Background: The number of studies and clinical interest in the anterolateral ligament of the knee (ALL) has grown in recent years. A meticulous and accurate ALL dissection is vital in anatomic and biomechanical studies, and a standardized technique is not yet established. As such, the aim of this study was to describe a step-by-step ALL dissection technique that could help authors consistently identify the ALL....
Mnemônicos são utilizados na Medicina há anos e facilitam a memorização e a tomada de condutas. Assim, eles já contribuiram com a formação de milhares de médicos. Alguns deles são famosos e servem como verdadeiros check-lists. O ABCDE, do ATLS, ou o FAST HUGS, da terapia intensiva, são exemplos de como eles estão presentes no dia-a-dia médico Estabelecer, entre acadêmicos de Medicina, a importância dos mnemônic...
Objectives: to evaluate estradiol levels and autotransplantation heated ovarian tissue effects, after vitrification, on rats bone metabolism previously oophorectomized bilaterally. Methods: experimental study with 27 rats aged 11 to 12 weeks and weighing 200g to 300g, submitted to bilateral oophorectomy and ovarian tissue cryopreservation for subsequent reimplantation. Animals were divided into two groups, A an...
Recently described in the medical literature, the anterolateral ligament of the knee is already considered an important stabilizer against the anterolateral tibial rotation, affecting the pivot shift in the failure of the anterior cruciate ligament and behaving as an important secondary rotational stabilizer. The mechanism of anterolateral ligament injury combined with anterior cruciate ligament injury is simil...
Objectives To evaluate the classification proposed by David Dejour to describe trochlear dysplasia of the knee through inter‐ and intra‐observer reproducibility measurements. Methods Ten patients with trochlear dysplasia were studied. Three physicians members of the Brazilian Society of Knee Surgery were invited to evaluate the images. Intra‐ and inter‐observer analyzes were performed at one‐week intervals. The...

Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, São Paulo, v. 30, n. 1, p. 24-33, jan. 2015.; PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of propranolol on capsular architecture around silicone implants by measuring the inflammation, capsular thickness, and collagen fiber density, using a guinea pig experimental model. MET...
A aroeira-do-sertão (Myracroduon urundeuva Fr. All), árvore da família Anacardiácea, é conhecida pelo seu uso popular com atividades anti-inflamatórias e cicatrizantes. Diante dessas qualidades, foram analisadas suas atividades, utilizando-se um modelo experimental em fraturas expostas, induzidas em mandíbula de coelhos. Foram utilizados trinta coelhos, brancos, da raça Nova Zelândia, machos, com peso variando ...
PURPOSE: To compare two rat ovary cryopreservation techniques (vitrification vs. slow freezing) and two postmenopausal stages (early vs. late) with regard to graft take.METHODS: Thirty-three Wistar rats were submitted to bilateral oophorectomy. One ovary was submitted to histological analysis while the other was cryopreserved by slow freezing or vitrification. The cryopreserved ovary was thawed and reimplanted ...
