RESULTS FROM LATARJET SURGERY FOR TREATING TRAUMATIC ANTERIOR SHOULDER INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH BONE EROSION IN THE GLENOID CAVITY, AFTER MINIMUM FOLLOW-UP OF ONE YEAR

ABSTRACTObjective: Evaluate the results from the Latarjet procedure in patients with anterior recurrent dislocation of the shoulder who present bone loss of the glenoid cavity greater than 25%. Methods: Twenty six male patients underwent the Latarjet procedure, The bone loss was evaluated by means of radiography using the Bernageau view and by means of CAT scan. The patients were evaluated with regard to range of motion, using the Rowe and UCLA scales, before and after the operation, and by radiographs to assess the presence of arthrosis, position and consolidation of the graft and positioning of the screws. Statistical analysis was used to assess whether there was any relationship between the number of episodes of dislocation and the presence of arthrosis, , and any relationship between arthrosis and limitations on lateral rotation. Differences in range of motion between the operated and unaffected sides and in the UCLA and Rowe scale. Results: The means for elevation and lateral rotation were statistically poorer on the operated side. The UCLA and Rowe scale showed that there was a statistically significant improvement in the clinical-functional results (P < 0.001 for both). There was a relationship between the number of episodes of dislocation and the presence of arthrosis, We also did not observe any correlation between limitations on lateral rotation and arthrosis. Conclusion: The Latarjet procedure is an efficient method for cases of severe erosion of the glenoid margin

Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

BACKGROUND Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mortality rates and life expectancy allow comparisons of the consequences of causes of death globally and over time, providing a nuanced understanding of the effect of these causes on global populations. METHODS The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 cause-of-death analysis estimated mortality and years of life lost (YLLs) from 288 causes of death by age-sex-location-year in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations for each year from 1990 until 2021. The analysis used 56 604 data sources, including data from vital registration and verbal autopsy as well as surveys, censuses, surveillance systems, and cancer registries, among others. As with previous GBD rounds, cause-specific death rates for most causes were estimated using the Cause of Death Ensemble model-a modelling tool developed for GBD to assess the out-of-sample predictive validity of different statistical models and covariate permutations and combine those results to produce cause-specific mortality estimates-with alternative strategies adapted to model causes with insufficient data, substantial changes in reporting over the study period, or unusual epidemiology. YLLs were computed as the product of the number of deaths for each cause-age-sex-location-year and the standard life expectancy at each age. As part of the modelling process, uncertainty intervals (UIs) were generated using the 2·5th and 97·5th percentiles from a 1000-draw distribution for each metric. We decomposed life expectancy by cause of death, location, and year to show cause-specific effects on life expectancy from 1990 to 2021. We also used the coefficient of variation and the fraction of population affected by 90% of deaths to highlight concentrations of mortality. Findings are reported in counts and age-standardised rates. Methodological improvements for cause-of-death estimates in GBD 2021 include the expansion of under-5-years age group to include four new age groups, enhanced methods to account for stochastic variation of sparse data, and the inclusion of COVID-19 and other pandemic-related mortality-which includes excess mortality associated with the pandemic, excluding COVID-19, lower respiratory infections, measles, malaria, and pertussis. For this analysis, 199 new country-years of vital registration cause-of-death data, 5 country-years of surveillance data, 21 country-years of verbal autopsy data, and 94 country-years of other data types were added to those used in previous GBD rounds. FINDINGS The leading causes of age-standardised deaths globally were the same in 2019 as they were in 1990; in descending order, these were, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lower respiratory infections. In 2021, however, COVID-19 replaced stroke as the second-leading age-standardised cause of death, with 94·0 deaths (95% UI 89·2-100·0) per 100 000 population. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted the rankings of the leading five causes, lowering stroke to the third-leading and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to the fourth-leading position. In 2021, the highest age-standardised death rates from COVID-19 occurred in sub-Saharan Africa (271·0 deaths [250·1-290·7] per 100 000 population) and Latin America and the Caribbean (195·4 deaths [182·1-211·4] per 100 000 population). The lowest age-standardised death rates from COVID-19 were in the high-income super-region (48·1 deaths [47·4-48·8] per 100 000 population) and southeast Asia, east Asia, and Oceania (23·2 deaths [16·3-37·2] per 100 000 population). Globally, life expectancy steadily improved between 1990 and 2019 for 18 of the 22 investigated causes. Decomposition of global and regional life expectancy showed the positive effect that reductions in deaths from enteric infections, lower respiratory infections, stroke, and neonatal deaths, among others have contributed to improved survival over the study period. However, a net reduction of 1·6 years occurred in global life expectancy between 2019 and 2021, primarily due to increased death rates from COVID-19 and other pandemic-related mortality. Life expectancy was highly variable between super-regions over the study period, with southeast Asia, east Asia, and Oceania gaining 8·3 years (6·7-9·9) overall, while having the smallest reduction in life expectancy due to COVID-19 (0·4 years). The largest reduction in life expectancy due to COVID-19 occurred in Latin America and the Caribbean (3·6 years). Additionally, 53 of the 288 causes of death were highly concentrated in locations with less than 50% of the global population as of 2021, and these causes of death became progressively more concentrated since 1990, when only 44 causes showed this pattern. The concentration phenomenon is discussed heuristically with respect to enteric and lower respiratory infections, malaria, HIV/AIDS, neonatal disorders, tuberculosis, and measles. INTERPRETATION Long-standing gains in life expectancy and reductions in many of the leading causes of death have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the adverse effects of which were spread unevenly among populations. Despite the pandemic, there has been continued progress in combatting several notable causes of death, leading to improved global life expectancy over the study period. Each of the seven GBD super-regions showed an overall improvement from 1990 and 2021, obscuring the negative effect in the years of the pandemic. Additionally, our findings regarding regional variation in causes of death driving increases in life expectancy hold clear policy utility. Analyses of shifting mortality trends reveal that several causes, once widespread globally, are now increasingly concentrated geographically. These changes in mortality concentration, alongside further investigation of changing risks, interventions, and relevant policy, present an important opportunity to deepen our understanding of mortality-reduction strategies. Examining patterns in mortality concentration might reveal areas where successful public health interventions have been implemented. Translating these successes to locations where certain causes of death remain entrenched can inform policies that work to improve life expectancy for people everywhere.

