Treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with Bristow-Latarjet proc...
Angeli Malavolta, Eduardo; Conforto Gracitelli, Mauro Emilio; Assunção, Jorge Henrique; Brandão de Andrade e Silva, Fernando; Bolliger Neto, RaulObjectives: To describe the clinical and radiographic results of patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation treated with the Bristow-Latarjet technique. Material and Methods: Retrospective case series including 44 patients (45 shoulders) with anterior shoulder instability who underwent the Bristow-Latarjet procedure, including 86% of male patients and 80% with traumatic dislocations. The graft was fi...
Humeral internal rotation osteotomy for the treatment of Erb-Duchenne-type obst...
Assuncao, Jorge Henrique; Neto, Arnaldo Amado Ferreira; Benegas, Eduardo; Bolliger Neto, Raul; Prada, Flavia Santis; Malavolta, Eduardo AngeliOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional and radiographic results in patients undergoing shoulder anterior soft tissue stretching in association with open reduction and internal rotation osteotomy to centralize the humeral head as a treatment for Erb-Duchenne obstetric palsy sequelae. METHOD: A total of 35 patients underwent this surgical treatment, and the mean follow-up was 4.6 years. The Mallet scale was applie...
Comparative study of skin folding of dominant and nondominant hemibodies in spa...
Macedo, Osmair Gomes de; Carazzato, João Gilberto; Meirelles, Eduardo de Souza; Paula, Adilson de; Santos, Carlos Alberto dos; Bolliger Neto, RaulOBJECTIVE: To compare skin folds in the dominant and nondominant halves of the body in a group (A) of 20 individuals with cerebral palsy and spastic hemiplegia and a group (B) of 30 normal volunteers. METHOD: Body mass, height and skin folds were measured, and the percentage of body fat was estimated by adipose tissue measurement and densitometry. The mean age in group (A) was 24.6 ± 5.6 years (ranging from 16....
Development and evaluation of a head-controlled human-computer interface with m...
Pereira, César Augusto Martins; Bolliger Neto, Raul; Reynaldo, Ana Carolina; Luzo, Maria Cândida de Miranda; Oliveira, Reginaldo PeriloOBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to develop a pointing device controlled by head movement that had the same functions as a conventional mouse and to evaluate the performance of the proposed device when operated by quadriplegic users. METHODS: Ten individuals with cervical spinal cord injury participated in functional evaluations of the developed pointing device. The device consisted of a video came...

Effect of intertrochanteric osteotomy on the proximal femur of rabbits: assessm...
Doria, Andrea S.; Cunha, Fabiano G.; Modena, Marcelo; Rodrigues, Consuelo Junqueira; Garcez, Alexandre Teles; Godoy Junior, Rui de; Bolliger Neto, RaulOBJECTIVE: In bone injury, repair results in local increased vascularity and bone marrow remodeling. Characterizing the vascular and metabolic imaging patterns of the proximal femur following an intertrochanteric osteotomy may help clinicians decide proper management of the patient. Our objective was to measure Doppler sonography and scintigraphy interval changes in the proximal femur following intertrochanteri...
Measurement of the flexing force of the fingers by a dynamic splint with a dyna...
Silva, Silmara Nicolau Pedro da; Mattar Jr, Rames; Bolliger Neto, Raul; Pereira, Cesar Augusto MartinsPURPOSE AND METHODS: In order to determine forces acting upon an articular joint during hand rehabilitation, a dynamic splint was built and connected to a dynamometer (capable of measuring forces in the range 0 - 600 gf). Through trigonometric calculation, the authors measured the flexing force in the proximal interphalangeal joint of the middle finger at 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° of flexion. Measu...
