Increased latissimus dorsi and teres major muscle volume after anterior transfer for irreparable anterior superior rotator cuff tear: correlation with improved internal rotation strength. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024; 144:1491-1502. [PMID: 38316700 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-023-05192-3] [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: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION While the well-established correlation between increased muscle volume and enhanced muscle strength is widely recognized, there have been no studies assessing volumetric muscle changes in transfer surgery in the shoulder. This study aimed to evaluate changes in transferred muscle volume and their clinical implications in anterior latissimus dorsi and teres major (aLDTM) tendon transfer in patients with anterior superior irreparable rotator cuff tears (ASIRCTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study retrospectively examined 40 patients who underwent aLDTM tendon transfers for ASIRCTs between August 2018 and January 2022. Using ImageJ software, the LDTM muscle was segmented in T2-weighted oblique axial images, and total muscle volume (tLDTMV) of both immediate and postoperative 1-year were calculated. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between ΔtLDTMV and ΔASES scores, Δactive-ROM, and Δstrength. RESULTS The current study revealed an 11.4% increase in tLDTMV at 1-year postoperative. Patients were grouped based on postoperative ASES score: Group 1 (Optimal, n = 17) and Group 2 (Suboptimal, n = 23). Although tLDTMVimmediate postoperative values were similar between groups (P = 0.954), tLDTMV1-year postoperative value was significantly higher in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (P = 0.021). In correlation analysis, ΔtLDTMV showed significant correlations with ΔASES score (r = 0.525, P < 0.001), ΔaROM of forward elevation (FE) (r = 0.476, P = 0.002), ΔaROM of internal rotation (IR) at back (r = 0.398, P = 0.011), Δstrength of FE (r = 0.328, P = 0.039), Δ strength of IR at 90° abduction (r = 0.331, P = 0.037), and IR at side (r = 0.346, P = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS Significant increase in tLDTMV was observed at 1-year postoperative for ASIRCT patients. Notably, greater ΔtLDTMV exhibited a correlation with better ASES scores, increased aROM and strength in both FE and IR. Nevertheless, further research is required by employing more robust standardized measurement tools and a larger sample size.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024; 144:1473-1483. [PMID: 38285220 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-023-05196-z] [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: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treating global irreparable rotator cuff tears (GIRCTs) that involve both antero-and postero-superior cuff tendon tears could be a challenging problem. There has been limited joint-preserving treatment options in high-demand patients with minimal glenohumeral arthritis. The study aims to assess the clinical outcome of combined anterior latissimus dorsi and teres major tendon (aLDTM) transfer for patients with both GIRCTs and minimal glenohumeral arthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included patients who underwent combined aLDTM transfer for GIRCTs between 2018 May and 2020 October. Clinical outcomes include pain VAS, Constant, American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), activities of daily living requiring active internal rotation (ADLIR) score, active range of motion (aROM), strength, rates of pseudoparalysis or pseudoparesis reversal and return to work. Radiographic assessment included the acromiohumeral distance (AHD), Hamada grade, and transferred tendon integrity at final follow-up. RESULTS 23 patients (mean age: 64.7 ± 5.9 years [55-74]) were included and the mean follow-up period was 28.2 ± 4.3 [24‒36] months. Postoperatively, VAS, Constant, ASES, UCLA, and ADLIR scores significantly improved at final follow-up (P < .001). Postoperative aROM was significantly improved in forward elevation (FE) to 129° ± 29°, abduction (ABD) to 105° ± t3°, and internal rotation (IR) at back to 5.9 ± 2.5. Strength of both FE and IR were also significantly improved (P < .001). Patients with preoperative pseudoparalysis (2 of 4 patients) and pseudoparesis (6 of 6 patients) experienced a reversal. No significant change in AHD and hamada grade was confirmed at final follow-up. 3 patients experienced partial tear of the transferred tendon. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we found significant improvement in clinical outcomes with no significant progression of arthritis by final follow-up. The aLDTM transfer could be an alternative choice of joint-preserving treatment option for young and active patients with GIRCTs and minimal glenohumeral arthritis. However, large and long-term studies should be conducted to establish its adequacy. STUDY DESIGN Case series. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly patients and their surgeons may eschew shoulder arthroplasty due to concerns over patient safety and longevity. The purpose of this study was to review the current literature evaluating the clinical and radiographic outcomes of shoulder arthroplasty performed in patients 80 years and older. METHODS A literature search of the Embase, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane databases was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies evaluating the outcomes of primary and revision anatomic (aTSA) and reverse (RSA) total shoulder arthroplasty in patients 80 years and older were included for analysis. RESULTS A total of 15 studies evaluating 1685 primary aTSAs, 1170 primary RSAs, 69 RSAs performed for fracture, and 45 revision RSAs were included for review. The postoperative active forward flexion and external rotation ranged from 138° to 150° and 45° to 48° after aTSA and from 83° to 139° and 16° to 47° after RSA, respectively. Postoperative visual analog scale pain scores ranged from 0 to 1.8 after aTSA and from 0 to 1.4 after RSA. Ninety-day mortality ranged from 0% to 3%, and perioperative complications ranged from 0% to 32%. Late complications ranged from 5.6% to 24% for aTSA patients and 3.5% to 29% for patients undergoing RSA for all indications. Common complications included glenoid loosening (0%-18%) and rotator cuff tear (5.6%-10%) after aTSA and scapular notching (0%-40%) and scapular fracture (4%-9.4%) after RSA. Reoperation rates ranged from 0% to 6% after aTSA and from 0% to 13% after RSA. CONCLUSIONS aTSA and RSA in this population are safe and effective, demonstrating low rates of perioperative mortality and reoperation, durability that exceeds patient longevity, satisfactory postoperative range of motion, and excellent pain relief. Late complication rates appear to be similar for aTSA and RSA.

