Arthroscopy 2024:S0749-8063(24)00616-9. [PMID: 39214427 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2024.08.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify independent factors responsible for poor outcomes after a graft tear after arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR). METHODS Patients who underwent ASCR for massive rotator cuff tears between January 2013 and July 2021were reviewed. On the basis of the achievement of the minimal clinically important differences for clinical outcome measures at the final follow-up, patients were divided into the good outcome (GO) and poor outcome (PO) groups. The minimal clinically important differences were calculated as the value equal to one-half of the standard deviation of the changes in outcome scores between the preoperative baseline and the latest follow-up. Pre- and final follow-up variables included demographics, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Constant score, visual analog scale score, and range of motion. Preoperative and postoperative 1-year radiologic variables were analyzed using magnetic resonance imaging, including anteroposterior and mediolateral tear sizes, subscapularis tear, acromiohumeral distance (AHD), and degree of fatty degeneration. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the significant predictors of poor outcomes. RESULTS A total of 33 patients who underwent ASCR presented with graft tears, which were confirmed by postoperative 1-year magnetic resonance imaging, and had a minimum follow-up duration of 2 years after surgery were enrolled. The GO group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in functional outcomes compared with the PO group (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score: 83.5 ± 11.8 vs 64.0 ± 20.4, P = 0.004; Constant: 67.6 ± 5.7 vs 57.1 ± 9.8, P < .001; and visual analog scale score: 0.9 ± 1.2 vs 2.4 ± 2.0, P = .026). The postoperative 1-year AHD showed significant improvement in the GO group (3.1 ± 1.2 vs 6.1 ± 1.4, P < .001) but no change in the PO group (3.4 ± 1.3 vs 4.2 ± 0.9, P = .074) postoperatively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that a decreased postoperative 1-year AHD (odds ratio, 0.145; P = .019) was associated with a poor outcome after a graft tear. CONCLUSIONS A narrow postoperative 1-year AHD was identified as the most important independent risk factor indicating poor clinical outcomes after a graft tear post-ASCR, which was related to a larger tear and loss of integrity between the grafts and infraspinatus at 1-year postoperatively.

Fatty Infiltration, Tear Size, and Retraction Size Are Significant Risk Factors for Retear After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Systematic Review. Arthroscopy 2024:S0749-8063(24)00488-2. [PMID: 38986851 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2024.06.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the consistency and quality of risk factor reporting for rotator cuff repair (RCR) retear and identify risk factors most frequently associated with retear. METHODS A systematic review was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Of the initial 3,158 studies, a total of 31 met the following inclusion criteria: (1) clinical studies regarding RCR failure, (2) arthroscopic procedures involving RCR, (3) reporting of clinical outcomes, (4) publication within the past 5 years, and (5) studies investigating preoperative risk factors for retear. After full-text review, 18 risk factors were analyzed. RESULTS The most consistently significant risk factors were acromiohumeral distance (80%), critical shoulder angle (67%), tear size (63%), anterior-posterior dimension (60%), fatty infiltration (FI) (58%), and retraction size (56%). FI was analyzed using different methods among studies, with 63% finding significant results and 50% of all studies performing ordinal analysis. Tear size was inconsistently analyzed quantitatively or qualitatively, with 58% of studies finding significant results and 63% of all studies performing quantitative analysis. Risk factors consistently found to be nonsignificant included age, sex, diabetes mellitus, symptom duration, hand dominance, repair technique, smoking, and body mass index. CONCLUSIONS Tear size, FI, and retraction size were found to be significant risk factors in most of the included studies evaluating rotator cuff retear. Risk factors less likely reported as predictive included repair technique, age, sex, diabetes mellitus, symptom duration, hand dominance, repair technique, smoking, and body mass index. Risk factors that require further investigation include critical shoulder angle, acromiohumeral distance, and anterior-posterior tear dimension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking impairs rotator cuff healing, but no study, to our knowledge, has focused on the association between heated tobacco products and rotator cuff tears. METHODS This study retrospectively investigated 1,133 patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of symptomatic rotator cuff tears between March 2011 and April 2021. Patients were grouped on the basis of their smoking patterns as nonsmokers, cigarette smokers, and heated tobacco smokers. Propensity score matching was used to reduce selection bias, and 45 subjects were selected from each group via 1:1:1 matching. Functional scores and active range of motion were compared among the 3 groups preoperatively and at a 2-year follow-up. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging was performed 6 months after the surgical procedure to assess structural integrity. RESULTS Except for sex, similar baseline characteristics were achieved after propensity score matching. There were no differences in the clinical scores or range of motion between the matched groups either preoperatively or at the 2-year follow-up. However, the retear rate for the matched nonsmoker group was significantly lower (8.9%) than those for the matched cigarette smoker group (31.1%) and the heated tobacco smoker group (28.9%) (p = 0.022). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that the retear rates were 3.403 times higher for the cigarette smoker group and 3.397 times higher for the heated tobacco smoker group than that for the nonsmoker group. CONCLUSIONS Heated tobacco users, like conventional cigarette smokers, have worse clinical outcomes with respect to rotator cuff healing than nonsmokers. Regardless of the type of cigarette, abstinence from smoking is necessary for patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III .

