Objective: This study aims to identify the epidemiology of orthopedic injuries in jiu-jitsu practitioners.
Methods: Ninety-six jiu-jitsu practitioners aged between 18 and 45 years, male and female, answered a questionnaire addressing personal data and history of injuries related to the sport during the last 24 months.
Results: In the period cover, 85% of the sample presented injuries related to the practice of jiu-jitsu, with an average of 60 days of absenteeism from sports practice.
Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the most performed orthopedic surgical procedure. The result of ACL reconstructions depends on multiple technical variables, including tension to be applied to the graft for fixation, knee-flexion angle during fixation and the type of fixation to the bone.
Objective: To carry out a survey of the literature with the best evidence on these themes.
Background: Injuries to the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are most commonly associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury than with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury. There is currently a paucity in the literature in regards to treatment and outcomes of such lesions.
Methods: 30 patients underwent surgical treatment of concomitant LCL and ACL injury or concomitant LCL and PCL injury with follow-up postoperative period of two years.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of joint hypermobility in patients undergoing knee surgery to treat traumatic injury to the meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament, and the influence of this hypermobility on postoperative results.
Methods: This prospective study assessed joint hypermobility in patients who underwent surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), partial meniscectomy, or a procedure combining ACL reconstruction and partial meniscectomy during the period 2011-2015. The Beighton score was used to evaluate joint hypermobility and Tegner activity scale for postoperative assessment.
