- Effect of postoperative use of nasal oxygen catheter supplementation in wound healing following total knee arthroplasty(2014) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; JUNQUEIRA, Jader Joel Machado; GOBBI, Ricardo Gomes; ANGELINI, Fabio Janson; REZENDE, Marcia Uchoa; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passarelli; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota e; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisOBJECTIVES: Healing is an event that is fundamental to the success of total knee arthroplasty. The aims of the present study were to compare the rates of complications related to wound healing between two groups of volunteers submitted to total knee arthroplasty and to evaluate the effects of postoperative oxygen supplementation by means of a nasal catheter. METHOD: A total of 109 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty were randomized into two groups, namely, groups that did and did not receive postoperative oxygen supplementation via a nasal catheter. The surgical wound was monitored every day during the hospital stay and on the 7th, 14th, 21st, 30th and 42nd postoperative days. Characteristics related to healing were observed, including hyperemia, dehiscence, necrosis, phlyctenules and deep and superficial infection. RESULTS: There were no cases of deep infection. Hyperemia was statistically correlated with the total number of complications in the groups, with oxygen demonstrated to be a protective factor against hyperemia. Approximately 30% of the patients who exhibited hyperemia had other complications, independent of oxygen supplementation. CONCLUSION: Oxygen supplementation following total knee arthroplasty was shown to be effective in diminishing hyperemia around the operative wound. The development of hyperemia was a precursor to other complications, irrespective of whether oxygen supplementation was used.
- Clinical Outcomes of Posterolateral Complex Reconstruction Performed with a Single Femoral Tunnel(2021) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonThe objective of this study is to report the functional outcomes, complications, and reconstruction failure rate of patients undergoing posterolateral complex reconstruction with a single femoral tunnel technique. Patients with posterolateral complex injuries associated with injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), or both undergoing surgical treatment with the single femoral tunnel technique were included in the study. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm's scales were evaluated, in addition to age, gender, time between trauma and surgery, trauma type, range of motion (ROM) restrictions, peroneal nerve injury, and reconstruction failure. Sixty-six patients were included. Eighteen underwent ACL and posterolateral complex (PLC) reconstruction (group 1), 24 underwent ACL, PCL, and PLC reconstruction (group 2), and 24 underwent PCL and PLC reconstruction (group 3). The mean follow-up was 63 months. The subjective IKDC was 83.7 +/- 14.6 for group 1, 74.3 +/- 12.6 for group 2, and 66.3 +/- 16.0 for group 3 ( p <0.001). The Lysholm's score was 87.112.8 for group 1, 79.5 +/- 15.0 for group 2, and 77.7 +/- 15.2 for group 3 ( p =0.042). There were six reconstruction failures among the patients (9.1%) with no differences among the groups ( p =0.368). Female gender and reconstruction failure were associated with worse outcomes. Patients undergoing reconstruction of PLC structures with the single femoral tunnel technique achieved good functional outcomes and a failure rate similar to literature. Patients undergoing only combined ACL reconstruction showed better outcomes than patients undergoing combined PCL reconstruction. Female gender was associated with a worse functional outcome irrespective of the injury type.
- Surgical management of knee dislocations with ligament reconstruction associated with a hinged external fixator(2015) ANGELINI, F. J.; HELITO, C. P.; BONADIO, M. B.; ALBUQUERQUE, R. F. da Mota e; PECORA, J. R.; CAMANHO, G. L.Introduction: Knee dislocations are defined as ligament injuries involving at least two of the four most important knee ligaments. Results from recent studies have shown a tendency towards improvement of the functional outcomes with use of an articulated external fixator during the postoperative period following multiligament reconstruction. Our hypothesis was that good knee stability and early gain of range of motion could be achieved with the use of the external fixator after ligament reconstructions. Methods: Fourteen patients with knee dislocations were evaluated after multiligament reconstruction in association with use of a lateral monoplanar external fixator for six weeks. Reconstructions were performed using grafts from a tissue bank. Range of motion was measured after one, two, three, six, twelve months and at the final evaluation at a mean time of 49 months. The assessments were made using objective and subjective IKDC, Lysholm and Tegner scales. Results: The mean scores were 71.7 for the subjective IKDC score, 81.5 for the Lysholm score. No patient was able to return to previous Tegner score. Out of the 45 ligament reconstructions performed, only four failed during the follow-up time. The mean range of motion of the knee presented a progressive increase from the first to the twelfth month, from 67.8 degrees. to 115.7 degrees. Two cases of superficial infection on the site of the external fixator pins were observed. Conclusion: The use of an external fixator enabled early rehabilitation with range of motion gains starting from the first postoperative month, a low rate of reconstruction failure and minimal complications. Nevertheless, none of the patients returned to the level of activity prevailing prior to the injury.
