- Simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and computer-assisted open-wedge high tibial osteotomy: A report of eight cases(2011) DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passarelli; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota eEight patients, aged 37-50 years, with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency, medial compartment osteoarthritis and varus deformity underwent simultaneous arthroscopic ACL reconstruction and open-wedge high tibial osteotomy controlled by a computer navigation system. Despite preoperative planning, the surgeon may need to choose a different osteotomy site during the procedure, invalidating the previous plans. The intraoperative wire control for osteotomies is not precise. The navigation system can help obtain precise alignment during high tibial osteotomy. The average preoperative mechanical axis was 7.5 of varum (sd +/- 1.17 degrees), the average postoperative axis was 1.2 degrees of valgus (sd +/- 1.04 degrees) (p<0.01), and the average correction of the mechanical axis was 8.7 degrees (sd +/- 0.76 degrees). The site of the osteotomy was 3.9 cm (3.5-4.8 cm, sd +/- 0.35 mm) from the articular line, with an inclination of 27.9 degrees (24-35, sd +/- 4.8). The simultaneous use of these procedures allowed proper correction of the knee axis during the surgery. The surgery can be performed concomitantly with ACL reconstruction.
- Evaluation of the isometry of different points of the patella and femur for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction(2016) GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PEREIRA, Cesar Augusto Martins; SADIGURSKY, David; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passarelli; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisBackground: The location of patellar and femoral fixation of the graft in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstructions has been widely discussed. This study aimed to assess the distances between different patellar and femoral fixation points to identify the least anisometric pairs of points. Methods: Ten cadaver knees were attached to an apparatus that simulated an active range of motion of 120, with three metallic markers fixed onto the medial side of the patella, and seven markings onto the medial epicondyle. The examined points included the proximal patella pole (1), the patellar center (3), the midpoint between points 1 and 3 (2), a point directly on the epicondyle (6), points 5 mm anterior (5) and posterior (7) to the epicondyle, points 5 mm anterior to point 5 (4) and 5 mm posterior to point 7 (8), and points 5 mm proximal (9) and distal (10) to the epicondyle. The distances between patella and femur points were measured by a photogrammetry system at 15 degrees intervals. Findings: The pair of points that exhibited the lowest average variability in distance, and hence was the most isometric, was the patella center combined with the anterior to the medial femoral epicondyle. The pairs of points that exhibited the highest average variability in distance, and hence were the least isometric, were the ones located distal or posterior to the medial femoral epicondyle, with less influence by the patellar location. Interpretation: Surgeons should avoid positioning the graft distally or posterior to the epicondyle due to the increase in anisometry.
- Fatigue meniscal tears: a description of the lesion and the results of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy(2016) DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisPurpose The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes of partial meniscectomy in patients with ""fatigue meniscal tear"", which presents as a non-traumatic tear with abrupt onset of symptoms of a radial tear in the transition between the middle and posterior thirds of the meniscus. Methods We prospectively followed 71 patients with ""fatigue meniscal tear"" (41 women and 30 men, mean age of 63 years, SD 6.9 years) recruited among 497 patients with isolated medial meniscal lesions treated between January 2006 and June 2011. Inclusion criteria were spontaneous abrupt onset knee pain, minor or no trauma, no radiographic or MRI osteoarthritis, no bone oedema, pre-operative magnetic resonance image of medial meniscus tear, and arthroscopic evaluation demonstrating radial or vertical flap tear in the body to posterior horn junction of the medial meniscus. We followed all patients for a minimum of two years and reviewed their clinical symptoms, physical exam, functional outcome, and patient satisfaction at last follow-up. Results The average follow-up was 4.2 years, with a minimum follow-up of two years. Among the 71 patients, there were 59 (83.1 %) good or excellent results and 12 (16.9 %) poor results. These 12 patients demanded further treatment because of persistent pain, with three of the patients developing subchondral bone fracture. All patient complaints and poor outcomes could be identified in the initial six months after surgery. There was no gender difference in the subgroup analysis. Conclusion Our findings indicate that patients with ""fatigue meniscal tear"" benefit from arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, with only 16.9 % reporting unfavourable results.
- COMPARISON OF FLOSEAL (R) AND ELECTROCAUTERY IN HEMOSTASIS AFTER TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY(2013) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CASTRILLON, Lucas Machado; HINKEL, Betina Bremer; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisObjective: To evaluate whether hemostasis with eletrocauterization in comparison with Floseal (R) leads to different bleeding rates during total knee arthroplasty. Methods: A comparative study was performed between two groups: group with ten consecutive total knee arthroplasties with Floseal (R) used as hemostatic method and control group with ten consecutive total knee arthroplasties with eletrocauterization as hemostatic method. Bleeding parameters such as debit of the drain, liquid infusion and blood transfusion rate were recorded. Results: Floseal (R) group received less blood transfusion, less liquid infusion and lower drainage in absolute numbers compared to the control group. However, no parameter was statistically significant. Conclusion: Hemostasis with Floseal (R) is as effective as hemostasis with eletrocauterization, what makes it a viable alternative to patients with contraindication to electric scalpel use.
