Arthroscopic Repair of a Bucket-Handle Tear of a Discoid Lateral Meniscus in a ...
Silva Souto, Catarina; Sousa, Duarte; Carvalho, Tiago; Mesquita Montes, José; Tavares, Nuno; Souto, CatarinaA discoid meniscus is a rare congenital anatomic variation with an estimated incidence of 1% to 3% in children. Due to their abnormal shape, discoid meniscus are associated with reduced tissue quality, less vascularization and looser peripheral attachments when compared to normal ones. Individuals with this abnormality are more predisposed to sustain meniscal injuries. Although meniscal injuries are less preval...
Effect of Preventive Exercise Programs for Swimmer’s Shoulder Injury on Rotator...
Tavares, Nuno; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo; Castro, Maria AntónioBackground: Over the season, competitive swimmers experience a progressive imbalance in rotator cuff strength, predisposing them to a significant risk factor for a swimmer’s shoulder injury. Objectives: Verify the effectiveness of two 12-week preventive programs on the shoulder rotators’ peak torque and conventional/functional ratios. Design: A care provider- and participant-blinded, parallel, randomized contro...
Electromyographic activity of shoulder muscles on two preventive exercise progr...
Tavares, Nuno; Castro, Maria António; Vilas-Boas, João PauloStrength programmes have shown good results in preventing swimmer’s shoulder. However, there aren’t studies based on electromyographic (EMG) analysis in these programmes. This study aims to compare an EMG activity of the middle trapezius (MT), lower trapezius (LT), infraspinatus (IS), serratus anterior (SA), and pectoralis major (PM) in two swimmer’s shoulder preventive programmes – one performed with elastic b...
The Effect of Ice on Shoulder Proprioception in Badminton Athletes
Marouvo, Joel; Tavares, Nuno; Dias, Gonçalo; Castro, Maria AntónioThis study aims to analyze the influence of the application of cryotherapy on shoulder proprioception in badminton athletes. Thirty federated badminton athletes were included in this study, all of whom belonged to three of the teams currently competing in national competitions (Portugal). Their mean ages were 21.00 ± 5.60 years, and their experience in the modality was 8.40 ± 6.93 years. They practiced in an av...

A, Araujo; Tavares, Nuno; Faria, Ana Luísa; Gomes, Rosa; Mendonça, Joana Carvalho; Parente, Bárbara; Capela, Andreia; Barata, Fernando; Macedo, AnaChemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) negatively impact cancer patients' quality of life and treatment outcomes. This study evaluated the achievement of complete response to CINV prophylaxis during the first five days after chemotherapy in adult outpatient cancer clinics with solid malignant tumours receiving Moderate or Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy (MEC or HEC) in Portugal. During the study, patien...

Effectiveness of therapeutic exercise in musculoskeletal risk factors related t...
Tavares, Nuno; Dias, Gonçalo; Carvalho, Paulo; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo; Castro, Maria AntónioTherapeutic exercise seems to minimize musculoskeletal risk factors related to swimmer’s shoulder. However, there is an absence of a qualitative evaluation of these programs and a great variability regarding the characteristics of exercises. The objective of this review was to identify, evaluate, and compare exercise programs used to minimize musculoskeletal risk factors related to swimmer’s shoulder. PubMed, C...

Acute proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation: a sports related injury? - two d...
Nunes, Jóni; Santos, Bruno Direito; Costa, André; Tavares, Nuno; Varanda, Pedro; Duarte, RuiProximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) dislocation is a rare injury, accounting for less than 1% of all knee injuries. The mechanism of this injury is usually sports related. Diagnosis is largely clinical, but the findings may be subtle. This condition may be easily missed. There is no larger series described in the literature but only several cases of dislocation of the PTFJ treated by different methods. We presen...
Gémeas homozigóticas com escolioses “em espelho”
Santos, Cláudia; Sousa, Cristina; Tavares, Nuno; Encarnação, Ângelo; Campos, Armando; Oliveira, AntónioEstudos populacionais recentes caracterizam a escoliose idiopática como uma doença relacionada com um único gene, seguindo o padrão da genética mendeliana, incluindo penetrância e heterogeneidade variada. Outros factores foram considerados: aumento da melatonina e diminuição da calmodulina, alterações do tecido conjuntivo, predisposição neurofisiológica. Apresentam-se duas gémeas homozigóticas adolescentes, com...