Abstract
Surgical repair of rotator cuff tears is performed routinely; however, the risks of re-tears and the associated consequences are significant. Sonoelastography, an imaging modality that evaluates the mechanical properties of tissues, can examine the dynamic transitions in rotator cuff stiffness following retear and investigate the relationship between these changes and the occurrences of retears. This systematic review aimed to summarize the role of perioperative sonoelastography in repaired rotator cuffs. A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was conducted, covering studies published until June 19, 2023. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used for quality assessment. The key information extracted from each study included the injury/surgery type, follow-up duration, sonoelastography mode, and main sonoelastographic findings. Eleven eligible studies comprising 355 patients were included. All studies focused on supraspinatus muscles and tendons with previous arthroscopic repairs. During the postoperative 1st - 6th months, muscle stiffness increased in the supraspinatus and decreased in the ipsilateral deltoid. Failure to recover supraspinatus muscle elasticity might be indicative of potential tendon re-tear; however, it is imperative to first establish correlations with other imaging modalities. Conflicting findings have been observed regarding stiffening or softening of the supraspinatus tendon after surgical repair. The preoperative stiffness of the supraspinatus tendon did not correlate with postoperative tendon integrity or function.

Yau WP. Smokers Achieved Minimal Clinically Important Difference for Visual Analog Scale and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Scores at a Lower Rate Than Nonsmokers Even When Repaired Supraspinatus Tendons Were Intact on Postoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2024; 6:100877. [PMID: 38379600 PMCID: PMC10877171 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmr.2023.100877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To investigate the impact of smoking on clinical outcomes after repair of supraspinatus tendon in patients who had an intact repair found on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Methods Patients who received primary complete repair of supraspinatus tendon tear between 2014 and 2020 were retrospectively identified. Patients were excluded if a postoperative magnetic resonance imaging scan was not available or if the follow-up was less than 2 years. Visual analog score (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and active forward flexion were assessed at the 2-year follow-up. The percentage of patients acquiring minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was reported. Results One hundred primary supraspinatus tendon repairs were included. The healing rate was 77% in smokers and 90% in nonsmokers. Smoking was the independent predictor of a poorer 2-year VAS (P < .001) and ASES (P < .001) scores. Significant improvement in clinical outcomes was observed between preoperation and the 2-year follow-up, regardless of the integrity of the repair or smoking status (P < .001). When the repaired tendon was intact, nonsmokers had a greater chance of achieving MCID in 2-year VAS and ASES scores than smokers. Ninety-nine percent of nonsmokers, compared with 82% of smokers, achieved MCID in VAS at the 2-year follow-up (P = .023). The corresponding figures for ASES were 98% and 71%, respectively (P = .004). Conclusions In this study, smoking was associated with poorer clinical outcomes, including a greater 2-year VAS pain score and a lower 2-year ASES score, when compared with nonsmokers, even in cases in which there was no full-thickness retear of the repaired supraspinatus tendon.

Quantifying Threshold Scores for Patient Satisfaction After Massive Rotator Cuff Repair for the Interpretation of Mid-Term Patient-Reported Outcomes. Arthroscopy 2024; 40:204-213. [PMID: 37394149 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2023.06.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To establish minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) values for 4 patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients undergoing arthroscopic massive rotator cuff repair (aMRCR): American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), Veterans Rand-12 (VR-12) score, and the visual analog scale (VAS) pain. In addition, our study seeks to determine preoperative factors associated with achieving clinically significant improvement as defined by the MCID and PASS. METHODS A retrospective review at 2 institutions was performed to identify patients undergoing aMRCR with minimum 4-year follow-up. Data collected at the 1-year, 2-year, and 4-year time points included patient characteristics (age, sex, length of follow-up, tobacco use, and workers' compensation status), radiologic parameters (Goutallier fatty infiltration and modified Collin tear pattern), and 4 PRO measures (collected preoperatively and postoperatively): ASES score, SSV, VR-12 score, and VAS pain. The MCID and PASS for each outcome measure were calculated using the distribution-based method and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, respectively. Pearson and Spearman coefficient analyses were used to determine correlations between preoperative variables and MCID or PASS thresholds. RESULTS A total of 101 patients with a mean follow-up of 64 months were included in the study. The MCID and PASS values at the 4-year follow-up for ASES were 14.5 and 69.4, respectively; for SSV, 13.7 and 81.5; for VR-12, 6.6 and 40.3; and for VAS pain, 1.3 and 1.2. Greater infraspinatus fatty infiltration was associated with failing to reach clinically significant values. CONCLUSIONS This study defined MCID and PASS values for commonly used outcome measures in patients undergoing aMRCR at the 1-year, 2-year, and 4-year follow-up. At mid-term follow-up, greater preoperative rotator cuff disease severity was associated with failure to achieve clinically significant outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, case series.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:247-254. [PMID: 37499783 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.06.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is a known risk factor for tendon degeneration due to oxidative stresses from production of advanced glycosylation end products. In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), analysis of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) provides a 3-month window into a patient's glucose control. No guidelines exist for ideal preoperative HbA1c and glucose control prior to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. This study evaluated if a critical HbA1c level is associated with reoperation following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients with DM who underwent primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repair from January 2014 to December 2018 at a single institution. Patients required a preoperative HbA1c within 3 months of surgery. Medical records were queried to evaluate for reoperation and identify the subsequent procedures performed. Univariate statistical analysis was performed to assess factors associated with reoperation (P < .05 considered significant). Threshold, area under the curve (AUC), analysis was performed to assess if a critical HbA1c value was associated with reoperation. RESULTS A total of 402 patients met inclusion criteria. Patients had an average age of 65.5 years (range 40-89) at time of surgery; 244 (60.6%) patients were male; and average body mass index was 32.96 ± 5.81. Mean HbA1c was 7.36 (range 5.2-12). Thirty-three patients (8.2%) underwent subsequent reoperation. Six patients (1.5%) underwent capsular release and lysis of adhesions, 20 patients (5.0%) underwent a revision rotator cuff surgery, combination revision rotator cuff repair and lysis of adhesions, graft-augmented revision repair, or superior capsular reconstruction, and 7 patients (1.7%) underwent revision to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (1.7%). There were no cases of reoperation for infection. On AUC analysis, no critical HbA1c value was identified to predispose to reoperation. Interestingly, elevated preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification score (2.8 vs. 2.28, P = .001) was associated with a higher reoperation rate. DISCUSSION In patients with DM, preoperative HbA1c is not a predictive factor for surgical failure requiring reoperation. Stable glycemic control is important to a patient's overall health and may play a role in minimizing postoperative medical complications, but an elevated preoperative HbA1c should not be a strict surgical contraindication for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. In patients with DM, an elevated ASA score is associated with an increased rate of subsequent reoperation; diabetic patients should be counseled accordingly.

