patients with bicruciate lesions were selected and treated by arthroscopic surgery with autologous hamstring tendons in a single-stage procedure. The thicker semitendinosus tendon (ST) and the two gracilis tendons (G) were used for a 6-strand PCL reconstruction. The thinner ST was used for a 3-strand ACL reconstruction. The average patient age at surgery was 31 years, and the minimum follow-up was 2 years. Function of the operated knee was evaluated according to the Lysholm scale. Anterior knee laxity was examined with a KT-1000 arthrometer. Posterior laxity was evaluated using stress radiographies. Results Statistically significant improvements were found for all three measurements ( p < 0.001). Knee function by the Lysholm score increased from 43.8 ± 4.1 to 89.9 ± 3.8 post-surgery. The average anterior knee laxity improved from 5.2 + -0.8 mm initially to 2.4 + - 0.5 mm post-surgery. The posterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur decreased from 10 ± 3.4 mm to 3 ± 1.6 mm post-surgery. No patient showed loss of motion in extension or knee flexion. Conclusion The simultaneous bicruciate reconstruction with bilateral hamstring autograft is a valuable option to achieve good functional outcomes and ligamentous stability.

RESUMO

Objective: to radiographically compare the effects of anchor positioning in the arthroscopic treatment of shoulder instability, in the 3- and 5-o'clock portals. Methods: retrospective study of 36 patients, operated by two shoulder surgeons at the Unimed BH hospital, between January 2013 and January 2018. Each surgeon used only one of either the 3- or the 5-o'clock portal. After postoperative radiographs we performed angle comparisons between the greatest glenoidal axis, the angle of anchor insertion and distance from the inferior pole. Results: the 5-o'clock portal provided better placement than its 3-o'clock counterpart, which allowed for greater orthogonality in relation to the glenoid rim (p < 0.05). Conclusion: the 5-o'clock portal allowed for better anchor placement than the 3 o'clock one. Level of Evidence II, Clinical Trial.


Objetivo: Comparar radiograficamente o posicionamento das âncoras utilizadas no tratamento artroscópico da instabilidade do ombro, através dos portais de 3 ou 5 horas. Métodos: Avaliação retrospectivae de 36 pacientes, operados por dois cirurgiões de ombro do Hospital Unimed BH, entre janeiro de 2013 e janeiro de 2018. Cada cirurgião utilizou apenas uma das técnicas ­ portal de 3 ou 5 horas. As radiografias pós-operatórias foram avaliadas e comparadas a angulações entre o maior eixo da glenoide, o ângulo de inserção da âncora e a distância em relação ao polo inferior. Resultados: A utilização do portal de 5 horas propiciou a colocação mais adequada das âncoras em relação ao portal de 3 horas, permitindo o posicionamento mais ortogonal em relação à borda da glenoide (p < 0,05). Conclusão: A utilização do portal de 5 horas apresenta melhor posicionamento das âncoras quando comparado ao portal de 3 horas. Nível de evidência II, Ensaio Clínico.

