    Isokinetic muscle strength and knee function associated with double femoral pin fixation and fixation with interference screw in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
    (2012) FERNANDES, Tiago Lazzaretti; PROTTA, Thiago Rocha; FREGNI, Felipe; BOLLIGER NETO, Raul; PEDRINELLI, Andre; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo Jose
    Intensive scheduling in sports requires athletes to resume physical activity shortly after injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate early isokinetic muscle strength and knee function on bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) ACL reconstruction with double femoral pin fixation or interference screw technique. A prospective study was conducted from 2008 to 2009, with 48 athletes who received femoral BPTB fixation with interference screw (n = 26) or double pin (n = 22). Clinical (IKDC objective score and hop test) and isokinetic muscle strength (peak torque (PT), PT/body weight and flexion/extension rate (F/E) in 60 and 240A degrees/s) were analyzed at 6 months of follow-up. Analysis at baseline showed no differences between groups before surgery related to age, gender, associated injury, Tegner or Lysholm score; thus showing that groups were similar. During follow-up, however, there were significant differences between the two groups in some of the isokinetic muscle strength: PT/BW 60A degrees/s (Double Pin = 200% +/- A 13% vs. Interference Screw = 253% +/- A 16%*, *P = 0.01); F/E 60A degrees/s (Double Pin = 89% +/- A 29%* vs. Interference Screw = 74% +/- A 12%, *P = 0.04). No statistical differences between groups were observed on IKDC objective score, hop test and complications. The significant muscle strength outcome of the interference screw group found in this study gives initial evidence that this fixation technique is useful for athletes that may need accelerated rehabilitation. Early return to sports ability signaled by isokinetic muscle strength is of clinical relevance as it is one of the main goals for athletes' rehabilitation. III.

    Locking intramedullary nails compared with locking plates for two- and three-part proximal humeral surgical neck fractures: a randomized controlled trial
    (2016) GRACITELLI, Mauro E. C.; MALAVOLTA, Eduardo A.; ASSUNCAO, Jorge H.; KOJIMA, Kodi E.; REIS, Paulo R. dos; SILVA, Jorge S.; FERREIRA NETO, Arnaldo A.; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo J.
    Background: Previous studies have shown good clinical results in patients with proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) treated with locking intramedullary nails or locking plates. Our study compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients with 2- and 3-part surgical neck fractures. Methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, 72 patients with 2- or 3-part surgical neck PHFs were randomly assigned to receive fixation with locking intramedullary nails (nail group) or locking plates (plate group). The primary outcome was the 12-month Constant-Murley score. The secondary outcomes included the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score, the visual analog scale pain score, the shoulder passive range of motion, the neck-shaft angle, and complication rates. Results: There was no significant mean treatment group difference in the Constant-Murley score at 12 months (70.3 points for the nail group vs. 71.5 points for the plate group; P=.750) or at individual follow-up assessments. There were no differences in the 3-, 6- and 12-month Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores, visual analog scale scores, and range of motion, except for the medial rotation at 6 months. The neck-shaft angle was equivalent between the groups at 12 months. There were significant differences over 12 months in total complication rates (P=.002) and reoperation rates (P=.041). There were no significant differences for the rotator cuff tear rate (P=.672). Conclusion: Fixation of PHFs with locking plates or locking intramedullary nails produces similar clinical and radiologic results. Nevertheless, the complication and reoperation rates were higher in the nail group.

    Positive effects of football on fitness, lipid profile, and insulin resistance in Brazilian patients with type 2 diabetes
    (2014) SOUSA, M. V. de; FUKUI, R.; KRUSTRUP, P.; PEREIRA, R. M. R.; SILVA, P. R. S.; RODRIGUES, A. C.; ANDRADE, J. L. de; HERNANDEZ, A. J.; SILVA, M. E. R. da
    We evaluated the effects of recreational football training combined with calorie-restricted diet (football+diet) vs calorie-restricted diet alone (diet) on aerobic fitness, lipid profile, and insulin resistance indicators in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Forty-four T2D patients aged 48-68 years (27 females, 17 males) were randomly allocated to the football+diet group (FDG; n=22) or to the diet group (DG; n=22), of whom 19 FDG and 15 DG subjects completed the study. The football training was performed for 3x40min/week for 12 weeks. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning, treadmill testing, and fasting blood samplings were performed pre and post-intervention. After 12 weeks, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was elevated (P<0.05) by 10 +/- 4% in FDG but not in DG (-3 +/- 4%, P<0.05). After 12 weeks, reductions in blood triglycerides (0.4 +/- 0.1mmol/L), total cholesterol (0.6 +/- 0.2mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein, and very low-density lipoprotein levels were observed only in FDG. Fat mass decreased (P<0.05) by 3.4 +/- 0.4kg in FDG and 3.7 +/- 0.4kg in DG. The lower (P<0.05) glucagon and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance indicated an improvement in insulin sensitivity in FDG. In conclusion, football combined with restricted diet was effective in enhancing VO2max, reducing total cholesterol and triglycerides, and increasing insulin sensitivity, potentially providing better tools for the prevention of T2D complications than diet alone.