Abstract
Traumatic or degenerative joint pain is abundant in the population. Symptom relief by intra- and periarticular glucocorticoid administration is frequently used, however may have potentially devastating effects, changing the normal healing process of the joint. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are important for wound-healing processes due to their multipotency in regenerating osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes but also have immunomodulatory properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) a common glucocorticoid administrated intra- and periarticularly, on human bone marrow derived MSC viability, functionality, multi-lineage differentiation and transcriptomic output. We found that TA treatment induced apoptosis and promoted adipogenesis while impairing chondrogenesis of MSCs. RNA sequencing indicated that TA modulated the inflammatory response of MSCs, which may have an impact on the immunologic environment where the inflammatory phase is a physiological part of the natural healing process. These data indicate that triamcinolone acetonide should be used with consideration bearing the patient's outcome in mind, with the intention to optimize joint recovery and homeostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A pre-existing mood and anxiety disorder (MAD) is often present in patients with rotator cuff pathology, but its presumed negative effect on the outcomes has not been demonstrated. AIM OF STUDY AND HYPOTHESIS The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how a history of MAD affects the clinical outcomes 1 year after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). The secondary objectives were to evaluate how a history of MAD affects tendon healing, analgesic consumption and the occurrence of complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population consisted of 219 patients (mean age 54.5±6.6 years) who underwent arthroscopic repair for a distal supraspinatus tendon tear, with 17% (38/219) presenting an history of MAD (depression, unspecified mood disorder, anxiety, and bipolar disorder). Using univariate and multivariate analyses, the joint range of motion, Constant score, analgesic consumption, occurrence of complications during the first postoperative year and tendon healing at 1 year (MRI or CT arthrography) were compared between the two groups (with or without MAD). RESULTS The Constant score was lower preoperatively in patients with history of MAD (-4 points, p=.04) but there were no significant differences between the two groups at the various postoperative follow-up time points (p>.05). No significant difference was found between the two groups of patients in their analgesic consumption at the various postoperative time points (p>.05), tendon healing at 1 year (p=.17) or the occurrence of postoperative complications (p=.59). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Pre-existing MAD had no effect on the clinical outcomes after arthroscopic RCR at 1 year and no effect on tendon healing, analgesic consumption or the occurrence of complications in our study population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature to evaluate the effect of pre-existing mood disorders on patient-reported outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). METHODS Two independent reviewers performed a literature search using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases. Only studies which grouped as either having a pre-existing mood disorder (namely anxiety and/or depression) or not and evaluated patient-reported outcomes following ARCR procedures were considered for inclusion. Meta-analysis was performed on outcomes using RevMan, with a p-value <0.05 being deemed statistically significant. RESULTS Our search found 8 studies including 1,166 shoulders (58.9% males), with an average age of 57.7 ± 3.2 years (21-81) and mean follow-up of 20.8 ± 16.7 months (3-77) which met our inclusion criteria. There were a total of 262 patients (22.5%; mean age 59.9 ± 1.4 years) with pre-existing anxiety and/or depression and 904 patients (77.5%; mean age 59.7 ± 1.7 years) in the control group who underwent ARCR, respectively. Meta-analysis found significantly lower American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores as well as Simple Shoulder Test scores in patients with pre-existing anxiety and/or depression when compared with a control (mean difference [MD] -7.92 [-9.45, -6.40], p < 0.0001, I2 = 0%; MD -1.56 [-2.54, -0.59], p = 0.002, I2 = 80%, respectively) In addition, meta-analysis demonstrated significantly higher Visual Analog Scale scores for pain in patients with pre-existing anxiety and/or depression when compared with a control (MD 0.70 [0.02, 1.38], p = 0.04, I2 = 71%). Furthermore, meta-analysis performed found that ARCR resulted in significant changes in the rates of reported anxiety and/or depression in patients with pre-existing anxiety and/or depression (MD 4.06[-2.47, 6.68], p < 0.0001, I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION Our review found that patients with pre-existing mood disorders were significantly more likely to report higher rates of postoperative pain and poorer functional outcomes following ARCR procedures, when compared with controls without mood disorders. Therefore, the presence of pre-existing anxiety and/or depression warrants consideration in the management paradigm for patients with rotator cuff tears. More optimistically, however, ARCR resulted in significant improvements in anxiety and/or depressive symptoms postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is challenging to predict retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). The usefulness of arthroscopic intraoperative images as predictors of the ARCR prognosis has not been analyzed. PURPOSE To evaluate the usefulness of arthroscopic images for the prediction of retear after ARCR using deep learning (DL) algorithms. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS In total, 1394 arthroscopic intraoperative images were retrospectively obtained from 580 patients. Repaired tendon integrity was evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging performed within 2 years after surgery. Images obtained immediately after ARCR were included. We used 3 DL architectures to predict retear based on arthroscopic images. Three pretrained DL algorithms (VGG16, DenseNet, and Xception) were used for transfer learning. Training and test sets were split into 8:2. Threefold stratified validation was used to fine-tune the hyperparameters using the training data set. The validation results of each fold were evaluated. The performance of each model in the test set was evaluated in terms of accuracy, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), F1-score, sensitivity, and specificity. RESULTS In total, 1138 and 256 arthroscopic images were obtained from 514 patients and 66 patients in the nonretear and retear groups, respectively. The mean validation accuracy of each model was 83% for VGG16, 89% for Xception, and 91% for DenseNet. The accuracy for the test set was 76% for VGG16, 87% for Xception, and 91% for DenseNet. The AUC was highest for DenseNet (0.92); it was 0.83 for VGG16 and 0.91 for Xception. For the test set, the specificity and sensitivity were 0.93 and 0.84 for DenseNet, 0.89 and 0.84 for Xception, and 0.70 and 0.80 for VGG16, respectively. CONCLUSION The application of DL algorithms to intraoperative arthroscopic images has demonstrated a high level of accuracy in predicting retear occurrences.