Abstract
Background Increased age is a well-known risk factor for development of osteoarthritis. Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is a common treatment option for patients with severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the septuagenarian, octogenarian, and nonagenarian populations and postoperative outcomes following TSA. Methods The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for all patients who underwent TSA between 2015 and 2020. Patients were divided into cohorts based on age: sexagenarians (60-69), septuagenarians (70-79), octogenarians (80-89), and nonagenarians (90+). Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify associations between age and postoperative complications. Results On bivariate analysis, compared to sexagenarians, septuagenarians were significantly associated with higher rates of myocardial infarction (P = .038), blood transfusion (P < .001), organ/space surgical site infection (P = .048), readmission (P = .005), and nonhome discharge (P < .001. Compared to septuagenarians, octogenarians were significantly associated with higher rates of urinary tract infection (P < .001), blood transfusion (P < .001), readmission (P = .002), non-home discharge (P < .001), and mortality (P = .027). Compared to octogenarians, nonagenarians were significantly associated with higher rates of sepsis (P = .013), pneumonia (P = .003), reintubation (P = .009), myocardial infarction (P < .001), blood transfusion (P < .001), readmission (P = .026), nonhome discharge (P < .001), and mortality (P < .001). Conclusion From age 60, each decade of age was identified to be an increasingly significant predictor for blood transfusion, readmission, and nonhome discharge following TSA. From age 70, each decade of age was additionally identified to be an increasingly significant predictor for mortality.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty renders better clinical scores at a minimum follow-up of two years for patients with no rotator cuff deficiency operated by the deltopectoral approach. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2023; 47:2285-2293. [PMID: 37453983 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-023-05872-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this multi-centre study was to report outcomes of a large cohort of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) at a minimum follow-up of two years and to determine patient and surgical factors that influence postoperative outcomes. The hypothesis was that surgical indication, surgical approach, and implant design would affect clinical outcomes significantly. METHODS The authors reviewed records of 743 RSAs in patients with primary osteoarthritis (OA) with or without rotator cuff (RC) tears, secondary OA due to RC tears, and irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (mRCT). The deltopectoral (DP) approach was used in 540 and the anterosuperior (AS) approach in 203. Pre- and postoperative Constant scores (CS) were recorded. Multivariable linear analyses were performed to determine if CS was associated with indications for surgery, surgical approach, or implant design. RESULTS Of the 743 shoulders, 193 (25.7%) were lost to follow-up, 16 (2.1%) died, and 33 (4.4%) were revised, leaving 501 for analysis. At a mean follow-up of 3.2 ± 0.9 years, net improvement in CS was 29.2 ± 17.0. Multivariable analyses revealed that postoperative CS decreased with age and was worse in shoulders that had preoperative rotator cuff deficiency and in shoulders operated by the AS approach. Multivariable analyses also revealed worse net improvement in shoulders operated for secondary OA due to RC tears or for irreparable mRCT, as well as shoulders operated by the AS approach. CONCLUSION This large multi-centre study confirms that, at two or more years following RSA, Constant scores are not associated with implant design, but rather with rotator cuff deficiency and surgical approach. Multivariable analysis revealed that postoperative CS was worse for shoulders with preoperative rotator cuff deficiency and for shoulders operated by the AS approach. Multivariable analysis also revealed that net improvement in CS was worse in shoulders treated for secondary OA due to RC tears and for shoulders with irreparable mRCT, as well as for shoulders operated by the AS approach.