    The influence of femoral tunnel position in single-bundle ACL reconstruction on functional outcomes and return to sports
    (2014) FERNANDES, Tiago Lazzaretti; FREGNI, Felipe; WEAVER, Kayleen; PEDRINELLI, Andre; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo Jose
    The purpose of this study was to radiographically investigate the influence of femoral tunnel placement in ACL reconstruction on early outcomes and return to sports due to anatomic and nonanatomic positioning. A prospective study was conducted from 2008 to 2010, with 86 athletes who underwent ACL reconstruction between anteromedial (AM) footprint and high AM position. Knee functional outcomes (IKDC objective and subjective, Tegner score, and Lysholm scale) return to sports and complications were analyzed at 6- and 12-month follow-up. At follow-up, it was observed that tunnel projection along Blumensaat's line was correlated with functional outcomes on Tegner scale (at 6 and 12 months) and IKDC subjective (at 12 months). There was a significant difference in mean tunnel projection along Blumensaat's line when analyzing return to sports (73 +/- A 1.4 and 79 +/- A 1.7 %, respectively, for projections on return vs. no return to sports, p = 0.02) and complications (73 +/- A 1.3 vs. 78 +/- A 1.6 %, respectively, for projections on no complications vs. complications, p = 0.03). No differences were stated on coronal view. These correlations between tunnel positioning on functional outcomes could not be explained by demographic or baseline characteristics. The clinical relevance of this study is that tunnel positioning along AM footprint and high AM position represented by tunnel projection along Blumensaat's line is associated with early return to sports on previous Tegner level and better functional outcome in athletes.

    (2022) ASPERTI, A. N. D. R. E. M. A. R. A. N. G. O. N. I.; JOVANOVIC, I. G. O. R.; CARUI, N. I. C. K. O. L. A. S. A. N. D. R. E. A. S. B. O. M.; PEDRINELLI, A. N. D. R. E.; HERNANDEZ, A. R. N. A. L. D. O. J. O. S. E.; FERNANDES, T. I. A. G. O. L. A. Z. Z. A. R. E. T. T. I.
    Objective: To evaluate the nature and rate of sports injuries in medical students, as well as the risk factors at these events. Methods: All student-athletes (218) from a Medical School, integrated in at least one of the six team sport modalities (soccer, rugby, indoor soccer, handball, basketball, and volleyball) in 2017, were included. Injuries affecting their performance, regardless of time loss, were included. Athlete-exposure (A-E) was defined as one student-athlete participating in one practice or game. Results: Injury rates were significantly higher in junior medical students (1(st) - 3(rd) year) (7.58 per 1000 A-E, 95%CI = 6.11-9.06) than in senior medical students (4(th) - 6(th) year) (4.49 per 1000 A-E, 95%CI = 3.26-5.73) (p < 0.001). Multi-sports athletes had higher injury rates (10.69 per 1000 A-E, 95%CI = 8.22-13.17) than single-sport athletes (4.49 per 1000 A-E, 95%CI = 3.51-5.47) (p = 0.002). More than 60% of reported injuries occurred in the lower limbs and the mechanism that accounted for most injuries in games was player contact (51%); whereas in practice, it was non-contact (53%). Conclusion: Junior medical students present a higher injury rate than seniors. Medical students practicing more than one modality had a higher injury rate than those involved in just one sport modality.

    Arthroscopic partial anterior synovectomy of the knee on patients with haemophilia
    (2015) ALMEIDA, Adriano Marques de; REZENDE, Marcia Uchoa de; CORDEIRO, Felippi Guizardi; VILLACA, Paula Ribeiro; D'AMICO, Elbio Antonio; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo Jose; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis
    This study assessed the results of two-portal knee arthroscopic synovectomy in terms of bleeding recurrence, knee function, quality of life (QOL), and radiographic staging in a prospective case series of patients with haemophilia. Nine knees from eight patients (median age 16.1 years; range 9.6-25 years) with haemophilia and recurrent knee haemarthrosis were prospectively evaluated. Yearly recurrence of bleeding was evaluated once a year for 5 years postoperatively. Range of motion (ROM) and radiographic staging, as well as results of the short form (SF)-36 and subjective knee form of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaires, were evaluated before surgery and at the end of follow-up. Mean bleeding recurrence was significantly reduced during the 5-year follow-up period. Questionnaire results showed significant improvements (IKDC P = 0.015, WOMAC P = 0.011, and SF-36 P = 0.023), whereas ROM was not significantly affected. Arthropathy progressed from Arnold-Hilgartner radiographic stage III to stage IV (P = 0.0082). Two-portal knee arthroscopic synovectomy was effective at reducing bleeding recurrence and improving knee function and QOL in patients with haemophilia, but did not interrupt the progression of radiographic changes. Case series, Level IV.