Estudo da resistência do tendão do supra-espinal com pontos simples, duplos e Mason Allen

OBJETIVO: O objetivo do trabalho foi comparar a resistência entre os pontos simples, duplo e Mason-Allen modificado, utilizados para o reparo do manguito rotador, e verificar se há diferença significativa que justifique a utilização do ponto do tipo Mason-Allen modificado ao invés dos pontos simples ou duplo. MÉTODO: Retiramos tendões do músculo supra-espinal de 15 cadáveres humanos frescos (30 ombros), com a média de idade de 45 anos. Os testes foram realizados na máquina universal de ensaio mecânico Kratos® 500/2000 e os resultados submetidos aos testes estatísticos de t-student, análise de variância (ANOVA), comparação múltipla de Bonferroni e calculadas as correlações de Pearson. Os testes foram realizados ao nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença significativa com relação à idade, ao tamanho das amostras e deslocamento do tendão. A resistência variou com média de 127,50 N com o ponto simples, 163,95 N com o duplo e com o ponto de Mason-Allen modificado esta foi de 198,45 N. CONCLUSÃO: não existe diferença da resistência no tendão quanto à falha na interface sutura - tendão comparando-se o ponto duplo com o Mason-Allen modificado e os pontos simples e duplo, porém há diferença quando comparados os pontos simples e Mason-Allen modificado

Mensuração da erosão da borda anterior da glenoide através do exame radiográfico: uma forma simples de realizar a incidência de Bernageau Anterior glenoid rim erosion measured by X-Ray exam: a simple way to perform the Bernageau profile view

OBJETIVO: Analisar se a incidência radiográfica de Bernageau é adequada para estudar a borda anterior da glenoide e determinar a distância entre a borda anterior e posterior da glenoide. MÉTODO: Cinquenta pacientes (31 do sexo masculino) com idade média de 34 anos, foram avaliados posicionando-se o braço em flexão anterior de 160º e o corpo a 70º do chassi radiográfico, enquanto o posicionamento da ampola de raios-X era de 30º crânio-caudal, centrada na espinha da escápula. Dos autores, três mensuraram três vezes a distância entre a borda anterior e posterior da glenoide. Foram estudadas a variabilidade e a reprodutibilidade dessa distância. Três cirurgiões de ombro realizaram uma avaliação subjetiva, respondendo se era possível a avaliação da borda anterior da glenoide na incidência estudada. RESULTADOS: A distância foi em média 24,48mm ± 0,332mm (esquerdo) e 24,82mm ± 0,316mm (direito). O teste de Anderson-Darling mostrou que as medidas tiveram distribuição normal e a correlação de Pearson's mostrou reprodutibilidade significativa (P < 0,01). O primeiro observador concluiu que 67% das radiografias eram adequadas para avaliar a borda anterior da glenoide, o segundo concluiu que 81% e o terceiro 78% eram satisfatórias para a avaliação. O coeficiente Kappa mostrou que o segundo e terceiro examinadores apresentaram concordância substancial em suas opiniões. CONCLUSÃO: A incidência de Bernageau proporciona uma radiografia adequada para o estudo da borda anterior da glenoide e para o cálculo da sua erosão após a comparação com o lado não acometido.<br>OBJECTIVE: To analyze whether the Bernageau view is adequate for studying the anterior glenoid rim and determining the distance between the posterior and anterior glenoid rim. METHODS: Fifty patients (31 males) with a mean age of 34 years were evaluated by positioning their arm at 160º forward flexion and body at 70º with the X-Ray chassis, while positioning the X-ray tube at 30º craniocaudal, centered on the scapula spine. Three of the authors measured the distance between the posterior and anterior glenoid rim three times. The variability and reproducibility of this distance were studied. Three shoulder surgeons performed a subjective evaluation by answering whether it was possible to evaluate the anterior glenoid rim in the view studied. RESULTS: The average distance was 24.48 mm ±0.332 mm (left) and 24.82 mm ±0.316 mm (right). The Anderson-Darling test showed that this distance had a normal distribution and Pearson's correlation showed significant reproducibility (P<0.01). The first observer found that 67% of the X-Rays images were suitable for evaluating the anterior glenoid rim. The second found that 81% were suitable and the third 78%. The Kappa coefficient test showed that the second and third observers had substantial agreement of opinion. CONCLUSION: The Bernageau view provided a suitable X-Ray for studying the anterior glenoid rim and for assessing erosion after comparison with the unaffected side

