- Effect of postoperative use of nasal oxygen catheter supplementation in wound healing following total knee arthroplasty(2014) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; JUNQUEIRA, Jader Joel Machado; GOBBI, Ricardo Gomes; ANGELINI, Fabio Janson; REZENDE, Marcia Uchoa; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passarelli; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota e; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisOBJECTIVES: Healing is an event that is fundamental to the success of total knee arthroplasty. The aims of the present study were to compare the rates of complications related to wound healing between two groups of volunteers submitted to total knee arthroplasty and to evaluate the effects of postoperative oxygen supplementation by means of a nasal catheter. METHOD: A total of 109 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty were randomized into two groups, namely, groups that did and did not receive postoperative oxygen supplementation via a nasal catheter. The surgical wound was monitored every day during the hospital stay and on the 7th, 14th, 21st, 30th and 42nd postoperative days. Characteristics related to healing were observed, including hyperemia, dehiscence, necrosis, phlyctenules and deep and superficial infection. RESULTS: There were no cases of deep infection. Hyperemia was statistically correlated with the total number of complications in the groups, with oxygen demonstrated to be a protective factor against hyperemia. Approximately 30% of the patients who exhibited hyperemia had other complications, independent of oxygen supplementation. CONCLUSION: Oxygen supplementation following total knee arthroplasty was shown to be effective in diminishing hyperemia around the operative wound. The development of hyperemia was a precursor to other complications, irrespective of whether oxygen supplementation was used.
- Surgical management of knee dislocations with ligament reconstruction associated with a hinged external fixator(2015) ANGELINI, F. J.; HELITO, C. P.; BONADIO, M. B.; ALBUQUERQUE, R. F. da Mota e; PECORA, J. R.; CAMANHO, G. L.Introduction: Knee dislocations are defined as ligament injuries involving at least two of the four most important knee ligaments. Results from recent studies have shown a tendency towards improvement of the functional outcomes with use of an articulated external fixator during the postoperative period following multiligament reconstruction. Our hypothesis was that good knee stability and early gain of range of motion could be achieved with the use of the external fixator after ligament reconstructions. Methods: Fourteen patients with knee dislocations were evaluated after multiligament reconstruction in association with use of a lateral monoplanar external fixator for six weeks. Reconstructions were performed using grafts from a tissue bank. Range of motion was measured after one, two, three, six, twelve months and at the final evaluation at a mean time of 49 months. The assessments were made using objective and subjective IKDC, Lysholm and Tegner scales. Results: The mean scores were 71.7 for the subjective IKDC score, 81.5 for the Lysholm score. No patient was able to return to previous Tegner score. Out of the 45 ligament reconstructions performed, only four failed during the follow-up time. The mean range of motion of the knee presented a progressive increase from the first to the twelfth month, from 67.8 degrees. to 115.7 degrees. Two cases of superficial infection on the site of the external fixator pins were observed. Conclusion: The use of an external fixator enabled early rehabilitation with range of motion gains starting from the first postoperative month, a low rate of reconstruction failure and minimal complications. Nevertheless, none of the patients returned to the level of activity prevailing prior to the injury.
- Combined reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament using a single femoral tunnel(2017) BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; FONI, Noel Oizerovici; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota e; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonLesions of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) are the most common knee ligament injuries, and lesions associated with the anterior cruciate ligament or the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in knee dislocations should be reconstructed to prevent failure of the central pivot reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of combined PCL/MCL reconstruction using a single femoral tunnel with a minimum 2-year follow-up. A retrospective study of thirteen patients with combined PCL/MCL injuries was conducted. The patients underwent PCL and MCL reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft with a single tunnel in the medial femoral condyle, thereby avoiding tunnel conversion. All patients achieved a range of motion of at least 100A degrees. The mean loss of extension and flexion values compared to the contralateral side was 1A degrees A +/- 2A degrees and 9A degrees A +/- 10A degrees, respectively. Our results included 26 reconstructions with three (11.5 %) failures, two in the PCL (15.3 %) and one in the MCL (7.6 %), in three different patients. In the final evaluation, the mean IKDC subjective score was 71.63 +/- 16.23, the mean Lysholm score was 80.08 +/- 13.87, and the median Tegner score was 6 (range = 2-7). The PCL/MCL reconstruction technique using a single femoral tunnel and an Achilles tendon allograft is safe, avoids the convergence of tunnels in the medial femoral condyle, has excellent results, and is reproducible.