RESUMO

Objective: Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common injuries in athletes and is often associated with damage to anterolateral structures. This combination of injuries presents itself clinically as a high-grade pivot shift test. The hypothesis of this study is that patients with ACL deficiency and high-grade pivot shift test should have an increased internal knee rotation. Methods: Twenty-two patients were tested. After effective spinal anesthesia, two tests were performed with the patient in supine position. First, the bilateral pivot shift test was performed manually, and its grade was recorded. Then, with the knee flexed to 90 degrees, the examiner drew the projection of the foot in a neutral position and in maximum internal rotation, and the angle of internal rotation was measured from the axes built between the central point of the heel and the hallux. Results: In the ACL-deficient knee, it was observed that there is a statistically significant average internal rotation (IR) delta of 10.5 degrees between the groups when not adjusted for age, and 10.6 degrees when adjusted for age. Conclusions: Knees with ACL deficiency and with pivot shift test grade I do not show increased internal rotation in relation to knees with intact ACL. Knees with ACL deficiency and with pivot shift test grades II and III show increased internal rotation in comparison to healthy knees.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To demonstrate how the use of adjunctive Computed Tomography (CT) can modify diagnosis, treatment options, and operative planning of ankle fractures in comparison with conventional radiographs (CR) in isolation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 53 patients diagnosed with an ankle fracture between 2011 and 2016, were assessed with CT and CR. Evaluations of the fractures using CR in isolation and CR combined with CT were compared using different readers. Fractures were assessed in terms of type, displacement, size, associated injuries, treatment, patient position and surgical planning. RESULTS: The medial malleolus fractures characteristics (posteromedial fragment and anterior colliculus), the presence of posterior malleolus fracture and its characteristics (displacement, size, posteromedial or posterolateral segment) (ps < 0.042), syndesmosis injury (p < 0.001), and the absence of deltoid ligament lesion (p < 0.001), were more evident with the combination of CT and radiographs. There was an increase in operative indication (p = 0.007), prone positioning (p = 0.002), posterior malleolus surgical treatment (p < 0.001), posterolateral approach for the lateral malleolus (p = 0.003), and syndesmosis fixation (p = 0.020) with the association of CT and CR, among all groups of expertise, with a high interobserver reliability (> 0.75). CONCLUSIONS: The CR may fail to demonstrate subtle lesions, such as posterior malleolus fractures and syndesmotic injuries. The CT evaluation increases the diagnostic precision and improves the quality of information the surgeon receives, what might positively affect patient care. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: Retrospective Comparative Study.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) has been proposed to resolve rotatory instability following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The present meta-analysis aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of ACLR and ACLR with LET using the modified Lemaire technique. Materials and Methods We performed a meta-analysis following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) staement. The literature search was performed on the PubMed, EBSCOHost, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and WileyOnline databases. The data extracted from the studies included were the study characteristics, the failure rate (graft or clinical failure) as the primary outcome, and the functional score as the secondary outcome. Comparisons were made between the patients who underwent isolated ACLR (ACLR group) and those submitted to ACLR and LET through the modified Lemaire technique (ACLR + LET group). Results A total of 5 studies including 797 patients were evaluated. The ACLR + LET group presented a lower risk of failure and lower rate of rerupture than the ACLR group (risk ratio [RR] = 0.44; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 0.26 to 0.75; I2 = 9%; p = 0.003). The ACLR + LET group presented higher scores on the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) regarding the following outcomes: pain, activities of daily living (ADL), sports, and quality of life (QOL), with mean differences of 0.20 (95%CI: 0.10 to 0.30; I2 = 0%; p < 0.0001), -0.20 (95%CI: -0.26 to -0.13; I2 = 0%; p < 0.00001), 0.20 (95%CI: 0.02 to 0.38; I2 = 0%; p = 0.03), and 0.50 (95%CI: 0.29 to 0.71; I2 = 0%; p < 0.00001) respectively when compared with the ACLR group. Conclusion Adding LET through the modified Lemaire technique to ACLR may improve knee stability because of the lower rate of graft rerupture and the superiority in terms of clinical outcomes. Level of Evidence I.


Resumo Objetivo A tenodese extra-articular lateral (TEL) foi proposta para resolver a instabilidade rotatória após a reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (RLCA). Esta metanálise teve como objetivo comparar os resultados clínicos da RLCA e da RLCA com TEL por meio da técnica de Lemaire modificada. Materiais e Métodos Esta metanálise foi feita de acordo com a declaração dos Itens Principais para Relatar Revisões Sistemáticas e Metanálises (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis, PRISMA, em inglês). A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada nos bancos de dados PubMed, EBSCOHost, Scopus, ScienceDirect e WileyOnline. Dos estudos incluídos foram extraídas informações sobre as características do estudo, a taxa de falha (falha clínica ou do enxerto) como resultado primário, e o escore funcional como resultado secundário. Foram feitas comparações entre os pacientes submetidos apenas à RLCA (grupo RLCA) e à RLCA e TEL pela técnica de Lemaire modificada (grupo RLCA + TEL). Resultados Foram avaliados 5 estudos que incluíam 797 pacientes. O grupo RLCA + TEL apresentou um risco menor de falha e menor taxa de rerruptura do que o grupo RLCA (razão de risco [RR] = 0,44; intervalo de confiança de 95% [IC95%] 0,26 a 0,75; I2 = 9%; p = 0,003). O grupo RLCA + TEL obteve pontuações maiores no Escore de Desfechos de Osteoartrite e Lesão no Joelho (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, KOOS, em inglês) com relação aos seguintes desfechos: dor, atividades cotidianas (AC), esportes, e qualidade de vida (QV), com diferenças médias de 0,20 (IC95%: 0,10 a 0,30; I2 = 0%; p < 0,0001), -0.20 (IC95%: -0,26 a-0,13; I2 =0%; p < 0,00001), 0,20 (IC95%: 0,02 a 0,38; I2 = 0%; p = 0,03) e 0,50 (IC95%: 0,29 a 0,71; I2 = 0%; p < 0,00001), respectivamente, quando comparado com o grupo RLCA. Conclusão O acréscimo de TEL pela técnica de Lemaire modificada à RLCA pode melhorar a estabilidade do joelho devido à menor taxa de rerruptura do enxerto e à superioridade dos resultados clínicos. Nível de evidência I.

