- Combined Reconstruction of the Anterolateral Ligament in Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Ligamentous Hyperlaxity Leads to Better Clinical Stability and a Lower Failure Rate Than Isolated Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction(2019) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco KawamuraPurpose: To compare functional outcomes, residual instability, and rupture rates in patients with ligamentous hyperlaxity undergoing isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction or combined ACL and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction. Methods: Two groups of patients were evaluated and compared retrospectively. Both groups consisted of patients with ACL injuries and associated ligamentous hyperlaxity, defined based on the modified Beighton scale with a minimum score of 5. Group 1 patients underwent anatomical ACL reconstruction, and group 2 patients underwent anatomical ACL reconstruction combined with ALL reconstruction. Group 1 consisted of historical controls. The presence of associated meniscal injury, subjective International Knee Documentation Committee and Lysholm functional scores, KT-1000 measurements, the presence of a residual pivot-shift, and the graft rupture rate were evaluated. The study was performed at University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. Results: Ninety patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with ligamentous hyperlaxity were evaluated. The mean follow up was 29.6 +/- 6.2 months for group 1 and 28.1 +/- 4.2 months for group 2 (P = .51). No significant differences were found between the groups regarding Beighton scale, gender, the duration of injury before reconstruction, follow-up time, preoperative instability, or associated meniscal injuries. The mean age was 29.9 +/- 8.1 years in group 1 and 27.0 +/- 9.1 years in group 2 (P = .017). In the final evaluation, group 2 patients showed better anteroposterior clinical stability as evaluated by KT-1000 arthrometry (P = .02), better rotational stability as evaluated by the pivot-shift test (P = .03) and a lower reconstruction failure rate (21.7% [group 1] vs 3.3% [group 2]; P = .03). Clinical evaluations of postoperative functional scales showed no differences between the 2 groups (P = .27 for International Knee Documentation Committee; P = .41 for Lysholm). Conclusions: Combined ACL and ALL reconstruction in patients with ligamentous hyperlaxity resulted in a lower failure rate and improved knee stability parameters compared to isolated ACL reconstruction. No differences were found in the functional scales.
- Degenerative Medial Meniscus Tear With a Displaced Flap Into the Meniscotibial Recess and Tibial Peripheral Reactive Bone Edema Presents Good Results With Arthroscopic Surgical Treatment(2021) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; HELITO, Paulo Victor Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; RODRIGUES, Marcelo Bordalo; BERG, Bruno VandePurpose: To report the arthroscopic treatment results of a degenerative medial meniscus tear with a displaced flap into the meniscotibial recess, tibial peripheral reactive bone edema, and focal knee medial pain. As a secondary objective, we propose to identify possible factors associated with a good or poor prognosis of the surgical treatment of this lesion. Methods: From 2012 to 2018, patients who had this specific meniscus pathology and underwent arthroscopic surgical treatment were retrospectively evaluated. Patients with Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) classification greater than 2 were excluded. KL classification, the presence of an Outerbridge grade III/V chondral lesion of the medial compartment, limb alignment, body mass index, and smoking were evaluated. The subjective outcomes included the International Knee Documentation Committee score, improvement in the pain reported by patients, and the Global Perceived Effect (GPE) scale score. Results: A total of 69 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 58.6 +/- 7.1 years. The follow-up time was 48.7 +/- 20.8 months. Fifty-five (79.7%) patients reported pain improvement. The postoperative International Knee Documentation Committee was 62.6 +/- 15.4, and the mean GPE was 2.3 +/- 2.6. Fourteen patients (20.3%) showed no improvement in pain, and 7 patients (10.2%) presented complications. Groups that improved (GPE 0) and did not improve (GPE < 0) did not present differences regarding age, sex, follow-up time, chondral lesions, or body mass index. Patients without improvement had a greater incidence of smoking (P = .001), varus alignment (P = .008), and more advanced KL classification (P < .001). In the multivariate analysis based on the GPE score, KL classification (P = .038) and smoking (P = .003) were significant. Conclusions: Arthroscopic surgical treatment of degenerative medial meniscal tears with a meniscal flap displaced into the meniscotibial recess and adjacent focal bone edema in the tibia shows good results in approximately 80% of cases. Smoking and KL grade 2 were factors associated with poor prognosis of surgical treatment.