- Combined reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament using a single femoral tunnel(2017) BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; FONI, Noel Oizerovici; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota e; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonLesions of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) are the most common knee ligament injuries, and lesions associated with the anterior cruciate ligament or the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in knee dislocations should be reconstructed to prevent failure of the central pivot reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of combined PCL/MCL reconstruction using a single femoral tunnel with a minimum 2-year follow-up. A retrospective study of thirteen patients with combined PCL/MCL injuries was conducted. The patients underwent PCL and MCL reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft with a single tunnel in the medial femoral condyle, thereby avoiding tunnel conversion. All patients achieved a range of motion of at least 100A degrees. The mean loss of extension and flexion values compared to the contralateral side was 1A degrees A +/- 2A degrees and 9A degrees A +/- 10A degrees, respectively. Our results included 26 reconstructions with three (11.5 %) failures, two in the PCL (15.3 %) and one in the MCL (7.6 %), in three different patients. In the final evaluation, the mean IKDC subjective score was 71.63 +/- 16.23, the mean Lysholm score was 80.08 +/- 13.87, and the median Tegner score was 6 (range = 2-7). The PCL/MCL reconstruction technique using a single femoral tunnel and an Achilles tendon allograft is safe, avoids the convergence of tunnels in the medial femoral condyle, has excellent results, and is reproducible.

- ANATOMICAL STUDY OF THE POSTEROLATERAL LIGAMENT COMPLEX OF THE KNEE: LCL AND POPLITEUS TENDON(2021) SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; MELO, Lucas da Ponte; ASPERTI, Andre Marangoni; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonObjective: To analyse the distances between the femoral insertions of the popliteus tendon (PT) and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) through dissections of cadaveric specimens in a mixed population. Methods: Fresh cadavers were dissected, and the anthropometric data of all specimens were recorded. The distances from the origin of the PT to the LCL in the femoral region and the diameter of each structure were measured using a digital calliper. Results: In total, 11 unpaired knees were dissected, eight men and three women, with an average age of 71.5 +/- 15.2 years, weight of 57.2 +/- 15.6 kg, and a mean height of 170.5 +/- 8.2 cm. The distance from the center of the femoral footprint of the LCL to the PT was 10.0 +/- 2.4 mm. The distances between the edges closest to each other and those more distant from each other were 3.1 +/- 1.1 mm and 16.3 +/- 2.4 mm, respectively. Conclusion: The distance between the midpoints of the PT and the LCL in our mixed population is smaller than the distances often reported in the literature. PLC reconstruction with separate tunnels for the LCL and PT may not be technically possible for individuals of any population. Level of Evidence III, Diagnostic studies.
- Tricks and tips for physical examination of the multiligament injured knee: what we can not forget(2018) BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonThe multiligament knee injury may present some challenges in its evaluation during the physical examination. Due to the wide range of lesion patterns and instabilities, a systematic approach to physical examination is essential in such cases. The initial evaluation by inspection and palpation, followed by with the specific tests for each structure, with the evaluation of the cruciate ligaments, then the lateral and medial ligaments in an organized way allows a more accurate diagnosis. It is very important the ability to recognize the meaning of the result of each physical examination test and its variations, to avoid common misinterpretation. This article aims to present the physical examination of the multiligament injured knee in an organized way, pointing out the tips and tricks for the best diagnosis and correct treatment.
- Posterolateral reconstruction combined with one-stage tibial valgus osteotomy: Technical considerations and functional results(2019) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonBackground: To report the functional outcomes and complications from reconstructing the knee posterolateral complex (PLC), associated with one-stage opening-wedge tibial valgus osteotomy, and discuss the technical feasibility of this procedure. Methods: Five patients with chronic PLC injuries and varus deviation of the mechanical axis, associated with central pivot injuries or not, underwent medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy combined with PLC reconstruction. The lateral collateral ligament, popliteal tendon, and popliteofibular ligament were reconstructed using a single femoral tunnel. Patients were assessed on physical examination, range-of-motion and functional scales, and radiographs. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome score (KOOS) were determined. Results: Five patients were evaluated: four presented with central pivot injury, and one had an isolated PLC injury. The mean time between injury and surgery was 40 +/- 6.5 months (+/- is indicating standard deviation value). Four patients had minimal residual instability on physical examination, with a lateral opening at varus stress of +/- 3 + at 30 degrees flexion. The means of the IKDC score, Lysholm score, and KOOS were 67.8 +/- 9.2, 83.0 +/- 9.3, and 79.2 +/- 5.9, respectively. All patients showed satisfactory consolidation of osteotomy in 2.6 +/- 0.9 months. Conclusions: The results of this series indicate that one-stage PLC ligament reconstruction associated with medial opening-wedge valgus osteotomy is feasible and shows satisfactory functional results with a low rate of complications. A one-stage procedure might be indicated for young patients with high functionality and more pronounced posterolateral instabilities.