The effect of preoperative smoking cessation on the risk of infection or revision following rotator cuff repair. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:1937-1944. [PMID: 37030604 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nicotine in tobacco products is known to impair bone and tendon healing, and smoking has been associated with an increased rate of retear and reoperation following rotator cuff repair (RCR). Although smoking is known to increase the risk of failure following RCR, former smoking status and the timing of preoperative smoking cessation have not previously been investigated. METHODS A national all-payer database was queried for patients undergoing RCR between 2010 and 2020. Patients were stratified into 5 mutually exclusive groups according to smoking history: (1) never smokers (n = 50,000), (2) current smokers (n = 28,291), (3) former smokers with smoking cessation 3-6 months preoperatively (n = 34,513), (4) former smokers with smoking cessation 6-12 months preoperatively (n = 786), and (5) former smokers with smoking cessation >12 months preoperatively (n = 1399). The risks of postoperative infection and revision surgery were assessed at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years following surgery. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to isolate and evaluate risk factors for postoperative complications. RESULTS The 90-day rate of infection following RCR was 0.28% in never smokers compared with 0.51% in current smokers and 0.52% in former smokers who quit smoking 3-6 months prior to surgery (P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression identified smoking (odds ratio [OR], 1.49; P < .001) and smoking cessation 3-6 months prior to surgery (OR, 1.56; P < .001) as risk factors for 90-day infection. The elevated risk in these groups persisted at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. However, smoking cessation >6 months prior to surgery was not associated with a significant elevation in infection risk. In addition, smoking was associated with an elevated 90-day revision risk (OR, 1.22; P = .038), as was smoking cessation between 3 and 6 months prior to surgery (OR, 1.19; P = .048). The elevated risk in these groups persisted at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. Smoking cessation >6 months prior to surgery was not associated with a statistically significant elevation in revision risk. CONCLUSION Current smokers and former smokers who quit smoking within 6 months of RCR are at an elevated risk of postoperative infection and revision surgery at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively compared with never smokers. Former smokers who quit >6 months prior to RCR are not at a detectably elevated risk of infection or revision surgery compared with those who have never smoked.

Abstract
Background There is no clinical gold standard for the indications for single-row (SR) versus double-row (DR) repair according to small, large, or massive rotator cuff tear size. Purpose To conduct a meta-analysis to compare the clinical outcomes and retear rates after arthroscopic SR and DR repair for rotator cuff injuries with different tear sizes. Study Design Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods On the basis of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria, the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and China BioMedical Literature database were searched for relevant studies published before November 1, 2021, using the following search terms: "Rotator Cuff Injuries," "Rotator Cuff Tears," "Arthroscopy," "Arthroscopic Surgery," "single-row," and "double-row"; a total of 489 articles were retrieved. Quality evaluation was conducted for all the studies that met the inclusion criteria. This study evaluated the Constant-Murley score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score, and range of motion (ROM) as well as retear rate. A fixed-effects or random-effects model was adopted to calculate the results and assess risk. Results A total of 10 clinical studies were included, with 404 cases of DR and 387 cases of SR. Regarding overall results, DR had better forward elevation ROM (mean difference [MD] = -4.03° [95% CI, -6.00° to -2.06°]; P < .0001; I 2 = 46%) and a lower retear rate (MD = 2.39 [95% CI, 1.40 to 4.08]; P = .001; I 2 = 0%) compared with SR repair. With regard to small tears (<3 cm), there was no noticeable difference on any of the 3 outcome scores between SR and DR. For large rotator cuff tears (≥3 cm), DR repair showed significantly better ASES scores (MD = -3.09 [95% CI, -6.19 to 0.02]; P = .05; I 2 = 73%) and UCLA scores (MD = -1.47 [95% CI, -2.21 to -0.72]; P = .0001; I 2 = 31%) compared with SR repair. Conclusion Our meta-analysis revealed that DR had better UCLA scores, ASES scores, and ROM in forward elevation and lower retear rates. In rotator cuff tears <3 cm, there were no statistical differences in clinical outcome between SR and DR.

Abstract
Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint, and rotator cuff (RC) pathologies are one of the main causes. The RC undergoes various tendinopathic and avascular changes during the aging process. Other degenerative changes affecting its healing potential make it an appealing target for biological agents. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated the potential to deliver a high concentration of several growth factors and anti-inflammatory mediators, and its clinical use is mainly supported by experiments that demonstrated its positive effect on muscle, ligaments, and tendinous cells. This review aimed to specify the role of PRP and its future applications in RC tendinopathies based on the current clinical evidence. Due to the different characteristics and conflicting outcomes, clinicians should use PRP with moderate expectations until more consistent evidence is available. However, it is reasonable to consider PRP in patients with contraindications to corticosteroid injections or those with risk factors for inadequate healing. Its autologous origin makes it a safe treatment, and its characteristics make it a promising option for treating RC tendinopathy, but the efficacy has yet to be established.