- AUTOLOGOUS CHONDROCYTE IMPLANTATION IN BRAZIL(2020) GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; LIZIER, Nelson Foresto; LEVY, Debora; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; BYDLOWSKI, Sergio Paulo; DEMANGE, Marco KawamuraObjective: To describe the first series of cases of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) in collagen membrane performed in Brazil. Methods: ACI was performed in 12 knees of 11 patients, aged 32.1 +/- 10.9 years, with 5.3 +/- 2.6 cm(2) full-thickness knee cartilage lesions, with a six-month minimum follow-up. Two surgical procedures were performed: arthroscopic cartilage biopsy for isolation and expansion of chondrocytes, which were seeded onto collagen membrane and implanted in the lesion site; the characterization of cultured cells and implant was performed using immunofluorescence for type II collagen (COL2) for cell viability and electron microscopy of the implant. Clinical safety, KOOS and IKDC scores and magnetic resonance imaging were evaluated. We used repeated-measures ANOVA and post-hoc comparisons at alpha = 5%. Results: COL2 was identified in the cellular cytoplasm, cell viability was higher than 95% and adequate distribution and cell adhesion were found in the membrane. The median follow-up was 10.9 months (7 to 19). We had two cases of arthrofibrosis, one of graft hypertrophy and one of superficial infection as complications, but none compromising clinical improvement. KOOS and IKDC ranged from 71.2 +/- 11.44 and 50.72 +/- 14.10, in preoperative period, to 85.0 +/- 4.4 and 70.5 +/- 8.0, at 6 months (p = 0.007 and 0.005). MRI showed regenerated tissue compatible with hyaline cartilage. Conclusion: ACI in collagen membrane was feasible and safe in a short-term follow- up, presenting regenerated formation visualized by magnetic resonance imaging and improved clinical function.
- 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.
- LEVER SIGN TEST FOR CHRONIC ACL INJURY: A COMPARISON WITH LACHMAN AND ANTERIOR DRAWER TESTS(2021) SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; RIBEIRO, Gabriel Fernandes; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; DEMANGE, Marco KawamuraObjective: This study aims to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the lever sign test in patients with and without chronic Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries in an outpatient setting and the inter-examiner agreement of surgeons with different levels of experience. Methods: 72 consecutive patients with a history of previous knee sprains were included. The Lachman, anterior drawer, and Lever Sign tests were performed for all subjects in a randomized order by three blinded raters with different levels of experience. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and inter-rater agreement were estimated for all tests. Results: Among the 72 patients, the prevalence of ACL injuries was 54%. The lever test showed sensitivity of 64.1% (95% CI 0.47-0.78) and specificity of 100% (95% CI 0.87-1.00) for the senior examiner. For the less experienced examiner the sensitivity was 51.8% and the specificity was 93.7%. Positive predictive values (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV) were 100% and 70.2%, respectively. Conclusion: Lever Sign test shows to be a maneuver of easy execution, with 100% specificity and 100% PPV. Moderate agreement between experienced examiners and low agreement among experienced and inexperienced examiners was found. This test may play a role as an auxiliary maneuver.
- Outcomes After Isolated Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Are Inferior in Patients With an Associated Anterolateral Ligament Injury(2020) SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; HELITO, Paulo Victor Partezani; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; HELITO, Camilo PartezaniBackground: Isolated reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) does not reestablish the normal knee biomechanics in cases of associated injuries to the anterolateral structures. Studies evaluating the potential clinical effect of anterolateral ligament (ALL) injury on the treatment of ACL injuries are necessary to validate the findings of biomechanical studies. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and failure rate of ACL reconstruction in patients with and without ALL injury diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A prospective cohort of patients with acute ACL injury was divided into 2 groups based on the presence (ALL group) or absence (no-ALL group) of ALL injury on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging scans. Both groups underwent anatomic reconstruction of the ACL with autologous hamstring tendon grafts. The Lysholm and subjective IKDC scores (International Knee Documentation Committee), KT-1000 arthrometer and pivot-shift test results, reconstruction failure rate, incidence of contralateral ACL injury, presence of associated meniscal injury, and presence of knee hyperextension were evaluated. Results: A total of 182 patients were evaluated. Postoperative mean +/- SD follow-up was 33.6 +/- 7.1 and 36.1 +/- 8.1 months for the ALL and no-ALL groups, respectively. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of age, sex, knee hyperextension, duration of injury before reconstruction, follow-up time, or associated meniscal injuries. In the preoperative evaluation, the pivot-shift grade was similar, and the ALL group had worse KT-1000 arthrometer values (7.9 +/- 1.2 mm vs 7.2 +/- 1.1 mm; P < .001). In the postoperative evaluation, patients in the no-ALL group had a lower reconstruction failure rate (10.2% vs 1.4%; P = .029) and better clinical outcomes according to the IKDC subjective (85.5 +/- 10.7 vs 89.1 +/- 6.6; P = .035) and Lysholm scores (85.9 +/- 10.1 vs 92.0 +/- 6.3; P < .001). There was no postoperative difference in the KT-1000 or pivot-shift results. Conclusion: Combined ACL and ALL injuries were associated with significantly less favorable outcomes than were isolated ACL injuries at a minimum follow-up of 2 years after ACL reconstruction. Patients with concomitant ALL injury showed a higher rerupture rate and worse functional scores.
