RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The incidence of rotator cuff tears increases with age, and operative management is usually required in patients with persistent symptoms. Although several studies have analyzed the effect of age and comorbidities on outcomes after rotator cuff repair, no study has specifically examined the consequence of frailty. PURPOSE: To determine the best frailty/comorbidity index for predicting functional outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of 340 consecutive patients who underwent unilateral arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at a tertiary hospital between April 2016 and April 2018. All patients had undergone arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair with subacromial decompression by a single fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon. Patient frailty was measured using the Modified Frailty Index (MFI), Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), calculated through retrospective chart review based on case notes made just before surgery; patient age and sex were also noted preoperatively. Functional outcomes using the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), Constant Shoulder Score (CSS), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Shoulder Score, and visual analog scale for pain were measured preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. RESULTS: The MFI was a consistent significant predictor in all functional outcome scores up to 24 months postoperatively (P < .05), unlike the CFS and CCI. Sex was also a significant predictor of postoperative OSS, CSS, and UCLA Shoulder Score, with male sex being associated with better functional outcomes. Patients with higher MFI scores had slower functional improvement postoperatively, but they eventually attained functional outcome scores comparable with those of their counterparts with lower MFI scores at 24 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: The MFI was found to be a better tool for predicting postoperative function than was the CFS or CCI in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The study findings suggest that a multidimensional assessment of frailty (including both functional status and comorbidities) is important in determining functional outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies show that patients who failed conservative management, benefit from open, mini open and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). However, there is a paucity of literature addressing ARCR and outcomes in patients older than the age of 75 years. The purpose of our study was to compare the outcomes of ARCR in patients older than 75 years and younger than 75 years of age. METHODS: Between January 2010 and December 2016, 397 patients underwent unilateral ARCR; of which, 23 patients were 75 years of age and older. Outcome measures recorded include the Constant Shoulder Score (CSS), University of California, Los Angeles Shoulder Score (UCLASS), Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain assessment. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in VAS, CSS, and UCLASS between the two groups at all time points of follow-up (all P > .05). At 2 years after surgery, the OSS was 2 ± 5 points better in the <75 group (P = .012). However, the improvement in OSS was comparable between both groups. The improvement in VAS, CSS, and UCLASS at 2 years after surgery compared with baseline was also similar between the two groups (all P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: The improvement in VAS, CSS, and UCLASS was similar in both groups of patients. We conclude that septuagenarians with symptomatic cuff tears, who have failed conservative management, experience significant improvement in pain, and function after surgery and should not be excluded from the benefits of ARCR.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between functional outcome scores and treatment success after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent unilateral rotator cuff repair at a tertiary hospital between 2010 and 2015. University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder Score (UCLASS), Constant Shoulder Score (CSS), and Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) were measured before and at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Patients were divided into 2 groups at each follow-up: (1) those with successful treatment and (2) those with unsuccessful treatment. Treatment success was defined as simultaneous fulfilment of 3 criteria: clinically significant improvement in pain, expectations for surgery met, and patient satisfied with surgery. RESULTS: A total of 214 subjects met the inclusion criteria. UCLASS was a consistent significant predictor of treatment success at 6 months (odds ratio [OR] 1.192, P = .005, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.054-1.348), 12 months (OR 1.274, P < .001, 95% CI 1.153-1.406), and 24 months (OR 1.266, P < .001, 95% CI 1.162-1.380). Lower preoperative CSS was significant in predicting treatment success at 6 months (OR 0.952, P = .001, 95% CI 0.926-0.979), while larger tear size was significant in predicting treatment success at 24 months (OR 1.773, P = .043, 95% CI 1.019-3.083). CONCLUSION: UCLASS is a better tool for predicting treatment success than CSS and OSS in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, up to a minimum of 24 months' follow-up. A holistic assessment of shoulder function, taking into account both subjective and objective evaluation of function, as well as patient-reported satisfaction, is important in determining treatment success after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, retrospective comparative study.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the functional outcomes after arthroscopic repair of bursal-sided versus articular-sided partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who had undergone arthroscopic tear completion and subsequent repair of symptomatic partial-thickness rotator cuff tears in a single institution from 2010 to 2015. Range of motion (ROM) (forward flexion and abduction), the pain score as measured on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and outcome scores (Constant-Murley score, University of California, Los Angeles shoulder score, and Oxford Shoulder Score) were calculated preoperatively and at 1 year and 2 years postoperatively. The delta difference was calculated for each outcome parameter at the respective follow-up points as the difference from the preoperative baseline score. RESULTS: A total of 104 patients were included. All tears involved the supraspinatus tendon and did not exceed 2 cm. Of the patients, 65 had an articular-sided tear (AST) whereas 39 had a bursal-sided tear (BST). The mean age of the patients was 53.4 years in the AST group and 55.8 years in the BST group. The AST and BST groups did not differ preoperatively in terms of age, sex, and the measured outcome parameters. Postoperatively, the patients in both groups achieved statistically significant improvement in pain relief and functional outcomes at 2 years. No statistically significant difference was observed between the 2 groups in terms of the delta-difference outcomes in ROM in forward flexion (P = .781) or abduction (P = .348), pain score (P = .187), Constant-Murley score (P = .186), University of California, Los Angeles shoulder score (P = .911), and Oxford Shoulder Score (P = .186) at 2 years. CONCLUSIONS: Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears treated with arthroscopic tear completion and subsequent repair achieved good outcomes in terms of ROM, functional outcomes, and pain relief at 2 years. There was no difference in outcomes regardless of whether the location of the tear was articular sided or bursal sided. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Current literature suggests a higher rate of rotator cuff disease development in patients with dyslipidemia (DL). Moderate to high levels of DL are associated with higher rates of retear and revision surgery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Statins protect against development of rotator cuff disease and mitigate the need for rotator cuff repair. PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the influence of DL and statin use on postoperative functional outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: Between 2010 and 2016, 266 patients underwent arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair for atraumatic full-thickness tears. Evaluation was conducted preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Three functional outcome measures were used (Constant Shoulder Score [CSS], Oxford Shoulder Score [OXF], and University of California, Los Angeles, Shoulder Rating Scale [UCLASS]), as well as a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. DL and non-DL were classified through screening of health and assessment of lipid levels within 6 months of surgery (triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein). Patients with DL were divided into statin users and nonusers. Types and dosages of statins were recorded, and intensity and equivalency charts were employed for standardization. Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson chi-square test were used for analysis. Generalized estimating equations and linear mixed models were used to examine the influence of DL and statin dosage, respectively on percentage change of postoperative outcome scores. RESULTS: Increased age was associated with a higher incidence of DL (P < .001), and 86% of the DL group was taking statins. The DL group also exhibited poorer scores preoperatively (CSS, P = .001; OXF, P = .032). No significant difference in scores was elicited between the DL and non-DL groups at 24 months. However, patients with DL experienced greater percentage improvement of CSS and OXF from preoperative baseline than did patients without DL (P = .008 and P = .034, respectively) at 24 months. There was no significant difference in 24-month functional outcomes between statin users and nonusers. No statistically significant change of CSS; OXF; UCLASS; or VAS was noted with increasing statin doses at 24 months. CONCLUSION: Patients with DL with perioperative statin usage did not have poorer 24-month functional outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery compared with those in patients without DL.