- Screw loosening and iliotibial band friction after posterolateral corner reconstruction(2014) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota e; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonBackground: Many reconstruction techniques have already been developed for treating posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries, with still no consensus regarding what would be the best option. Some techniques use non-bone tunnel fixation, attaching the graft to the femur using a cortical screw with toothed washer. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate complications related to fixation performed by a screw and toothed washer technique. Methods: A prospective study with surgical reconstruction of the PLC structures of the knee between January 2008 and December 2009 was performed. PLC reconstruction included reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligament, popliteofibular ligament and popliteal muscle tendon. Fixation of the grafts in the femur was achieved by means of a 4.5 mm screw with a toothed washer. The assessments were done using the following methods: objective IKDC, subjective IKDC, Lysholm and Tegner. Radiographic evaluations were performed immediately after the operation, at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, and yearly thereafter. Complications were documented. Results: The mean subjective IKDC score after the operation was 69.2; Lysholm scale was 80.7. Two patients presented failure of reconstructions of the PLC. In the radiographic evaluations, signs of loosening of the screw with toothed washer in the femur were observed in eight cases (66.6%). Six patients (50%) complained of lateral pain after the operation. Conclusion: The technique of femoral fixation was shown to be efficient in restoration of stability. However there was a high rate of complications secondary to implant, such as loosening of the screws and iliotibial tract friction.
- Functional assessment of combined reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner with a single femoral tunnel: a two-year minimum follow-up(2015) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota e; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonPurpose A technique for combined reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterolateral corner (PLC) with a single femoral tunnel was recently described. This technique aims to avoid tunnel confluence in the lateral femoral condyle. Because there have been no studies on the functional outcomes and possible complications of this technique, our goal is to demonstrate a two-yearminimum follow-up of patients who underwent this type of reconstruction. Methods Nine patients were prospectively evaluated. The ACL was reconstructed with an anatomic single bundle, and the PLC structures reconstructed were the lateral collateral ligament, the popliteus tendon, and the popliteofibular ligament. Patients were evaluated using the objective and subjective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and the Lysholm and Tegner scales before and after the surgical procedure. Results The mean follow-up period of the studied patients was 27.3 months. The mean subjective IKDC score rose from 43.6 to 84.0, and the Lysholm score rose from 62.1 to 90.8. In the final assessment, six patients were classified as IKDC A and three as IKDC B. According to the Tegner scale, five patients were able to return to their level of activity prior to the injury. There were no reconstruction failures. One patient experienced postoperative infection and pain in the lateral scar. Conclusions The results of the reconstruction of ACL injuries associated with PLC with a single femoral tunnel produced a good functional outcome and a low incidence of complications.
- External fixator for treatment of the sub-acute and chronic multi-ligament-injured knee(2015) ANGELINI, Fabio Janson; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; GUIMARES, Tales Molica; BARRETO, Ronald Bispo; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota eTo assess whether the use of an articulated external fixator provides improvements in the mobility, stability and subjective function of patients undergoing ligament reconstruction. Thirty-three patients with sub-acute and chronic knee dislocation were subjected to multi-ligament reconstruction surgery. These patients were randomly allocated to two groups for immobilization after reconstruction: group 0-control (18 patients), with rigid knee bracing, and group 1-articulated external fixator (15 patients). The stability of the reconstructed ligaments was assessed after at least 14 months (26.6-month average) postoperatively by physical examination. Deficit of extension and flexion was measured in relation to the unaffected contralateral knee, and the Lysholm knee scoring scale questionnaire was applied. There was no difference in the assessment of joint stability between the groups. In group 1, patients showed less flexion deficit (4.8A degrees A A +/- A 5.4A degrees vs. 18.2A degrees A A +/- A 14.8A degrees, p < 0.05), and the percentage of patients with a flexion deficit of 5A degrees or less were higher compared with group 0 (64 vs. 18 %, p < 0.05). There was no difference between groups in relation to extension loss. Group 1 also presented better Lysholm scores, with 73 % of patients rated as excellent or good compared with 35 % in group 0 (p < 0.05). Compared with the control rehabilitation protocol with rigid knee bracing in extension, the use of an articulated external fixator in the treatment of chronic multi-ligament-injured knees provided the same ligament stability, better final range of motion and improved Lysholm score. Patients presenting with chronic multi-ligament instability should be considered for articulated external fixation to supplement reconstruction procedures. Randomized controlled trial, Level I.
