- 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.
- Do technical components of microanastomoses influence the functional outcome of free gracilis muscle transfer for elbow flexion in traumatic brachial plexus injury?(2021) MARTINS-FILHO, Francisco Vilmar Felix; IWASE, Fernanda do Carmo; SILVA, Gustavo Bersani; CHO, Alvaro Baik; WEI, Teng Hsiang; REZENDE, Marcelo Rosa de; JR, Rames Mattar; IAMAGUCHI, Raquel BernardelliIntroduction: The traumatic lesions of the brachial plexus in adults are devastating injuries causing continuous severe functional impairment for both work and daily living activities. The restoration of elbow flexion is one of the most important movements for patient recovery to previous activities. Free gracilis muscle transfer has good outcomes for cases with late presentation or as a rescue surgery to regain elbow flexion, however, bad results are present in all cohorts with insufficient recovery of muscle strength for elbow flexion. A number of hypotheses can be postulate to explain the fair results observed in some cases of free gracilis muscle transfer for elbow flexion. Most studies in the current literature compare the choice of the donor nerve used in neurotization and nerve grafts. The aim of this study is to evaluate if technical components of microvascular anastomosis could influence the functional outcome of free functional muscle transfer for elbow flexion in adult patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury. Material and methods: Included all adult patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury submitted to free functional gracilis muscle transfer for elbow flexion. The complications and functional results according to British Medical Research Council (BMRC) score were recorded. Results: We assessed 26 patients with mean age of 32.8 years. The most common donor nerve for gracilis muscle was the accessory nerve in 18 patients. Eighteen patients presented with good result (M3/M4). The mean ischemia time was higher for patients with bad results (132 minutes) comparing with patients with good results (122 minutes). Patients with only one venous anastomosis had 41% of poor functional outcome compared with 22% of cases with two venous anastomoses. No statistically significant difference in the ischemia time of the cases with good or poor functional outcome was observed (p = 0.657), as for the number of venous anastomoses (p = 0.418). Conclusion: Our study observes that patients with only one venous anastomoses for drainage of free gracilis and those with longer intraoperative ischemia time had higher incidence of poor functional outcome of free gracilis muscle transfer for elbow flexion, but not statistically significant. Level of proof: II; prospective cross-sectional study.
- MMP-1 promoter polymorphism is associated with primary tendinopathy of the posterior tibial tendon(2013) GODOY-SANTOS, Alexandre; CUNHA, Mirella V.; ORTIZ, Rafael Trevisan; FERNANDES, Tulio Diniz; MATTAR JR., Rames; SANTOS, Maria Cristina L. G. dosPosterior tibial tendon (PTT) dysfunction is recognized as an etiology leading to acquired flatfoot in adults, causing significant functional loss. Many risk factors and systemic conditions have been proposed in literature. However, many patients present PTT dysfunction without any of these characteristics. This suggests that there could be a genetic influence associated with posterior tibial tendinopathy. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the association of the 1607 polymorphism in the promoter gene of MMP-1 and posterior tibial tendinopathy. The test group included 50 women, who presented PTT dysfunction grade 2 or 3, and who were submitted to surgical treatment, with histopathological examination of the tendon and magnetic resonance image (MRI) confirming tendinopathy, while the control group was 100 asymptomatic women who presented intact PTT at MRI. The results were analyzed using the chi-square test. The data showed a 75% incidence of the allele 1G and 62% of the genotype 1G/1G at the control group while, at the test group, they showed a 78% incidence of the allele 2G and 72% of the genotype 2G/2G (p<0.001). The 1607 polymorphism of promoter gene of MMP-1 is associated with the posterior tibial tendinopathy in the studied population.

