- Adaptação transcultural do shoulder rating questionnaire para a língua portuguesa (srq-pt): tradução; validação; análise da consistência interna e replicabilidade.Publication . Guerreiro, J. Alves; Proença, Inês; Moura, Nuno; Cartuxo, AntónioShoulder dysfunctions originate functional limitations that compromise the performance of daily living activities by means of restricting the participation of individuals with this clinical condition. Therefore, functional/quality of life (QOL) measures are essential in the evaluation of treatment outcome. The Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (SRQ) is a self-administered QOL instrument designed in the USA with the purpose of assessing symptoms and function of the shoulder. The present study aims to translate and adapt the original version of the SQR into the Portuguese language of Europe and test its psychometric properties. This study was conducted at Hospital Cuf Descobertas - Department of Orthopedics. There were consecutively recruited fifty-five users (n = 55) diagnosed with different disorders of the shoulder. The original version of the SRQ was translated and adapted in accordance with the international standards. The results of internal consistency using Cronbach's coefficient α are: 0.91 for the total questionnaire, and of 0.84; 0.92; 0.82; 0.86 for the domains: pain, daily living and domestic activities, recreational and athletic activities, global assessment and work, respectively. In the calculation of the test-retest reliability - Spearman-Brown, the coefficient obtained for the total questionnaire was r=0.90, and r=0.78 for global assessment, r=0.83 for pain, r=0.88 for daily living and domestic activities, r=0.92 for recreational and athletic activities, and r=0.94 for work. The values of Cronbach's coefficient α at the 30th day was .94. The empirical data obtained show that the SRQ-PT is a valid and reliable measurement instrument in the assessment of various disorders of the shoulder.
- Arthroscopic-Assisted Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation Repair: A Modified Technique for Horizontal Stabilization Using Suture AnchorsPublication . Teixeira Ramos, Jorge; Silva Gomes, Diogo; Quinaz Neto, Pedro; Sarmento, Marco; Moura, Nuno; Cartucho, AntónioAcromioclavicular (AC) dislocation is a common lesion often resulting from a sports injury. Nowadays, treatment is still controversial mainly in grade III lesions according to the Rockwood classification. For most surgically treated AC acute dislocations, treatment is performed with an arthroscopic procedure that anatomically reconstructs the coracoclavicular ligaments. Increasing knowledge about AC joint biomechanics has underlined the importance of its horizontal stability through the superior and inferior AC ligaments. Moreover, the pattern of lesion tends to repeat itself, with the superior AC ligament being torn most frequently from the clavicular side in a peeling fashion. Therefore, the purpose of this note is to describe the technical aspects of additional horizontal stability through superior AC ligament repair using suture anchors.
