ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To systematically review the patient-reported outcomes and postoperative complications following tuberoplasty for the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. METHODS: A literature search was conducted using PubMed and EMBASE computerized databases from database inception to June 2023 in accordance with the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Included studies evaluated clinical outcomes, postoperative complications, and reoperation rates following tuberoplasty for the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. Exclusion criteria consisted of non-English language, cadaveric studies, case reports, animal studies, studies with overlapping cohorts, letters to editors, and review articles. Study quality was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies criteria. Clinical outcome scores included the visual analog scale for pain, University of California Los Angeles score, and Constant score. RESULTS: Seven studies from 2002 to 2023 consisting of 123 patients with a mean age of 66.5 years (mean range, 63-70.4 years) were included. The mean follow-up time ranged from 18 to 98 months. The mean Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies score was 13.5 (range, 13-15). At final follow-up, the mean postoperative visual analog scale pain scores ranged from 2.3 to 2.5, University of California-Los Angeles shoulder score from 27.2 to 27.7, and Constant scores from 59.2 to 90.6. Postoperative active forward flexion and abduction ranged from 131° to 165°, and 123° to 160°, respectively. The change in acromiohumeral distance postoperatively ranged from -1 mm to -0.6 mm. The rate of postoperative complications ranged from 0% to 19% of patients, while 0% to 19% of patients underwent revision surgery to reverse shoulder arthroplasty. CONCLUSIONS: Tuberoplasty for the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears results in good clinical outcomes with significant pain relief in select populations. However, the variable reoperation rates should be considered when counseling patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, systematic review of Level IV studies.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Swallow and cough impairments lead to aspiration and reduced clearance of aspirate material. Both behaviors are impaired in Parkinson's disease, but it is unknown whether a similar relationship of dysfunction exists in forms of atypical Parkinsonism (APD). Elucidating this association in APD may lead to early, comprehensive airway protection treatment. OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypotheses that swallow deficits in APD are associated with impaired cough and that airway protective dysfunction is associated with longer disease duration. METHODS: Swallowing difficulty was described by 11 participants with APD. Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) and DIGEST scores for thin liquid trials were extracted from medical records of videofluoroscopic swallow study reports. Voluntary and capsaicin induced-reflex cough measures of flow, volume, and timing were analyzed. RESULTS: While most participants did not have post-swallow residue, ~80% received abnormal PAS scores and reported swallowing difficulty. Those with abnormal PAS scores had lower voluntary cough expired volume (P = 0.037; mean rank difference = 5.0); lower reflex inspiratory flow rate (P = 0.034; mean rank difference = 5.5); and longer reflex expiratory flow rise time (P = 0.034; mean rank difference = 5.5). Higher PAS scores and reduced reflex cough volume acceleration were significantly correlated (r = -0.63; P = 0.04) and longer disease duration predicted larger voluntary cough expired volume (R2 = 0.72) and longer flow rise times (R2 = 0.47). CONCLUSIONS: As swallow safety worsens, so might the ability to clear the airways with effective cough in in APD; particularly with longer disease duration. Assessing cough in conjunction with swallowing is important for informing airway protection treatment plans in APD.