RESUMO

Abstract The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is the strongest lateral stabilizer of the knee. It provides support against varus stress and posterolateral rotation of the knee. Lateral collateral ligament injuries mostly occur together with anterior and/or posterior cruciate ligament injuries. While grades 1 and 2 injuries are treated conservatively since they are partial injuries, total ruptures, as in grade 3, require surgical treatment. In conventional LCL reconstruction methods, hamstring grafts are used, and bioscrews are used in bone-tendon fixation. Lateral collateral ligament reconstruction is usually performed as a component of multiple ligament surgery. Therefore, there is a need for a contralateral hamstring tendon or allograft. The present article aims to define a technique that does not require tendon grafts and bioscrews in fibular fixation.


Resumo O ligamento colateral lateral (LCL) é o estabilizador lateral mais forte do joelho. Ele fornece suporte contra o estresse varus e a rotação de posterolateral do joelho. As lesões de LCL ocorrem principalmente com lesões do ligamento cruzado anterior e/ou posterior. Enquanto as lesões grau 1 e 2 são tratadas de forma conservadora, uma vez que são lesões parciais, rupturas totais, como no grau 3, requerem tratamento cirúrgico. Utilizam-se enxertos isquiotibiais nos métodos convencionais de reconstrução da LCL e bioscrews na fixação do tendão ósseo. A reconstrução do LCL é geralmente realizada como um componente de cirurgia de ligamento múltiplo. Portanto, há necessidade de um tendão contralateral ou aloenxerto. O presente artigo tem como objetivo definir uma técnica que não exija enxertos tendíneos e bioscrews na fixação fibular.

Resumo Objetivo: A ruptura do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) é uma das lesões mais comuns em atletas e está frequentemente associada a danos nas estruturas anterolaterais. Esta combinação de lesões apresenta-se clinicamente como um teste de pivot shift de alto grau. A hipótese deste estudo é que pacientes com deficiência de LCA e teste de pivot shift de alto grau tenham aumento da rotação interna (RI) do joelho. Métodos: Vinte e dois pacientes foram testados. Após raquianestesia efetiva, foram realizados dois testes com o paciente em posição supina. Primeiro, o teste de pivot shift bilateral foi realizado manualmente e seu grau foi registrado. Em seguida, com o joelho flexionado a 90 graus, o examinador traçou a projeção do pé em posição neutra e em RI máxima e mediu o ângulo de RI a partir dos eixos construídos entre o ponto central do calcanhar e o hálux. Resultados: Joelhos com deficiência de LCA apresentam delta da RI média estatisticamente significativo de 10,5 graus entre os grupos sem ajuste de idade e de 10,6 graus com ajuste de idade. Conclusões: Joelhos com deficiência do LCA e teste de pivot shift de grau I não apresentam aumento da RI em relação aos joelhos com LCA íntegro. Joelhos com deficiência do LCA e teste de pivot shift de graus II e III apresentam RI em comparação aos joelhos saudáveis.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and functional results of simultaneous reconstruction of the ACL and PCL with bilateral hamstring autografts. We hypothesized that this reconstruction technique results in less morbidity and has similar results to the ones published in the previous literature. Methods Eighteen patients with bicruciate lesions were selected and treated by arthroscopic surgery with autologous hamstring tendons in a single-stage procedure. The thicker semitendinosus tendon (ST) and the two gracilis tendons (G) were used for a 6-strand PCL reconstruction. The thinner ST was used for a 3-strand ACL reconstruction. The average patient age at surgery was 31 years, and the minimum follow-up was 2 years. Function of the operated knee was evaluated according to the Lysholm scale. Anterior knee laxity was examined with a KT-1000 arthrometer. Posterior laxity was evaluated using stress radiographies. Results Statistically significant improvements were found for all three measurements (p < 0.001). Knee function by the Lysholm score increased from 43.8 ± 4.1 to 89.9 ± 3.8 post-surgery. The average anterior knee laxity improved from 5.2 + −0.8 mm initially to 2.4 + - 0.5 mm post-surgery. The posterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur decreased from 10 ± 3.4 mm to 3 ± 1.6 mm post-surgery. No patient showed loss of motion in extension or knee flexion. Conclusion The simultaneous bicruciate reconstruction with bilateral hamstring autograft is a valuable option to achieve good functional outcomes and ligamentous stability.