- Effect of muscle contractions on cartilage: morphological and functional magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of the knee after spinal cord injury(2016) DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; HELITO, Paulo Victor Partezani; SOUZA, Felipe Ferreira de; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CRISTANTE, Alexandre FogaçaABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of complete absence of muscle contractions on normal human cartilage in the presence of joint motion. METHODS: Patients with complete acute spinal cord injuries were enrolled. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on both knees as soon as their medical condition was stable and at six months after the primary lesion. All patients received rehabilitation treatment that included lower-limb passive motion exercises twice a day. The MRIs were analyzed by two radiologists with expertise in musculoskeletal disorders. A region of interest was established at the patellar facets and trochlea, and T2 relaxation times were calculated. The area under the cartilage T2 relaxation time curve was calculated and standardized. RESULTS: Fourteen patients with complete spinal cord injuries were enrolled, but only eight patients agreed to participate in the study and signed the informed consent statement. Two patients could not undergo knee MRI due to their clinical conditions. Initial knee MRIs were performed on six patients. After six months, only two patients underwent the second bilateral knee MRI. Both patients were neurologically classified as Frankel A. An increase in T2 values on the six-month MRI was observed for both knees, especially in the patellofemoral joint. CONCLUSION: The absence of muscle contractions seems to be deleterious to normal human knee cartilage even in the presence of a normal range of motion. Further studies with a larger number of patients, despite their high logistical complexity, must be performed to confirm this hypothesis.
- RESULTS OF TREATMENT OF PLICA SYNDROME OF THE KNEE(2021) CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; ANDRADE, Marta Halasz DeObjective: The synovial fold is an intra-articular structure found in more than 50% of the knees, which can cause symptoms similar to meniscal injuries. These symptoms are mostly related to hypertrophy of the synovial fold resulting from inadequate physical activity. Conservative treatment with readjustment of sports activity and muscle rebalancing solves most cases. Rare cases require surgical treatment, which is indicated due to the persistence of instability, blockage and pain. We present our experience in the treatment of this pathology. Methods: 58 patients (70 knees), with 62 knees treated conservatively and 8 treated surgically exclusively for the pathological synovial fold. Results: Description of the series and treatment results are reported. Conclusion: The non-surgical treatment of the pathological synovial fold of the knee provided good results within 60 days of rehabilitation program in almost 90% of the patients. Arthroscopic resection of the synovial fold is a surgery that has a longer and laborious rehabilitation period, despite good results in most cases.
- Trochlear dysplasia and patellar instability in patients with Down syndrome(2015) MOREIRA, Tiago Amaral Rebouças; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; MUSTACCHI, Zan; PÉCORA, José Ricardo; TÍRICO, Luis Eduardo Passarelli; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisOBJECTIVE: To analyze occurrences of trochlear dysplasia in patients with Down syndrome in the presence and absence of femoropatellar instability. METHODS: Eleven knees with stable patellae and thirteen with unstable patellae in patients with Down syndrome were compared. Radiographs were produced to evaluate patellar height, trochlear angle and femoropatellar congruence angle. RESULTS: The prevalence ratio for a high patella between the unstable and the stable patients was 1.01 using the Insall-Salvati index and 0.68 using the Caton-Deschamps index. For an abnormal congruence angle, the prevalence ratio was 2.04. An increased congruence angle was only found in four cases, all presenting instability. CONCLUSIONS: Trochlear dysplasia was only found in cases of instability. The trochlear groove angle and the femoropatellar congruence angle correlated with the presence of patellar instability.
- 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.
- Plateau-patella angle: An option for the evaluation of patellar height in patients with patellar instability(2017) BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; TORRES, Julio Augusto do Prado; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco KawamuraBackground: Patellar instability is a debilitating disease. An important factor related to recurrent dislocation is patellar height. A new method of patellar height measurement, the plateau-patella angle (PPA), was proposed in 2011. However, to date, there is no study evaluating the use of this method in patients with patellar instability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PPA in patients with recurrent patellar dislocation. Methods: This was a retrospective evaluation of the radiographs of 78 knees with patellar instability. Patellar height was measured using the Insall-Salvati (VS), Caton-Deschamps (C/D) and Blackburne-Peel (B/P) indices and the PPA. The qualitative and quantitative correlations between the various methods and between observers were calculated. Results: The PPA had a Pearson correlation of 0.76 (P <0.001) with the I/S index, 0.78 (P < 0.001) with the C/D index and 0.90 (P < 0.001) with the B/P index. In the qualitative correlation using the Spearman coefficient, the PPA had a correlation of 0.52 (P < 0.001) with the I/S index, 0.72 (P < 0.001) with the C/D index and 0.70 (P < 0.001) with the B/P index. The correlations between the conventional methods were as follows: 0.57 (P < 0.001) between the I/S and C/D indices; 0.61 (P < 0.001) between the I/S and B/P indices; and 0.73 (P < 0.001) between the C/D and B/P indices. Conclusion: The determination of the PPA is a reproducible method that is consistent with the methods currently used to measure patellar height in patients with recurrent patellar dislocation.
- 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.
