POSTER ABSTRACTS - ISAKOS

cruciate ligament, chondromalacia and arthrosis)
were selected. Type of study: Transversal study.
Methods: The methodology employed followed
the one advocated by Guillemin et al., to the
processes of translation and cultural adaptation.
Specific for knee symptoms, the Lysholm Knee
Scoring Scale questionnaire was translated.
Results: Patients characteristics included 29 male,
21 female, average age = 38,7years, graduated at
high school (16 patients) and at university (34
patients). Ordinal concordance and inter and
intra-interviewer reproducibility were excellent (?
= 0.9). Inter-interviewer nominal concordance was
good (Kappa = 0.7) and intra- interviewer was
excellent (Kappa=0.8). In the validation process
Lysholm’s questionnaire was correlated to the
numerical scale for pain (r = -0.6; p=0.001) and to
Lequesne’s index (r = -0.8; p=0.001). The
correlation between Lysholm’s and the overall
health evaluation by the patient and therapist was
poor and non-significant. The correlation between
Lysholm questionnaire and the SF-36 was
significant in relation to physical aspects (r = 0.4,
p = 0.04), pain aspects (r= 0.5, p = 0.001) and
functional capacity (r= 0.7; p= 0.001).
Conclusions: We concluded that the Lysholm knee
scoring scale version for the BRAZILian culture
showed reproducibility and validity for patients
with meniscal, anterior cruciate ligament lesions,
chondromalacia and arthrosis of the knee.

Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
is frequently torn in sports, propitianting
instability, propioceptive alterations and muscle
hypotrophy. The instability may only be improved
by surgical intervation. The second and third
aspects may be previously managed, wtih an
isokinetic evaluation of the accomitted
musculature. Objective: Evaluate by isokinetics
the existence of strengh loss and resistance of the
quadricipital musculature in patients with chronic
injury of the ACL. Material and Method: Ten
patients of the masculine sex with unilateral
injury of ACL, minimum evolution of 6 months
and without associated injuries had been
submitted to the study in a dynamometer type
CYBEX 6000, evaluating both knees in relation to
the maximum and average force, power,
resistance and muscular deficiency index (MDI).
The healthy side was considered as control group
Results: In knee flexion, the average MDI was of
18,23 (4,0 to 52,7). In extension of the knee, the
average MDI was of 23,60 (5,7 to 62.1). The
average value of the flexion and extension relation
of the maximum torque in speed of 60º/seg in the
injured side was of 62,22% (50,0 to 77,3) and in
the other knee was of 56.68% (39,6 to 78,6). In the
speed of 240º/seg in the injured side was of
69,16% (37 to 104,8) and in the healthy side was of
53.92% (28,5 to 77,2). Conclusions: The values of
the flexion and extension balance had been more
similar in the lesser speed. Concomitantly to the
speed increase, an increase of the flexion and
extension relation of the knee occurred, denoting
a trend of the flexor grouping to come close itself
to the extensor.

Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
is crucial for the knee stability. Its injury is one of
the main causes of sports related injuries. In
women, the number of ACL tears had been
increased in the last years. Objective: review the
epidemiologic presentation and results of the ACL
reconstruction surgery in a seven-year review.
Material and Method: All data in our institution
related to ACL reconstruction was studied. Later,
it was boarded only data related to the injury of
ACL in women. The IKDC protocol was used.
Results: The authors had found 987 patients. 39
were selected for the study analysis. 26 patients