Resumo Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os resultados clínicos e funcionais da reconstrução simultânea do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) e ligamento cruzado posterior (LCP) com autoenxertos bilaterais de isquiotibiais. Nossa hipótese é que esta técnica de reconstrução gera menor morbidade e tem resultados semelhantes aos publicados na literatura anterior. Métodos Dezoito pacientes com lesões em LCA e LCP foram selecionados e tratados por cirurgia artroscópica com tendões isquiotibiais autólogos em procedimento único. O tendão semitendinoso (ST) mais espesso e os dois tendões do músculo grácil (G) foram usados para a reconstrução do LCP com seis fios. O ST mais fino foi usado para reconstrução do LCA com três fios. A média de idade dos pacientes à cirurgia foi de 31 anos e o acompanhamento mínimo foi de 2 anos. A função do joelho operado foi avaliada de acordo com a escala de Lysholm. A lassidão anterior do joelho foi examinada com um artrômetro KT-1000. A lassidão posterior foi determinada por meio de radiografias de estresse. Resultados Melhoras estatisticamente significativas foram observadas nas três medidas (p < 0,001). A função do joelho pelo escore de Lysholm aumentou de 43,8 ± 4,1 para 89,9 ± 3,8 após a cirurgia. A lassidão anterior média do joelho melhorou de 5,2 ± 0,8 mm para 2,4 ± 0,5 mm após a cirurgia. A translação posterior da tíbia em relação ao fêmur diminuiu de 10 ± 3,4 mm para 3 ± 1,6 mm no período pós-operatório. Nenhum paciente apresentou perda de movimento em extensão ou flexão do joelho. Conclusão A reconstrução simultânea do LCA e do LCP com autoenxerto bilateral dos isquiotibiais é uma opção valiosa para obtenção de bons resultados funcionais e estabilidade ligamentar.

RESUMO

Introduction: The anterolateral ligament in the knee has a fundamental role in the rotational stability of the joint. Its non-inclusion for the surgical repair of anterior cruciate ligament is a possible cause of postsurgical rotational instability in these patients. This ligament holds global scientific relevance in terms of its morphology and biomechanics. It is encouraged as a subject of research in order to understand and underscore its stabilizing role in locomotion activities. Objectives: To determine the frequency and anatomical variability of the anterolateral ligament in cadaveric knees. Methods: Nineteen knees from embalmed cadavers were included in the study. The anterolateral ligament was identified using the dissection technique and morphometric measurements and their anatomical characteristics were taken. Results: After a plane dissection, the ligament was visualized in 68.4 percent of the samples, with a mean length of 20.5 mm. and a thickness of 0.43 mm. Its insertion at the level of the femoral condyle registered a greater amplitude than that of the distal, which was found close to the head of the fibula. Conclusions: The anterolateral ligament was found as an independent structure, and their fibers presented an anteroinferior orientation from the lateral epicondyle of the femur, closely related to the articular capsule(AU)


