ABSTRACT

Abstract Acute distal biceps injuries clinically present with sudden pain and acute loss of flexion and supination strength. The main injury mechanism occurs during the eccentric load of the biceps. The hook test is the most significant examination test, presenting the highest sensibility and specificity for this lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging, the gold standard imaging test, can provide information regarding integrity and identify partial and/or complete tears. The surgical treatment uses an anterior or double approach and several reattachment techniques. Although there is no clinical evidence to recommend one fixation method over the other, biomechanical studies show that the cortical button resists better to failure. Although surgical treatment led to an 89% rate of return to work in 14 weeks, the recovery of high sports performance occurred in 1 year, with unsustainable outcomes.


Resumo As lesões agudas do tendão distal do bíceps se apresentam, clinicamente, com uma dor súbita associada a perda aguda de força de flexão e supinação. Seu principal mecanismo de lesão ocorre durante contração excêntrica do bíceps. O "Hook Test" é o principal teste semiológico, sendo o mais sensível e específico. A ressonância magnética, exame padrão ouro para o diagnóstico, pode fornecer informações sobre a integridade, identificando as lesões parciais e/ou completas. O tratamento cirúrgico pode ser realizado por duas vias principais: anterior e por dupla via porém as técnicas de reinserção tendínea são diversas não havendo evidência clínica que recomende um método de fixação em detrimento ao outro; embora o botão cortical apresente maior resistência a falha nos estudos biomecânicos. Com o tratamento cirúrgico o retorno as atividades laborais foi de 89% em 14 semanas (média) porém ao esporte de alto rendimento o prazo foi longo, média de 1 ano, e não duradouro.

ABSTRACT

Calcific tendinitis is a pathology characterized by the deposits of periarticular hydroxyapatite. Its pathophysiology is not completely known. It is clinically characterized by important inflammatory changes with incapacitating pain. It most commonly affects the shoulder joint and it rarely affects the hand and wrist. Given the unusual nature of this localization, we present the clinical case of a woman who developed calcific tendinitis of the third metacarpophalangeal muscle. We present the clinical evolution of the case, the treatments carried out, and a review of the literature related to this unusual localization of calcific tendinitis.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: Histologically evaluate the effects of low frequency electrical stimulation in the treatment of Achilles tendon injuries in rats. Methods: Thirty-four rats underwent Achilles tendon tenotomy and tenorrhaphy. They were randomly allocated in two groups. Half of the sample constituted the experiment group, whose lesions were stimulated with 2 Hz, nonpolarized current and 1 mA, for 14 days. The other animals formed the control group. They were evaluated at 2, 4 and 6 weeks. The histological study was carried out, the collagen density and the wound maturity index were measured. Results: The healing score was higher in the group stimulated at the 6th week (p = 0.018). The density collagen 1 was higher in the group treated at the three times (p = 0.004) and that collagen 3 was higher in the group treated at 6 weeks (p = 0.004). Together, collagen 1 and 3 were higher in the group stimulated at 4 and 6 weeks (p = 0.009, p = 0.004). The maturity index was higher in this group at the three moments (p = 0.017 p = 0.004 and p = 0.009). Conclusion: Low frequency electric stimulation improved healing and increased the quantity of collagen.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: Las roturas bilaterales de tendones cuadricipitales son enfermedades de muy baja frecuencia. Las reparaciones quirúrgicas suelen ser los tratamientos más adecuados y exigen tiempos de recuperación de varios meses. Métodos: Presentamos el caso de un paciente con rotura bilateral de tendones cuadricipitales tras un traumatismo de baja energía, que fue tratado mediante sutura transpatelar quirúrgica reforzada con plasma rico en factores de crecimiento (PRGF-Endoret). Resultados: Los resultados a corto plazo evidenciaron una recuperación funcional y mediante imagen en poco más de dos meses. Conclusiones: La utilización de PRGF asociado a la cirugía habitual puede ayudar a la realización de una rehabilitación precoz.


