Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate if functional training with the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) can reduce the risk of a new injury for patients that underwent an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Our hypothesis was that the functional training might reduce the risk of a new injury. Methods: Our training protocol consisted of six phases, each one lasting six weeks. It began two months after surgery. The study group was composed of 10 individuals that completed our protocol after ACLR. The control group consisted of 10 people that completed a regular ACLR rehabilitation protocol. The FMS was used to compare the study and control group performance. Patients with a score of 14 or less on the FMS were considered more likely to suffer an injury than those with a score higher than 14. Results: The study group average FMS score was 16.6 compared to the control group at 12.3. Functional training for ACLR rehabilitation added a statistically significant benefit (p < 0.0002) to reduce the risk of a new injury compared to regular protocol. Conclusion: Functional training may be considered an alternative to the regular ACLR rehabilitation to reduce the risk of a new injury before returning to sports. Level of Evidence III, Case control study.
Anterior cruciate ligament intra-articular reconstruction may require extra-articular reinforcement in certain situations. As knee lateral region anatomical and biomechanical knowledge has increased with new research, it has been reported that the iliotibial band is important in the anterolateral stabilization of the knee. Possible indications for a "more anatomical" extra-articular tenodesis focusing on capsulo-osseous layer tensioning and distal Kaplan fibers reconstruction are reported, surgical approach details are described, and scientific data that gives support for this procedure are discussed.
Objetivo: O objetivo do nosso estudo foi avaliar se o treinamento funcional pode reduzir o risco de nova lesão para pacientes que tiveram reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (RLCA) por meio do Sistema de Pontuação do Functional Movement Screen (FMS). A hipótese testada foi de que nosso algoritmo de treinamento funcional pode diminuir o risco de nova lesão. Métodos: Nosso protocolo de treinamento consistiu em seis fases, cada uma com duração de seis semanas. Começou dois meses após a reconstrução do ligamento. O grupo de estudo foi composto por 10 indivíduos que completaram nosso protocolo proposto, após a RLCA. O grupo controle consistiu em 10 pessoas que tiveram permissão para retornar às atividades esportivas após concluir um protocolo regular de reabilitação da RLCA. O FMS foi utilizado para comparar o desempenho dos grupos controle e estudo. Pacientes com pontuação igual ou inferior a 14 no FMS foram considerados mais propensos a sofrer uma nova lesão do que aqueles com pontuação maior que quatorze. Resultados: A pontuação média, segundo o FMS, do grupo estudo foi de 16,6 e a do grupo controle, 12,3. O treinamento funcional para a reabilitação da RLCA adicionou um benefício estatisticamente significativo (p <0,0002) para diminuir o risco de nova lesão, em comparação com o protocolo regular de reabilitação. Conclusão: O treinamento funcional pode ser considerado mais uma estratégia a ser incluida na reabilitação regular da RLCA, com o objetivo de diminuir o risco de uma nova lesão, antes de retornar ao esporte. Nível de Evidência: II (Estudo terapêutico - Investigação dos resultados do tratamento)

Morphol., 36(2):531-536, 2018. SUMMARY:The purpose of this study was to determine the origin, frequency and anatomical variations of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve (PCBMN) and its clinical implications in surgical procedures such as decompression of the carpal tunnel and volar approach to the wrist. Dissection of 30 forearms from 18 adult male specimens (9 bilateral, 7 right limbs and 5 left limbs) were performed using 2.5X magnification loupe in order to better understand the PCBMN. Origin, number, length, positioning, anatomical relations and variations were recorded and analyzed. The PCBMN was identified in all dissected forearms, being the most distal branch of the median nerve in all forearms. The average origin was 4.8 cm (ranging 3.8 to 6.5 cm) proximal to the wrist flexion crease. Anatomical variations of the PCBMN are not rare and could endanger the nerve during surgical approach for the volar wrist and proximal palm. We did not find the PCBMN positioned ulnar to the fourth metacarpal axis as well as radial to the flexor carpi radialis tendon. CAETANO, E. B.; VIEIRA, L. A.; SABONGI, R. G.; BOTELHO, C. A.
