- Comparative analysis of scaphoid nonunion treatment with screw fixation and angular stable plate(2023) NAKAMOTO, Joao Carlos; XAVIER, Renato Martins; BURGOS, Felipe Hellmeister; WATAYA, Erick Yoshio; IWASE, Fernanda do Carmo; NAKAMOTO, Hugo Alberto; MATTAR JUNIOR, RamesIntroduction Scaphoid fractures represent 5-10% of nonunion rate and the treatment options consist of an open reduction with correction of deformity, restoration of the scaphoid length with autologous wedge grafting and fixation. However, there is still no consensus in the literature on the best fixation method. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to compare plate fixation and screw fixation in treating scaphoid nonunion with humpback deformity and carpal instability. Methods Prospective, non-randomised study comparing the treatment of two groups of patients with scaphoid nonunion. A total of 19 patients were included in the study, the first ten patients were included in group 1 (plate fixation), subsequently nine patients were included in group 2 (screw fixation). The nonunion duration was longer than 6 months and patients did not present type III Scaphoid Nonunion Advanced Collapse (SNAC). Clinical evaluations included pain intensity, range of motion, grip strength, pinch test and functional scales Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Mayo Wrist Score. Radiographic evaluations consisted of radiographs of both wrists in AP, AP with ulnar deviation, lateral and oblique views. Patients further underwent a tomography of the affected wrist for bone deformity, carpal collapse and later consolidation evaluation. Results According to post-operative measurements, group 1 showed a significant improvement in the scapholunate angle (p = 0.011) and in the intrascaphoid angle (p = 0.002). Group 2 only showed an improvement in the scapholunate angle (p = 0.011). All patients in group 1 achieved consolidation in 8 weeks, while group 2 patients had a slower consolidation, with a mean of 14 weeks and standard deviation (SD) of 4.2, with statistical significance (p = 0.006). Conclusion Our prospective study, despite the limitations, contributes to the literature for demonstrating a better fixation using plate, with a better correction of humpback deformity and Dorsal Intercalated Segment Instability (DISI) and a faster consolidation.
- Wrist Arthroscopy in Athletes(2020) FRANÇA BISNETO, Edgard Novaes; DE PAULA, Emygdio José Leomil; MATTAR JUNIOR, RamesAbstract Arthroscopy is a surgical technique whose indication for wrist injuries has grown in recent years. Athletes are subject to traumatic injury to the wrist due to training overload or the intensity of the activity during competition. The need of a quick return to sports practice makes arthroscopy a very useful minimally invasive technique in these situations. The authors present indications of sports-related injuries to the wrist that can be treated by arthroscopy. A literature review is also presented.
- Functional and morphological evaluation of the trapezius muscle after spinal accessory nerve transfer to brachial plexus nerves(2024) SIMAO, Danielle Tiemi; HEISE, Carlos O.; RODRIGUES, Joao C.; YAMAUTI, Lucas S.; VILLEGAS, Robin I.; CHO, Alvaro B.; MATTAR JUNIOR, RamesIntroductionThe main innervation of the trapezius muscle is provided by the spinal accessory nerve. Several studies describe the contributions of cervical plexus roots to the trapezius muscle innervation, either directly or through connections with the spinal accessory nerve. There is no adequate understanding of how the trapezius muscle is affected after using the spinal accessory nerve in nerve transfer procedures with the usual technique, preserving at least 1 branch for the upper trapezius.MethodsWe evaluated 20 patients with sequelae of traumatic brachial plexus injury who underwent surgical procedures for brachial plexus repair or free muscle transfer, which included the spinal accessory nerve transfer technique and were followed for a minimum of 1 year. The three portions trapezius muscle were evaluated by physical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (analysis of fatty degeneration) and electromyography.ResultsIn all evaluation methods, the middle and lower portions of the trapezius muscle showed more significant morphological and/or functional impairment than the upper portion, in most cases. There was a statistically significant difference in all the complementary exams results, between the affected side (with sacrifice of the nerve) versus the normal side, in the middle and lower portions of the trapezius muscle.ConclusionsPhysical examination alone is not sufficient to determine the residual functionality of the trapezius muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography are useful tools to assess both morphological involvement of the trapezius muscle and nerve conduction impairment of the trapezius muscle, respectively. The results suggest that the middle and lower portions of the trapezius muscle are affected by previous SAN transfer and should be considered with caution for further muscle transfer procedures.
