ABSTRACT
Abstract Objectives The aim of the present study was to describe the dimensions of the coracoid grafts in our Latarjet surgeries and compare them with the results described in the literature. In addition, the feasibility of the 7-millimeter rule was verified. Methods Individuals with anterior glenohumeral instability with or without bone loss participated in the present study. The dimensions of 31 coracoid process grafts of patients who were submitted to the Latarjet surgical technique were measured with an analogical caliper and recorded for posterior analysis. Results The dimensions of the coracoid graft did not show statistically significant differences related to gender. The graft width obtained from our sample presented similarities with the dimensions reported in the literature. However, the length and thickness were smaller when compared to the reference study (Young et al, 2013).15 The 7-millimeter rule was considered feasible regarding the graft dimensions obtained from our sample. Conclusion The coracoid graft dimensions were similar to the dimensions described in the literature regarding width, but the same was not found for length and thickness; and the 7-millimeter rule was feasible regarding the graft dimensions obtained from our sample.
Resumo Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever as dimensões do processo coracoide em nossas cirurgias de Latarjet e compará-las com os resultados descritos na literatura. Além disso, a viabilidade da regra dos 7 milímetros foi verificada. Métodos Indivíduos com instabilidade glenoumeral anterior com ou sem erosão óssea participaram deste estudo. As dimensões de 31 enxertos de processo coracoide de pacientes operados pela técnica de Latarjet foram mensuradas com um paquímetro analógico e registradas para análise posterior. Resultados As dimensões do processo coracoide não demonstraram diferença estatisticamente significativa de acordo com o sexo. A largura do enxerto obtida em nossa amostra apresentou semelhança com as dimensões descritas na literatura. No entanto, o comprimento e a espessura foram um pouco menores quando comparados com o estudo de referência (Young et al, 2013).15 A regra dos 7 milímetros foi considerada viável com as dimensões do enxerto obtidas em nossa amostra. Conclusão As dimensões do enxerto do coracoide foram similares às descritas na literatura em relação à largura, mas o mesmo não foi encontrado quanto ao comprimento e espessura; e a regra dos 7 milímetros demonstrou viabilidade com as dimensões do enxerto obtidas em nossa amostra.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the in situ repair technique of high-degree partial-thickness articular surface lesions of the supraspinatus tendon (SS). The procedure consists of the arthroscopic surgical repair of these lesions, without the need to complete the lesion, as occurs in traditional classical technique. A small incision is made in the longitudinal direction of the intact bursal fibers and where bone fixation anchors are introduced, which makes the procedure easier. These anchors are transferred to the tendon and thus enable the repair of the lesion. METHODS: 48 shoulders were operated in the period 2010-2015. The minimum follow-up was 12 months and maximum 60 months. Ages ranged from 38 years to 75 years (mean 54 years). They were indicated for the repair of high-degree symptomatic lesions and at least 30% intact superior bursal fibers of good quality. RESULTS: Patients were evaluated according to the UCLA criteria, the results were: 69% excellent, 17% good, 7% fair, and 7% poor. Fair results occurred in three patients with associated symptoms of polyarthralgia who remained with residual pain. Three patients developed postoperative joint stiffness (7%). CONCLUSION: The procedure under study is safe and easy to reproduce. It shows high rates of positive results (86%). The opening made in the bursal side of the SS tendon allowed the arthroscope to remain in the subacromial space, making it easier to perform surgery.
