Morais, B; Botelho, T; Marques, N; Nóbrega, J; Ferrão, A; Jorge, J; Teixeira, FThe purpose of the present study was to compare the results of patients operated with trapeziectomy and ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) using flexor carpi radialis tendon versus trapeziectomy followed by suspension of the first metacarpal to the second metacarpal using a Mini TightRope® suture button (suture button suspension: SBS). A single-center prospective randomized controlled trial...
Is Bilateral Hallux Valgus Chevron Osteotomy a Safe Procedure for Ambulatory Su...
Morais, B; Botelho, T; Marques, N; Ferrão, A; Nóbrega, J; Teixeira, F; Grenho, AIntroduction: Several osteotomies of the first metatarsal have been described for treatment of hallux valgus but chevron osteotomy is one of the most common and well-established procedure for treating this deformity. Although there is a trend towards considering bilateral surgery there is lack of publications addressing bilateral treatment in ambulatory units. The aim of this study is to analyze results of bila...
Anterior Slope Correction-Flexion Osteotomy in Traumatic Genu Recurvatum
Ramos Marques, N; Morais, B; Barreira, M; Nóbrega, J; Ferrão, A; Torrinha Jorge, JA decreased posterior tibial slope has been associated with an increased risk of posterior cruciate ligament failure, anterior knee pain, and premature knee osteoarthritis. Trauma is a common cause of osseous genu recurvatum. Surgical management is recommended to correct the tibial slope and prevent knee pain and osteoarthritis progression. This article discusses our preferred treatment using a proximal tibial ...
Validation of the Ottawa Ankle Rules: Strategies for Increasing Specificity
Morais, B; Branquinho, A; Barreira, M; Correia, J; Machado, M; Marques, N; Ferrão, A; Nóbrega, J; Teixeira, F; Diogo, NIntroduction: The majority of patients with ankle injuries undergo radiological examinations of the foot, ankle or both. The objective of this study was in the first place to validate the Ottawa Ankle Rules (OARs) for the population of our centre. Secondly, an attempt was made to identify parameters that contribute to improve the specificity of the method, with a view to reduce the need for patients to be expos...
Pinckney Fracture: do Not Underestimate Trauma of the Distal Phalanx of the Hallux
Nóbrega, J; Ovídio, J; Arcângelo, J; Campagnolo, JToe injuries are common in the emergency department and most of them are treated conservatively. In some circumstances, these injuries can present as a physeal fracture with concomitant soft-tissue injury affecting the nail bed and resulting in a hidden open fracture. To adequately treat these patients, a high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose and treat the open fractures and to prevent complications suc...
The Hidden Dangers of Beaches: Cardiorespiratory Arrest Induced by Thermal Shock
Café, HM; Santos, S; Chaves, S; Faria, P; Câmara, M; Nóbrega, J; Pereira, VThermal shock is widely recognized by modern medicine. Its pathophysiological mechanisms are known, as are its possible consequences, but scientific reports in the literature about clinical cases with severe consequences are sparse. The authors present a case of cardiorespiratory arrest after prolonged sun exposure followed by a dive in the ocean. Other aetiological causes were ruled out, by exclusion, leading ...
Heart failure at an internal medicine department: a retrospective study.
Santos, R M; Gonçalves, F; Nóbrega, J; Nascimento, L; Ravara, LThe files of 222 patients (112 men) admitted to a Medical Department (Medicina 1) of the Hospital de Santa Maria (Lisbon) between 1/1/87 and 21/6/88 with the diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) were studied retrospectively. The next parameters were considered: sex, age, cause of cardiac disease, duration of CHF, presence of diabetes, predispondent factors of CHF episodes, cardiac rhythm and blood pressu...
