“…We interpret these differences as the result of careful selection of patients with regard to preoperative arthro-CT parameters such as limited degree of retraction of torn tendons and limited fatty muscle infiltration. Finally, we favor biceps tenodesis versus tenotomy when a tear of the long head of the biceps tendon limits the risk for distal biceps tendon migration and because tenodesis reportedly provides greater load to failure [37].…”

BackgroundRepair of cuff tears involving rotator interval reportedly improves function. However, it is unclear whether successful repair prevents shoulder degenerative changes. Questions/purposes Therefore, we (1) documented the minimal 4-year function of patients who underwent open surgical repair for rotator interval tears; (2) evaluated repaired tendon healing with postoperative MRI; and (3) sought to determine the influence of tendon healing on muscular and glenohumeral joint changes. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 22 patients (23 shoulders) treated by open transosseous reinsertion of supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons. The mean age of the patients was 53 years (range, 37-64 years). The tear was traumatic in four cases. Repair healing and muscular changes were assessed using MRI. The minimum followup was 46 months (mean, 75 months; range, 46-103 months).Results We observed an improvement in the absolute Constant-Murley score from 63 points preoperatively to 76 points postoperatively. With the last followup MRI, the supraspinatus tendon repair had failed in two of the 23 shoulders, whereas the subscapularis tendon repair had healed in all cases.

“…Os resultados encontrados na literatura são bastante conflitantes com relação à melhor técnica cirúrgica para o tratamento das tendinopatias da CLB (2)(3)(4)(5)(10)(11)(12)(19)(20)(21) .…”

“…A tenodese da CLB é geralmente recomendada para pacientes jovens -abaixo de 55 anos de idade (2)(3)(4) , principalmente para indivíduos magros (2) , e para pacientes contrários a uma possível deformidade cosmética e disfunção produzidas pela migração distal que pode ocorrer com a tenotomia (12,21) . Já a tenotomia, sem a tenodese, é mais indicada para os pacientes mais idosos e sedentários, existindo sempre a possibilidade de deformidade cosmética pela retração da CLB (2,5) .…”

“…Autores concordam que a tenotomia possa obter melhora adequada do quadro álgico com pequeno déficit funcional (3,5,(10)(11)(12) . Quando comparada com a tenodese, a tenotomia sem tenodese apresenta risco significativo de migração distal da CLB (12) .…”

“…A tenotomia da CLB produz melhora da dor com pequeno déficit funcional (5,(10)(11)(12) , porém, há risco significativo de migração distal da CLB (12) . Já a tenotomia associada a tenodese parece ter algumas vantagens sobre a tenotomia, que incluem a manutenção do comprimento e da tensão muscular, prevenção da atrofia, manutenção das forças de flexão e supinação do antebraço, além de eliminar a dor sem o risco da deformidade cosmética (2) .…”

Expression and function of the LIM homeobox containing genes Lhx3 and Lhx4 in the mouse placenta

The LIM homeobox containing genes of the LIM-3 group, Lhx3 and Lhx4, are critical for normal development. Both genes are involved in the formation of the pituitary and the motoneuron system and loss of either gene causes perinatal lethality. Previous studies had shown that Lhx3 is overexpressed in hyperplastic placentas of mouse interspecies hybrids. To determine the role of LHX3 in the mouse placenta, we performed expression and function analyses. Our results show that Lhx3 exhibits specific spatial and temporal expression in the mouse placenta. However, deletion of Lhx3 does not produce a placental phenotype. To test whether this is due to functional substitution by Lhx4, we performed a phenotype analysis of Lhx3؊/؊; Lhx4؊/؊ double-mutant placentas. A subset of Lhx3؊/؊; Lhx4؊/؊ placentas exhibited abnormal structure of the labyrinth. However, absence of both LIM-3 genes did not interfere with placental transport nor consistently with expression of target genes such as Gnrhr. Thus, LHX3 and LHX4 appear to be dispensable for placental development and function. Developmental Dynamics 237:1517-1525, 2008.
