ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of reconstructive procedures applied in upper limb soft tissue injuries according to their location. Methods: The study involved 94 male and 22 female patients (116 total) operated between April 2001 and November 2017 due to traumatic injuries in a upper limb. Individuals were evaluated considering their age, sex, etiology, reconstruction area , applied methodology and complications. The finger injuries were excluded. Results: The performed reconstruction procedures include 29 skin grafts; six advancement flaps; seven rotation flaps; 33 pedicled fasciocutaneous flaps, 9 free fasciocutaneous flaps; 5 pedicled muscle flaps; 12 free muscle flaps, three pedicled musculocutaneous flaps; one free musculocutaneous flap; 11 neurovascular free flaps. Conclusion: Reconstructive procedures in the upper limbs are diverse, varying from skin grafting to free flaps. The indication of the best option depends on the type of injurie and the surgeon. The final goal is to reach the best functional result combined with the lowest possible morbidity. Level of Evidence IV, Case series.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT This is a case report of a previously healthy athlete who did not use oral anticoagulant, suffered a rupture of the distal biceps brachii tendon, and evolved with arm compartment syndrome. An emergency fasciotomy and the repair of the tendon were performed. After surgery the patient had a good recovery of the paresthesia and sensibility. This complication is rare and, when reported, is usually associated with patients who use anticoagulant therapy. Due to growth of rupture of distal biceps tendon cases, physicians should be aware that this complication must be treated as an emergency.


RESUMO Relato de caso de paciente atleta, previamente hígido e que não utilizava anticoagulantes orais, com lesão do tendão distal do músculo bíceps braquial, que evoluiu com síndrome compartimental do braço. Realizaram-se fasciotomia de emergência e reparo cirúrgico do tendão, apresentando bom seguimento com recuperação da parestesia e sensibilidade. Essa complicação é bastante rara e, quando relatada, geralmente é associada a pacientes em uso de medicamentos anticoagulantes orais. Contudo, com o aumento da incidência de rupturas do tendão do músculo bíceps braquial, é preciso estar atento à tal complicação que deve ser conduzida como emergência.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Hand injuries caused by chain saws, electric saws, and hand grinders range from simple lacerations to tendon injuries, fractures, and even amputations. This study aimed to understand the distribution of various types of hand and upper extremity injuries caused by power tools, in order to help prevent them, by investigating the incidence and cause of power tool injuries treated over a 4-year period at a single institution in Korea. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of patients who visited a single institution for power tool-induced injuries from 2011 to 2014. The distribution of sex, age, injured body part, type of injury, and mechanism of injury sustained by patients who received hand and upper extremity injuries from using an engine saw, electric saw, or hand grinder was evaluated. RESULTS: Among 594 subjects who were injured by power tools, 261 cases were hand and upper extremity injuries. The average age was 53.2 years. Tendon injury was the most common type of injury. An electric saw was the most common type of power tool used. More injuries occurred in non-occupational settings than in occupational settings. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, power tool-induced hand and upper extremity injuries were mostly caused by direct contact with electric saw blades. More injuries occurred due to non-occupational use of these tools, but the ratios of amputations and structural injuries were similar in the non-occupational and occupational groups.

ABSTRACT

The most frequent anatomic variations of the musculocutaneous nerve could be divided in two main groups: communicating branches with the median nerve and variations in relation to the origin, which in turn can be subdivided into absence of the nerve and non-perforation of the coracobrachialis muscle. Unusual clinical symptoms and/or unusual physical examination in patients with motor disorders, could be explained by anatomic variations of the musculocutaneous nerve. A total of 106 arms were evaluated, corresponding to 53 fresh male cadavers who were undergoing necropsy. The presence or absence of the musculocutaneous nerve was evaluated and whether it pierced the coracobrachialis muscle or not. The lengths of the motor branches and the distances from its origins to the coracoid process were measured. In 10 cases (9.5 %) an unusual origin pattern was observed, of which six (5.7 %) correspond to non-perforation of the coracobrachialis muscle and four (3.8 %) correspond to absence of the nerve. The length of the branch for the brachialis muscle was 37.7±15.4 mm and for the short and long heads of the biceps 27.6±11.7 mm and 33.2±10.1 mm respectively. The study showed that our population has similar prevalence of absence of the musculocutaneous nerve and non-perforation of the coracobrachialis muscle compared to previous reports in different populations. Moreover, there was no statistical correlation between the sides and the evaluated variables.


Las variaciones anatómicas más frecuentes del nervio musculocutáneo se pueden dividir en dos grupos principales: Ramas comunicantes con el nervio mediano y variaciones en relación al origen, que a su vez se pueden subdividir en la ausencia del nervio y la no perforación del músculo coracobraquial. Los síntomas clínicos inusuales y / o el examen físico inusual en pacientes con trastornos motores podrían explicarse por variaciones anatómicas del nervio musculocutáneo. Se evaluaron un total de 106 brazos, que corresponden a 53 cadáveres de machos frescos sometidos a necropsia. Se evaluó la presencia o ausencia del nervio musculocutáneo y si atravesó o no el músculo coracobraquial. Se midieron las longitudes de las ramas motoras y las distancias desde sus orígenes hasta el proceso coracoides. En 10 casos (9,5 %) se observó un patrón de origen inusual, de los cuales seis (5,7 %) corresponden a la no perforación del músculo coracobraquial y cuatro (3,8 %) corresponden a la ausencia del nervio. La longitud de la rama para el músculo braquial fue de 37,7 ± 15,4 mm y para las cabezas cortas y largas del bíceps 27,6 ± 11,7 mm y 33,2 ± 10,1 mm, respectivamente. El estudio mostró que nuestra población tiene una prevalencia similar de ausencia del nervio musculocutáneo y la no perforación del músculo coracobraquial comparado con informes previos en diferentes poblaciones. Además, no hubo una correlación estadística entre los lados y las variables evaluadas.

