Objective: To identify the prevalence and type of rotator cuff injuries in Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners. Method: A cross-sectional and association evaluating patients through non-probabilistic, convenience sampling, performing a bilateral shoulder ultrasound. Results: In the present study, 40 patients practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu were evaluated; 75% (n = 30) were male and 25% (n = 10) were female, in an age range of 19 to 53 years, with an average age of 31 years, a weight of 80.5 kg (BMI of 27), 82.5% (n = 33) reported pain or discomfort in any of the shoulder arcs of movement, with abduction being more common, with an overall prevalence of 70% (n = 28), followed by flexion (35%, n = 14), extension (22.5%, n = 9), internal rotation (17.5%, n = 7), rotation external (7.5%, n = 3) and adduction (7.5%, n = 3). Conclusions: Eighty percent presented ultrasound findings compatible with rotator cuff injury; the supraspinatus muscle tendon was the most affected element (72.5%). The most frequent finding was tendinopathy in 70% of the practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim. Determine the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of patients with ulcers in the lower extremities, which leads to adequate initial orientation of their etiology and management in primary health care, as it is a frequent pathology and with great economic, social, and environmental impact. general condition of the patient. Methodology. A descriptive, crosssectional study was carried out, which included 30 patients, evaluating various clinical and epidemiological variables statistically analyzed and the results presented in graphs and tables. Results. 60% were female and 40% male, the average age was 63.33 years; 36.66% had previous ulcers. In 60% the etiology of the ulcer was venous and in 23.33% it was neuropathic; 43.33% had grade I ulcers, and 36.67% had grade II ulcers. The most frequent comorbidities were arterial hypertension, venous insufficiency, and diabetes mellitus. The correct initial etiological diagnosis based on the anamnesis and clinical assessment is crucial to install the appropriate treatment measures and avoid chronicity and recurrence of the ulcer.

This case report describes the surgical repair of a total traumatic rupture of the membranous urethra in a 5 years old, mixed-breed male canine patient who was hit three days earlier by a car. In this procedure, the technique described by Fossum (2019) was used with modifications made by the surgical experience of the authors, where a prostatic fixation point was used, allowing to reduce the tension forces exerted by the bladder and the size of the defect. In cases of abdominal trauma, comorbidities are associated with a worse prognosis, in this case, the uroabdomen was treated immediately. The patient remains in the postoperative period for 4 weeks and 14 months later presents a perfect function of the lower urinary tract with normal urine flow, considering that the technique was successful. Systemic antibiotics and anti-inflammatories were administered, and the wound was completely closed three weeks later. The objective of this work is to present a minimally invasive technique without intraoperative complications in which the conservative procedure is modified, generating a successful result without the need for a pubic osteotomy which, in addition to being highly invasive with the tissues, is quite painful for the patient.

Burns represent a complex medical entity, not only due to the management required, but because of the different systemic complications present in these patients, currently, gastrointestinal alterations have been the subject of study for its correlation as a factor of poor prognosis in the natural history of the disease. This paper addresses the different gastrointestinal clinical entities present in burned patients among which are: ileus, bleeding digestive, compartimental syndrome, intestinal perforation and pseudomembranous colitis. To speak of gastrointestinal complications is to refer not only to the complications of the injury, but in many cases secondary to a vigorous medical treatment to which the patient is exposed, as such there is no classification based on the period in which these complications appear; that why a search was made of the different complications in relation to their time of appearance and a classification is proposed in acute and chronic, taking into account the first week of their development for their best understanding.