- Screw loosening and iliotibial band friction after posterolateral corner reconstruction(2014) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota e; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonBackground: Many reconstruction techniques have already been developed for treating posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries, with still no consensus regarding what would be the best option. Some techniques use non-bone tunnel fixation, attaching the graft to the femur using a cortical screw with toothed washer. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate complications related to fixation performed by a screw and toothed washer technique. Methods: A prospective study with surgical reconstruction of the PLC structures of the knee between January 2008 and December 2009 was performed. PLC reconstruction included reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligament, popliteofibular ligament and popliteal muscle tendon. Fixation of the grafts in the femur was achieved by means of a 4.5 mm screw with a toothed washer. The assessments were done using the following methods: objective IKDC, subjective IKDC, Lysholm and Tegner. Radiographic evaluations were performed immediately after the operation, at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, and yearly thereafter. Complications were documented. Results: The mean subjective IKDC score after the operation was 69.2; Lysholm scale was 80.7. Two patients presented failure of reconstructions of the PLC. In the radiographic evaluations, signs of loosening of the screw with toothed washer in the femur were observed in eight cases (66.6%). Six patients (50%) complained of lateral pain after the operation. Conclusion: The technique of femoral fixation was shown to be efficient in restoration of stability. However there was a high rate of complications secondary to implant, such as loosening of the screws and iliotibial tract friction.
- Anatomical study on the anterolateral ligament of the knee(2013) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; MIYAHARA, Helder de Souza; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passareli; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ANGELINI, Fabio Janson; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisOBJECTIVE: Describe the knee anterolateral ligament (ALL) and establish its anatomical marks of origin and insertion. METHODS: Dissection of the anterolateral aspect of the knee was performed in six cadavers. After isolation of the ALL, its lenght, width and thickness were measured as its places of origin and insertion. The ALL origin was documented in relation to the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) origin and the insertion was documented in relation to the Gerdy tubercle, fibullar head and lateral meniscus. After the first two dissections, the ligament was removed and sent to histologycal analysis. RESULTS: The ALL was clearly identified in all knees. Its origin in the lateral epycondile was on average 0.5 mm distal and 2.5 mm anterior to the LCL. In the tibia, two insertions were observed, one in the lateral meniscus and another in the proximal tibia, about 4.5 mm distal to the articular cartilage, between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibullar head. The average measures obtained were: 35.1 mm lenght, 6.8 mm width and 2.6 mm thickness. In the ligament histological analysis, dense connective tissue was observed. CONCLUSION: The ALL is a constant structure in the knee anterolateral region. Its origin is anterior and distal to the LCL origin. In the tibia, it has two insertions, one in the lateral meniscus and another in the proximal tibia between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibullar head.
article 2 Citação(ões) na Scopus High Potential for Complications After Traumatic Exposure in Patients With a Total Knee Replacement(2020) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; NEGRELLI, Marco Aurelio Cotegipe; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonObjective. The purpose of this study is to describe cases of traumatic exposure during the early postoperative period in patients with a total knee replacement (TKR) and to report the treatments instituted and complications of this adverse event. Methods. A retrospective review of postoperative patients with TKR performed at the Universidade de Sao Paulo from 2001 to 2017 who subsequently were treated at the emergency room due to trauma to the TKR region accompanied by surgical wound dehiscence in deep planes and implant exposure was conducted. The initial treatment, evolution, and complications of each patient were reported. Results. In 16 years, there were 3224 TKRs performed at the study institution. Among this population, 4 (0.1%) patients had trauma dehiscence of the surgical wound during the immediate postoperative period. All patients were women between the ages of 64 and 88 years with comorbidities (eg, diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension). The mean time between the surgery and trauma was 6.7 +/- 6.2 days. All patients underwent surgical cleaning, debridement with polyethylene exchange, and primary closure of the surgical wound and received adjuvant treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Of the 4 patients affected, 3 developed an infection, 3 required new surgery after initial cleaning, 2 lost their prostheses, and 1 lost a limb, requiring a transfemoral amputation. Conclusions. Traumatic dehiscence with implant exposure during the initial postoperative period of TKR is an infrequent event (0.1%) with a high potential for complications (75%), which may lead to loss of the prosthesis and even the limb. Measures should be taken to prevent falls and gather reports from several centers to broaden the knowledge of this rare event, identify prognostic factors, and define the best treatment algorithm.