    Human Synovial Mesenchymal Stem Cells Good Manufacturing Practices for Articular Cartilage Regeneration
    (2018) FERNANDES, Tiago Lazzaretti; KIMURA, Heitor Akio; PINHEIRO, Carla Cristina Gomes; SHIMOMURA, Kazunori; NAKAMURA, Norimasa; FERREIRA, Jose Ricardo; GOMOLL, Andreas H.; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo Jose; BUENO, Daniela Franco
    Background: Cartilage restoration is a desperately needed bridge for patients with symptomatic cartilage lesions. Chondral lesion is a pathology with high prevalence, reaching as much as 63% of general population and 36% among athletes. Despite autologous chondrocyte implantation versatility, it still fails to fully reproduce hyaline articular cartilage characteristics. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be isolated from various known tissues, including discarded fragments at arthroscopy such as synovial membrane. Choice of harvesting site is motivated by MSCs' abilities to modulate immunologic and inflammatory response through paracrine communication. Synovial MSCs have a greater proliferation and strong chondrogenic potential than bone and adipose MSCs and a less hypertrophic differentiation than bone MSCs. Good manufacturing practice (GMP) laboratory techniques for human clinical trials are still novel. To our knowledge, there are only two clinical trials in humans published since today. Purpose: Therefore, this work aimed to isolate and characterize synovial MSCs and evaluated their differentiation properties according to GMP standards. Materials and Methods: One-gram tissue sample from three patients of synovia was harvested at the beginning of arthroscopy surgery. MSCs were isolated, expanded, and characterized by flow cytometry. Results: It was possible to isolate and expand MSCs cultures from synovia, characterize MSCs by flow cytometry using proper monoclonal antibodies, and differentiate MSCs by coloring technique after chondrogenic, adipogenic, and osteogenic differentiations. Cartilage treatment may benefit from these tissue engineering protocols since arthroscopic procedures are routinely performed for different purposes in a previous stage and a favorable chondronegic differentiation cell lineage may be collected and stored in a less invasive way. Conclusion: Laboratory protocols established according to presented GMP were able to isolate and characterize MSCs obtained from synovia.

    Tissue Engineering and Cell Therapy for Cartilage Repair: Preclinical Evaluation Methods
    (2022) SANTANNA, Joao P. C.; FARIA, Rafaella R.; ASSAD, Isabella P.; PINHEIRO, Carla C. G.; AIELLO, Vera D.; ALBUQUERQUE-NETO, Cyro; BORTOLUSSI, Roberto; CESTARI, Idagene A.; MAIZATO, Marina J. S.; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo J.; BUENO, Daniela F.; FERNANDES, Tiago L.
    A chondral injury is a limiting disease that can affect the quality of life and be an economic burden due to the cost of immediate treatment and loss in work productivity. If left untreated, such an injury may progress to osteoarthritis, a degenerative and debilitating joint disease characterized by pain and functional impairment. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which have immune-modulatory properties and the ability to differentiate into chondroblasts and osteoblasts, are a predictable source for the treatment of cartilage injuries. This article presents tools to evaluate cartilage restoration by tissue engineering and cell therapy treatment in a translational and preclinical large animal model. In this controlled experimental study with 14 miniature pigs, a scaffold-free tissue engineering construct (TEC) derived from dental pulp and synovial MSCs for cartilage therapy was tested. Total thickness cartilage defects were performed in both posterior knees. The defect was left empty in one of the knees, and the other received the TEC. The tissue repair was morphologically assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the three-dimensional double echo steady-state (3D-DESS) sequence, and compositional assessment was carried out based on the T2 mapping technique. The osteochondral specimens were fixed for histopathology, decalcified, subjected to standard histological processing, sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The sections stained for immunohistochemical detection of collagen types were digested with pepsin and chondroitinase and incubated with antibodies against them. The mechanical evaluation involved analysis of Young's modulus of the cartilage samples based on the indentation and maximum compression test. In addition, a finite element model was used to simulate and characterize properties of the osteochondral block. At 6 months after surgery, there were no complications with the animals and the MRI, histological, immunohistochemical, and biomechanical evaluations proved to be effective and qualified to differentiate good quality chondral repair from inadequate repair tissue. The proposed methods were feasible and capable to properly evaluate the defect filled with TEC containing stromal cells after 6 months of follow-up in a large animal model for articular cartilage restoration. Impact StatementArticular chondral injuries are prevalent and represent an economic burden due to the cost of treatment. The engineering of cartilage tissue can promote the repair of chondral injuries and is dependent on selecting appropriate cells and biocompatible frameworks. In this article, methods for evaluation of a scaffold-free cell delivery system made from mesenchymal stromal cells were present in a translational study that allows further clinical safety and efficacy trials.