Abstract
Nonoperative and operative strategies exist to manage rotator cuff pathology. Although surgical repair is successful for most patients, others may experience retear or nonhealing of the rotator cuff. Several modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors are associated with an increased retear rate. The literature shows consistency and agreement regarding many of these risk factors, most notably, patient age, tear size, and rotator cuff muscular atrophy, whereas others remain controversial. It is important that shoulder surgeons are familiar with modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors associated with retear, to better advise patients and optimize their chances of success following rotator cuff repair surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between preoperative mental health disorders and postoperative complications, readmissions, and ipsilateral revision procedures among patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). METHODS A retrospective cohort study from 2010 to 2020 was performed using the PearlDiver database. Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases codes were used to compare patients with and without mental health disorders who underwent arthroscopic RCR. Mental health disorders evaluated in this study include depressive disorder, major depressive disorder, major depressive affective disorder, bipolar disorder, dysthymic disorder, adjustment disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Patients were matched at a 1:1 ratio based on age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, body mass index, and tobacco use. Rates of complications and subsequent surgeries were compared between patients with and without a preoperative diagnosis of a mental health disorder. RESULTS The 1-year preoperative prevalence of a mental health disorder from 2010 to 2020 was 14.6%. After 1:1 matching, patients with a mental health disorder who underwent arthroscopic RCR were nearly twice as likely to undergo a revision procedure (odds ratio 1.94, 95% confidence interval 1.76-2.14, P < .001) and more than twice as likely to experience conversion to shoulder arthroplasty (odds ratio 2.29, 95% confidence interval 1.88-2.80, P < .001) within 2 years of initial arthroscopy when compared with patients without a mental disorder. Patients with a mental disorder also experienced increased risk for 90-day readmission (1.9% vs 0%, P < .001) as well as multiple postoperative medical complications. CONCLUSIONS Patients with pre-existing mental health diagnoses experience increased rates of 90-day postoperative complications and readmissions following arthroscopic RCR. In addition, patients with mental health diagnoses are more likely to undergo revision repair and conversion to shoulder arthroplasty within 2 years of the index procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An all-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ASR) may result in less postoperative pain and better functional outcomes than the mini-open (MOR) approach. This meta-analysis provides an updated assessment of the current literature which compares the clinical outcomes of mini-open versus all arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS The main online databases were accessed in October 2021. All the trials directly comparing primary ASR versus MOR for rotator cuff rupture were accessed. Studies concerning revision settings were not eligible, nor where those combining the surgical procedures with other adjuvants. RESULTS A total of 21 articles were retrieved. Data from 1644 procedures (ASR = 995, MOR = 649) were collected. The mean follow-up was 26.7 (6.0-56.4) months. Comparability was found between ASR and MOR groups at baseline with regards to age (P = 0.3), gender (P = 0.7) and mean duration of the follow-up (P = 0.7). No difference was found between ASR and MOR with regard to surgical duration (P = 0.05), Constant score (P = 0.2), University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder (P = 0.3), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder (P = 0.5), VAS (P = 0.2), forward flexion (P = 0.3), abduction (P = 0.3), external rotation (P = 0.2), internal rotation (P = 0.7), re-tear (P = 0.9), adhesive capsulitis (P = 0.5). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic and mini-open rotator cuff repair result in similar clinical outcomes. Male gender and older age lead to greater rates of rotator cuff re-tears, while longer surgical duration was associated with a greater rate of adhesive capsulitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many previous research efforts have been made to identify prognostic factors for rotator cuff healing. However, majority of these studies were conducted with heterogeneous cohorts consisted of different tear characteristics. Healing properties of a rotator cuff tear may differ depending on tear characteristics such as tear size or fatty infiltration. Therefore, studies with subgroups confined by these variables may reflect more accurate results. This study aims to investigate predictive factors for rotator cuff healing in a subgroup with small- to medium-sized tears without significant fatty infiltration. METHODS This retrospective case-control study was conducted with 94 patients with small- to medium-sized rotator cuff tears. Mean age of patients was 56.0 ± 9.0 years and mean follow-up duration was 38.3 ± 8.1 months. Post-operative magnetic resonance imaging assessment showed that there were 75 (79.8%) successfully healed repairs and 19 (20.2%) healing failures. Age, gender, hand dominancy, body mass index (BMI), smoking habit, diabetes, corticosteroid injection, baseline clinical status, duration of surgery and biceps procedure were variables evaluated as predictive factors. RESULTS Both study groups showed significant improvement from baseline regarding clinical outcome measures (p < 0.05). However, successfully healed patients had significantly higher post-operative functional scores and lower pain scores (p < 0.05). The univariate analysis revealed that healing was significantly affected by age (p = 0.004), BMI (p = 0.01) and diabetes (p = 0.03). In the multivariate analysis, age (p = 0.02) and BMI (p = 0.02) were found to be significant independent factors for healing. Cutoff values for oldest age and highest BMI were 63 years and 28.1 kg/m2, respectively, for a successful healing according to receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis. CONCLUSION Healing failure after rotator cuff repair in small- to medium-sized tears is associated with poorer outcomes. Age and BMI are independent predictive factors for healing. A successful repair is more likely in patients younger than 63 years and with BMI less than 28.1 kg/m2. Surgeons should consider this information during risk assessment, decision making and patient counselling. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 31:2532-2541. [PMID: 35788057 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.05.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Full-thickness rotator cuff tears (FTRCTs) represent a common shoulder injury that, if untreated, can progress in size, become increasingly painful, and inhibit function. These lesions are often surgically repaired, with double-row arthroscopic repair often preferred for larger tears. Biological augmentation technologies have been developed to improve rates of postoperative radiographic retear and enhance patient-reported outcomes after surgical FTRCT repair. This study sought to confirm that augmented repair with a bioinductive bovine collagen implant results in favorable retear rates and patient outcomes with follow-up to 2 years. METHODS A prospective multicenter cohort study was undertaken to determine the efficacy and safety of augmenting single- or double-row arthroscopic repair of FTRCTs with a bioinductive bovine collagen implant. Of 115 adult patients participating, 66 (57.4%) had medium (1-3-cm) tears and 49 (42.6%) had large (3-5-cm) tears. Magnetic resonance imaging and patient-reported outcomes (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form [ASES] and Constant-Murley Score [CMS]) were performed and recorded at baseline, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years. RESULTS