Abstract

Background:  Abnormalities of the human meniscus, including discoid meniscus, double-layered meniscus, and ring-shaped meniscus, have been reported. The prevalence of discoid meniscus is extremely rare, with an incidence of 0.9%-2.4% in the Asian population. Traditionally, discoid meniscus concomitant anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are extremely rare cases. The aim of this study is to discuss a rare case to provide diagnosis and management properly by using arthroscopy.Case Presentation:  A 21-year-old male Balinese, complained of pain in his right knee after fast walking for two months and an unstable knee in the past 1 year ago. On physical examination, the range of motion was limited due to the pain for flexion of more than 90°. Special tests such as Lachman test positive, and Anterior drawer test positive. The patient had medial joint line tenderness, and a McMurray test elicited pain on the medial joint line. Meanwhile, an MRI examination of the right knee showed a discoid medial meniscus with a horizontal cleavage tear and a discoid lateral meniscus with an incomplete tear. We performed a partial meniscectomy of the incomplete discoid medial meniscus and resection of the pathologic medial patellar plica. We performed surgical reconstruction of the ACL ruptured after the meniscus was repaired.Results:  We presented a 21-year-old male with discoid meniscus concomitant ACL rupture to his right knee. After the patient was performed with partial meniscectomy of the incomplete discoid medial meniscus and resection of pathologic medial patellar plica following surgical reconstruction of the ACL ruptured. The patient had no limitation of motion or pain 1 year after the operation and he had no complaints and was satisfied with the result by radiograph.Conclusion:  We concluded that This rare case of medial discoid meniscus concomitant with the ACL rupture must be reconstructed. The treatment of discoid meniscus should consider its tear pattern and whether it is symptomatic. With the development of arthroscopic techniques, the treatment of discoid meniscus has gradually changed from total meniscectomy or partial meniscectomy.Keywords:  anterior cruciate ligament, meniscus, discoid, knee, arthroscopy.Correspondence:  I Gusti Ngurah Wien Aryana.

Abstract

Background: The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a ligament that functions to limit the movement of the tibia toward the anterior and excessive rotation, while the meniscus serves as shock absorption, load transmission, and the stabilizer of the knee joint. About 22% to 86% meniscal tear incidences occurring along with ACL injuries is. The study aims to determine the role of physiotherapists in the postoperative rehabilitation process of patients of ACL Reconstruction (ACLR) and meniscal repair in preventing postoperative complications and functional abilities of patients. Case Report: The patient was a 35-year-old adult male who suffered a complete tear in the ACL and meniscus of the left knee. The patient underwent ACLR and meniscal repair with arthroscopic surgery 2 years after injury with Bone-Pattelar tendon-bone autograph. 2 weeks post-surgery the patient visited the physiotherapy polyclinic with medical conditions of difficulty in bending and straightening the knee, still feeling pain and thick in the knee area. Results: The physiotherapist program was conducted three times and it was a home program-based exercise. The physiotherapist program and outcomes used in the first phase focused on exercises to improve ROM (Goniometer), oedema management (Medline), pain reduction (Numerical Rating Scale), activation exercises, and surrounding muscle strength (Sphygmomanometer), and improve functional ability (Tegner Lysholm Knee Scale) as well as the provision of home programs Performed by regular monitoring of exercise intensity using isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic exercises, which were given according to the concept of progressive loading. Conclusion: This case study shows that surgery combined with a comprehensive physiotherapy program plan in ACLR and meniscal repair cases, as well as adding home-based exercise programs with intense monitoring, generate more effective results. Keywords: physiotherapy rehabilitation, anterior cruciate ligament total, meniscal repair Correspondence: Suryo Saputra Perdana.

Abstract

Background: Flexibility plays an important role for athletes, especially football players. The greater a person's level of muscle flexibility, the lower the risk of injury. Jack Knife Stretching (JKS) and Myofascial Decompression (MD) are treatments that help promote flexibility, particularly for the hamstring muscles. This study aimed to eaxamine the effect of Jack Knife Stretching and Myofascial Decompression in enhancing hamstring muscular flexibility in futsal players.Subjects and Method: This was a randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted at the Kendal Football Club, Kendal, Central Java, Indonesiea, on June 2023. A sample of 20 football players was selected and divided into two groups randomly. The dependent variable was hamstring muscle flexibility. The independent variables were Jack knife stretching and myofascial decompression. Hamstring muscle flexibility was examined using V sit and reach test. Data were compared using independent t test.Results: Before intervention, hamstring muscle flexibility score between groups were comparable (p= 0.708). After intervention, hamstring muscle flexibility score in the MD group (Mean= 22.41; SD= 0.61) was higher than JKS group (Mean= 20.42; SD= 1.36), and it was statistically significant (p= 0.026).Conclusion: Myofascial decompression is more effective to increase hamstring muscle flexibility than Jack knife stretching. Keyword: muscle flexibility, Jack knife stretching, myofascial decompression

