Therapeutic effect of femoral acetabular impact syndrome under the hip arthroscopy and analysis of X-ray indicators / 中国内镜杂志

Objective?To analyze the clinical efficacy and related X-ray findings of patients underwent arthroscopic treatment of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome with different anatomical features.?Methods?Twenty-four patients with FAI underwent arthroscopic surgery from September 2015 to December 2016 were selected to analyze the clinical features, postoperative pain, knee joint function, activity and complications.?Results?Compared with those before treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of patients at 7 d, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment, while the Harris scores were significantly increased, at the same time patients’ knee activity was significantly increased, The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The α angle of the hip joint of the cam-type patient was significantly higher than that of the jaw-type, while the eccentricity, acetabular depth, acetabular coverage and centerline (CE) angle were significantly lower than the jaw-type, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); The α angle of the cam-type patient was significantly higher than that of the healthy person’s hip joint, and the eccentricity was significantly lower than that of the healthy person’s hip joint. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); the acetabular depth and hip of the clamp-type patient Radon coverage and CE angle were higher than those of hip joints in healthy people, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in acetabular anterior tilt between the three groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of complications in 24 patients underwent arthroscopy was 20.83%.?Conclusion?Hip arthroscopic treatment of hip impingement syndrome can shorten the patient’s pain relief, improve knee function and activity, its effect is good, and different hip anatomical X-ray film was significantly different.

Dor no ombro em mulheres com síndrome do manguito rotador / Shoulder pain in women with rotator cuff syndrome

Introdução: dor no ombro é queixa frequente nos serviços que tratam doenças músculo-esqueléticas. Apresenta prevalência entre 20 a 33% na população adulta aumentando com a idade, alcançando seu auge em torno dos 50 anos, sobretudo em mulheres. Estudos apontam como causa mais comum de dor no ombro a síndrome do manguito rotador, com prevalência entre 9.7% a 62%, sendo mulheres mais acometidas. Lesões do manguito rotador podem levar à dor e à limitação do ombro. Objetivo: avaliar a dor no ombro de mulheres com síndrome do manguito rotador. Metodologia: estudo descritivo, com base em dados primários de mulheres atendidas em uma clínica de fisioterapia na cidade de Salvador, Bahia, no período de maio de 2006 a maio de 2007. Foram incluídas no estudo 73 mulheres com dor no ombro com diagnóstico clínico de síndrome do manguito rotador (CID M 75.1). Resultados: 73 mulheres com dor no ombro secundária à síndrome do manguito rotador compuseram a amostra. A idade média foi 50,9 anos com desvio padrão de 16,2 anos. A média da intensidade da dor entre as mulheres foi de 7 na escala EVA. Predominou dor com duração de 6 meses ou mais, dor relacionada ao movimento e mais presente em atividades que utilizaram os braços abaixo da altura dos ombros. Notou-se fraca associação entre dor no ombro e idade (r = 0,17). Conclusão: nesse estudo a dor no ombro de mulheres portadoras de síndrome do manguito rotador apresentou-se de alta intensidade, crônica, ao movimento e apresentou fraca associação com idade.

Introduction: shoulder pain is a frequent complaint in services that treat musculoskeletal disorders. It presents prevalence between 20 to 33% in the adult population increasing with the age, reaching its peak at the 50 years, mainly in women. Studies indicate that rotator cuff syndrome is the most common cause of shoulder pain, with a prevalence of between 9.7% and 62%, being women most affected. Rotator cuff injuries can lead to pain and shoulder limitation. Objective: to evaluate shoulder pain in women with rotator cuff syndrome. Methodology: a descriptive study, based on primary data from women attended at a physiotherapy clinic in the city of Salvador, Bahia, from May 2006 to May 2007. The study included 73 women with shoulder pain with clinical diagnosis of rotator cuff syndrome (ICD M 75.1). Results: 73 women with shoulder pain secondary to rotator cuff syndrome made up the sample. The mean age was 50.9 years with a standard deviation of 16.2 years. The mean pain intensity among women was 7 on the EVA scale. Pain lasting 6 months or more predominated, pain related to movement and more present in activities that used the arms below shoulder height. There was a weak association between shoulder pain and age (r = 0.17). Conclusion: in this study, shoulder pain in women with rotator cuff syndrome presented chronic high-intensity at movement and had a weak association with age.