Introducción: El ligamento anterolateral de la rodilla tiene un papel fundamental en la estabilidad rotacional de la articulación. Su no inclusión en la reparación quirúrgica del ligamento cruzado anterior es una posible causa de inestabilidad rotacional posquirúrgica en estos pacientes. Este ligamento tiene relevancia científica mundial por su morfología y biomecánica. Se fomenta como objeto de investigación para comprender y subrayar su papel estabilizador en las actividades de locomoción. Objetivos: Determinar la frecuencia y variabilidad anatómica del ligamento anterolateral en rodillas cadavéricas. Métodos: Se incluyeron en el estudio 19 rodillas de cadáveres embalsamados. Se identificó el ligamento anterolateral mediante la técnica de disección y se tomaron medidas morfométricas y sus características anatómicas. Resultados: Tras una disección plana, el ligamento se visualizó en el 68,4 por ciento de las muestras, con una longitud media de 20,5 mm y un grosor de 0,43 mm. Su inserción a nivel del cóndilo femoral registró una amplitud mayor que la distal, que se encontró próxima a la cabeza del peroné. Conclusiones: El ligamento anterolateral se encontró como una estructura independiente, y sus fibras presentaron una orientación anteroinferior desde el epicóndilo lateral del fémur, en estrecha relación con la cápsula articular(AU)

RESUMO

Objective This study assesses the relationship between the glenoid bone loss size and range of motion, functional outcomes, and complications in high-performance athletes undergoing bone block surgery for anterior shoulder instability. Methods This retrospective study evaluated postoperative outcomes in athletes submitted to bone block surgery for anterior shoulder instability. In 5 years, 41 shoulders underwent the procedure; 20 had bone losses up to 15%, and 21 shoulders presented bone losses ranging from 15% and 25%. Results There was no statistically significant difference regarding postoperative complications, new dislocations, and the rate of return to sports. In addition, the quantitative criteria evaluated, i.e., ranges of motion and functional scores, showed no statistically significant difference between groups. Conclusion The size of the bone loss per se does not seem to affect functional outcomes and complications from these procedures, which are safe techniques for small and large bone losses.

RESUMO

The posterolateral corner is critical to knee stability. Neglected injuries have a direct impact on the prognosis due to residual instability, chronic pain, deformities, and failure to repair other structures. Several techniques are used to reconstruct the posterolateral corner, often with autologous ischiotibial grafts or homologous grafts. An option little used for knee ligament reconstructions is the peroneus longus tendon graft. Although reported as a good alternative for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, we found no case using a peroneus longus tendon graft for posterolateral corner reconstruction. Here, we describe the case of a patient who underwent a non-anatomical reconstruction of the posterolateral corner using a peroneus longus tendon graft. The patient underwent surgical procedures for ligament reconstruction and correction of the deformity caused by a failed graft, but his knee remained unstable. During the preoperative planning, it was decided to reconstruct the posterolateral corner with an ipsilateral peroneus longus tendon graft. Studies have shown that the peroneus longus tendon graft does not increase ankle morbidity, and that its length and diameter favor ligament reconstruction. Thus, the present article highlights the importance of the proper diagnosis of ligament injuries in the acute phase, and describes a new technique for posterolateral corner reconstruction that must be included in the surgeon's body of knowledge, increasing the amount of technical options.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To determine the association between medial femoral condyle hypoplasia and trochlear dysplasia by analyzing the knee magnetic resonance imaging scans of young patients with or without trochlear dysplasia. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of magnetic resonance imaging scans of the knees of young individuals (16-35 years of age): 30 patients with trochlear dysplasia and 30 individuals with no signs of patellofemoral instability. The ratios between the depth, width, and height of the medial and lateral femoral condyles (dLC/dMC, wLC/wMC, and hLC/hMC, respectively) were calculated, as was the ratio between the width of the medial condyle and the total width of the femur (wMC/FW). All of the values were determined in consensus by two radiologists. Results: We evaluated 60 patients: 30 with trochlear dysplasia and 30 without. The mean dLC/dMC, wLC/wMC, and hLC/hMC ratios were higher in the patients than in the controls (p < 0.05), whereas the mean wMC/FW ratio was lower in the patients (p < 0.05). The optimal cutoff values, obtained by calculating the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves, were 1.0465 for the dLC/dMC ratio (76% sensitivity and 63.3% specificity), 0.958 for the wLC/wMC ratio (80% sensitivity and 73.3% specificity), and 1.080 for the hLC/hMC ratio (93.3% sensitivity and 93.3% specificity). Conclusion: Our findings confirm our hypothesis that trochlear dysplasia is associated with medial condyle hypoplasia.