Reparação artroscópica de lesões pequenas e médias do tendão do músculo supraespinal: avaliação dos resultados clínico-funcionais após dois anos de seguimento

OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados clínico-funcionais das reparações artroscópicas de lesões pequenas e médias do tendão do músculo supraespinal. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados, retrospectivamente, 129 casos de lesões isoladas pequenas ou médias do tendão do músculo supraespinal. O tempo médio de dor foi de 29 meses. A amplitude articular média era de 136º de elevação ativa, 48º de rotação lateral, rotação medial no nível T12 e a escala funcional pré-operatória da UCLA foi, em média, de 17 pontos. Em todos os casos foi possível o reparo completo da lesão. RESULTADOS: A pontuação pela escala funcional da UCLA no período pós-operatório foi, em média, de 32 pontos. O tempo médio de seguimento foi de 39 meses. Setenta e cinco casos (58%) tiveram resultados excelentes e 42 (32%), bons. A elevação ativa final teve a média de 156º, com ganho médio de 20º, e a rotação lateral final foi, em média, de 57º, com ganho médio de 9º, ambos estatisticamente significativos (P < 0,05). Os pacientes submetidos à tenotomia da cabeça longa do bíceps (CLB), com ou sem tenodese, não apresentaram resultado funcional estatisticamente inferior àqueles que foram submetidos somente à descompressão e reparo da lesão (P = 1,00). Quatorze casos (10,8%) apresentaram complicações no período pós-operatório. Seis casos (4,6%) desenvolveram capsulite adesiva e quatro (3,1%) tiveram rerruptura do tendão comprovada por ressonância magnética. CONCLUSÕES: O reparo artroscópico das lesões pequenas e médias do tendão do músculo supraespinal proporcionou melhora clínico-funcional com bons e excelentes resultados em 90% dos casos

Resultados da cirurgia de latarjet no tratamento da instabilidade anterior traumática do ombro associada à erosão óssea da cavidade glenoidal - seguimento mínimo de um ano Results from latarjet surgery for treating traumatic anterior shoulder instability associated with bone erosion in the glenoid cavity, after minimum follow-up of one year

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o resultado da cirurgia de Latarjet para pacientes com luxação recidivante anterior do ombro com perda óssea maior que 25% da cavidade glenoidal. MÉTODO: Avaliamos 26 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de Latarjet. O tempo médio de seguimento foi de 38 meses e a média etária, de 28 anos. Os pacientes foram avaliados quanto à amplitude de movimento e pelas escalas de Rowe e UCLA, no período pré-operatório como no período pós-operatório, radiografias do ombro para avaliar a presença de artrose, posição e consolidação do enxerto e posicionamento dos parafusos. A análise estatística foi utilizada para avaliar se haveria relação entre o número de episódios de luxação, presença de artrose, correlação entre artrose e limitação da rotação lateral. Comparar a diferença entre o arco de movimento do lado operado com o não acometido e avaliação funcional pré e pós-operatória das escalas de UCLA e Rowe. RESULTADOS: A elevação e rotação lateral foram estatisticamente inferiores do lado operado. A escala de UCLA e a de Rowe mostrou uma melhora estatisticamente significante dos resultados clínico-funcionais (P < 0,001 em ambas). Houve relação entre o número de episódios de luxação e a presença de artrose, mas não pudemos confirmar que os casos mais graves de artrose foram os que mais luxaram pela amostra ser pequena. CONCLUSÃO: A cirurgia de Latarjet é um método eficaz para casos graves de erosão da borda da cavidade glenoidal.<br>OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the results from the Latarjet procedure in patients with anterior recurrent dislocation of the shoulder who present bone loss of the glenoid cavity greater than 25%.
