- 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.
- EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SPORTS INJURIES ON COLLEGIATE ATHLETES AT A SINGLE CENTER(2014) ROSA, Bruno Berbert; ASPERTI, Andre Marangoni; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; FERNANDES, Tiago Lazzaretti; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo JoseObjective: To evaluate the incidence of sports injuries in college athletes from the same institution from 1993 to 2013. Methods: Athletes from 13 modalities were interviewed about the presence and type of injury, type of treatment and time of withdrawal, based on the questionnaire ""Injury Surveillance System"" (ISS). Data were analyzed with graphs and tables of injury prevalence by gender, age, site of injury and modality. We also analyzed the average time of withdrawal of athletes, returning to sports practice and new lesions. Results: It was observed that 49.91% of the athletes showed some type of injury, with similar incidence between genders; the most frequent injuries were the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the ankle sprain; the average withdrawal time was 11 weeks. ACL was the injury with greater impact on college sports career, especially given the time of withdrawal. Conclusion: The most frequent injury, ACL, occurred most frequently in indoor sports such as handball and volleyball and had the highest number of cases treated with surgery and a longer average withdrawal time. More studies are needed to create a larger database in order to schedule preventive measures for amateur athletes.
- The Lowest Prevalence of Cholelithiasis in the Americas - An Autopsy-based Study(2016) ASPERTI, Andre Marangoni; REIS, Paulo; DINIZ, Marcio Augusto; PINTO, Mariana Dourado; SILVA JUNIOR, Edinesio Carlos da; SILVA, Danilo Felipe Dias da; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; ANDRAUS, WellingtonOBJECTIVES: This study used autopsy to evaluate the prevalence of cholelithiasis and its associated risk factors in a population of healthy, young subjects who suffered a violent or natural death. METHODS: This study is a prospective evaluation of autopsies of 446 individuals from 2011 to 2013 in Brazil. Of that sample, 330 (74%) subjects died from violent deaths and 116 (26%) died naturally. The presence of biliary calculi, previous cholecystectomy, gender, age, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI) and alcohol use were evaluated. RESULTS: In the natural death group, 6.9% (95% CI 3.39 to 13.28) (3.08% of the male subjects and 11.76% of the female subjects) exhibited evidence of gallbladder disease. In the violent death group, only 2.12% (95% CI 0.96 to 4.43) (2.17% of the male subjects and 1.85% of the female subjects) of the subjects exhibited evidence of gallbladder disease. Age was correlated with the prevalence of gallbladder disease, but BMI was correlated with only gallbladder disease in the natural death group. CONCLUSIONS: This population has the lowest prevalence of cholelithiasis in the Americas. Dietary habits, physical activity, ethnicity, alcohol consumption and genetic factors may be responsible for this low prevalence.
- SPORTS INJURIES AMONG AMATEUR ATHLETES AT A BRAZILIAN UNIVERSITY(2017) ASPERTI, Andre Marangoni; FERNANDES, Tiago Lazzaretti; MARINHO, Igor Maia; PEDRINELLI, Andre; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo JoseObjective: To obtain information on the incidence and nature of sports injuries at a Brazilian university. Method: Data from 396 student amateur athletes (61% male) playing 15 different sports during the 2013 season were retrospectively evaluated. Subjects completed the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance System questionnaire at the conclusion of the 2013 sports season. Injuries that resulted in at least one day of time lost were included. Exposure was defined as one student amateur athlete participating in one practice or game and is expressed as an athlete-exposure (A-E). Results: Injury rates were significantly greater in games (13.13 injuries per 1000 A-Es, 95% CI = 10.3-15) than in practices (4.47 injuries per 1000 A-Es, 95% CI = 3.9-5.1). The mechanisms that accounted for the most injuries in games and practices were player contact (52.9%) and non-contact (54.5%), respectively. Ankle ligament sprains were the most common injury (18.2% of all reported injuries). A relatively high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury was also observed (0.16 injuries per 1000 A-Es). Conclusion: Brazilian student amateur athletes are at great risk of sustaining non-contact injuries such as ankle sprains and anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
