RESUMO
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the degree of patient satisfaction and complications after endoscopic surgery for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 94 patients with lumbar disc herniation undergoing endoscopic lumbar discectomy through the MacNab questionnaire and four subjective questions related to the procedure. Results: Approximately 82% of the patients had good and excellent results, and 91.4% reported being satisfied with the surgical result obtained with endoscopy. The rate of complications with the method was 9.5%, with recurrent disc herniation being the most common complication (5.4% of cases). Conclusions: Endoscopic surgery proved to be an effective and safe method, and an alternative to conventional open surgery. Level of evidence; III. Therapeutic studies - Investigation of treatment results.
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o grau de satisfação dos pacientes e as complicações após cirurgia endoscópica para tratamento da hérnia discal lombar. Método: Avaliados, retrospectivamente, 94 pacientes com hérnia discal lombar, submetidos a discectomia lombar endoscópica, através do Questionário MacNab e por meio de quatro perguntas subjetivas relacionadas ao procedimento. Resultados: Aproximadamente 82% dos pacientes tiveram excelentes e bons resultados e 91,4% relataram estar satisfeitos com o resultado cirúrgico obtido com a endoscopia. A taxa de complicações com o método foi de 9,5%, sendo a recidiva da hérnia discal a complicação mais comum (5,4% dos casos). Conclusão: A cirurgia endoscópica se mostrou um método eficaz, seguro e uma alternativa à cirurgia aberta convencional. Nível de evidência; III. Estudos terapêuticos - Investigação dos resultados do tratamento.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the alpha angle of the hip in patients with noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and compare it with patients without injury. In addition, external and internal rotation of the hip was assessed and correlated with the alpha angle. METHODS: The alpha angle of the ipsilateral hip was assessed in 41 subjects with non-contact ACL tear and compared with 39 subjects with no tear. The external and internal rotation of the ipsilateral hip was also evaluated. RESULTS: The alpha angle was larger in subjects with noncontact ACL injury. The mean was 70.31° (±13.92°) compared with 58.55° (±13.95°) in the control group (p < 0.001). The groups were similar when considering the external, internal, and sum of rotation of the ipsilateral hip. There was no correlation between the alpha angle and decreased rotational range of motion of the hip in either group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Patients with noncontact ACL injury presented a greater alpha angle when compared with the group without tear. There was no difference in the rotational mobility of the hip between groups, nor was there a correlation between the increase in the alpha angle and the decrease in the rotational mobility of the hip.