Resumo Objetivo: Determinar a associação entre hipoplasia do côndilo femoral medial e displasia troclear mediante análise de ressonância magnética do joelho de pacientes jovens com displasia troclear e sem displasia troclear. Materiais e Métodos: Análise retrospectiva de exames de ressonância magnética de joelhos de indivíduos jovens (16 a 35 anos de idade), sendo 30 pacientes com displasia troclear e 30 indivíduos sem sinais de instabilidade femoropatelar. As razões entre a profundidade, largura e altura dos côndilos femorais mediais e laterais (dLC/dMC, wLC/wMC e hLC/hMC, respectivamente) foram calculadas, assim como a razão entre a largura do côndilo medial e a largura total do fêmur (wMC/FW). Todos os valores foram determinados em consenso por dois radiologistas Resultados: Foram incluídos no estudo 60 adolescentes e adultos jovens, 30 com displasia troclear e 30 sem displasia troclear. A média das razões dLC/dMC, wLC/wMC, hLC/hMC foi maior nos pacientes do que nos controles (p < 0,05), enquanto a média da razão wMC/FW foi menor nos pacientes (p < 0,05). Os valores de corte ótimos obtidos da área sob a curva característica de operação do receptor foram 1,0465 para dLC/dMC (sensibilidade de 76% e especificidade de 63,3%), 0,958 para wLC/wMC (sensibilidade de 80% e especificidade de 73,3%) e 1,080 para hLC/hMC (sensibilidade de 93,3% e especificidade de 93,3%). Conclusão: Nossos resultados confirmam nossa hipótese de que a displasia troclear está associada a hipoplasia do côndilo medial.

RESUMO

Objective To provide a current overview of the Bristow-Latarjet surgery in Brazil. Materials and Methods This 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

Anterior shoulder instability causes functional changes that affect patients' quality of life. The Latarjet procedure is one of the most frequently performed surgeries for cases of recurrent shoulder instability. Objective: To assess the level of satisfaction of patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure in outpatient settings (day hospital) compared with inpatient settings. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to both groups and a descriptive analysis of the results was performed. Results: 51 patients were included, with a mean age of 29.9 years, 82.3% men and 17.6% women. Of the patients who underwent surgery in the day hospital, 46.1% were operated within 100 days of their first outpatient visit; among those in the inpatient group, 76.3% underwent surgery more than 200 days later. Delays occurred in 15.3% of cases in the day hospital compared with 68.4% in the inpatient group. Of the patients in the day hospital, 92.3% felt comfortable contacting the medical team in case of complications and would perform the procedure again in the same setting. Moreover, 63.2% of inpatients would have preferred to have been discharged on the same day. The final satisfaction rate for both groups was 100%. Conclusion: Outpatient surgery guarantees more patient comfort, safety, and can be performed in a timely manner and with fewer delays, which has influenced patients' decision to have surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Level of Evidence V, Cross-sectional Study.


A instabilidade anterior do ombro acarreta alterações funcionais que impactam a qualidade de vida do paciente. A cirurgia de Latarjet é um dos procedimentos mais executados para casos de instabilidade recorrente de ombro. Objetivo: Comparar o grau de satisfação dos pacientes submetidos ao procedimento de Latarjet no regime ambulatorial (hospital dia) com o dos operados no regime hospitalar. Métodos: Um questionário foi aplicado em ambos os grupos e uma análise descritiva dos resultados foi realizada. Resultados: Foram incluídos 51 pacientes, com idade média de 29,9 anos, sendo 82,3% homens e 17,6% mulheres. Dos submetidos à cirurgia no hospital dia, 46,1% operaram em até 100 dias depois do primeiro atendimento ambulatorial; já entre os do grupo hospitalar, 76,3% operaram mais de 200 dias depois. O atraso na cirurgia ocorreu com 15,3% dos pacientes do hospital dia contra 68,4% do grupo hospitalar. Do hospital dia, 92,3% pacientes sentiram-se confortáveis em contatar a equipe médica em caso de intercorrências e fariam novamente o procedimento de forma ambulatorial. Além disso, 63,2% dos internados gostariam de ter recebido alta no mesmo dia. O grau de satisfação final em ambos os grupos foi de 100%. Conclusão: A cirurgia ambulatorial garante mais conforto para o paciente, mostrando-se segura e podendo ser performada em tempo hábil e com menos atrasos, o que influenciou a decisão dos pacientes em operar durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Nível de Evidência V, Estudo Transversal.

