- Simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and computer-assisted open-wedge high tibial osteotomy: A report of eight cases(2011) DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passarelli; ALBUQUERQUE, Roberto Freire da Mota eEight patients, aged 37-50 years, with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency, medial compartment osteoarthritis and varus deformity underwent simultaneous arthroscopic ACL reconstruction and open-wedge high tibial osteotomy controlled by a computer navigation system. Despite preoperative planning, the surgeon may need to choose a different osteotomy site during the procedure, invalidating the previous plans. The intraoperative wire control for osteotomies is not precise. The navigation system can help obtain precise alignment during high tibial osteotomy. The average preoperative mechanical axis was 7.5 of varum (sd +/- 1.17 degrees), the average postoperative axis was 1.2 degrees of valgus (sd +/- 1.04 degrees) (p<0.01), and the average correction of the mechanical axis was 8.7 degrees (sd +/- 0.76 degrees). The site of the osteotomy was 3.9 cm (3.5-4.8 cm, sd +/- 0.35 mm) from the articular line, with an inclination of 27.9 degrees (24-35, sd +/- 4.8). The simultaneous use of these procedures allowed proper correction of the knee axis during the surgery. The surgery can be performed concomitantly with ACL reconstruction.
- 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.
- Evaluation of the isometry of different points of the patella and femur for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction(2016) GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PEREIRA, Cesar Augusto Martins; SADIGURSKY, David; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passarelli; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisBackground: The location of patellar and femoral fixation of the graft in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstructions has been widely discussed. This study aimed to assess the distances between different patellar and femoral fixation points to identify the least anisometric pairs of points. Methods: Ten cadaver knees were attached to an apparatus that simulated an active range of motion of 120, with three metallic markers fixed onto the medial side of the patella, and seven markings onto the medial epicondyle. The examined points included the proximal patella pole (1), the patellar center (3), the midpoint between points 1 and 3 (2), a point directly on the epicondyle (6), points 5 mm anterior (5) and posterior (7) to the epicondyle, points 5 mm anterior to point 5 (4) and 5 mm posterior to point 7 (8), and points 5 mm proximal (9) and distal (10) to the epicondyle. The distances between patella and femur points were measured by a photogrammetry system at 15 degrees intervals. Findings: The pair of points that exhibited the lowest average variability in distance, and hence was the most isometric, was the patella center combined with the anterior to the medial femoral epicondyle. The pairs of points that exhibited the highest average variability in distance, and hence were the least isometric, were the ones located distal or posterior to the medial femoral epicondyle, with less influence by the patellar location. Interpretation: Surgeons should avoid positioning the graft distally or posterior to the epicondyle due to the increase in anisometry.
- Prevalence and interference of neuropathic pain in the quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis(2023) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; MOREIRA, Fernando Sant'Anna; SANTIAGO, Matheus Augusto Maciel; MEDEIROS, Lucas de Faria Barros; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; SILVA, Andre Giardino Moreira da; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PECORA, Jose RicardoObjective: With the aging of the population, more patients have complained of pain due to knee Osteoarthritis (OA), and the number of arthroplasties has also increased. The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of the neuropathic pain component in candidates for Total Knee Replacement and the effects of this component on their quality of life. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients with OA candidates for knee arthroplasty in the present institution were evaluated using the pain detection questionnaire and the Visual Analog Pain (VAS) scale to measure the pain index and the presence of associated neuropathic pain. In addition, evaluation of the quality of life and func-tionality using the EQ5D and SF12 questionnaires and their relationship with cases of neuropathic pain were performed. Results: One hundred twenty-six patients were evaluated, and 71.4 % were female. The age ranged from 46 to 85 years, and about 70 % of the patients had some associated clinical comorbidity. Neuropathic pain was present in 28.6 % of the patients evaluated. Patients with neuropathic pain presented worse results in the VAS evaluation, in the care, pain, and anxiety domains of the EQ5D, and in the physical and mental scores of the SF12. Conclusion: Neuropathic pain was present in 28.6 % of the patients with knee OA who are candidates for arthro-plasty. Patients with associated neuropathic pain present a higher level of pain and worse quality of life scores. Recognizing this type of pathology is extremely important in fully monitoring gonarthrosis.
