This study aims to establish the current panorama of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery in Brazil.
A survey that consisted of a 24-item questionnaire including surgeon's demographics, preferred technique, graft selection, graft positioning, use of braces, drains, antibiotic prophylaxis and most common complications was conducted at the last three editions of a national knee surgery event.
Six hundred eight questionnaires were analyzed. Brazilian knee surgeons are mostly male, with mean age of 42 years (26-68) and are affiliated to at least one orthopedic society. Thirty-six percent (36%) perform more than 50 reconstructions per year. The preferred graft is the hamstring tendons graft (64%). The frequency of use of anatomical technique increased approximately from 55% from 2011 to 2013, to 85.5% in 2015 (p<0.001). From 2011 to 2015, there was a progressive reduction from 56.8% to 18.1% in the frequency of use of transtibial femoral tunnel drilling (p<0.001).
Our findings show that Brazilian knee surgeons' preferences are evolving according to the current world practice.
本研究旨在确立巴西前交叉韧带重建手术的当前概况。
在最近三届全国膝关节手术活动中进行了一项调查，该调查由一份包含24个项目的问卷组成，内容包括外科医生的人口统计学信息、首选技术、移植物选择、移植物定位、支具使用、引流管、抗生素预防以及最常见的并发症。
分析了608份问卷。巴西膝关节外科医生大多为男性，平均年龄42岁（26 - 68岁），且隶属于至少一个骨科协会。36%的医生每年进行超过50例重建手术。首选的移植物是腘绳肌腱移植物（64%）。解剖技术的使用频率从2011年至2013年的约55%增加到2015年的85.5%（p<0.001）。从2011年到2015年，经胫骨股骨隧道钻孔的使用频率从56.8%逐渐降至18.1%（p<0.001）。
我们的研究结果表明，巴西膝关节外科医生的偏好正在根据当前的世界实践不断演变。
