LesĂ”es do cabo longo do bĂceps: tenotomia versus tenodese
ResumoAs lesĂ”es da cabeça longa do tendĂŁo bicipital (CLB) sĂŁo comuns na prĂĄtica clĂnica e podem ter causas degenerativas, inflamatĂłrias, instabilidades (subluxação ou luxação) ou traumĂĄticas. Geralmente, elas estĂŁo associadas a outras doenças do ombro, principalmente a lesĂ”es do manguito rotador. Atualmente, existem controvĂ©rsias quanto Ă s indicaçÔes dos tratamentos cirĂșrgicos e Ă escolha da melhor tĂ©cnica para cada caso, devido Ă possibilidade de deformidade estĂ©tica, perda da força muscular e dor residual.O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as indicaçÔes do tratamento cirĂșrgico, a melhor tĂ©cnica cirĂșrgica e as vantagens e desvantagens de cada tĂ©cnica descritas na literatura mĂ©dica ortopĂ©dica no tratamento das lesĂ”es da CLB.Foi realizada revisĂŁo da literatura mĂ©dica ortopĂ©dica disponĂvel na base de dados da Biblioteca Regional de Medicina (BIREME), Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library e Google Scholar, incluindo artigos publicados no perĂodo de 1991 a 2015.AbstractDisorders of the long head of biceps tendon are common in clinical practice. Their causes could be degenerative, inflammatory, instability (subluxation or luxation) or traumatic. They are generally associated to other diseases of the shoulder, mainly rotator cuff injuries. Currently, there is controversy in the literature regarding the indications for surgical treatment and the choice of the best technique for each case, due to the possibility of esthetic deformity, loss of muscle strength, and residual pain.The objective of this study was to identify the indications for surgical treatment, the best surgical technique, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique described in the orthopedic literature for the treatment of long head of biceps tendon injuries.A revision of the orthopedic medical literature on the following databases: Biblioteca Regional de Medicina (BIREME), Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar, comprising articles published in the period from 1991 to 2015
Impacted valgus fractures of the proximal humerus
Impacted valgus fractures of the proximal humerus are considered to be a special type fracture, since impaction of the humeral head on the metaphysis with maintenance of the posteromedial periosteum improves the prognosis regarding occurrences of avascular necrosis. This characteristic can also facilitate the reduction maneuver and increase the consolidation rate of these fractures, even in more complex cases. The studies included were obtained by searching the Bireme, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar databases for those published between 1991 and 2013. The objective of this study was to identify the most common definitions, classifications and treatment methods used for these fractures in the orthopedic medical literature