Abstract

Background: Patients with mechanical heart valves require lifelong oral anticoagulation. It will be a dilemma if a patient with a mechanical heart valve has surgery. This case report aims to discuss how to interrupt oral anticoagulants and bridging therapy in patients with mechanical heart valves who will be undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Case Report: A 26-year-old pregnant woman, G1P0A0, aterm with a mechanical mitral valve, will have elective Sectio Caesarian Transperitonealis (SCTP) surgery and Intra Uterine Device (IUD) insertion. The patient had a history of mitral valve replacement surgery (MVR) in 2014 and was routinely treated with 4 mg of warfarin at night. From the examination, blood pressure was 120/80 mmHg, heart rate was 90 beats per minute, and pulse rate was 90 beats per minute. The ECG examination found sinus rhythm with 1st-degree atrioventricular block, right axis deviation, 90 beats per minute, and left atrial enlargement. We decided to have oral anticoagulant interruption and bridging therapy by stopping warfarin three days before surgery. When the international normalized ratio (INR) falls <2, patients are given heparin injections (UFH) with an APTT target of 1.5-2.0 times from basic APTT. When the patient was about to be operated on, UFH was stopped 6 hours before surgery and resumed 12 hours after surgery. Warfarin was given one day postoperatively. Patients were adjusted to the dose of UFH according to the target. This patient had no thromboembolic events or bleeding before, during, or after surgery. The patient was allowed to be an outpatient and was given home therapy with Warfarin 5 mg at night. Results: We report a case of a 26-year-old female patient with a mechanical mitral valve who was going to undergo elective SCTP surgery and an IUD insertion. Patients at high risk of thrombo¬embolism due to surgery with a high risk of bleeding. Bridging therapy was performed using UFH. In the perioperative period, the patient did not experience thromboembolic events, and bleeding before, during, and after surgery could be well controlled. Conclusion: Perioperative management of patients with mechanical heart valves must be done carefully. Interruption of oral anticoagulants should be carefully considered considering the risk of thromboembolism and bleeding during the perioperative period. Guidelines recommend that in patients with mechanical heart valves, anticoagulation interruption for minor surgeries is avoided. Whereas in patients with major surgery, it is necessary to do bridging therapy with fast-acting anticoagulants such as UFH or LMWH.

Abstract

Background: Cancer is a health disorder caused by the formation of abnormal cells that grow past the normal cell cycle limit and can attack and spread to other parts of the body. In the Theory of Planned Behavior, one's behavior can be influenced by three main aspects, including attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral control. The purpose of this study was to estimate perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and subjective norms regarding the use of acupuncture therapy in cancer patients with pain. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. This study uses the PICO model. The meta-analytic study was carried out by searching for articles from databases in electronic form using Google schoolar, PubMed, and Elsevier. Article searches were conducted from 05 February to 10 March 2023. The keywords used were “Theory of Planned Behavior” OR “TPB” AND “Acupuncture” OR “Complemantary Alternative Medicine” AND “Cancer” OR “Pain” AND “Cancer Pain” OR “Cross-Sectional”. The inclusion criteria for this study were complete articles using cross-sectional research, published years from 2007-2022. Analysis of the articles in this study used RevMan 5.3 software. Results: 8 cross sectional studies from North United States and Asia (Korea and Malaysia) were selected for meta-analysis. High perceived benefit (aOR= 1.20; 95% CI= 1.09 to 1.33; p<0.001) and strong subjective norm (aOR= 1.05; 95% CI= 1.01 to 1.08; p= 0.005) increased acupuncture utilization to reduce pain. High perceived barrier reduced acupuncture utilization (aOR= 0.94; 95% CI= 0.91 to 0.97; p < 0.001). Conclusion: High perceived benefit and strong subjective norm increase the use of acupuncture. Strong perceived barrier reduces the use of acupuncture. Keywords: Theory of Planned Behavior, cancer patients with pain, acupuncture therapy

Abstract

Background: Stroke is defined as an interruption of the blood supply to the brain which is usually caused by a blockage by a blood clot. This causes disruption of the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain resulting in damage to brain tissue. This study aims to analyze and estimate the effect of hypertension, high-density lipoprotein, and diabetes mellitus on the risk of stroke. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis using the PRISMA flow chart and the PICO model. Population: adults. Intervention: hypertension, high-density lipoprotein, and diabetes mellitus. Comparison: normal blood pressure, normal HDL, and normal blood sugar. Outcome: strokes. The databases used were PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Proquest with keywords (hypertension OR "diabetes mellitus" OR "high-density lipoprotein") AND stroke AND ("cross-sectional" OR "case-control") AND aOR. There were 9 Case-Control studies and 4 Cross-Sectional studies published in 2013-2023 that met the inclusion criteria. Analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3. Results: 13 studies from Oman, Iran, Lebanon, Ghana, Finland, Nigeria, China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia were selected for meta-analysis. Total sample was 71,037. Had history of hypertension (aOR= 5.48; 95% CI = 2.26 to 13.32; p= 0.002) and diabetes mellitus (aOR = 1.93; 95% CI= 1.45 to 2.57; p< 0.001) increased the risk of stroke. High HDL levels reduced the risk of stroke (aOR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.27 to 0.79; p= 0.004). Conclusion: History of hypertension and diabetes mellitus increase the risk of stroke. However, high HDL levels reduce the risk of stroke. Keywords: hypertension, high-density lipoprotein, diabetes mellitus, stroke.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease associated with damage to joint cartilage, where a complex joint degradation process occurs, consisting of a repair process in the cartilage, bone, and synovium, followed by a secondary component of the inflammatory process. The primary cause of osteoarthritis is still not known for certain, but there are several risk factors that play a role, namely: age, gender, genetics, obesity, metabolic diseases, and other factors. This study aimed to examine the effect of theraband exercise on reducing knee pain in OA patients. Subjects and Method: This was a quasy experiment study conducted at Dr. Soedjono Hospital, in Magelang, Central Java, from May to June 2023. A sample of 33 knee osteoarthritis patients was selected using purposive sampling. Intervention group (n= 17) received Theraband exercise and control group (n= 16) received usual care. The dependent variable was knee pain. The independent variable was Theraband exercise. Knee pain was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The data were tested using independent t test. Results: After intervention, mean of VAS score in the intervention group (Mean= 5.25; SD= 1.57) was slightly higher than control group (Mean= 5.13; SD= 1.75), but it was statistically non-significant (p= 0.848). Conclusion: Mean of VAS score in the intervention group is slightly higher than control group, but it is statistically non-significant. Keywords: theraband exercise, pain, osteoarthritis knee.