Introduction: The musculoskeletal disorders have a high incidence and prevalence in the working population internationally. The prevalence in women is 67.17 % and in men is 32.82%. The 12% of consultations in the emergency department (SU) are for ankle sprains, where the majority are people of 35-year-olds, which are usually caused by sports accidents (25%). General objective: To quantify hospital discharges due to trauma to the ankle and foot, during the period between 2017 and 2020 in Chile, according to type of trauma and age group. Materials and methods: Ecological descriptive study. Data on hospital discharges due to ankle and foot trauma between 2017 and 2020 in Chile obtained from the Department of Statistics and Health Information (DEIS) were studied. Because of the nature of the data, it did not require an ethics committee. Results: Of the total hospitalizations during the period, 61.8% corresponded to foot fracture, except ankle, being the most frequent cause, the age group most affected regardless of the cause was 20 to 44 years old (47.8%), followed by the group formed by 45 to 64 years old (30.53%). Conclusions: Ankle and foot trauma mainly affects the population of working age, thus forming a medical and economic problem. Despite this and the frequency, there is not enough research and updating on the subject in Chile, nor is this pathology part of the explicit health guarantees (GES). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the main stabilizers of the knee, but its injury occurs in conjunction with other ligaments. Objective: To determine the prevalence of MCL lesions by magnetic resonance imaging, their degrees and associated lesions in our institution. Material and Methods: Retrospective study from January to April 2018 where KNEE MRIs were evaluated where the MCL lesion was presented to evaluate the degree and type of associated injuries. Results: We included 368 studies, prevalence of isolated MCL lesion of 3.07%, grade I and grade II, prevalence of concomitant MCL lesions was 17.66% grade I (75%), grade II (15%) and grade III (3%). Associated injuries were medial meniscus injury (46.15%), anterior cruciate ligament injury (30.7%), isolated bone contusion (18.46%), chodral injuries (37.58%), medial vastus injury (14.51%), patellar medial retinacular injury (14.51%), vastus lateral injury (9.23%), posterior cruciate ligament injury (6.15%), lateral meniscus injury (4.61%), iliotibial band tenosynovitis (4.61%), medial facet avulsion fracture (3.07%), Pes Anserine tenosynovitis (3.07%). Conclusion: Prevalence of 17.66% of the MCL injuries in our hospital by magnetic resonance, the first 2 degrees predominate, with a wide spectrum of associated knee injuries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Caries is a multifactorial disease, characterized by the demineralization of the hard tissues of the tooth, based on four factors: host, microbiota, saliva and substrate; a diet rich in carbohydrates enhances its development in the oral cavity. A balanced diet can help prevent the carious process in the oral cavity. Caries has multiple etiological factors, it is preventable with good oral hygiene, which can help reduce it. Objective. Correlating the diet with the caries index in the Estancia de Bienestar y Desarrollo Infanti (EBDI) 184 of the ISSSTE. Methodology. A cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out, in 100 children, between 1 and 4 years-old, who were reviewed with an examination kit recording their data in a dental medical record, in January 2019. Results. A total of 100 children were examined, 63 male and 37 female. The caries index revealed that 58 were caries-free and 42 have a carious lesion. Ninety-one children presented complete deciduous dentition and seven showed rehabilitation of some dental organ. Discussion. According to the results, and in comparison with the literature reviewed, it can be attributed that a balanced diet from childhood is a key factor in obtaining a low index of dental caries; according in research in Spain, Mexico and Argentina (2016), the percentage of caries in the child population was 95%; therefore, emphasis can be placed on early prevention and the influence of diet to avoid tooth decay. Conclusions. Based on diet and the degradation of carbohydrates, coupled with good oral hygiene, it is determined that diet is a key factor in reducing the rate of cavities at an early age.