- Combined reconstruction of the anterolateral ligament in chronic ACL injuries leads to better clinical outcomes than isolated ACL reconstruction(2018) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; CAMARGO, Danilo Bordini; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco KawamuraPurpose To evaluate the results of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction in patients with chronic ACL injury. It was hypothesized that patients who underwent combined ACL and ALL reconstruction would exhibit less residual laxity and better clinical outcomes. Methods Two groups of patients were evaluated and compared retrospectively. Both groups consisted only of patients with chronic (more than 12 months) ACL injuries. Patients in group 1 underwent anatomical intra-articular reconstruction of the ACL and patients in group 2 underwent anatomic intra-articular ACL reconstruction combined with ALL reconstruction. The presence of associated meniscal injury, the subjective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm functional outcome scores in the postoperative period, KT-1000 evaluation, the presence of residual pivot shift and graft rupture rate were evaluated. Results One hundred and one patients who underwent reconstruction of chronic ACL injuries were evaluated. The median follow-up was 26 (24-29) months for group 1 and 25 (24-28) months for group 2. There were no significant differences between groups regarding gender, age, duration of injury until reconstruction, follow-up time or presence of associated meniscal injuries in the preoperative period. Regarding functional outcome scores, patients in group 2 presented better results on both the IKDC (p = 0.0013) and the Lysholm (p < 0.0001) evaluations. In addition, patients in group 2 had better KT-1000 evaluation (p = 0.048) and a lower pivot shift rate at physical examination, presenting only 9.1% positivity versus 35.3% in the isolated ACL reconstruction (p = 0.011). Regarding re-ruptures, group 1 presented 5 (7.3%) cases, and group 2 presented no cases. Conclusion The combined ACL and ALL reconstruction in patients with chronic ACL injury is an effective and safety solution and leads to good functional outcomes with no increase in complication rate. The clinical relevance of this finding is the possibility to indicate this type of procedure when patients present with more than 12 months after injury for surgery.
- Treatment of subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee by subchondroplasty(2020) BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SILVA, Hugo Pereira da; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco KawamuraBackground: Subchondral insufficiency fracture greatly impacts the quality of life of patients, causes much pain, and has the potential to rapidly progress to degeneration of the knee. Application of a calcium phosphate bone graft to the subchondral insufficiency fracture area has emerged as a relevant therapeutic approach to improve symptoms and avoid the occurrence of bone collapse. The aim of the present study was to evaluate subchondroplasty of the knee regarding its applicability and results in terms of function improvement and prevention of evolution of joint degeneration. Methods: Eleven 40- to 75-year-old patients with pain of the knee for at least 6 months who were diagnosed with subchondral insufficiency fracture. The diagnosis was established based on clinical assessment and MRI. The typical abnormality observed on MRI was a high signal intensity bone marrow lesion adjacent to low signal intensity cortical thickening on T2-weighted. Patients with articular surface collapse or osteoarthrosis with a Kellgren-Lawrence grade higher than 3 were excluded. Patients were assessed based on a pain visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) score. Results: The KOOS score for function increased from 43.0 (35.1-48.2) before surgery to 89.9 (89.3-94.0) [median (interquartile range), P=0.0033] after surgery, and the VAS score decreased from 9 [7-10] to 1 [0-3] [median (interquartile range), P=0.0032]. Conclusions: Subchondroplasty was shown to be safe, applicable, and efficacious for improvement of pain and the KOOS score for subchondral insufficiency fractures of the knee.