Background: Bilateral quadriceps tendon tears are infrequent conditions. Surgical repairs are the most appropriate treatments and they involve several months of recovery. Methods: We report the case of a patient with bilateral quadriceps tendon tear resulting from low energy trauma. He was treated with surgical transpatellar suturing reinforced with plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF-Endoret). Results: Short-term results showed functional and radiological recovery at the two-months follow-up. The use of PRGF together with usual surgery may contribute to early rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT

Las lesiones de los tendones plantean siempre grandes problemas clínicos y terapéuticos, por su importancia funcional y su peculiar cicatrización. El apoyo fisiátrico, específicamente el tratamiento con ultrasonido, ha demostrado ser eficiente en la regeneración del tendón calcáneo. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar morfológicamente los efectos del uso de ultrasonido continuo en la regeneración post quirúrgica del tendón calcáneo de rata. Se utilizaron 15 ratas albinas, Sprager Dawle. Luego de 48 horas post tenorrafia se comenzó con una sesión diaria de ultrasonido terapéutico con una intensidad de 1W/cm², frecuencia de 3 MHZ, cabezal de 0,5 cm de ERA, por 30 segundos durante 10 días. Las ratas fueron sacrificadas 48 horas después de terminar las aplicaciones de ultrasonido para la extracción y disección del tendón calcáneo del miembro posterior derecho, mientras que el tendón del miembro posterior izquierdo sirvió de control normal. Para fines de comparación morfológica se trabajó con un grupo de ratas control del tratamiento, en el que se provocó la lesión sin aplicar ultrasonido. Las muestras fueron fijadas en formalina tamponada y teñidas con H.E. Los tendones del grupo experimental se encontraron en un estado de regeneración avanzada, cuyos fibroblastos presentaron características morfológicas propias de una célula activa en la síntesis y secreción de matriz extracelular, con un promedio de fibroblastos similar al obtenido en el tendón normal. A su vez, el tendón del grupo sin tratamiento presentó un estado de regeneración tardío. Las fibras colágenas estaban invadidas por tejido conjuntivo y vasos sanguíneos, con un promedio de fibroblastos que triplica al promedio encontrado en el control normal, lo que determinó que el tendón sin aplicación de ultrasonido se encontrara aún en proceso inflamatorio. Este estudio confirma que el uso de ultrasonido continuo genera una rápida proliferación celular en el tendón lesionado de rata, y en consecuencia, a...


Tendon injuries always account for major clinical and therapeutic problems, due to their functional significance and unique healing. Physiatrics support, specifically ultrasound treatment, has been shown to be effective in the regeneration of the calcaneal tendon.The objective of this study was to morphologically analyze the effect of the use of continuous ultrasound in the post surgery regeneration of the calcaneal tendon of the rat. Ten albino, Sprager Dawley rats were used. Following 48 hours of post tenorrhaphy, a daily session of therapeutic ultrasound was initiated, with an intensity of 1W/cm², frequency of 3 MHZ, header at 0.5 cm ERA, per 30 seconds for 10 days. The rats were sacrificed 48 hours after completion of the ultrasound treatments, for the extraction and dissection of the calcaneal tendon of the right posterior member, while the left posterior member was used for normal control. For purposes of morphological comparison a group of control rats for the treatment was used, in which the injury was caused without applying the ultrasound. Samples were fixed in buffered formalin and stained with H.E. The tendons of the experimental group were found to be in an advanced stage of regeneration which fibroblasts presented morphological characteristics of an active cell in the synthesis and secretion of the extracellular matrix, with an average of fibroblasts similar to that obtained in the normal tendon. At the same time, the tendon of the control group in the treatment, presented a later regeneration stage. The collagen fibers were infiltrated by conjunctive tissue and blood vessels, with an average of fibroblasts that tripled the average found in the normal control, which determined that the tendon without the ultrasound treatment was still in an inflammatory process. This study confirms that the use of continuous ultrasound generated a rapid cellular proliferation in the injured tendon of the rat, and consequently accelerates its regeneration.