- Medial patellotibial ligament and medial patellomeniscal ligament: anatomy, imaging, biomechanics, and clinical review(2018) HINCKEL, Betina Bremer; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; KALEKA, Camila Cohen; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; ARENDT, Elizabeth A.The purpose of this article is to review anatomical, biomechanical, and clinical data of the medial patellotibial ligament (MPTL) and medial patellomeniscal ligament (MPML), as well as studies focusing on the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) but with relevant data about the MPTL and MPML. A literature search of articles specifically addressing the MPTL and/or MPML was included along with studies focusing on the MPFL but with relevant data about the MPTL and MPML. The medial patellar ligaments responsible for maintaining the stability of the patellofemoral (PF) joint include the MPFL, the MPTL, and the MPML. The MPFL is considered the primary restraint to lateral patellar translation, while the latter two are considered secondary restraints. There is robust literature on the anatomical, imaging, and biomechanical characteristics of the MPFL, and also the clinical outcome of its injury and surgical reconstruction; much less is known about the MPTL and MPML. Isolated MPFL reconstruction has good clinical and functional outcomes, with a low failure rate when defined as frank re-dislocation. Complications, including continued episodes of patellar apprehension and subluxation, remain present in most series. In addition, the current literature primarily includes a homogeneous population with few excessive anatomic dysplastic factors. There is lack of knowledge on the role of MPTL and MPML in (potentially) aiding patella stabilization and improving clinical outcomes. Understanding the role of the medial-sided patellar ligaments, in particular the role of the secondary stabilizers, in PF function and injury will aid in this goal. MPTL and MPML have consistent basic science literature, as well as favorable clinical outcomes of surgical patellar stabilization with reconstruction of the MPTL. However, there is much heterogeneity among clinical case series and lack of comparative studies to allow clear indication for the role of isolated or combined surgical reconstruction in patellar stabilization. Therefore, this comprehensive review helps understand the current knowledge and the possible applications in the orthopedic clinical practice. V.
- Fatigue meniscal tears: a description of the lesion and the results of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy(2016) DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisPurpose The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes of partial meniscectomy in patients with ""fatigue meniscal tear"", which presents as a non-traumatic tear with abrupt onset of symptoms of a radial tear in the transition between the middle and posterior thirds of the meniscus. Methods We prospectively followed 71 patients with ""fatigue meniscal tear"" (41 women and 30 men, mean age of 63 years, SD 6.9 years) recruited among 497 patients with isolated medial meniscal lesions treated between January 2006 and June 2011. Inclusion criteria were spontaneous abrupt onset knee pain, minor or no trauma, no radiographic or MRI osteoarthritis, no bone oedema, pre-operative magnetic resonance image of medial meniscus tear, and arthroscopic evaluation demonstrating radial or vertical flap tear in the body to posterior horn junction of the medial meniscus. We followed all patients for a minimum of two years and reviewed their clinical symptoms, physical exam, functional outcome, and patient satisfaction at last follow-up. Results The average follow-up was 4.2 years, with a minimum follow-up of two years. Among the 71 patients, there were 59 (83.1 %) good or excellent results and 12 (16.9 %) poor results. These 12 patients demanded further treatment because of persistent pain, with three of the patients developing subchondral bone fracture. All patient complaints and poor outcomes could be identified in the initial six months after surgery. There was no gender difference in the subgroup analysis. Conclusion Our findings indicate that patients with ""fatigue meniscal tear"" benefit from arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, with only 16.9 % reporting unfavourable results.
- Clinical Outcomes of Posterolateral Complex Reconstruction Performed with a Single Femoral Tunnel(2021) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto Luis; ANGELINI, Fabio JansonThe objective of this study is to report the functional outcomes, complications, and reconstruction failure rate of patients undergoing posterolateral complex reconstruction with a single femoral tunnel technique. Patients with posterolateral complex injuries associated with injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), or both undergoing surgical treatment with the single femoral tunnel technique were included in the study. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm's scales were evaluated, in addition to age, gender, time between trauma and surgery, trauma type, range of motion (ROM) restrictions, peroneal nerve injury, and reconstruction failure. Sixty-six patients were included. Eighteen underwent ACL and posterolateral complex (PLC) reconstruction (group 1), 24 underwent ACL, PCL, and PLC reconstruction (group 2), and 24 underwent PCL and PLC reconstruction (group 3). The mean follow-up was 63 months. The subjective IKDC was 83.7 +/- 14.6 for group 1, 74.3 +/- 12.6 for group 2, and 66.3 +/- 16.0 for group 3 ( p <0.001). The Lysholm's score was 87.112.8 for group 1, 79.5 +/- 15.0 for group 2, and 77.7 +/- 15.2 for group 3 ( p =0.042). There were six reconstruction failures among the patients (9.1%) with no differences among the groups ( p =0.368). Female gender and reconstruction failure were associated with worse outcomes. Patients undergoing reconstruction of PLC structures with the single femoral tunnel technique achieved good functional outcomes and a failure rate similar to literature. Patients undergoing only combined ACL reconstruction showed better outcomes than patients undergoing combined PCL reconstruction. Female gender was associated with a worse functional outcome irrespective of the injury type.
