But what exactly is acromeoclavicular arthrosis and how can the violin be related to this image? To better understand, the Earth He spoke with the orthopedist Jean Klay, director of the Brazilian Society of Sple and Elbow Surgery (SBCoc).
What is acromioclavicular arthrosis?
“Acromioclavicular arthrosis is a wear that occurs in this articulation, which we call acromioclavicular joint. The acriomioclavicular joint is one of the joints we have at the level of the shoulder. It is the articulation on the shoulder, a small articulation and which is active The shoulder, “explains Dr. Jean Klay.
According to the expert, this type of arthrosis is generally related to two main factors: excessive use and trauma. “It can be post-traumatic or can be excessive, finally with associated hereditary factors, like any arthrosis”, detail.
The violin as a cause of usury
In the case of Lucas Lima, excessive use seems to be directly related to his profession as a musician. Dr. Klay explains that some tools, in particular the violin, can lead to the development of arthrosis in the acromeoclavicular joint.
“A musician, yes, can develop acromeoclavicular arthrosis, in particular musicians who make a lot of movement, especially if the tool that practices involves adduction movements. The movement for adduction is that movement in which one arm crosses the other This is one of the most than the most than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than the most than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than the most than the most than the most than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than the most than the most than the most than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than more than your used movements On the violin during the violin, “says the orthopedist.
That is, the repetitive gesture of moving the arm, especially when it crosses the body to touch the violin strings, can overload the shoulder articulation, bringing the wear of the cartilage and the formation of arthrosis over time.
The treatment for acromeoclavicular arthrosis begins conservatively, with pain drugs, the treatment of physical therapy and, in some cases, infiltrated guided by ultrasound. “The treatment of any arthrosis is initially clinical and consists of painkillers, arthrosis and physiotherapy drugs. Furthermore, today we have used many infiltrative procedures, in particular the guided ultrasounds”, says dr. Klay.
The expert emphasizes that the acromeoclavicular joint is small and superficial, which requires precision in treatments. The use of ultrasound helps in the correct application of substances such as hyaluronic acid in the articulation concerned. “Although it is very superficial, it is small, so to be convinced that it is putting acid in the articulation, the help of an instrument such as ultrasound, is extremely valid and increasingly used in the orthopedist practice,” he says.
When conservative treatment is not effective, surgery may be necessary. In this case, the solution involves the removal of a part of the clavicle. “Surgical treatment consists in apt about 1-2 centimeters from the lateral region of the clavicle. When they dry this segment of the clavicle, so that there is contact with the ailo and, with that, the patient has no pain”, he explains , “he explains,” The orthopedist.
Surgery can be performed through traditional techniques or arthroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure that uses small engravings and a camera to view and correct the problem more accurately.
