Resumo

Introdução: Observa-se, quando da lesão e/ou reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior, não somente que há diminuição da força, mas também da qualidade e da contração do quadríceps, além de atrofia muscular. A ressonância magnética e dinamometria isocinética têm oferecido melhor avaliação dos períodos pré e pós-cirúrgicos, podendo melhor monitorizar e prever a reabilitação pós-operatória.


Objetivos: Revisar o papel do volume e da força do músculo quadríceps femoral antes e após reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior e como estas medidas se correlacionam com as variáveis preditivas da força muscular pré e pós-operatória.


Método: Revisão integrativa colhendo informações em plataformas virtuais. Os textos foram selecionados do SciELO, Google Scholar, Pubmed e Scopus. Os descritores relacionados ao tema foram os seguintes: reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior; ressonância magnética; músculo quadríceps em português e inglês com busca AND ou OR, considerando o título e/ou resumo.


Resultados: Foi realizada a leitura da íntegra dos textos selecionados e incluídos 61 artigos.


Conclusão: Observou-se perda de volume e força do músculo quadríceps após a reconstrução. A perda da força muscular foi 4 vezes maior que a do volume pré- operatório e 2 vezes maior no pós-operatório com melhora após 4 meses da operação.
