Artroplastia Total do Joelho Dolorosa

Abstract

A Artroplastia Total do Joelho (ATJ) tem vindo a assumir-se como a opção cirúrgica mais frequente no tratamento de doentes com alterações degenerativas da articulação do joelho devido aos ótimos resultados funcionais e melhoria da dor. No entanto, a percentagem de doentes com sintomas dolorosos após a realização deste procedimento atinge em algumas estatísticas publicadas valores significativos que oscilam entre os 10 e os 20%. Em alguns casos a dor não é facilmente explicável, representando um desafio para o cirurgião. Os autores relatam o caso de uma doente de 71 anos submetida a ATJ primária, no contexto de patologia degenerativa idiopática associado a desvio axial em varum. A dor localizava-se na face anteroexterna do joelho ao nível da interlinha articular e tiveram início no pós-operatório de forma gradual, associadas ao aumento da mobilidade. Devido à presença de um sintoma associado a atividade mecânica, foram colocadas várias hipóteses, entre as quais a possibilidade de conflito com resquício intra-articulares do compartimento externo do joelho. A doente foi submetida a artroscopia da articulação do joelho que revelou a existência de um fragmento meniscal que provocava conflito entre o côndilo externo do componente artroplástico femoral e o polietileno no movimento de extensão máxima do joelho. Procedeu-se a remoção artroscópica do fragmento com melhoria sintomática completa. Os autores pretendem com este caso evidenciar a importância da investigação diagnóstica para o tratamento da dor inexplicável na ATJ, e o valor terapêutico da artroscopia nos casos de provável conflito.
