Overview

  • The procedure to treat knee osteoarthritis was performed on March 8 at Hospital Vila Nova Star in São Paulo.
  • A signed medical bulletin says the intervention was well tolerated and had an immediate satisfactory evolution, with no intercurrences.
  • Doctors indicated the infiltration to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve joint function.
  • The team prescribed continued medical and physiotherapy follow-up with periodic reassessment, and they have not ruled out future surgery.
  • DataFolha polled 1,608 voters across 71 municipalities from March 3–5 with a ±2-point margin of error, reporting TSE registrations BR-06798/2026 and SP-04136/2026, and showing Tarcísio ahead across tested matchups.