RESUMO OBJETIVO: Demonstrar a técnica de reparo in situ das lesões de espessura parcial da superfície articular de alto grau do tendão do supraespinal (SE). O procedimento consiste no reparo cirúrgico dessas lesões por via artroscópica, sem a necessidade de completar a lesão, como ocorre na técnica clássica tradicional. É feita uma pequena incisão longitudinal no sentido das fibras intactas bursais, por onde são introduzidas as âncoras de fixação óssea, o que torna mais fácil o procedimento. Essas âncoras são transferidas para o tendão e assim se faz o reparo da lesão. MÉTODOS: Foram operados 48 ombros de 2010 a 2015. O seguimento mínimo foi de 12 meses e o máximo de 60. A idade variou de 38 anos a 75 (média de 54). Foram indicadas para o reparo as lesões sintomáticas de alto grau que apresentassem pelo menos 30% da fibras superiores bursais intactas e de boa qualidade. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes foram avaliados segundo os critérios da Universidade da Califórnia em Los Angeles (UCLA), obtiveram-se resultados excelentes em 69%, bons em 17%, razoáveis em 7% e ruins em 7%. Os resultados razoáveis ocorreram em três pacientes que apresentavam sintomas associados de poliartralgia e permaneceram com dor residual. Três pacientes desenvolveram rigidez articular no pós-operatório (7%). CONCLUSÃO: O procedimento em estudo é seguro e de fácil reprodutibilidade e apresenta altos índices de resultados positivos (86%). A abertura feita no lado bursal do tendão do SE permitiu a manutenção do artroscópio no espaço subacromial e tornou mais fácil a cirurgia.

Objetivo: Fornecer dados para a análise da artroscopia como método de tratamento de ombro e discutir suas reais indicações e resultados preliminares. Métodos: Foram avaliados 15 indivíduos submetidos à cirurgia artroscópica reversa de Bankart. Utilizamos o escore UCLA(University of California at Los Angeles) para mensurar os resultados, antes da cirurgia e após 12 meses. Resultados: A média do escore UCLA mudou de 26,67±0,25 (DP 0,97) antes da cirurgia para 34,20±0,53 (DP2,04), após a cirurgia. A efetividade da cirurgia foi de 93%, sendo que um paciente não obteve melhora com a cirurgia. Em cinco casos foram encontrados corpos livres. Um paciente submetido à remplissage foi avaliado separadamente. Os dados não mudaram depois de 24 meses pós-cirurgia. Conclusão: O tratamento artroscópico da instabilida de posterior do ombro e da luxação posterior do ombro mostrou-se factível e os resultados de nossa série seguiram as mesmas tendências da literatura. Nível de Evidência III: Estudo Retrospectivo Transversal.
Objective: To provide data for the analysis of arthroscopy as a method of surgical treatment for shoulder and discuss its actual indications and preliminary results. Methods: We evaluated 15 patients submitted to reverse Bankart arthroscopic surgery. We used theUCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) score to measure the results before surgery and 12 months thereafter. Results: The average UCLA score changed from 26,67±0,25 (SD 0,97) before surgery to 34,20±0,53 (SD 2,04) after surgery. The effectiveness of surgery was 93%. In five cases loose bodies were found. A patient undergoing remplissage was evaluated separately. The data did not change after 24 months post-surgery. Conclusion: The arthroscopic treatment of posterior shoulder instability and posterior dislocation of the shoulder has been proved feasible and results in our seriesfollowed the same trends as in the literature. Level of Evidence III,Transversal Retrospective Study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and the usefulness of MRI in patients with shoulder injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sensitivity and the accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of various lesion were evaluated in 20 patients with shoulder injuries. RESULTS: MRI enabled Bankart lesions and SLAP lesions to be accurately predicted with 100% sensitivity and 90% accuracy in both. However, for types of SLAP lesions, the sensitivity and the accuracy were 60% and 70%, respectively, and for full-thickness or partial-thickness tear of rotator cuff, the sensitivity and the accuracy were 75% in both. MRI was also effective at predicting rotator cuff tear with 100% sensitivity and 95% accuracy. Sensitivity and accuracy for the diagnosis of Hill-Sachs lesion were 91.7% and 90%, respectively. For all lesions except Hill-Sachs lesion, the negative prediction value was higher than the positive prediction value, which means MRI overestimated the lesions. CONCLUSION: MRI was accurate and useful in the prediction of prediction of rotator cuff tear, labral tear and Hill-Sachs lesions. However, for the identification of full-thickness or partial-thickness tear of rotator cuff, and types of SLAP lesions, it was less accurate and less useful.