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.

RESUMO

Introduction: Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) is used in most patellar instability surgeries, there is controversy on adding a tibial tuberosity osteotomy (TTO). Objective: To describe the results of isolated MPFLR in patellar instability according to the Tibial Tuberosity-Trochlear Groove distance (TT-TG). Methods: Retrospective study of patients with patellar instability with a mature skeleton in one center between 2016 and 2021, using isolated MPFLR. Patients with incomplete clinical and/or radiological records and less than one year follow-up were excluded. Pre-surgical demographic and radiological data (TT-TG, Caton-Deschamps (CD) index, patellar tilt, trochlear dysplasia) were recorded. Patients were divided into three groups according to TT-TG distance (Group 1: < 17 mm, Group 2: 17-19, Group 3: ≥ 20 mm). A pre and post-surgical Kujala score was performed. Local complications, satisfaction, recurrence and/or reintervention were recorded. Pre-surgical variables between groups, intra and inter-group Kujala differences were compared using Bartlett's test. Consent from the patients and approval from the local ethics committee were obtained. Results: 67 patients met the selection criteria, mean age of 23 years, 70% were women. There were no pre surgical, radiological nor follow-up differences between the groups (average 27 months). Pre and post-surgical Kujala score, respectively: Group 1: 37-78, Group 2: 37-78, Group 3: 39-79. All groups had a significant improvement (p < 0.05), there were no significant differences in improvement between groups (p > 0.05). There were three patients with a redislocation episode, all in group 1. One patient had a mobilization under anesthesia due to an arthrofibrosis (Group 2). 97% of all cases reported being satisfied. Conclusion: Isolated MPFLR in patellar instability presents a functional improvement, with a low rate of complications and failure, regardless of the pre surgical TT-TG. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43465-023-00906-6.

RESUMO

Objective: To describe the functional results, recurrence rate, postoperative radiographic appearance, and complications of patients undergoing the Latarjet procedure over 24 months. Methods: Retrospective case series, including adult patients with recurrent traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation undergoing the Latarjet procedure. We clinically evaluated patients preoperatively by the Rowe score and at six, 12, and 24 months after the procedure. The positioning, consolidation, and resorption of the graft were analyzed by plain radiography. The recurrence rates and other complications were also described. Results: We analyzed 40 patients (41 shoulders). The Rowe score median increased from 25 before surgery to 95 at 24 months after surgery (p < 0.001). We observed graft resorption in three cases (7.3%) and consolidation in 39 (95.1%). Most grafts presented adequate placement. We observed two recurrences (4.8%), one case of dislocation and one of subluxation. Seven patients (17.1%) had a positive apprehension test. The study had no cases of infection, neuropraxia, or graft breakage. Conclusion: Latarjet surgery is a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder. This surgery enables a statistically significant improvement according to the Rowe score, with a low number of recurrences. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.