Introduction: One of the current threats to coral reefs is the loss of live coral cover. Massive predation associated with population outbreaks of the crown of thorns seastar, threatens the permanence of the reefs. Since 2017, there has been evidence of an increase in the density of the asteroid and an increase in coral mortality in the southern gulf of California. Objective: To describe the first event of massive predation on corals by Acanthaster planci in Espiritu Santo Island, gulf of California, Mexico. Methods: We visited El Corralito reef nine times between 2017 and 2019, using errant and band transect (25 x 3 m) visual censuses to determine Star density, behavior and damage. Over seven months, we monitored predation on colonies of Pavona gigantea. Results: The mean density of individuals in El Corralito in 2018-2019 was 607.40 ind/ha. Asteroid predation was evident in more than 60 % of diagnosed individuals (N = 827), with the greatest affectations in the P. gigantea colonies (80 %). 63 % of the 129 observed asteroid individuals were feeding mainly on Porites panamensis (68 % of cases). Acute injuries indicate that the predation event is active. In 81 days, 25 m2 of one of the monitored colonies were lost. Conclusions: There is an active outbreak event with significant negative consequences on the El Corralito reef, which could determine the loss of coral cover in a few months. Monitoring and management are required to establish the reasons that led to the outbreak and to control it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Multi-ligament injury of the knee joint is defined as damage to two or more major ligaments. They are uncommon, with an incidence of < 10:10,000. They constitute less than 0.02% of all orthopedic lesions. It is even less frequent to find an association of these with a complete rupture of the patellar tendon which presents with a prevalence of 2.4%. Case report: 22 year old male; he presented a highspeed accident with a diagnosis of multi-ligament left knee injury stage V of Schenck associated with complete patellar tendon rupture treated in a single surgical time with ligament reconstruction, four weeks after traumatic event. A score of 88.5 was obtained after eight months with the IKDC 2000 form for the subjective functional evaluation of the knee. Discussion: The definitive surgical treatment is performed four weeks after the injury. This reduces the risk of instability. In our clinical case, the patient is integrated into the activities of his daily life after eight months. To validate this technique as effective or good for its use, a greater number of patients treated in the same way is required. It is, however, suggested to contemplate as a management option. Conclusion: These types of lesions are infrequent with a prognosis reserved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The painful shoulder is an entity that generates much of the orthopedic consultations worldwide, although it can affect at any stage of life, its prevalence is higher as age increases. Rotator cuff condition is often the most relevant cause of pain and dysfunction. Two common consequences of rotator cuff condition are pseudoparesis and pseudoparalysis, and even though they share similar etiology and symptomatology, their clinical differentiation is critical for optimal management and timely resolution. Objective: To review the theoretical and clinical bases for the differentiation and management of pseudoparesis and pseudoparalysis due to rotator cuff pathology. Material and methods: Descriptive review of the concepts of pseudoparesis and pseudoparalysis from the orthopedic, physiotherapy and rehabilitation perspective. Results: Once the differences in rotator cuff injury mechanisms and how they translate into painful shoulder semiology are understood, it is possible to integrate a differential diagnosis between pseudoparesia and pseudoparalysis. Diagnosis should integrate specific evaluations and exercises to identify both conditions and, once distinguished and identified, allow optimal guidance of therapeutic approach. Conclusion: The differentiation between pseudoparalysis and pseudoparesis allows us to understand the mechanisms of injury and, finally, to provide the optimal treatment for patients with painful shoulder due to rotator cuff pathology.

Introduction: the identification of risk factors for injuries is an important aspect of semi-professional athletes. There is a lack of studies that assess the muscular and biomechanical function that identifies the functionality of the lower limb in sports with the highest prevalence of injury. Objective: to compare functional and biomechanical characteristics of the lower limb in semi-professional athletes, handball and football players. Material and method: 51 semi-professional athletes (A group), handball (BM group) and football (FT qroup) players were included. Hip and knee muscle strength, extensibility of hip flexors, abductors and extensors muscles, and kinematic variables were measured in the dominant and non-dominant lower limb. Results: BM group showed greater strength in all muscle groups statistically significantly (p < 0.05). BM group showed greater muscle extensibility in the hamstrings and abductors compared to the FT group (p < 0.05). No differences were found in the kinematic variables (p > 0.05) except in the angle of the non-dominant lower limb, where the BM group showed less movement compared to the FT group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: BM group showed the highest values of muscular strength extensibility of the hamstrings and abductors and the lowest values of the transverse angle of the pelvis. FT group showed the lowest values of muscular strength, muscular extensibility and the abductors and hamstrings muscles and the lower stability of the Q angle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: a large number of athletes who are subject to multidirectional demands, such as soccer players, suffer acute or overuse injuries related to the groin region throughout their sports career. The objective of this study was to compare the values of maximum concentric power in the direction of hip adduction and abduction in adolescent soccer players with a background of injury in the groin region against a control group with no history of injury in that region throughout its entire sports stage. Material and method: comparative observational analytical study between cases and controls. Five players with a background of non-specific injury at the groin region and five players with no background of injury participated in the study. An assessment of the maximum concentric power in the adductor and hip abductor muscles was performed using an eccentric overload system. Results: players with a background of injury had higher power values than the control group in the sense of abduction of both limbs, as well as a higher power ratio in the abductor muscle compared to the adductor of the non-dominant limb. Conclusions: there is a relationship between the values of maximum concentric average power in adolescent soccer players and a past history of injury in the groin region. These players present greater asymmetries between both extremities and greater imbalances between the abductor and adductor muscles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Different studies have shown that a bad psychological predisposition of the injured athlete could hinder his return to training. The aim of this work was to translate and adapt the questionnaire of psychological predisposition for injured athletes from Spanish to English. A translation-backtranslation methodology was used with native translator and experts in the field of injury recovery. The translators found a high conceptual equivalence between both versions, as well as a low level of difficulty for their translation. The PRIA-RS questionnaire is presented as a conceptually and contextually valid version. Its use at the international level, thanks to this new version in English, could be increased.

