- 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.
- Extensor mechanism injury, infection, and an extended time between trauma and surgical approach are related to the need for total knee arthroplasty removal after traumatic dehiscence(2023) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; DEMANGE, Marco Kawamura; FRANCIOZI, Carlos Eduardo; TKA Traumatic Exposure Study GrpBackground: Surgical wound-related traumatic complications are rarely reported in the lit-erature. Traumatic dehiscence is unpredictable because of the trauma magnitude and the potential of associated injuries. This study aims to report the clinical outcomes and com-plications of a case series due to traumatic dehiscence after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and establish possible criteria for prognosis for maintaining the implant.Methods: Patients admitted to an emergency room due to traumatic dehiscence after TKA were retrospectively evaluated. Patient data was analyzed and patients who maintained or not the arthroplasty were compared to establish prognosis factors.Results: Thirty-two patients with traumatic dehiscence after TKA were evaluated. The trauma occurred on a mean of 14.3 +/-25.0 days after the surgical procedure, and debride-ment in the operating room was performed on a mean of 6.2 +/-4.9 hours after the trauma. Twenty patients maintained the arthroplasty until the end of follow-up and did not require revision. Factors related to arthroplasty removal were associated extensor mechanism injury (p = 0.026), time from trauma to surgical debridement (p = 0.035), and infection (p = 0.0001)Conclusion: Traumatic dehiscence after total knee arthroplasty is an event with a high rate of complications. Extensor mechanism Injury, infection, and extended time between trauma and surgical intervention were poor prognostic factors for arthroplasty maintenance.
- Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Peroneus Longus Tendon Graft(2024) SILVA, Andre Giardino Moreira da; MACEDO, Rodrigo Sousa; SOUZA, Michel Oliveira; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; VIDEIRA, Livia Dau; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; SANTOS, Alexandre Leme Godoy dos; HELITO, Camilo PartezaniThe peroneus longus tendon seems a viable graft option for knee ligament reconstructions, with adequate biomechanical properties and low morbidity after harvesting. The objective of this article is to describe a combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction technique using a single peroneus longus tendon graft harvested from the infra malleolar region to ensure sufficient length.
- Aseptically Processed Allograft Implantation: A Safe Strategy for Knee Ligament Reconstructions(2023) LEITE, Chilan B. G.; MONTECHI, Joao M. N.; CAMANHO, Gilberto L.; GOBBI, Riccardo G.; ANGELINI, Fabio J.Postoperative infections after allograft implantation is a major concern in knee ligament reconstructions considering the theoretical risk of disease transmission and its potential severity. Here, we aimed to evaluate the postoperative infection rate after knee ligament reconstructions using aseptically processed allografts, and provide an overview of the allografts use in an academic tertiary hospital. A retrospective study was performed evaluating patients who underwent knee ligament reconstructions using aseptically processed allografts, including primary and revision surgeries, from 2005 to 2018. Demographic data, including the type of knee injury and trauma energy, and postoperative data were collected focusing on postoperative infections. Regarding these infected cases, further analyses were performed considering the presenting signs and symptoms, the isolated microorganism identified in culture, the time between graft implantation and diagnosis of infection (defined as acute, subacute, and late), and the need for graft removal. A total of 180 cases of ligament reconstructions were included. The mean follow-up was 8.2 (range: 2.1-15.6) years and the mean age at surgery was 34.1 (+/- 11.1) years. A total of 262 allografts were implanted in those 180 cases, 93 (35.5%) as bone plug allografts and 169 (64.5%) as soft tissue allografts. Common surgical indications included multiligament reconstruction (57.2%) and primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (15%). Seven cases (3.9%) presented postoperative infections. Knee pain (100%) and swelling (100%) were the most prevalent symptoms. Two cases (28.6%) presented sinus tract. Allografts were removed in two cases, the same cases that presented draining sinus ( p =0.04). High-energy trauma was the only statistically associated factor for infection ( p =0.04). No significant association between infection and the type of allograft ( p >0.99) or sex ( p =0.35) were observed. Four cases (57.1%) had monomicrobial staphylococcal infections. Based on that, the allograft-related infection rate was 1.7% (the remaining three infected cases). Nonirradiated, aseptically processed allografts have a low postoperative infection rate in knee ligament reconstructions, being a safe alternative for surgeries that require additional source, increased variety, and quantity of grafts.