Objetivo: Descrever os resultados funcionais, a taxa de recidiva, o aspecto radiográfico pós-operatório e as complicações de pacientes submetidos ao procedimento de Latarjet ao longo de 24 meses. Métodos: Série de casos retrospectiva que inclui pacientes adultos com luxação glenoumeral recidivante anterior traumática submetidos ao procedimento de Latarjet. Avaliamos clinicamente os pacientes pela escala de Rowe pré-operatória e aos 6, 12 e 24 meses após o procedimento. O posicionamento, a consolidação e a reabsorção do enxerto foram analisados por radiografia simples. Descrevemos ainda as taxas de recidiva e as demais complicações. Resultados: Analisamos 40 pacientes (41 ombros). A mediana da escala de Rowe evoluiu de 25,0 antes da cirurgia para 95,0 passados 24 meses desde a cirurgia (p < 0,001). Foi observada reabsorção do enxerto em três casos (7,3%), e consolidação em 39 (95,1%). A maioria dos enxertos apresentava posicionamento adequado. Ocorreram duas recidivas (4,8%), sendo um caso de luxação e outro de subluxação. Sete pacientes (17,1%) referiam sensação de apreensão. Não ocorreram casos de infecção, neuropraxia ou quebra do enxerto. Conclusão: A cirurgia de Latarjet é um procedimento seguro e eficaz no tratamento da luxação anterior recidivante do ombro, possibilitando melhora funcional significativa de acordo com a escala de Rowe, com baixo número de recidivas. Nível de Evidência IV, Série de Casos.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective The present study aims to evaluate the screw length and trajectory angles for posterior atlantoaxial fixation in a Portuguese population, through the study of cervical computed tomography (CT) scans. Methods Cervical CT scans of 50 adults were measured according to predefined screw trajectories of C1-C2 transarticular (C1C2TA), C1 lateral mass (C1LM), C2 pedicle (C2P), C2 pars and C2 laminar (C2L) screws. For each of these trajectories, screw length and angles were measured and compared between males and females. Results For the C1C2TA screw trajectory, the mean length, medial, and cranial angles were 34.12 ± 3.19 mm, 6.24° ± 3.06, and 59.25° ± 5.68, respectively, and for the C1LM screw trajectory, they were 27.12 ± 2.15 mm, 15.82° ± 5.07, and 13.53° ± 4.80, respectively. The mean length, medial, and cranial angles for the C2P screw trajectory were 23.44 ± 2.49 mm, 27.40° ± 4.88, and 30.41° ± 7.27, respectively; and for the C2 pars screw trajectory, they were 16.84 ± 2.08 mm, 20.09° ± 6.83, and 47.53° ± 6,97. The mean length, lateral, and cranial angles for the C2L screw trajectory were 29.10 ± 2.48 mm, 49.80° ± 4.71, and 21.56° ± 7.76, respectively. There were no gender differences except for the lengths of the C1C2TA (p= 0,020) and C2L (p= 0,001) screws, which were greater in males than in females. Conclusion The present study provides anatomical references for the posterior atlantoaxial fixation in a Portuguese population. These detailed data are essential to aid spine surgeons to achieve safe and effective screw placement.


Resumo Objetivo O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o comprimento e os ângulos de trajetória do parafuso para fixação atlantoaxial posterior em uma população portuguesa por meio do estudo de tomografia computadorizada (TC) cervical. Métodos Tomografias computadorizadas cervicais de 50 adultos foram analisadas quanto às trajetórias pré-definidas dos parafusos transarticulares C1-C2 (C1C2TA), na massa lateral de C1 (C1LM), no pedículo de C2 (C2P) e na pars de C2 e C2 laminar (C2L). O comprimento e os ângulos dos parafusos em cada uma destas trajetórias foram medidos e comparados entre homens e mulheres. Resultados O comprimento médio e ângulos medial e cranial da trajetória do parafuso C1C2TA foram de 34,12 ± 3,19 mm, 6,24° ± 3,06 e 59,25° ± 5,68, respectivamente; as medidas da trajetória do parafuso C1LM foram 27,12 ± 2,15 mm, 15,82° ± 5,07 e 13,53° ± 4,80. O comprimento médio e os ângulos medial e cranial da trajetória do parafuso C2P foram de 23,44 ± 2,49 mm, 27,40° ± 4,88 e 30,41° ± 7,27, respectivamente; as medidas da trajetória do parafuso da pars de C2 foram 16,84 ± 2,08 mm, 20,09° ± 6,83 e 47,53° ± 6,97. O comprimento médio e ângulos lateral e cranial da trajetória do parafuso C2L foram de 29,10 ± 2,48 mm, 49,80° ± 4,71 e 21,56° ± 7,76, respectivamente. Não houve diferenças entre os gêneros, à exceção do comprimento dos parafusos C1C2TA (p= 0,020) e C2L (p= 0,001), que foi maior no sexo masculino do que no feminino. Conclusão O presente estudo fornece referências anatômicas para a fixação atlantoaxial posterior em uma população portuguesa. Estes dados detalhados são essenciais para ajudar os cirurgiões de coluna a colocar os parafusos de maneira segura e eficaz.