Introduction: The lesion of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is commonly accompanied by the fracture of the maleollus either medial or lateral, rarely, the syndesmosis can be injured without there being a fracture of any of the bone structures that make up the ankle, accounting for about 1% of all injuries. Being very rare, they are not diagnosed at the acute event, and are usually treated as a simple sprained ankle. Material and methods: Series of cases with ankle fractureless syndesmosis lesion, treated with situational double screw placement, deferred support and implant removal at two months. After six months of initial surgery, the Cumberland ankle instability (CAIT) test is applied which measures the degree of ankle instability. Results: For one year, 4 cases of fractureless synosmosis lesions were found out of a total of 349 surgical cases treated in the hospital, exclusively in male patients, all under the age of 40. Six months after surgery, CAIT was applied, encountering residual instability in 100% of treated cases. Discussion: This result is unencouraging and makes us reconsider the treatment established to improve the final stability of the ankle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: There Is little information showing orthopedic injuries at the same time as a hip fracture. Our objective is to determine if there is association between the type of orthopedic injuries associated in patients with hip fractures and their demographic variables, fracture pattern and mechanism of injury. Material and methods: Transversal design, descriptive and retrospective. We reviewed cases with hip fractures and had an associated orthopedic lesion from November 01, 2012 to October 31, 2016. Results: We included 103 patients, of whom women 61.2%; average age 64 ± 21 years. Over 65 years old accounted for 59% (n = 61/103), 61.2% had Perthrocanteric fracture (AO/OTA type 31-A1 to A3) (n = 63), the rest of the neck (AO/OTA type 31-B1 to B3) (n = 40); 21.4% had two or more injuries associated with hip fracture (n = 22). The lesions associated with women were those of distal radio, while in males were those of the acetabulum, pelvis or others. There were No differences in sex, age, injury mechanism or number of associated injuries depending on the AO classification of the hip fracture. Discussion: There is a significant number of injuries associated with hip fractures regardless of age, sex, or location. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In patients with polytrauma, the face and head are usually affected. Due to the anatomical location of the cranial nerves, its affection is frequent. The diagnosis in these cases is clinical. The characteristic signs and symptoms of the cranial nerve alterations must be known to identify which type of injury involves the nerve. In many cases the treatment is surgical immediate attention, in other tables it is treated conservatively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main aim of this study was to determine the flexibility profile of the lower extremity in young taekwondo athletes, as well as identifying athletes with muscle shortness. For this purpose, a total of 17 young taekwondo athletes were assessed; seven from the Spanish team and ten from the Murcia team. The range of motion of the main movements of the lower extremity was evaluated by the "ROM SPORT" protocol and a descriptive analysis of each of the quantitative variables was performed. A Student t-test or arWilcoxon test was applied depending on the normality distribution of the data. The ROM values of each movement were classified as "normal" or "shortness" according to previously determined reference values. The results define the following flexibility profile: 23º for iliopsoas, 28º for piriformis, 37º for gastrocnemius, 42º for soleus, 46º for adductors, 46º for external rotators, 56º for internal rotators, 77º for monoarticular adductors, 80º for hamstrings, 140º for quadriceps and 145º for gluteus maximus. Individual evaluations identified muscle shortness in pyramidal (11 athletes, 64.7%), soleus (13 athletes, 76.4%), external rotators (8 athletes, 47%), monoarticular adductors (14 athletes, 82.3%), hamstrings (13 athletes, 76.4%), quadriceps (4 athletes, 23.5%) and gluteus maximus (12 athletes, 70.5%). This flexibility profile can help sports professionals to set quantifiable goals for the training of flexibility in this sport. The inclusion of stretching exercises or the increase of their doses should be applied for the improvement of the identified shortness in piriformis, soleus, external hip rotators, monoarticular, hamstring, and gluteus maximus adductors.

An analysis of work accident was carried out to identify the risks associated with the process of piloting, excavation and casting used in 118 injured workers, without fatalities in six companies of the construction sector in the city of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. The research is descriptive, as it specifies the activities of people, groups, and environment regarding the phenomenon of work accident. In addition, it uses the observation and documentary analysis of previous research, as the method to gather information on what was occurring in the construction companies. Blows (hit by and hit against) had the highest prevalence with frequencies of 50%, 45% and 52% in the respective years in which the study was developed (2014-2016). The year 2014 reported a greater number of accidents with fracture (14%), being these the most incapacitating in the group of accident events analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