- Small Hamstring Tendon Graft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Combined With Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Results in the Same Failure Rate as Larger Hamstring Tendon Graft Reconstruction Alone(2023) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SILVA, Andre Giardino Moreira da; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; PECORA, Jose RicardoPurpose: To compare patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring grafts 7 mm or less in diameter combined with anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction versus isolated ACL reconstruction with grafts greater than 7 mm in diameter. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the descriptive data and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts from June 2013 to January 2020 and had a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. Patients with quadrupled or quintupled semitendinosus and gracilis autograft 7 mm or less in diameter combined with single-strand ALL reconstruction (ACL-ALL group) were matched in a 1:2 propensity ratio to patients who underwent isolated single-bundle ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts greater than 7 mm (ACL group). Results: We identified 30 patients in our database who met the criteria for the ACL-ALL group. The patients in this group were matched to 60 patients comprising the ACL group. Both groups were similar regarding all preoperative matched and unmatched variables. The mean ACL graft diameter was 6.8 & PLUSMN; 0.4 mm in the ACL-ALL group and 8.6 & PLUSMN; 0.6 mm in the ACL group (P < .001). The ACL-ALL group presented 1 failure (3.3%), and the ACL group presented 3 failures (5%) (P = .717). Postoperative KT-1000 measurements were similar between the groups (2.1 & PLUSMN; 1.1 mm vs 1.9 & PLUSMN; 1.2 mm, P = .114), as were postoperative pivot-shift grades (P = .652). Subjective International Knee Documentation Committee scores and Lysholm scores did not present any differences between the groups (P = .058 and P = .280, respectively). Conclusions: Patients who undergo combined ACL-ALL reconstruction with an ACL graft diameter of 7 mm or less can achieve similar results to patients who undergo isolated ACL reconstruction with a graft diameter greater than 7 mm. An associated ALL reconstruction can be performed to increase knee stability in patients with small-diameter hamstring grafts.
- The Addition of Either an Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction or an Iliotibial Band Tenodesis Is Associated With a Lower Failure Rate After Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Retrospective Comparative Trial(2023) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SOBRADO, Marcel Faraco; SILVA, Andre Giardino Moreira da; PADUA, Vitor Barion Castro de; GUIMARAES, Tales Mollica; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; PECORA, Jose Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisPurpose: To compare the failure rate in patients who underwent revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) recon-struction alone or associated with an extra-articular procedure. Secondary objectives were to compare ACL laxity, patient -reported outcome measures, and complication rates in these patients and, subsequently, to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent revision ACL reconstruction associated with anatomical anterolateral ligament (ALL) recon-struction or lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study. Patients were classified into 2 groups, according to whether (group 2) or not (group 1) an extra-articular reconstruction was performed. Patients who underwent an extra-articular procedure were further divided into ALL reconstruction (group 2A) and LET (group 2B). Baseline demographic variables, operative data and postoperative data were evaluated. Results: The groups with (86 patients) and without (88 patients) an associated extra-articular reconstruction had similar preoperative data. Group 2 had a lower failure rate (4.6% vs 14.7%; P 1/4 .038), better KT-1000, better pivot -shift, and better Lysholm. There was no difference regarding complications, except more lateral pain in group 2. Regarding the groups who underwent ALL reconstruction (41 patients) and LET (46 patients), group 2A showed better Lysholm scores. Both groups had similar failure rates and complications. Conclusions: Patients who underwent revision ACL reconstruction with a laterally based augmentation procedure had a lower failure rate than patients who underwent isolated revision ACL reconstruction. KT-1000 and pivot -shift examination were also significantly better when a lateral augmentation was performed. Com-plications were similar except for an increase in lateral pain in the augmented group. No clinically important differences were found when comparing the LET group to the ALL group other than a statistical improvement in the Lysholm functional scale, likely not clinically meaningful, favoring the ALL group and an increased duration of post-operative lateral pain in the LET group. Level of Evidence: III, retrospective comparative therapeutic trial.
- Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in skeletally immature patients without correction of bony risk factors leads to acceptable outcomes but higher failure rates(2023) LEITE, Chilan Bou Ghosson; HINCKEL, Betina Bremer; RIBEIRO, Gabriel Fernandes; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; SANTOS, Tarsis Padula; BONADIO, Marcelo Batista; ARENDT, Elizabeth; GOBBI, Riccardo GomesObjectives: To report outcomes and re-dislocation rates of medial patellar stabilizers reconstruction without bone procedures for correction of anatomical risk factors for patellar instability in skeletally immature patients; to compare isolated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction to combined MPFL and medial patellotibial ligament (MPTL) reconstruction in this population. Methods: Patients with open physis and bone abnormalities including patella alta and/or increased tibial tubercletrochlear groove (TT-TG) distance and/or trochlear dysplasia underwent MPFL reconstruction, either isolated or associated with MPTL reconstruction. Preoperative, 1-year follow-up and the latest follow-up (5 years minimum) data were collected. Radiological and clinical evaluations were conducted, with special attention to failure rate. Comparison of results from isolated MPFL and combined MPFL/MPTL reconstructions was performed. Results: Twenty-nine patients were included, 19 in the isolated MPFL group (median 14 years old; follow-up 5.8 +/- 1.7 years) and 10 in the combined MPFL/MPTL group (median 13.5 years old; follow-up 5.2 +/- 1.4 years). Kujala and Tegner scores increased over time, although without statistically significant differences between the two groups at the latest follow-up (p = 0.840 and p > 0.999, respectively). During follow-up, 5 of 19 (26.3%) isolated MPFL and 2 of 10 (20%) MPFL/MPTL reconstructions experienced recurrence of patellar dislocation (p > 0.999). Trochlear dysplasia type D (p = 0.028), knee rotation (p = 0.009) and lateral patellar tilt angle (p = 0.003) were associated with patellar instability recurrence. The isolated MPFL group showed increased laxity on physical exam at the latest follow-up compared to the 1-year follow-up (patellar glide test (p = 0.002), patellar tilt test (p = 0.042) and subluxation in extension (p = 0.019). This increased laxity was not observed in the MPFL/MPTL group (p > 0.999). Comparing both groups, the glide test was significantly better in the combined MPFL/MPTL group in comparison to the isolated MPFL reconstruction group at the latest follow-up (p = 0.021). Conclusion: MPFL reconstruction in isolation or combined with MPTL reconstruction in skeletally immature patients with additional uncorrected anatomical patellofemoral abnormalities leads to acceptable clinical outcomes within a minimum of 5 years follow-up, although has a high failure rate of 24.1%. Addition of a MPTL reconstruction to the MPFL may result in decreased patellar laxity on physical exams, as demonstrated by better patellar glide test, patellar tilt test and subluxation in extension. Level of evidence: Level III; retrospective cohort study.