Mean duration of follow-up was 2.1 years (range, 1.5-2.9 years). Between baseline and 2-year follow-up, mean total thickness of the supraspinatus tendon increased by 12.5% for medium tears and by 17.1% for large tears. Radiographic retear was noted in 7 of 61 available patients (11.5%) with medium tears, and in 14 of 40 patients (35.0%) with large tears. In both groups, these tears primarily occurred before the 3-month follow-up visit (13 of 21 [61.9%]). Radiographic retear with the supplemented double-row (DR) repair technique was 13.2% overall (12 of 91 DR patients; 11.3% for medium tears and 15.8% for large tears). The minimal clinically important difference was achieved by >90% of patients with both medium and large tears for both ASES and CMS. There were 2 serious adverse events classified by the treating surgeon as being possibly related to the device and/or procedure (1 case of swelling/drainage and 1 case of intermittent pain). Nine patients (7.8%; 4 medium tears and 5 large tears) required reoperation of the index rotator cuff surgery. CONCLUSION Final 2-year data from this study confirm that using this implant in augmentation of arthroscopic double-row repair of FTRCTs provides favorable rates of radiographic retear and substantial functional recovery. The relative safety of the device is also further supported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A retear after rotator cuff repair is a common problem; however, there is little information related to the prognosis after a retear. In addition, some patients with retears have satisfactory outcomes, which raises the question of whether a retear leads to a poor prognosis. PURPOSE To identify radiological factors that influence the prognosis after a retear. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A total of 51 patients with retears confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging at 1 year after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with a minimum follow-up of 24 months were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether they achieved the minimal clinically important difference for clinical outcome measures. Range of motion and radiological variables, including preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) tear sizes, sagittal extent of the retear, acromiohumeral distance (AHD), and degree of fatty degeneration, were analyzed using magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS Overall, 36 patients were allocated to the good prognosis (GP) group and 15 to the poor prognosis (PP) group. The 2 groups had no significant differences in baseline demographics and preoperative radiological parameters. Postoperative range of motion was decreased in the PP group at the last follow-up. The AP and ML retear sizes decreased in both groups after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, but the retear size was significantly larger in the PP group (both P < .05). The AHD increased in the GP group (P < .001) but decreased in the PP group (P = .230) postoperatively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that postoperative AHD (P = .003), fatty degeneration of the infraspinatus tendon (P = .001), posterior (P = .007) and anterior (P = .025) sagittal extent of the retear, and change in the AP tear size (P = .017) were related to poor outcomes after a retear. However, change in the ML tear size (P = .105) and middle sagittal extent of the retear (P = .878) were not related to a poor prognosis. Also, further analysis showed that posterior (P = .006) and anterior (P = .003) sagittal extent of the retear were related to rotator cable involvement. CONCLUSION An increased AP retear size and decreased AHD were radiological parameters that were associated with poor clinical outcomes after a retear. In particular, patients who had posterior and anterior sagittal extent of the retear, possibly with rotator cable involvement and more severe fatty degeneration of the infraspinatus tendon, showed worse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether muscle atrophy (MA) and fatty degeneration (FD) have improved after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Therefore, the objective of this study was to perform quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement to evaluate MA and FD before and after surgery. Correlations of clinical outcome with changes in MA and FD were also analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2013 to March 2017, 40 patients who had no re-tear up to 1 year after ARCR were enrolled. MA and FD of supraspinatus muscle before surgery, at 3 days after surgery, and at 1 year after surgery were measured quantitatively in conventional Y-view and supraspinatus origin-view (SOV). Measurement items were muscle area (mm2), occupation ratio (%), fatty infiltration (FI, %), and fatty degenerative area (mm2). Postoperative clinical outcomes were measured at 1 year after ARCR. Correlation between measure values and outcome scores were analyzed. RESULTS Inter-measurement reliability was high (ICC = 0.933, Cronbach-α = 0.963). There was no significant change in MA in conventional Y-view at 1 year after surgery (Occupation ratio, p = 0.2770; MA, p = 0.3049) or in SOV (MA, p = 0.5953). FI and fat area measured with the conventional method on Y-view and showed significant differences (p = 0.0001). However, FI and fat area measured with the modified method on Y-view and SOV showed no significant difference (all p > 0.05). Postoperative clinical outcomes showed significant improvement compared to preoperative ones (p = 0.0001). However, there was no significant correlation between FD and FA (p = 0.653). CONCLUSION Quantitative MRI measurement was shown to be a reliable and valid method. MA and FD do not improve after ARCR considering postoperative anatomical changes of supraspinatus at 1-year follow-up. FD of the supraspinatus in conventional Y-view, but not in SOV, showed a significant change at 1 year postoperatively. MA showed no significant improvement. There was no correlation between improvement in clinical scores and changes in FD and MA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several factors have been reported to adversely affect clinical and structural outcomes after rotator cuff repair (RCR). However, the effects of smoking on rotator cuff healing and clinical outcomes remain controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and structural outcomes after RCR between smokers and nonsmokers. We hypothesized that there would be no significant difference in the clinical scores after RCR and that smoking would be associated with a significantly increased risk of retear and reoperation. METHODS This systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines using the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases. We included only articles in which patients underwent arthroscopic and open RCR, the clinical outcome scores were reported for smokers and nonsmokers, and the number of rotator cuff retears and reoperations were reported. Data relevant to this study were extracted and statistically analyzed. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale to assess the risk of bias in each study and calculated the I2 value to quantify the effect of heterogeneity. RESULTS Fourteen eligible articles were identified, with 73,817 participants (8553 smokers and 65,264 nonsmokers). The meta-analysis demonstrated that there were no significant differences in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (P = .10), Simple Shoulder Test score (P = .19), University of California-Los Angeles score (P = .09), or visual analog scale score (P = .19) between smokers and nonsmokers after surgery, but the Constant score was significantly lower (P = .005) for smokers. Smoking was significantly associated with an increased risk of retear (P = .002; risk ratio, 2.06 [95% confidence interval, 1.30-3.28]; I2 = 31%) and reoperation (P < .001; risk ratio, 1.29 [95% confidence interval, 1.20-1.40]; I2 = 36%) in patients after RCR. CONCLUSION Besides the Constant score, which was lower in smokers, there were no significant differences in the clinical scores after RCR between smokers and nonsmokers. However, smoking was associated with a significantly increased risk of retear and reoperation.

