CURRENT PANORAMA OF ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY IN BRAZIL.

Abstract:

Objective:This study aims to establish the current panorama of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery in Brazil. Methods:A survey that consisted of a 24-item questionnaire including surgeon's demographics, preferred technique, graft selection, graft positioning, use of braces, drains, antibiotic prophylaxis and most common complications was conducted at the last three editions of a national knee surgery event. Results:Six hundred eight questionnaires were analyzed. Brazilian knee surgeons are mostly male, with mean age of 42 years (26-68) and are affiliated to at least one orthopedic society. Thirty-six percent (36%) perform more than 50 reconstructions per year. The preferred graft is the hamstring tendons graft (64%). The frequency of use of anatomical technique increased approximately from 55% from 2011 to 2013, to 85.5% in 2015 (p<0.001). From 2011 to 2015, there was a progressive reduction from 56.8% to 18.1% in the frequency of use of transtibial femoral tunnel drilling (p<0.001). Conclusion:Our findings show that Brazilian knee surgeons' preferences are evolving according to the current world practice. Level of Evidence V, Economic and Decision analysis study. Objetivo:O presente estudo tem como objetivo estabelecer o panorama atual da cirurgia de reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior no Brasil. Métodos:Nas últimas três edições de um evento nacional de cirurgia do joelho, realizou-se uma pesquisa que consistiu em um questionário de 24 itens incluindo dados demográficos do cirurgião, técnica preferida, seleção do enxerto, posicionamento do enxerto, uso de órteses, drenos, profilaxia antibiótica e complicações mais comuns. Resultados:Seiscentos e oito questionários foram analisados. O cirurgião brasileiro de joelho é majoritariamente do sexo masculino, tem idade média de 42 anos (26-68) e é afiliado a pelo menos uma sociedade ortopédica. Trinta e seis por cento (36%) realizam mais de 50 reconstruções por ano. O enxerto preferido é o enxerto de tendões isquiotibiais (64%). A frequência de uso da técnica anatômica aumentou de 55% nos anos de 2011 e 2013 para 85,5% em 2015 (p<0,001). Após 2011, também foi observada redução progressiva de 56,8% para 18,1% até 2015 na frequência de uso da técnica de perfuração do túnel femoral transtibial (p<0,001). Conclusão:Nossos achados mostram que os cirurgiões brasileiros de joelho estão evoluindo de acordo com a prática mundial atual. Nível de evidência V, Análise econômica e de decisão.
