Lesão do Ligamento Cruzado Anterior

Abstract

A lesão do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) é uma das lesões ligamentares do joelho mais comuns, daí a reconstrução do LCA ser uma das cirurgias mais frequentemente realizadas. O seu diagnóstico baseia-se na história e no exame clínico do joelho. As lesões do LCA ocorrem predominantemente em indivíduos jovens e activos, sobretudo durante a atividade física. As mulheres são mais afectadas que os homens. As lesões do LCA por mecanismo indirecto ocorrem através de uma complexa interacção de múltiplos factores de risco: ambientais, anatómicos, hormonais, neuro-musculares e familiares. A evolução natural da lesão do LCA não está completamente decifrada e acredita-se que a instabilidade anterior possa progredir para lesões degenerativas. O tratamento da lesão do LCA depende do tipo de lesão O objetivo deste trabalho centrou-se na revisão bibliográfica da lesão do LCA a fim de adquirir os conhecimentos mais recentes nas várias dimensões desta patologia, nomeadamente a nível da epidemiologia, patogénese, apresentação clínica, diagnóstico e tratamento. Foi realizada uma pesquisa na base de dados pubmed/medline com as palavras “Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury” e “ACL Injury Treatment”, selecionando sobretudo artigos publicados nos últimos 15 anos e em língua inglesa, incluindo artigos originais e de revisão. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee ligament injuries, then ACL reconstruction be one of the most frequently performed surgeries. The diagnosis is based on history and clinical examination of the knee. The ACL injuries occur predominantly in young and active individuals, especially during physical activity. Women are more affected than men. The ACL injury by indirect mechanism occurs through a complex interaction of multiple risk factors: environmental, anatomical, hormonal, neuromuscular and family. The natural evolution of ACL injury is not completely deciphered and it is believed that the anterior instability can progress to degenerative disease. Treatment of ACL injuries depends on the type of injury. This study focused on literature review of ACL injury in order to acquire the latest knowledge in the various dimensions of this disease, particularly in terms of epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. Research was carried out in the database Pubmed / Medline with the words “Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury” and “ACL Injury Treatment”, especially selecting articles published in the last 15 years and in English, including original and review articles.