Abstract
Purpose The present study aimed to explore potential diagnostic biomarkers for fatty infiltration (FI) of the rotator cuff muscles after rotator cuff tear (RCT) and investigate the influence of stromal and immune cell infiltration on this pathology. Methods The GSE130447 and GSE103266 datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and gene set enrichment analyses were performed by R software. Two machine learning algorithms, random forest and multiple support vector machine recursive feature elimination (mSVM-RFE), were used to screen candidate biomarkers. The diagnostic value of the screened biomarkers was further validated by the area under the ROC curve (AUC) in the GSE103266 dataset. Murine microenvironment cell population counter (mMCP-counter) method was employed to estimate stromal and immune cell infiltration of FI. The correlation between biomarkers and infiltrated immune and stromal cell subsets was further analyzed. Results A total of 2123 DEGs were identified. The identified DEGs were predominantly linked to immune system process, extracellular matrix organization and PPAR signalling pathway. FABP5 (AUC = 0.958) and MGP (AUC = 1) were screened as diagnostic biomarkers of FI. Stromal and immune cell infiltration analysis showed that monocytes, mast cells, vessels, endothelial cells and fibroblasts may be related to the process of FI. FABP5 and MGP were positively correlated with vessels whereas negatively correlated with monocytes and mast cells. Conclusion FABP5 and MGP can serve as diagnostic biomarkers of FI after RCT, and stromal and immune cell infiltration may play a crucial role in this pathology.

Abstract
Background Given the complications involved in corticosteroid (CS) injections, subacromial platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections may provide a valid alternative to CS in the treatment of rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy. Methods We retrospectively reviewed a total of 98 patients affected by RC tendinopathy who were treated with either subacromial injection of PRP or CS. The PRP group received three injections of autologous PRP at 2 weeks interval, and the CS group received one injection of CS. The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) was the primary outcome measure, while the secondary outcome measures were the visual analog scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), and need for cuff repair surgery, which were analyzed at intervals of 6, 12, and 18 months. Results A total of 75 patients were included in the analysis (PRP, n=35; CS, n=40). The mean follow-up for PRP was 21.1±8.7 months and for CS was 33.6±16.3 months (p<0.001). Both groups showed improvement in WORC, VAS, and ROM. No significant differences were detected between the two groups in any of the primary (WORC) or secondary outcomes over 6, 12, and 18 months (all p>0.05). No adverse events were detected. Conclusions Both treatments improved patient symptoms, but neither resulted in a significantly better outcome in this series of patients. PRP can be a safe and feasible alternative to CS, even at long-term follow-up, to reduce local and systemic effects involved with CS injections.

Abstract
Background Rotator Cuff (RC) tendon tearing is a common clinical problem and there is a high incidence of revision surgery due to re-tearing. In an effort to improve patient outcome and reduce surgical revision, scaffolds have been widely used for augmentation of RC repairs. However, little is known about how scaffolds support tendon stem cell growth or facilitate tendon regeneration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the structural and biological properties of a bioactive collagen scaffold (BCS) with the potential to promote tendon repair. Additionally, we conducted a pilot clinical study to assess the safety and feasibility of using the BCS for repair of RC tears. Methods A series of physical, ultrastructural, molecular and in vitro tests determined the biocompatibility and teno-inductive properties of this BCS. In addition, a prospective case study of 18 patients with RC tendon tears (>20 mm in diameter) was performed in an open-label, single-arm study, involving either mini-open or arthroscopic surgical RC repair with the BCS. Clinical assessment of RC repair status was undertaken by MRI-imaging at baseline, 6 and 12 months and patient evaluated questionnaires were taken at baseline as well as 3, 6 & 12 months. Results The BCS consists of highly purified type-I collagen, in bundles of varying diameter, arranged in a higher order tri-laminar structure. BCS have minimal immunogenicity, being cell and essentially DNA-free as well as uniformly negative for the porcine α-Gal protein. BCS seeded with human primary tendon-derived cells and exposed to 6% uniaxial loading conditions in vitro, supported increased levels of growth and proliferation as well as up-regulating expression of tenocyte differentiation marker genes including TNMD, Ten-C, Mohawk and Collagen-1α1. To test the safety and feasibility of using the BCS for augmentation of RC repairs, we followed the IDEAL framework and conducted a first, open-label single arm prospective case series study of 18 patients. One patient was withdrawn from the study at 3 months due to wound infection unrelated to the BCS. The remaining 17 cases showed that the BCS is safe to be implanted. The patients reported encouraging improvements in functional outcomes (ASES, OSS and Constant-Murley scores), as well as quality of life assessments (AQoL) and a reduction in VAS pain scores. MRI assessment at 12 months revealed complete healing in 64.8% patients (11/17), 3 partial thickness re-tears (17.6%) and 3 full thickness re-tears (17.6%). Conclusion The BCS is composed of type-I collagen that is free of immunogenic proteins and supports tendon-derived cell growth under mechanical loading in vitro. This pilot study shows that it is safe and feasible to use BCS for RC argumentation and further controlled prospective studies are required to demonstrate its efficacy. The Translational potential of this article The results of this study indicate that this bioactive collagen scaffold has unique properties for supporting tendon growth and that it is non-immunogenic. The clinical study further confirms that the scaffold is a promising biological device for augment of human rotator cuff repairs.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tears are a common condition of the shoulder, and 20.7% of people with the condition have a full-thickness rotator cuff tear. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears and to provide evidence to support the accurate diagnosis of full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Studies from PubMed, Embase and Web of Science published before 30 January 2021 were retrieved. All cohort studies and cross-sectional studies on risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears were included. A meta-analysis was performed in RevMan 5.3 to calculate the relative risks (RRs) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) of related risk factors. Stata 15.1 was used for the quantitative analysis of publication bias. In total, 11 articles from six countries, including 4047 cases, with 1518 cases and 2529 controls, were included. The meta-analysis showed that age (MD = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.24 to 1.28, P = 0.004), hypertension (RR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.81, P = 0.0007) and critical shoulder angle (CSA) (MD = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.55 to 2.48, P < 0.00001) were risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Our results also suggested that body mass index, sex, dominant hand, smoking, diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease were not risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Early identification of risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears is helpful in identifying high-risk patients and choosing the appropriate treatment.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:2660-2670. [PMID: 34089878 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2021.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 79] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) consistently challenges medical staff and patients, and the incidence of retear after surgery is 10%-94%. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors that cause retear after ARCR and provide theoretical guidance for clinical intervention to reduce the occurrence of postoperative rotator cuff retear. METHODS The protocol for this meta-analysis was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021225088). PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for observational studies on risk factors for rotator cuff retear after arthroscopic repair. Meta-analytical methods were used to determine the odds ratio or weighted mean difference of potential risk factors related to postoperative rotator cuff retear. Stata 15.1 was used to quantitatively evaluate the publication bias of the statistical results. RESULTS Fourteen studies from 6 countries with a total of 5693 patients were included. The meta-analysis revealed that the risk factors for retear after rotator cuff repair were age, body mass index, diabetes, subscapularis and infraspinatus fatty infiltration, symptom duration, bone mineral density, tear length, tear width, tear size area, amount of retraction, critical shoulder angle, acromiohumeral interval, distance from the musculotendinous junction to the glenoid, operative duration, biceps procedure, and postoperative University of California Los Angeles shoulder score. CONCLUSION These findings can help clinical medical staff identify patients who are prone to retear early after arthroscopic repair and develop targeted prevention and treatment strategies for modifiable risk factors, which are of great significance for reducing the occurrence of rotator cuff retear after ARCR.

Abstract
Unsatisfactory failure rates following rotator cuff (RC) repair have led orthopaedic surgeons to explore biological augmentation of the healing enthesis. The subacromial bursa (SB) contains abundant connective tissue progenitor cells (CTPs) that may aid in this process. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of patient demographics and tear characteristics on the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) and nucleated cell count (NCC) of SB-derived CTPs. In this study, we harvested SB tissue over the supraspinatus tendon and muscle in 19 patients during arthroscopic RC repair. NCC of each sample was analyzed on the day of the procedure. After 14 days, CFUs were evaluated under a microscope. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was then used to determine the relationship between CFUs or NCC and patient demographics or tear characteristics. The study found no significant correlation between patient demographics and the number of CFUs or NCC of CTPs derived from the SB (p > 0.05). The study did significantly observe that increased tear size was negatively correlated with the number of CFUs (p < 0.05). These results indicated that increased tear size, but not patient demographics, may influence the viability of CTPs and should be considered when augmenting RCrepairs with SB.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Stump classification is significantly correlated with a retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. However, no study has evaluated whether or not the stump classification is correlated with retear in the suture-bridge or double-row repair techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between a retear and the stump classification in the suture-bridge and double-row repair techniques. METHODS Among 389 patients who underwent arthroscopic repairs of full-thickness rotator cuff tears using suture-bridge or double-row repair techniques, 326 patients (median age 67.0 years; range 25-85) were included. There were 51 small, 172 medium, 83 large, and 20 massive tears. Two hundred forty patients were treated with the suture-bridge technique, and 86 patients were treated with the double-row technique. The following variables were analyzed: age, sex, the Cofield classification, anteroposterior and mediolateral tear size on preoperative MRI, global fatty degeneration index, and the stump classification. Cuff integrity was evaluated on magnetic resonance imaging at 6 months after surgery. The patients were divided into the intact and retear groups and the relationship between the variables and retear was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The overall retear rate was 10.1%. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the independent predictors of a retear were the stump classification type 3 (Odds ratio: 4.71, p = 0.0246), global fatty degeneration index (Odds ratio: 3.87, p = 0.0030), and anteroposterior tear size (Odds ratio: 1.07, p = 0.0077) in the suture bridge technique. In the double-row technique, the independent predictors of retear were stump classification type 3 (Odds ratio: 7.82, p = 0.0348), and age (Odds ratio: 1.22, p = 0.0163). CONCLUSION The stump classification was significantly correlated with retear in the suture-bridge and double-row repair technique. Stump classification type 3 was indicated to be an important risk factor for predicting retear. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.