ABSTRACT

A incidência de lesões traumáticas dos membros superiores em um hospital terciário além de ser elevada, possui uma grande variedade. Neste sentido torna-se importante a criação de um banco de dados único, para conhecer o perfil dos pacientes atendidos. Objetivo: traçar o perfil dos pacientes com lesões traumáticas dos membros superiores, atendidos pela Fisioterapia no Centro de Reabilitação do Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão. Método: foram avaliadas 223 fichas de pacientes (58 mulheres e 116 homens), com idade média de 34,54 (± 19,05) anos, encaminhados pelo ambulatório de ortopedia do referido hospital. Resultados: do total de casos analisados, as lesões de punho e mão obtiveram maior incidência (60,99%), seguidos por lesões de ombro (20,63%), cotovelo (12,55%), braço (3,59%) e antebraço (2,24%). Nas lesões de punho e mão o mecanismo de trauma com maior porcentagem foi o acidente de moto, relacionado com as fraturas múltiplas de ossos da mão. Queda da própria altura, acidente motociclístico e queda de escada foram os mecanismos de trauma, correlacionando com as fraturas de úmero proximal, luxação de ombro e fraturas de escápula respectivamente. Conclusão: Foi verificada a incidência de lesão, mecanismo de trauma e as características da população para futuramente aprimorar os protocolos específicos para as disfunções e investir em campanhas de prevenção.


The incidence of traumatic injuries of the upper limbs in a tertiary hospital has a wide variety. This is why the creation of a unified database becomes important-to know the patients’ profile. Objective: this study sought to determine the profile of patients with traumatic injuries of the upper limbs, treated by Physical Therapy in Rehabilitation Center of the Clinics Hospital of Ribeirão Preto. Method: Two hundred and twenty-three patient records were evaluated (58 women and 116 men). They had an average age of 34.54 (± 19.05) years and were referred by the orthopedic clinic of this hospital. Results: of the cases studied, wrist and hand injuries had the highest incidence (60.99%), followed by injuries of the shoulder (20.63%), elbow (12.55%), arm (3.59%) and forearm (2.24%). In injuries of wrist and hand, the trauma mechanism with the highest percentage was the motorcycle accident, associated with multiple handbone fractures. Falling down, motorcycle accidents, and falling off a ladder were the mechanisms of injury correlated with proximal humerus fractures, shoulder dislocations, and broken scapulas, respectively. Conclusion: the incidence of injury, trauma mechanism, and characteristics of the population was verified and further improvements in protocols for specific disorders and prevention can be made.

ABSTRACT

As lesões de nervo periférico no membro superior sãocomuns e podem ocasionar graves déficits funcionais comrepercussões socioeconômicas. Os estudos epidemiológicos sãoimportantes para a compreensão dos mecanismos e padrões delesões de nervo. Objetivo: Descrever as lesões traumáticas tardiasde nervo periférico no membro superior. Método: Estudoretrospectivo de 538 pacientes apresentando traumatismos nomembro superior, atendidos no Hospital Sarah Brasília, noperíodo de janeiro de 2001 a dezembro de 2006. Do total depacientes, 144 apresentavam lesões de nervo periférico nomembro superior, prevalência de 27%. Desses, 70 pacientes, com89 lesões de nervos submeteram-se ao reparo neural e/ouepineurólise e um à transferência tendínea. Resultados: A maioriadas lesões aconteceu em pacientes do sexo masculino, comidade variando de 7 a 69 anos; atingiram o nervo radial em 18(25%), mediano em 16 (22%), nervo ulnar em 14 (19,4%), medianoe ulnar em 12 (16,7%), mediano, ulnar e radial em cinco (7%) edigital em sete (9,7%). A maioria dos casos foi provocada porobjetos cortantes, 49 (68%). Em 27 casos, foi decorrente deacidente de trabalho, seis por acidentes motociclísticos ouautomobilísticos e 16 devido a agressão física. Conclusão:Encontrou-se uma alta prevalência de traumatismos de nervo nomembro superior atendidos tardiamente. Na metade dos casoshaviam lesões associadas e necessitavam intervenção cirúrgicapara o reparo neural e programa de reabilitação.


Injuries of the upper limbs peripheric nerves arequite common and may lead to serious functional limitationswith socio-economical impact. The epidemiology studies areimportant for comprehensive the mechanisms and pattern ofupper limb nerve injuries. Objective: To describe traumatic lateinjuries of the peripheric nerve of upper limbs. Methods:Retrospective study of 538 patients, admitted at Sarah Hospitalfrom January 2001 to December 2006 (144 patients withupper limb nerve injury). Only 70, with 89 traumatic nerveinjuries, required study for nerve repair and only one requiretendon transfer. Results: Most of injuries occured in malepatients, with age from 7 to 69 years. We observed frequenciesof nerve injuries are radial 18 (25%),median 16 (22%),ulnar nerver14 (19.4%), median and ulnar 12 (16.7%), median, ulnar and radial5 (7%) and digital in seven (9.7%). The majority of the cases weredue to cutting object (49 cases/68%). In 27 other cases tolabor accidents, 6 by motorcicle or car accidentes and 16 byphysical struggle. Conclusion: We found a high rate of latetreatment of upper limb nerve injuries. Aproximadetly half ofthe cases other injuries were associated and need surgicalintervention for neural repair and rehabilitation program.