- Regarding ""Intra-articular Injection of Tranexamic Acid Reduced Postoperative Hemarthrosis in Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Randomized Study""(2019) GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; HELITO, Camilo Partezani; PECORA, Jose Ricardo
- Radiographic Landmarks for Locating the Femoral Origin and Tibial Insertion of the Knee Anterolateral Ligament(2014) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; TIRICO, Luis Eduardo Passareli; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisBackground: Recent anatomic studies have confirmed the presence of a true ligament structure, the anterolateral ligament (ALL), in the anterolateral region of the knee. This structure is involved in the rotatory instability of the knee and might explain why some isolated reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament result in a residual pivot shift. Therefore, when considering the least invasive method for reconstruction of this structure, it is important to identify the corresponding bony landmarks on radiographic images. Purpose: To establish radiographic femoral and tibial landmarks for the ALL in frontal and lateral views. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Ten unpaired cadaver knees were dissected. The attachments of the ALL were isolated and its anatomic parameters were quantified. Its origin and insertion were marked with a 2-mm-diameter metallic sphere, and radiographs were taken from frontal and lateral views. The obtained images were analyzed and the ALL parameters established. Results: The origin of the ALL in the lateral view was found at a point an average SD of 47.5% 4.3% from the anterior edge of the femoral condyle and about 3.7 +/- 1.1 mm below the Blumensaat line. In the frontal view, the origin was about 15.8 +/- 1.9 mm from the distal condyle line. The ALL insertion was an average of 53.2% +/- 5.8% from the anterior edge of the lateral tibial plateau in the lateral view and 7.0 +/- 0.5 mm below the lateral tibial plateau in the frontal view. In anatomic dissections, the origin of the ALL was 1.9 +/- 1.4 mm anterior and 4.1 +/- 1.1 mm distal to the lateral collateral ligament, and the insertion was 4.4 +/- 0.8 mm below the lateral tibial plateau cartilage. Conclusion: The ALL origin on an absolute lateral radiograph of the knee is approximately 47% of the anterior-posterior size of the condyle and 3.7 mm caudal to the Blumensaat line. In a frontal radiograph, the ALL is 15.8 mm from the posterior bicondyle line. The ALL insertion is approximately 53.2% of the anterior-posterior size of the plateau in the lateral view and 7.0 mm below the articular line in the frontal view. Clinical Relevance: Knowledge of the anatomic landmarks of the ALL on radiography will permit minimally invasive surgical reconstruction with lower morbidity.
- Surgical Timing Does Not Interfere on Clinical Outcomes in Combined Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament: A Comparative Study With Minimum 2-Year Follow-Up(2021) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisPurpose: To compare the functional outcomes, knee stability, failure rate and complication rates of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction with hamstrings grafts between acute and chronic cases. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent combined ACL and ALL reconstruction with hamstrings grafts were evaluated. Patients operated on less than 8 weeks after injury were allocated to group 1, and the others were allocated to group 2. Demographic data, knee stability, and functional outcomes of the 2 groups were evaluated. Results: Thirty-four patients in the acute group and 96 in the chronic group were evaluated. The follow-up time was similar between the groups (28.7 +/- 5.2 [24-43] months vs 29.4 +/- 7.2 [24-58] months; P = 0.696). No differences were found between the groups in age, sex, trauma mechanism, presence of knee hyperextension, graft diameter, and meniscal injuries. There was no difference between the groups in the postoperative KT-1000 and in the pre- or postoperative pivot shift. The preoperative KT-1000 was higher in group 2 (7.9 +/- 1.1 vs 7.4 +/- 1.2; P = 0.031). There were no differences in the International Knee Documentation Committee or Lysholm. Three (2.3%) patients developed failure, 1 (2.9%) in group 1 and 2 (2.1%) in group 2. The total complication rate was 10% and did not differ between the groups. Conclusions: Combined ACL and ALL reconstruction has similar outcomes in patients undergoing surgery in the acute and chronic phases. Patients with chronic injury have similar knee stability, functional scores, and failure rates as acute-injury patients, and patients with acute injury have no more complications than chronic patients. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative therapeutic trial.
