RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Determinar se há discrepância na força de flexão do cotovelo entre pacientes com (CD) e sem a deformidade clínica (SD) evidente resultante da tenotomia artroscópica da cabeça longa do bíceps (TACLB).

MÉTODOS:

Foi analisado um grupo de 120 pacientes submetidos à TACLB, que após os critérios de exclusão, resultaram em 89. Foi avaliada, com uma mediana de 18 meses de pós-operatório, a força de flexão do cotovelo em Newton (N) por meio de um dinamômetro digital. Foram realizadas três medidas consecutivas e considerada a média comparando o lado dominante com o não dominante. Foram estudados sexo, idade, média da força de flexão do cotovelo no MS operado e do MS contralateral de pacientes com e sem a deformidade clínica aparente.

RESULTADOS:

Foi comparada a força de flexão do cotovelo no grupo CD e verificada uma mediana 17,78N para o membro superior dominante e uma mediana 20,87N para o membro superior não dominante. A diferença foi de 2,51N. No grupo SD a diferença foi de 2,14N. Foi verificada uma mediana de força muscular dos MS operados de 17,26N, enquanto os MS não operados tiveram uma mediana de 20,06N sugerindo perda de força muscular significativa (p = 0,005). A diferença entre a perda de força muscular entre os pacientes com e sem deformidade evidente não foi considerada estatisticamente significativa (p = 0,977).

CONCLUSÃO:

Os pacientes submetidos à TACLB com ou sem deformidade clínica aparente de sua migração distal apresentam força muscular de flexão do cotovelo semelhantes.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To determine whether there was any discrepancy in elbow flexion strength among patients with and without evident clinical deformity resulting from arthroscopic tenotomy on the long head of the biceps.

METHOD:

A group of 120 patients who underwent this procedure were evaluated. After applying the exclusion criteria, 89 patients remained in the analysis. Eighteen months after the operation (median), the elbow flexion strength was measured in newtons using a digital dynamometer. Three consecutive measurements were made and the average was used. The dominant and non-dominant sides were compared. Sex, age and mean elbow flexion strength in the operated and contralateral arms of patients with and without apparent clinical deformity were evaluated.

RESULTS:

The median elbow flexion strength among the patients with evident clinical deformity was 17.78 N for the dominant arm and 20.87 N for the non-dominant arm. The difference was 2.51 N. In the group without evident clinical deformity, the difference was 2.14 N. The median muscle strength in the operated arm was 17.26 N, while the median was 20.06 N in the non-operated arm, thus suggesting that there was a significant loss of muscle strength (p = 0.005). The difference in muscle strength loss between the patients with and without evident deformity was not considered statistically significant (p = 0.977).

CONCLUSION:

The patients who underwent arthroscopic tenotomy on the long head of the biceps with or without apparent clinical deformity from distal migration presented similar elbow flexion muscle strength.