- Patellar Tilt and Patellar Tendon-Trochlear Groove Angle Present the Optimum Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnostic Reliability for Patients With Patellar Instability(2023) GOBBI, Riccardo Gomes; CAVALHEIRO, Camila Maftoum; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; HINCKEL, Betina Bremer; CAMANHO, Gilberto LuisPurpose: To describe, in controls and in a population with patellar instability, magnetic resonance imaging values of measurements representing major associated factors for patellar instability (patellar height, trochlear dysplasia, and extensor mechanism alignment), as well as their cutoff values. Methods: In total, 323 knee magnetic resonance imaging scans, 142 with patellar instability and 181 controls without patellofemoral complaints (anterior cruciate, medial collateral ligament, meniscus ruptures or normal) were evaluated. Means, normality values in the control population, ideal cutoff values through receiver operating characteristic curves analysis, and interobserver reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient) were described for a series of measurements. Results: All measurements were statistically different in control and instability patients, except for the patellotrochlear index and tibial tuberosity to posterior cruciate ligament distance. The interobserver intraclass correlation coefficient was good or excellent (above 0.75) only for the patellotrochlear index, patellar tendon-trochlear groove (PTTG) angle, and patellar tilt. The optimal cutoff value for each measurement was: PTTG angle >= 25.3(degrees) with sensitivity (S) of 70% and specificity (E) of 89%, patellar tilt >= 16o (S: 69% and E: 84%), trochlear sulcus angle >= 153(degrees) (S: 75% and E: 76%), Carrillon <= 12.8(degrees) (S: 62% and E: 87%), PTTG distance >= 11mm (S: 71% and E: 78%), Caton-Deschamps index >= 1.23 (S: 72% and E: 76%) and trochlear bump >= 3.95 mm (S: 76% and E: 65%). Conclusions: Caton-Deschamps index (>= 1.23), trochlear sulcus angle (>= 153(degrees)), ventral prominence of the trochlea (>= 3.95 mm), PTTG distance (>= 11 mm), PTTG angle (>= 25.3o), Carrillon angle (<= 12.8(degrees)), and patellar tilt (>= 16(degrees)) presented better diagnostic performance for patellar instability. Patellotrochlear index and tibial tuberosity to posterior cruciate ligament distance were not related to patellar instability. The interobserver reliability of the factors related to patellar instability was excellent only for the PTTG angle and lateral patellar tilt. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective case-control study.
- Risk Factors for Symptomatic Cyclops Lesion Formation after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction(2023) HELITO, Camilo Partezani; SILVA, Andre Giardino Moreira da; GIGLIO, Pedro Nogueira; PÁDUA, Vitor Barion Castro de; PÉCORA, José Ricardo; GOBBI, Riccardo GomesAbstract Objective To evaluate the incidence of symptomatic cyclops lesions requiring surgical treatment after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to establish possible intraoperative risk factors related to it. Methods Three hundred and eighty-nine patients aged between 18 and 50 years who underwent primary ACL reconstruction were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into groups according to the presence or absence of symptomatic cyclops lesions, and their characteristics were compared. Patients with associated lesions that required additional surgical procedures (except anterolateral extra-articular procedures) were not included. The rate of symptomatic cyclops lesions was recorded and the following parameters were evaluated: age, gender, time from injury to surgery, graft type and diameter, femoral tunnel perforation technique, fixation type, presence of knee hyperextension, preservation of the ACL remnant, associated anterolateral extra-articular procedure, associated meniscal injury and participation in sports. Results 389 patients were evaluated and 26 (6.7%) patients developed cyclops. The patients with and without cyclops lesions did not differ in age, time from injury to surgery, graft type or diameter, surgical technique, femoral fixation method, presence of knee hyperextension, remnant preservation and associated meniscal injury. The group with cyclops lesion had a higher proportion of females (10 (38.4%) vs 68 (18.7%); OR = 2.7; p= 0.015), higher proportion of extra-articular reconstruction (18 (11.8%) vs 8 (3.4%); OR = 3.8; p= 0.001) and higher proportion of sports practice (23 (8.6%) vs 3 (2.5%); OR = 3.6; p= 0.026). Conclusion In our series, 6.7% of the patients required arthroscopic removal of cyclops lesions. Female gender, associated extra-articular reconstruction and sports practice were factors related to this lesion. Remnant preservation had no relationship with cyclops lesion formation.
