Inconsistency in shoulder arthrometers for measuring glenohumeral joint laxity:...
Gomes, Eluana; Andrade, Renato; Valente, Cristina; Santos, J. Victor; Nunes, Jóni; Carvalho, Óscar Samuel Novais; Correlo, V. M.; Silva, Filipe S.There is no consensus on how to measure shoulder joint laxity and results reported in the literature are not well systematized for the available shoulder arthrometer devices. This systematic review aims to summarize the results of currently available shoulder arthrometers for measuring glenohumeral laxity in individuals with healthy or injured shoulders. Searches were conducted on the PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of...
Academic performance and perceptions of undergraduate medical students in case-...
Maia, Diogo; Andrade, Renato; Afonso, José; Costa, Patrício Soares; Valente, Cristina; Espregueira-Mendes, JoãoCase-based learning (CBL) is a teaching method centered on active student learning that can overcome the limitations of traditional teaching methods used in undergraduate medical education. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of CBL against other teaching methodologies in terms of academic performance and perceptions (intra-individual, interpeer and student–faculty) of undergradua...
Integration of polyurethane meniscus scaffold during ACL revision is not reliab...
Pereira, Hélder; Cengiz, I. F.; Silva-Correia, Joana; Oliveira, Joaquim M.; Vasconcelos, José C.; Gomes, Sérgio; Ripóll, Pedro L.; Karlsson, JónPurpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome at five-years follow-up of a one-step procedure combining anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and partial meniscus replacement using a polyurethane scaffold for the treatment of symptomatic patients with previously failed ACL reconstruction and partial medial meniscectomy. Moreover, the implanted scaffolds have been evaluated by MRI ...
Light stimulation on tenocytes: A systematic review of in vitro studies
Silva, Mariana Isabel Santos Rodrigues; Andrade, Renato; Cardoso, Maria Fátima Senra; Oliveira, Sofia; Catarino, Susana OliveiraBackground: The purpose of this systematic review is to analyze the methodologies, utilized stimulation parameters, and the main cellular outcomes obtained by in vitro studies that apply a light source on tenocyte cultures. Methods: The PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched up to December 9, 2019 for in vitro studies that used light sources on tenocyte cultures. A 13-item checklist was used...
Tibial plateau fractures osteosynthesis—a case series of 88 patients evaluating...
Mónico, José Lito dos Santos; Andrade, Renato; Matos, Pedro; Mónico, Lisete; Mariano, João Cura; Espregueira-Mendes, João; Fonseca, FernandoBackground: Tibial plateau fractures can be treated using different surgical approaches and different fixation methods. With multiple surgical options available, optimal treatment is still controversial. With variable results, surgical osteosynthesis remains challenging, being the choice of appropriate fixation method fundamental for a favourable clinical outcome. Our goal is to analyse the surgical outcomes of...
Cartilage restoration of patellofemoral lesions: a systematic review
Andrade, R.; Nunes, J.; Hinckel, B. B.; Gruskay, J.; Vasta, S.; Bastos, R.; Oliveira, Joaquim M.; Reis, R. L.; Gomoll, A. H.; Espregueira-Mendes, JoãoPurpose This study aimed to systematically analyze the postoperative clinical, functional, and imaging outcomes, complications, reoperations, and failures following patellofemoral cartilage restoration surgery. Methods This review was conducted according to the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched ...
Intra-articular injection of culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cells with or wi...
Bastos, Ricardo; Mathias, Marcelo; Andrade, Renato; Amaral, Ronaldo J. F. C.; Schott, Vinicius; Balduino, Alex; Bastos, Raquel; Oliveira, Joaquim M.PURPOSE:To compare the clinical and laboratory outcomes of intra-articular injections of culture-expanded bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with or without platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to intra-articular corticosteroid injections for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS:Forty-seven patients with radiographic and symptomatic knee OA were randomized into three groups for intra-articular injec...
Entrapped in cage (EiC) scaffolds of 3D-printed polycaprolactone and porous sil...
Cengiz, I. F.; Maia, F. Raquel; da Silva Morais, Alain; Silva-Correia, Joana; Pereira, H.; Canadas, Raphael Faustino; Espregueira-Mendes, JoãoThe meniscus has critical functions in the knee joint kinematics and homeostasis. Injuries of the meniscus are frequent, and the lack of a functional meniscus between the femur and tibial plateau can cause articular cartilage degeneration leading to osteoarthritis development and progression. Regeneration of meniscus tissue has outstanding challenges to be addressed. In the current study, novel Entrapped in Cag...
Meniscus subluxation retensioning: “autotransplant”
Espregueira-Mendes, João; Andrade, Renato; Silva, Luís; Pereira, Bruno; Sevivas, Nuno; Bastos, RicardoKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition in the older population and is characterized by several articular dysfunctions with consequent anatomic abnormalities including osteochondral degenerative changes and meniscal extrusion. Meniscal damage with extrusion is one of the strongest identified risk factors for the development and progression of knee OA and represents an important factor in the long-term he...
Indirect printing of hierarchical patient‑specifc scafolds for meniscus tissue ...
Costa, João B.; Silva-Correia, Joana; Pina, Sandra Cristina Almeida; da Silva Morais, Alain; Vieira, Sílvia Cristina Araújo; Pereira, H.The complex meniscus tissue plays a critical role in the knee. The high susceptibility to injury has led to an intense pursuit for better tissue engineering regenerative strategies, where scafolds play a major role. In this study, indirect printed hierarchical multilayered scafolds composed by a silk fbroin (SF) upper layer and an 80/20 (w/w) ratio of SF/ionic-doped β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bottom layer we...
