- Anchorless Onlay Dynamic Anterior Stabilization of the Shoulder Using a Guided Posterior Double Endobutton FixationPublication . Maia Dias, C; Alçada, R; Ribeiro da Silva, MThe treatment of shoulder instability in the presence of a subcritical glenoid defect poses challenges, as simple Bankart seems insufficient, and the Latarjet procedure may be excessive. Recently, a dynamic anterior stabilization technique involving anterior transposition of the long head of the biceps (LHB) through a subscapularis split was described for that purpose. Previously published results demonstrated good short-term results, but several technical pitfalls have also been mentioned. We describe an onlay, anchorless, and intra-articular knotless method of fixing the LHB into the anterior glenoid that provides the important stabilizing "sling effect" of the dynamic anterior stabilization while avoiding some of the pitfalls described by other techniques.
- Consecutive Ankle Sprain Classification and Injury Systematization (CASCaIS), Uma Nova Classificação de Entorse Lateral do Tornozelo Baseada no Teste de Pivot: Estudo Prospetivo de CoortePublication . Guerra-Pinto, F; Caetano, J; Alçada, R; Brito Camacho, A; Pacheco, J; Lacerda, D; Alves-da-Silva, T; Côrte-Real, N; Guimarães Consciência, JIntroduction: The biggest challenge in the treatment of acute ankle sprain is the uncertainty of the prognosis. The traditional classifications have several interpretations and little correlation with prognosis. In this study we propose a new classification for acute ankle sprain only based on clinical criteria. Material and methods: We prospectively evaluated all patients with an ankle sprain, aged between 18 and 45 years, admitted to a hospital during a 24 month period. The minimum follow-up period was 12 months. The sprains were classified, in the first few days (CASCaIS-Initial), according to autonomous gait capacity, inspection and palpation. After a few weeks (CASCaIS-Deferred), it was complemented with the mechanical evaluation of ligaments through the ankle pivot test. Results: Among the 49 patients who completed the follow-up, none of those who had a pivot-negative test progressed to chronic ankle instability (CAI). Nine of the 33 patients (27%) with a positive pivot progressed to CAI (p = 0.022). The evaluation of CASCaIS-Deferred demonstrated an association with CAI (p = 0.018). Conclusion: This classification proved to be a simple, inexpensive, and reliable tool that clinicians can use to determine the prognosis of the sprain.