- EXTENSOR DIGITORUM BREVIS FLAP ON THE TREATMENT OF LOWER LIMB INJURIES(2014) TORRES, Luciano Ruiz; PAGANELLI, Priscilla Messias; SANTOS, Renan Pires Negrao dos; TARGA, Walter Hamilton de Castro; FERNANDES, Tulio Diniz; MATTAR JUNIOR, RamesObjective: To describe our pioneer national experience with 11 patients with soft tissue defects in the distal 1/3 of the leg, ankle and forefoot treated with extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap (EDB). Methods: Between November 2009 and July 2012 11 patients were operated with the flap technique. We operated nine men and two women aged between 10 and 66 years. The surgical indications were acute trauma in four patients and post-traumatic osteomyelitis in seven patients. The small defects were covered ranging from 3x3 to 6x3 cm. The patch was applied with proximal stalk in most cases. Results: Complete healing and infectious cure were obtained in all cases, despite one loss. Conclusion: The EDB flap is a feasible and safe technique to repair foot, ankle and distal leg losses. Suffering, dehiscence and delayed healing of the EDB end flap donor area may, however, occur. L-shaped incisions should be avoided for muscle lifting.
- Atypical Cleft Hand: Surgical Technique for Grasping Improvement(2024) BISNETO, Edgard de Novaes Franca; FERNANDES, Laura Filippini Lorimier; PAULA, Emygdio Jose Leomil de; MATTAR JUNIOR, RamesIntroduction:We present 6 cases of children with atypical cleft hand and discuss a surgical technique. Clinically, participants presented with a lack of pulp-to-pulp pinch due to metacarpophalangeal ligament insufficiency and difficulty grasping large objects because of the narrowed first web.Materials and Methods:Second metacarpal resection and Z-plasty, creating a wide first web. The second extensor digitorum communis tendon was transferred to improve the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint stability.Conclusions:The surgical technique presented in this paper did improve function in oligodactyly or type-IIA atypical cleft hand.

- INTERCOSTAL NERVE TRANSFER TO THE BICEPS MOTOR BRANCH IN COMPLETE TRAUMATIC BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURIES(2015) BAIK, Alvaro; IAMAGUCHI, Raquel Bernardelli; SILVA, Gustavo Bersani; PAULOS, Renata Gregorio; KIYOHARA, Leandro Yoshinobu; SORRENTI, Luiz; MENEZES, Klicia de Oliveira Costa Riker Teles de; REZENDE, Marcelo Rosa de; WEI, Teng Hsiang; MATTAR JUNIOR, RamesThe purpose of this report is to critically evaluate our results of two intercostal nerve transfers directly to the biceps motor branch in complete traumatic brachial plexus injuries. From January 2007 to November 2012, 19 patients were submitted to this type of surgery, but only 15 of them had a follow-up for >= 2 years and were included in this report. The mean interval from trauma to surgery was 6.88 months (ranging from 3 to 9 months). Two intercostals nerves were dissected and transferred directly to the biceps motor branch. The mean follow-up was 38.06 months (ranging from 24 to 62 months). Ten patients (66.6%) recovered an elbow flexion strength >= M3. Four of them (26.66%) recovered a stronger elbow flexion >= M4. One patient (6.25%) recovered an M2 elbow flexion and four patients (26.66%) did not regain any movement. We concluded that two intercostal nerve transfers to the biceps motor branch is a procedure with moderate results regarding elbow flexion recovery, but it is still one of the few options available in complete brachial plexus injuries, especially in five roots avulsion scenario.

- A REINFORCEMENT OF THE SUTURED MICROVASCULAR ANASTOMOSIS WITH FIBRIN GLUE APPLICATION: A RETROSPECTIVE COMPARATIVE STUDY WITH THE STANDARD CONVENTIONAL TECHNIQUE(2017) CHO, Alvaro Baik; PAULOS, Renata Gregorio; BERSANI, Gustavo; IAMAGUCHI, Raquel Bernardelli; TORRES, Luciano Ruiz; WEI, Teng Hsiang; RESENDE, Marcelo Rosa De; MATTAR JUNIOR, RamesPurpose: Although a reasonable number of studies report satisfactory results with fibrin glue application in microvascular anastomosis since 1977, its utilization in the clinical setting has being scant in the literature. The aim of this study was to report the cumulated experience with the fibrin glue in free flaps over a period of 10 years, comparing the survival rate with the standard sutured anastomosis. Patients and methods: From August 2001 through November 2014, 83 consecutive free flaps were performed by a team of surgeons from two hospitals. About 56 flaps were performed in 56 patients using the fibrin glue augmented microvascular anastomosis and 27 flaps were performed in 27 patients using the conventional anastomosis technique. The decision on whether or not the fibrin glue should be used at the anastomoses was based on its availability and whose surgeon was performing the anastomoses. About approximately 60% of sutures stitches were used that would be used in a conventional anastomosis, when fibrin glue application was anticipated (ranging from 5 to 7 sutures in the arteries and 5 to 8 in the veins). Results: The overall survival rate of the flaps performed with fibrin glue application was 92.85%. In one case, a revision of the venous anastomosis was required due to early flap congestion. Four cases (7.14%) had failure of the first free flap and two of them were submitted to another free flap without fibrin glue application. In the flaps performed with the conventional anastomosis technique the survival rate was 92.59%. This difference was not statistically significant (P=0.97). Conclusion: The application of fibrin glue in microvascular anastomoses did not increase the rate of flap loss and had a potential to reduce the number of sutures required to complete an anastomosis by its sealing effect.
