Summary The pain from temporomandibular disorder ( TMD ) is often associated with physical symptoms of other chronic disorders and comorbidities, such as generalised muscle joint pain. However, this association not widely studied. To evaluate the prevalence comorbid in joints, specifically knees, hips, ankles, shoulders, wrists elbows, individuals without . We evaluated 337 patients a public hospital city Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Research Diagnostic Criteria for questionnaire were used...

Brazilian populational aging besides higher life expectancy has increased the incidence of proximal femoral fractures.Treatment those fractures uses implants which are based in measurements performed caucasians, including 135 degrees cervical-diaphyseal angle.Knowing morphometry allows evaluating adequability.We our study using 110 human femurs (49 right and 61 left).We excluded from study: bones submitted to osteosyntesis, prosthetization or showing abnormalities malformations could affect...

Synovial fluid holds a population of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) that could be used for clinical treatment. Our goal was to characterize the inflammatory and metabolomic profile synovial from osteoarthritic patients identify its modulatory effect on cells. collected non-OA OA patients, which centrifuged isolate Cells were cultured 21 days, characterized with specific markers MSC, exposed cocktail induce chondrogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic differentiation. Then, we performed MTT assay...

Abstract Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common and severe knee injury in sports occurs mostly due to noncontact injuries. There an increasing amount of evidence associating ACL single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), SNPs the collagen type I genes can change its expression tissue mechanical features. This study aimed investigate association between COL1A1 COL1A2 with sports-related tears. Methods A total 338 athletes from multiple modalities were analyzed: 146...

Physical examination in the presence of a multiligament knee injury can be complex and challenging. Hence, stress radiography is useful inexpensive tool that widely used assessment this type injury. It guarantees an objective analysis magnitude instability, which may reduce observer's interpretation bias relation to physical examination. However, for radiographic reproducible, it necessary standardize technique evaluate each main ligaments. This article aims describe detail how perform...

Mentally or emotionally stressful situations occur throughout our lives and cause physiological haemodynamic responses. In patients with coronary artery disease, such events can also induce myocardial ischaemia ventricular arrhythmias, increasing mortality rates. The purpose of the present study was to determine acute effects oral administration pyridostigmine, a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor thus an indirect cholinomimetic drug, on echocardiographic variables during mental stress in...

The extensor mechanism provides active knee joint extension and stability of the patellofemoral joint. Rupture quadriceps tendon, although uncommon, is therefore associated with impairment in and, thus, requires surgical repair. Although various techniques provide excellent clinical outcomes for acute rupture, treatment chronic rupture remains clinically challenging. We describe our modified technique tendon repair using a semitendinosus autograft, suturing stump to patella via transosseous...

Viscosupplementation improves pain, function and muscle strength, but not proprioception, in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a prospective randomized trial Phelippe

This study aimed to compare the functional performance among participants with a neuropathic-like symptoms (NS) and central sensitization related signs (CS), their knee osteoarthritis (OA) counterparts.A cross-sectional observational was conducted 125 OA (94 females, mean age 63.1 ​± ​7.4 years). Participants completed self-reported questionnaire personal clinical features musculoskeletal pain characteristics, including NS (PainDETECT), CS (Central Sensitization Inventory, CSI), conditioned...

Compare the maximal isokinetic muscle strength of knee extensor and flexor muscles between patients with osteoarthritis submitted to total arthroplasty.Volunteers were divided into five groups (n = 20): Control; Ahlbäck I II; IV; six months after arthroplasty; 12 arthroplasty. An evaluation was conducted for quadriceps hamstrings at 60°/s.Significant differences in peak torque found among (p < 0.001). The IV, six-month, 12-month postoperative demonstrated lower values when compared Control...

The goal of this study was to report a surgical technique used in revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction case, consisting an adaptation the anterolateral iliotibial band tenodesis (modified Lemaire technique) combined with ACL using adjustable fixation mechanism. Rotational overload one most likely hypotheses for failure primary surgery, despite correct positioning and secure fixation. We performed review pertinent factors related failure, as well strategies its treatment....

To investigate the existence of proprioceptive deficits between injured limb and uninjured (i.e. contralateral normal) limb, in individuals who suffered complete tearing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), using a strength reproduction test. Sixteen patients with ACL participated study. A voluntary maximum isometric test was performed, muscle healthy knee flexed at 60°. The meta-intensity used for procedure 20% strength. performance determined by means absolute error, variable error constant...

Investigar, por meio do teste de reprodução da força, a existência déficits proprioceptivos entre o membro lesionado e não (i.e., contralateral normal) em indivíduos que tenham sofrido ruptura total LCA. Participaram estudo 16 pacientes com Foi feito força voluntária máxima isométrica (FVIM) muscular no LCA saudável, joelho 60° flexão. usada intensidade‐meta para procedimento 20% FVMI. O desempenho proprioceptivo foi determinado dos valores erro absoluto (EA), variável (EV) constante (EC)....

Patellar tendon rupture is an uncommon but disabling lesion. It usually occurs in men younger than 40 years, through direct or indirect trauma. Obtaining satisfactory results with treatment of chronic injuries and re-ruptures which the patella retracts owing to quadriceps contraction a challenge. This major concern especially cases cannot be positioned its anatomic position when distal traction performed. In these cases, V-Y stretching can performed attempt perform reconstruction 1 stage....

The menisci are fibroelastic structures interposed between the articular surfaces of femur and tibia. They absorb impact transmit load. Meniscal injury may compromise function cause rapid joint degeneration, leading to development secondary osteoarthritis. Surgical treatment meniscal is usually performed by arthroscopy, meniscectomy or suture be associated with such treatment. should considered when compromises proper functioning meniscus recover its anatomy function. Different techniques...
