- ANTEROMEDIAL OR CENTRAL ANATOMIC ACL RECONSTRUCTION? A CADAVERIC HIP-TO-TOE STUDY(2023) FERNANDES, Tiago Lazzaretti; SOUZA, Michel Oliveira; NETO, Cyro Albuquerque; ARAUJO, Paulo Henrique; PEDRINELLI, Andre; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo JoseObjective: To compare anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction between two tunnel positions in knees with isolated ligament tears. Methods: Anatomic ACL reconstruction was performed, from hip-to-toe, on 15 fresh cadaveric specimens. No associated lesions were created to enhance knee instability. The protocol was conducted in three states: (1) complete isolated ACL deficiency; (2) anatomic femoral and tibial anteromedial ACL reconstruction (AM REC); and (3) anatomic femoral and tibial central ACL reconstruction (Central REC). The reconstruction protocols were randomly assigned. The continuous mechanized pivot-shift test was recorded dynamically with a tracking system. Results: The Central REC group showed a smaller degree of internal rotation (0.6 & DEG; & PLUSMN; 0.3 & DEG; vs. 1.8 & DEG; & PLUSMN; 0.3 & DEG;, respectively, P < 0.05) and no difference in anterior translation (4.7 mm & PLUSMN; 0.4 mm vs. 4.5 mm & PLUSMN; 0.4 mm, respectively, P > 0.05) in the pivot-shift test, compared with the AM REC group. Conclusion: The central anatomic ACL reconstruction resulted in greater restriction of internal rotation than the anteromedial anatomic ACL reconstruction. Experimental Study on Cadaver.
- Optimised return to play: high treatment success rate in core muscle injury with surgical release of the anterior tendon of the rectus abdominis muscle and proximal tenotomy of the adductor longus muscle(2024) PEDRINELLI, Andre; FERNANDAS, Joao Vitor de Castro; LEITE FILHO, Carlos Guilherme Dorile; ALMEIDA, Adriano Marques de; FERNANDES, Tiago Lazzaretti; HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo JoseObjectives: Core muscle injury is a debilitating condition that causes chronic groin pain in athletes, particularly common in soccer players. The condition is characterised by pain in the inguinal region and can lead to a significant number of absences from high-intensity physical activity. It is caused by repetitive overload without proper counterbalance from the abdominal muscles, hip flexors, and adductors in susceptible athletes. Surgical indications for core muscle injury consider cases where non-surgical treatments have not provided sufficient relief. The aim of this study was to assess the results of surgical intervention for core muscle injury using the technique employed by the Sports Medicine Group of (Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Hospital das Clinicas - Universidade de Sao Paulo). The procedure involves releasing the anterior portion of the tendon of the rectus abdominis muscle near the pubic symphysis, along with proximal tenotomy of the adductor longus muscle tendon. Methods: This study utilised a consecutive historical cohort analysis of the medical records of 45 male athletes, of which, 75.6% were professional soccer players, who underwent surgical treatment between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021. The participants included active athletes aged between 18 and 40 years, with a mean age of 23.9 years, and were diagnosed with myotendinous core muscle injury. These athletes experienced pain in the pubic symphysis and adductor tendon region and had previously undergone medical treatment and physical therapy for a duration of three to six months without significant improvement. Results: The average time for athletes to return to sport after surgery was 135 days, with a majority of participants being soccer and futsal players. The surgical intervention yielded promising results, with a positive correlation between unilateral injuries and the time taken to return to sport. The complication rate was low, at 6.7%. Notably, the rate of symptom resolution was high, at 93.3%. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that the player's position on the field significantly influenced the discharge period, suggesting that the game position plays a role in the recovery process. Conclusion: The combined surgical procedure involving the release of the rectus abdominis tendon and adductor longus muscle tenotomy demonstrates favourable outcomes for athletes with core muscle injury. This study provides strong support for the effectiveness of this surgical approach in managing the condition and offers a potential path to recovery and return to sports activities. Study design: Cross-sectional study.
- Articles Published in Brazilian Journals Relevant to Sports and Exercise Medicine; a Review(2011) HERNANDEZ, Arnaldo JoseThe purpose of this new series of 34 articles is to alert national and international readers to some of the most important recent contributions of the Brazilian medical literature in other areas of specialization. These are works that offer support to many lines of research in this area. The most relevant original articles are selected by experienced editors, who provided us with key words, which are highlighted in order to attract readers' attention. To facilitate reading, the articles are organized by area of interest. To make the maximum use of the limited editorial space, the authors' names are omitted. The final result brings the best of each article, in the authors' opinion, with a personal summary interpretation. Targeted at busy doctors, we hope this initiative will help further knowledge of scientific evidence for use in clinical practice, facilitating access to works of specific interest to the reader.