ABSTRACT

La proloterapia es una técnica basada en la infiltración reiterada de sustancias irritantes en tendones y ligamentos deteriorados con el objetivo de desencadenar una respuesta inflamatoria que llevaría al fortalecimiento y regeneración de estas estructuras, reduciendo el dolor y recuperando su funcionalidad. A partir de la consulta de una paciente con antecedentes de omalgia crónica sin respuesta satisfactoria a los tratamientos habituales, un médico de familia se plantea la posibilidad de realizar proloterapia como opción terapéutica. Se plantea entonces una pregunta sobre su efectividad y se realiza una búsqueda bibliográfica para encontrar la mejor evidencia disponible. Se describen cuatro publicaciones sobre el tratamiento de síndromes asociados a disfunción tendinosa. Si bien la evidencia encontrada es débil y no esta relacionada con la región afectada en la paciente en cuestión, esta representa la mejor evidencia disponible para la toma de decisiones, sumada al buen juicio clínico, y a los valores de la paciente.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Estudo experimental idealizado para investigar as propriedades mecânicas de tendões flexores profundos de coelhos submetidos à tenotomia seguida de tenorrafia e aplicação precoce de ultra-som terapêutico com diferentes intensidades, em comparação com tendões submetidos somente à tenorrafia. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Quarenta e quatro coelhos foram divididos em quatro grupos experimentais de acordo com a aplicação do ultra-som. Todos foram submetidos a uma secção do tendão flexor profundo na zona 2 e imobilizados com uma órtese mantida durante todo o experimento. O grupo A recebeu tratamento ultra-sônico com uma intensidade de 1,4 W/cm², o grupo B com 0,6 W/cm², ambos no modo contínuo, o grupo C com 0,6 W/cm² SATA, no modo pulsado à 50 por cento e o grupo D não recebeu tratamento ultra-sônico algum. A frequência ultra-sônica empregada foi de 1 MHz. Após a eutanásia os tendões foram dissecados e submetidos ao ensaio mecânico de tração e análise histológica qualitativa. As propriedades mecânicas avaliadas foram: força máxima, deformação na força máxima e rigidez. RESULTADO: Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos experimentais. CONCLUSÃO: O ultra-som terapêutico não melhorou as propriedades mecânicas dos tendões flexores após reparo.


OBJECTIVE: Experimental study idealized to investigate the mechanical properties of deep flexor tendons of rabbits that underwent the tenotomy followed by tenorrhaphy and early application of therapeutic ultrasound with different intensities, in comparison to tendons submitted to tenorrhaphy only. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Forty-four rabbits were divided into four experimental groups according to the ultrasound application. They were all submitted to a section of deep flexor tendon in zone 2 and immobilized with an orthosis maintained throughout the experiment. Group A received ultrasonic treatment with an intensity of 1.4 W/cm², group B with 0.6 W/cm², both in continuous mode, group C with 0.6 W/cm² SATA, in pulsated mode at 50 percent and group D did not receive any ultrasonic treatment. The ultrasonic frequency employed was 1 MHz. After euthanasia, the tendons were dissected and submitted to the mechanical test of traction and qualitative histological analysis. The evaluated mechanical properties were: maximum force, deformation in maximum force and stiffness. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences among the experimental groups. CONCLUSION: Therapeutic ultrasound did not improve the mechanical properties of the flexor tendons after repair.

ABSTRACT

O plasma rico em plaquetas e o concentrado de plaquetas são fontes de diversos fatores de crescimento, com grande potencial terapêutico. Uma vez liberados dos grânulos alfa das plaquetas ativadas, esses fatores atuarão no sítio da lesão, estimulando a quimiotaxia, fibroplasia e angiogênese, melhorando assim a reparação tecidual. Embora esses componentes ricos em plaquetas sejam de fácil obtenção e de eficácia comprovada na medicina humana e odontologia, a utilização desses componentes na medicina veterinária é relativamente recente, necessitando ainda de estudos controlados. Neste artigo, os aspectos morfológicos das plaquetas, a ação dos fatores de crescimento e a utilização de componentes ricos em plaquetas na reparação tecidual de estruturas tendo-ligamentosas e osteo-articulares são revisados.