RESUMO

AIM: The aim of our study is to compare the improvement in clinical outcomes after conventional arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair and arthroscopic undersurface rotator cuff repair. METHOD: A consecutive series of 120 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair was analysed. Sixty-one patients underwent conventional double-row rotator cuff repair and 59 patients underwent undersurface rotator cuff repair. Several clinical outcomes, including numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), constant shoulder score (CSS), Oxford shoulder score (OSS) and University of California Los Angeles shoulder score (UCLASS), were prospectively recorded by a trained healthcare professional preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery. RESULT: Comparing both groups, there were no differences in age, gender and preoperative NPRS, CSS, OSS and UCLASS. However, the tear size was 0.7 ± 0.2 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.3-1.1) cm larger in the conventional group ( p = 0.002). There was no difference in the improvement of NPRS, CSS, OSS and UCLASS at all time points of follow-up, that is, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery. The duration of operation was shorter by 35 ± 3 (95% CI 28-42) min in the undersurface group ( p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Both arthroscopic undersurface rotator cuff repair and conventional arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair showed marked improvements in clinical scores when compared preoperatively, and there was no difference in improvements between both groups. Arthroscopic undersurface rotator cuff repair is a faster technique compared to the conventional arthroscopic double-row rotator cuff repair.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although more than 1500 publications on hallux valgus can be found in the current literature, none of them have reported on the course of pain resolution after hallux valgus surgery. Thus, this study aimed to investigate pain resolution after hallux valgus surgery and to identify predictive factors associated with residual pain at 6 months after surgery. METHODS: We prospectively followed up 308 patients who underwent hallux valgus surgery at a tertiary hospital at 6 months and 2 years after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors associated with residual pain after surgery. RESULTS: Ninety-four patients (31%) had some degree of residual pain at 6 months after surgery. After excluding 4 patients who developed osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint over the next 18 months, 73 of the remaining 90 (81%) experienced improvement in visual analog scale (VAS) by the 2-years follow-up. Their median VAS improved from 4 (interquartile range [IQR] 3, 5) at 6 months to 0 (IQR 0, 3) at 2 years (P < .001). A higher preoperative VAS increased the risk of having persistent pain at 6 months after sugery (odds ratio [OR] 1.388, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.092, 1.764, P = .007), whereas a higher preoperative Mental Component Score of SF-36 (MCS) reduced this risk (OR 0.952, 95% CI 0.919, 0.987, P = .007). CONCLUSIONS: As much as 31% of patients will have residual pain at 6 months after surgery. Preoperative VAS and MCS are predictors for residual pain. However, these patients will continue to improve over the next 18 months, with 71% of them being pain free at 2 years after surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, prospective comparative study.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare the stiffness of locking compression plate (LCP) constructs with or without drilling the near cortex with elongated figure-of-8 holes. METHODS: 24 synthetic bones were sawn to create a 10-mm gap and were fixed with a 9-hole 4.5-mm narrow LCP. In 12 bones, the near cortex of the adjacent holes to the LCP holes was drilled to create elongated figure-of-8 holes before screw insertion. The stiffness of LCP constructs under axial loading or 4-point bending was assessed by (1) dynamic quasi-physiological testing for fatigue strength, (2) quasi-static testing for stiffness, and (3) testing for absolute strength to failure. RESULTS: None of the 24 constructs had subcatastrophic or catastrophic failure after 10 000 cycles of fatigue loading (p=1.000). The axial stiffness reduced by 16% from 613±62 to 517±44 N/mm (p=0.012) in the case group, whereas the bending stiffness was 16±1 Nm2 in both groups (p=1.000). The maximum axial load to catastrophic failure was 1596±84 N for the control group and 1627±48 N for the case group (p=0.486), whereas the maximum bending moment to catastrophic failure was 79±12 and 80±10 Nm, respectively (p=0.919). CONCLUSION: Drilling the near cortex with elongated figure-of-8 holes reduces the axial stiffness of the LCP construct, without compromising its bending stiffness or strength.
