| Sumario: | The objective of the present transversal study is to check how Brazilian orthopedists treat these injuries, their criteria for choosing the treatment, results and complications. METHODS: During the 6th Brazilian Congress of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (CBOC) and the 38th Brazilian Congress of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (CBOT) 507 questionnaires were distributed (148 CBOC and 359 CBOT), with 478 being considered for analysis. RESULTS: Regarding type-I and -II ACIs, most of the respondents use traditional non-surgical methods. On the other hand, for type-IV, V and VI injuries, 475 (99.4%) of the respondents indicate surgical methods. Concerning type-III injuries, there is no consensus in the selection between traditional and surgical treatment for 386 (80.7%) respondents, with the most important factor for selecting a given treatment method being the patient's level of sports practice and age. CONCLUSION: There is no consensus regarding type-III ACIs, and the selection of the best treatment method is made according to patient's individual characteristics. However, current literature shows a trend towards non-operative methods. |