Avaliação ultra-sonográfica do manguito rotador em indivíduos assintomáticos da terceira idade com acrômio tipo III

Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência das alterações ultrasonográficas nos músculos do manguito rotador em indivíduos assintomáticos da terceira idade com acrômio tipo III. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo, relato de série de casos em 14 indivíduos, 17 ombros, no período compreendido entre julho a setembro de 2007, em Tubarão ? SC. Todos os indivíduos eram assintomáticos, idade superior a 60 anos, com acrômio tipo III. Foram avaliados 17 ombros por ultra-sonografia, exame foirealizado pelo mesmo médico radiologista. As seguintes alterações foram analisadas: irregularidade da cabeça umeral, presença de líquido na bursa subacromial, integridade, ecotextura, calcificações nos músculos domanguito rotador e cabo longo do tendão do bícecps braquial. O nível de significância estabelecido foi de 5% (p < 0,05). Resultados: Foram encontrados quatro indivíduos com lesões completas no músculo supraespinal (23,5%). A média de idade foi de 67 anos (60 - 79 anos). Osindivíduos foram divididos em dois grupos: 60 a 65 e acima de 65 anos. A prevalência das lesões no músculo supraespinal nos indivíduos acima de 65 anos foi mais que o dobro quando comparada com abaixo dessa faixaetária (RP = 2,63; IC 95%: 1,00 ? 6,86; p Fisher = 0,049). Conclusão: As lesões do músculo supraespinal podem ocorrer em indivíduos idosos assintomáticos e quanto mais elevada à idade maior a possibilidade dedesenvolver lesões no músculo supraespinal.

Objective: Evaluate the prevalence of ultrasonographic changes in the rotator cuff muscles in asymptomatic individuals of the elderly age with type III acromion. Methods: A descriptive study was performed, reportof numbers of cases in 14 individuals, 17 shoulders, in the period from July to September of 2007, in Tubarão - SC. All individuals were asymptomatic, age over 60 years, with type III acromion. 17 shoulders were evaluated by ultrasonography; the examination was performed by the same radiologist. The following changes were analyzed: irregularity of humeral head, in the presence of liquid in the subacromial bursa, integrity,echotexture, calcifications in the rotator cuff muscles and long cable of tendon of brachial biceps. The established level of significance was 5% (p <0.05). Results: Four individuals were found with complete injuries in the supraspinatus muscle (23.5%). The mean age was 67 years (60-79 years). The individuals were divided into two groups: 60 to 65 and over 65 years. The prevalence of lesions in the supraspinatus muscle inindividuals over 65 years was more than the double when compared to below this age group (RP = 2.63; CI 95%: 1.00 - 6.86; p Fisher = 0.049 ).Conclusion: The supraspinatus muscle injury may occur in the elderly asymptomatic and the higher the age the greater the possibility of developing lesions in the supraspinatus muscle.

Acute Traumatic Cerebral Edema / 대한법의학회지

The swelling of the brain is very common after head injury. Initially, it is said to be due to dysfunction in the autoregulatory control of cerebral blood flow following head injury. Diffuse brain swelling, so called 'malignant brain edema', is rare except in children and adolescents. Similar condition is also well known as second impact syndrome of which the recent study questions the existence, when the sports-related head injury occurs especially in adolescents. Diffuse brain swelling can cause death or persistent vegetative state even though the head injury is mild. The authors report a case of acute traumatic cerebral edema without herniation.

Shaken Baby Syndrome

Head injury in the youngest age group is distinct from that occurring in older children or adults because of differences in mechanisms, injury thresholds, and the frequency with which the question of child abuse is encountered. "Shaken baby syndrome" has results in intracranial and introcular hemorrhages with no evidence of external trauma. The cause of these injuries is vigorous shaking of an infant being held by the chest, shoulders, or extremities. Severe head injuries commonly diagnosed as shaking injuries require impact to occur and that shaking alone in an otherwise normal baby is unlikely to cause the shaken baby syndrome. "Shaken impact syndrome" has the advantage of being more inclusive of verifiable impact mechanisms and of reflecting the extreme forces that appear to be necessary to produce these often devastating injuries. All clinicians must recognize the wide spectrum of injuries in child abuse to ultimate protect the victim or other children in an at-risk situation. And physicians play an important role in diagnosis, management and prevention of child abuse and shaken baby syndrome.

A Case of Shaken Impact Syndrome with Encephalomalacia / 대한소아신경학회지

Head trauma is the most frequent cause of morbidity and death in abused children. The shaken impact syndrome results from both types of injury-impact and severe acceleration-deceleration effects associated with impact causing shearing forces on the bridging veins and parechyma. To make the diagnosis of shaken impact syndrome, the physician should be suspicious of every child under 1 year of age with non-accidental brain injury and altered consciousness. Certain clinical features such as retinal hemorrhage , complex, depressed, or diastatic fractures, and associated findings such as metaphyseal fracture and failure to thrive make the diagnosis of abuse more likely. Yet in the absence of these findings, the diagnosis of abuse rests upon discrepancies between the history given and the injury incurred. We experienced a case of shaken impact syndrome in a 13 month-old female who had subdural hemorrhage, fractures of skull and rib, and encephalomalacia, so we report and review the related literatures.
