ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT To evaluate the efficacy of viscosupplementation in patients with osteoarthritis of the ankle. A systematic review to evaluate the evidence in the literature on the use of viscosupplementation for osteoarthritis of the ankle. For this review, we considered blind randomized prospective studies involving the use of viscosupplementation for osteoarthritis of the ankle. A total of 1,961 articles were identified in various databases. After examining each of the articles, five articles were included in this review. Treatment with intraarticular hyaluronic acid is a safe treatment modality that significantly improves functional scores of patients, with no evidence of superiority in relation to other conservative treatments. Further clinical trials with larger numbers of patients are needed so that we can recommend its use and address unanswered questions . Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT

Os autores avaliam os resultados de 35 procedimentos de descompressão cirúrgica do nervo ulnar realizados em 28 pacientes hansênicos. Os parâmetros utilizados incluíram a escala analógica visual, a escala comportamental, a avaliação da força muscular, a estesiometria e a avaliação do efeito do procedimento no que tange à diminuição da corticoterapia no pós-operatório. Observou-se resolução imediata da dor após a realização da cirurgia, melhora da força muscular em metade dos pacientes, melhora da sensibilidade em metade dos pacientes. A diminuição da dosagem da prednisona após a cirurgia foi constante e significativa após a operação.


In this study, the authors assess the results of 35 surgical ulnar nerve decompression procedures performed on 28 leprous patients. The parameters employed included the visual analogue scale, the behavioral scale, the muscle strength evaluation, the esthesiometry and the evaluation of the effect of the procedure on decreasing postoperative corticoid therapy doses. Early resolution of pain was seen after surgery, muscle strength increased in half of the patients, sensitivity increased in half of the patients, with ongoing and significant decrease of prednisone doses after surgery.