Platelet-rich plasma and platelet concentrates are involved in growing factors. Both have great therapeutic potential. When the alpha-granules are released by the active platelet, they act in the lesion site stimulating the chemotaxis, the fiberplasia and the angiogenesis. They improve the regeneration of the tissue. Although these rich platelet components are easy to obtain and efficiently to prove by medicine and dentistry, their use on vet medicine is recent. So, much more control studies need to be done. This article reviews morphological aspects of platelets, action of growing factors and use of components rich in platelet in wound healing tendons, ligaments and osteo-articular structures.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of therapeutic ultrasound on the healing of tendon injuries in malnourished rats. METHODS: After the intended nutritional states had been attained, the animals (N=36) were distributed into three groups, named: G1(N=12), control group; G2(N=12), malnourished rats treated with 3 MHz ultrasound at an intensity of 0.5 W/cm²; and G3 (N=12), normal animals treated with 3 MHz at 0.5 W/cm². The injuries were induced by means of an operation to expose the heel tendon and crush it using Allis forceps. RESULTS: The data obtained relating to leukocyte counts, fibroblasts, vessel neoformation, fibrosis and collagen were subjected to statistical treatment using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student's t test. Results of p < 0.05 were obtained for fibrosis and collagen. CONCLUSION: The ultrasound was shown to be effective in repairing the tendon, even in malnourished animals whose healing process was retarded.


OBJETIVO: Investigar os efeitos do ultrassom terapêutico na cicatrização de lesões tendíneas em ratos desnutridos. MÉTODOS: Após ser constatado o estado nutricional proposto, os animais (N=36) foram distribuídos em três grupos, denominados: G1(N=12) grupo controle, G2(N=12) desnutrido tratado com ultra-som 3 MHz a 0,5 w/cm² de intensidade e G3(N=12) animais normais tratados com 3 MHz a 0,5 w/cm². As lesões foram induzidas através de procedimento operatório para exposição e esmagamento com pinça Allis, do tendão calcâneo. RESULTADOS: Os dados obtidos em relação à quantidade de leucócitos, fibroblastos, neoformações de vasos, fibrose e colágeno foram submetidos ao tratamento estatístico pela análise de variância (ANOVA) e teste "t" obtendo-se p < 0,05 para fibrose e colágeno. CONCLUSÃO: O ultra-som mostrou-se eficaz no reparo tendíneo, mesmo nos animais desnutridos e com processo de cicatrização retardado.

ABSTRACT

Con la finalidad de lograr una evaluación más integral del paciente con lesiones tendinosas de la mano, con este estudio se planteó como objetivo, determinar el nivel de discapacidad y minusvalía de los mismos al final del tratamiento rehabilitador. Estudiándose un grupo de 11 pacientes, a quienes se les realizó una evaluación antes y después del tratamiento, estableciendo el grado y nivel de discapacidad y minusvalía presentes al ingreso y egreso. Se determinó así, que todos los pacientes presentaban al ingreso algún grado y nivel de discapacidad y minusvalía, encontrándose la mayoría en el nivel más severo de la clasificación diseñada para el estudio (Nivel III); pudiendo observarse al final del tratamiento, que ningún paciente pertenecía a este nivel, independientemente del tendón y de la zona lesionada. Se observó además, que a mayor tiempo transcurrido desde que se produjo la lesión, hasta el ingreso de rehabilitación, la tendencia a la recuperación total de los pacientes fue menor. A pesar de que la mano más lesionada resultó ser la derecha (dominante), los pacientes con mayor discapacidad y minusvalía al egreso, tenían en su mayoría lesión de la mano izquierda. Se recomienda entonces, una referencia más temprana de los pacientes con este tipo de lesiones a los Servicios de Rehabilitación para el inicio precoz del tratamiento rehabilitador. Además de un mayor conocimiento y utilización de la Clasificación Internacional de Deficiencias, Discapacidades y Minusvalías por el equipo de rehabilitación, para lograr así, una evaluación más integral de los pacientes al final del tratamiento.

ABSTRACT

Tendons and ligaments are much prone to different types of injuries and hence pose serious orthopaedic problems in man and all species of animals. Regardless of age, or level of activity, every human being or animal is in some danger of tendinous or ligamentous injury even during its daily routine activity. However, the incidence of tendon injury is higher in certain sections of the human population such as athletes and similarly in certain species of animals like race horses. The treatment of these ailments advocated so far is mainly aimed to restore the functional and structural integrity of the damaged tissue in the shortest possible time. The different therapies tried so far have not proved ideal. The basic knowledge on the morphological, biochemical and biomechanical aspects of normal, load bearing tissues are not adequately available and thus a large gap still exists in our present knowledge of normal tendons structure and their functions. This article is therefore, aimed to present the information on tendon and ligament's morphology by light and electron microscopy, biochemical constitute, arid biomechanical properties of normal tendon, to provide a base line to study the repair mechanisms of injured tendons and ligaments