- Single, Superiorly Placed Reconstruction Plate Compared with Flexible Intramedullary Nailing for Midshaft Clavicular Fractures A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial(2015) ANDRADE-SILVA, Fernando Brandao; KOJIMA, Kodi Edson; JOERIS, Alexander; SILVA, Jorge Santos; MATTAR, RamesBackground: Previous studies have shown good clinical results in patients with midshaft clavicular fractures treated with reconstruction plate fixation or elastic stable intramedullary nailing. The objective of this study was to compare these methods in terms of clinical and radiographic results. Methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, fifty-nine patients with displaced midshaft clavicular fractures were randomly assigned to receive fixation with either a reconstruction plate (thirty-three patients), known as the plate group, or elastic stable intramedullary nailing (twenty-six patients), known as the nail group. The primary outcome was the six-month Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score. The secondary outcomes included the Constant-Murley score, time to fracture union, residual shortening, level of postoperative pain, percentage of satisfied patients, and complication rates. Results: The mean six-month DASH score was 9.9 points in the plate group and 8.5 points in the nail group (p = 0.329). Similarly, there were no differences in the twelve-month DASH and Constant-Murley scores. Time to union was equivalent (p = 0.352) between the groups at 16.8 weeks for the plate group and 15.9 weeks for the nail group, whereas the residual shortening was 0.4 cm greater in the plate group (p = 0.032). The visual analog scale pain score and the satisfaction rate were similar between the groups. Implant-related pain was more frequent in the nail group (p = 0.035). There were no differences in terms of major complications. Conclusions: Reconstruction plates and elastic stable intramedullary nailing yielded similar functional results, time to union, level of postoperative pain, and patient satisfaction rates. Both methods were safe in terms of major complications.
- Microsurgical Reconstruction in an Orthopedic Hospital: Indications and Outcomes in Adults(2022) IAMAGUCHI, Raquel Bernardelli; MACEDO, Lucas Sousa; CHO, Alvaro Baik; REZENDE, Marcelo Rosa de; MATTAR JÚNIOR, Rames; WEI, Teng HsiangAbstract Objective Advances in reconstructive microsurgery in orthopedic surgery provided better functional and aesthetic results and avoided many indications for amputation. In high-volume trauma and orthopedic hospitals, microsurgical reconstruction is essential to reduce costs and complications for these complex orthopedic defects. We describe a microsurgical approach to traumatic wounds, tumor resection, bone defects, and free muscle transfer, performed by an orthopedic microsurgery unit. The objective of the present study was to evaluate predictor factors for outcomes of microsurgical flaps for limb reconstruction, and to provide a descriptive analysis of microsurgical flaps for orthopedic indications. Methods Cross-sectional prospective study that included all consecutive cases of microsurgical flaps for orthopedic indications from 2014 to 2020. Data were collected from personal medical history, intraoperative microsurgical procedure, and laboratory blood tests. Complications and free-flap outcomes were studied in a descriptive and statistical analysis. Results We evaluated 171 flaps in 168 patients; the indications were traumatic in 66% of the patients. Type III complications of the Clavien-Dindo Classification were observed in 51 flaps. The overall success rate of the microsurgical flaps was 88.3%. In the multivariate analysis, the risk factors for complications were ischemia time ≥ 2 hours (p= 0.032) and obesity (p= 0.007). Partial flap loss was more common in patients with thrombocytosis in the preoperative platelet count (p= 0.001). Conclusion The independent risk factors for complications of microsurgical flaps for limb reconstruction are obesity and flap ischemia time ≥ 2 hours, and presence of thrombocytosis is a risk factor for partial flap loss.
- 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.

This study was carried out on cadavers. Methods: Arthroscopic evaluation and dissection were performed on cadaver wrists. Results: There was a clear, statistically significant correlation between arthrosis of the proximal pole of the hamate and the presence of a medial facet on the lunate. Conclusion: Arthrosis of the proximal pole of the hamate is correlated with the presence of a type II lunate. Level of Evidence III, Study of nonconsecutive patients; without consistently applied reference ""gold"" standard.- COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN OSTEOSYNTHESIS IN CONVENTIONAL AND BIOABSORBABLE IMPLANTS IN ANKLE FRACTURES(2015) GAIARSA, Guilherme Pelosini; REIS, Paulo Roberto dos; MATTAR JUNIOR, Rames; SILVA, Jorge dos Santos; FERNANDEZ, Tlio DinizObjective: To compare the functional results of ankle fractures treated with metallic and absorbable plates. Twenty patients were randomized into two groups (metallic and absorbable implant groups) and followed prospectively. In the immediate postoperative period, patients were immobilized with plaster casts for one week, which was replaced by a removable cast for another four weeks. Partial weight-bearing was allowed after three weeks, and full weight-bearing after six weeks. Functional recovery was similar in both groups. At six months, three patients in the metallic group complained of local pain, and had their implants removed. One patient in the absorbable group exhibited early dehiscence of the suture and underwent debridement and suturing with good evolution. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was similar between the two groups after six and nine months of follow-up. The absorbable implants showed clinical and functional results that were similar to those of metallic implants.
