Linscheid LJ, DeShazo SJ, Pescatore SM, Somerson JS. Superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) repair is associated with increased rate of subsequent rotator cuff diagnoses and revision surgery: a propensity-matched comparison. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:1821-1827. [PMID: 38325557 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.12.015] [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: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical management of superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) tears remains controversial. Current management utilizes 2 well-established procedures: biceps tenodesis and SLAP repair. This study evaluates the complications associated with arthroscopic SLAP repair vs. an open or arthroscopic biceps tenodesis to further elucidate optimal surgical management. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, the TriNetX database was utilized to evaluate patients who underwent repair of SLAP lesions (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code: S43.43) from May 15, 2003, to May 15, 2023. Three patient cohorts were evaluated: those who underwent arthroscopic SLAP repair (Current Procedural Terminology [CPT] code: 29807), those who underwent arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (CPT code: 29828), and those who underwent open tenodesis of the biceps (CPT code: 23430). Cohorts were propensity matched for type 2 diabetes, nicotine dependence, alcohol-related disorders, body mass index, and demographic factors such as age at event, ethnicity, race, and sex. The outcomes evaluated were disruption of surgical wound, deep vein thrombosis, mononeuropathy of upper limb, shoulder contusion, humeral fracture, sepsis, deceased, acute postoperative pain, revision, shoulder stiffness, and rotator cuff strain. All outcomes were evaluated within 1 year postprocedure. RESULTS A total of 11,081 arthroscopic SLAP repairs, 9960 arthroscopic biceps tenodesis, and 9420 open biceps tenodesis were matched. Compared with patients who underwent arthroscopic biceps tenodesis, those who underwent arthroscopic SLAP repair were 1.8 times more likely to undergo revision (2.9% vs. 1.6%, P < .0001). Compared with those who underwent open biceps tenodesis, patients who had SLAP repair performed were 1.4 times more likely to undergo revision (3.1% vs. 2.3%, P = .013) and 1.6 times more likely to have a subsequent rotator cuff strain diagnosis (5.1% vs. 3.2%, P = .0002). Compared with patients who underwent SLAP repair, those who underwent arthroscopic biceps tenodesis exhibited 1.3 times more instances of acute postoperative pain (5.2% vs. 4.0%, P = .011). Similarly, open biceps tenodesis exhibited 1.8 times more instances of acute postoperative pain (6.9% vs. 3.8%, P < .0001) and 1.3 times more shoulder stiffness (11.8% vs. 9.0%, P < .0001). CONCLUSION In the last 20 years, patients who underwent SLAP repair were associated with higher risk of revision surgery and subsequent rotator cuff strain diagnosis. Conversely, patients who underwent biceps tenodesis were associated with higher rates of acute postoperative pain and shoulder stiffness.

Patient Decision Making in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Discrete Choice Experiment Examining Graft Preference. Orthop J Sports Med 2023; 11:23259671221144983. [PMID: 36756168 PMCID: PMC9900657 DOI: 10.1177/23259671221144983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) and hamstring autografts are the most common grafts used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Patient preferences should be accounted for as a part of shared decision making. Purpose/Hypothesis The purpose of this study was to perform a discrete choice experiment that evaluated patient preferences toward ACL autografts. We hypothesized that there would be no difference in patient preferences between groups. Study Design Cross-sectional study. Methods Patients aged 18 to 25 years who underwent shoulder arthroscopy at a single institution between 2013 and 2019 were included in the study as a proxy for healthy controls. Patients with a history of ACL tear were excluded. A discrete choice experiment was developed from a literature search and used the following data points as they pertain to BTB or hamstring autograft: risk of developing a significant complication, return-to-play rate, risk of anterior knee pain with kneeling, and risk of additional surgery due to graft failure. Included patients completed a custom survey in which they were asked to choose between "surgery A" (hamstring) and "surgery B" (BTB). Results A total of 107 participants were included in the analysis. Of these participants, 39 (36.5%) chose surgery A (hamstring) and 68 (63.6%) chose surgery B (BTB). When comparing the hamstring group with the BTB group, there was no significant difference in age, sex, body mass index, race, level of education, or employment status. However, 80.5% of self-reported athletes preferred BTB (P = .008). When controlling for age, sex, and body mass index, patients in the BTB group were more likely to rate return to sport (risk ratio [RR] = 1.49 [95% CI, 1.18-1.98]; P = .001) and the risk of requiring additional surgery due to graft failure (RR = 1.26 [95% CI, 1.02-1.58]; P = .037) as highly important. Conversely, they were less likely than patients in the hamstring group to rate pain while kneeling (RR = 0.65 [95% CI, 0.98-1.05]; P < .001) and complication risk (RR = 0.75 [95% CI, 0.59-0.94]; P = .013) as important. Conclusion The study hypothesis was rejected, as patient values did affect ACL graft choice preference. Utilizing patient-selected values in a quantifiable way can benefit the shared decision-making process before ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
SLAP lesions can be significant pain generators in the shoulder. These injuries are the most common shoulder injury in overhead athletes, as repetitive overhead motion is the most common etiology of SLAP lesions. These lesions present a diagnostic and treatment challenge to patients and physicians. Factors to consider when discussing treatment options for SLAP lesions include age, type of sports activity, level of sports participation, and degree of symptoms. Nonoperative management is the first-line treatment for most young, active patients without history of trauma, mechanical symptoms, and/or demand for overhead activities. These conservative measures include rest, avoidance of aggravating factors, injections, and physical therapy focusing on correcting scapular dyskinesis, restoring range of motion and strength, and evaluating the biomechanical throwing motion. It has been reported that 40% of professional baseball players can successfully return to play after rehabilitation alone. Alternatively, operative treatment is reserved for failure of nonoperative treatment and those with persistent symptoms that prevent individuals from participating in sports activities or activities of daily living. The two most common operative treatment options include arthroscopic repair versus biceps tenodesis. Arthroscopic repair can be considered in younger athletes (<30 years old) and elite athletes who are involved in overhead sports (baseball, tennis, volleyball) and consists of repairing the labral anchor back to the superior glenoid rim with knotless anchor repair techniques. Alternatively, biceps tenodesis is the first-line treatment option for failed SLAP repairs, and as an index procedure, traditionally has been reserved for middle-aged individuals (>30 years old), patients receiving workers' compensation, nonoverhead athletes, or in those with concomitant rotator cuff tears. However, due to a relatively high failure rate of SLAP repairs, biceps tenodesis as an index procedure is gaining more popularity, as emerging evidence suggests encouraging functional outcomes and return-to-sport rates even in younger athletes.

Clinical outcomes and return to play in softball players following SLAP repair or biceps tenodesis. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 32:924-930. [PMID: 36442830 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.10.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Shoulder pain due to labral tears and biceps tendonitis is commonly found in softball players. Surgical options include labral repair and biceps tenodesis. Although past studies are limited by heterogeneous study groups from multiple sports, this is the first study that assesses clinical outcomes and return to play rates for fast-pitch softball players. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and return to play for fast-pitch softball players treated for a superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) tear and recalcitrant biceps tendonitis with a biceps tenodesis compared with a traditional SLAP repair. We hypothesized that the biceps tenodesis would have comparable outcomes with a faster return to play compared with SLAP repair. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis on fast-pitch softball players treated surgically for SLAP tear, recalcitrant biceps tendonitis, or a combination between 2001 and 2019 at our institution. Inclusion criteria were fast-pitch softball players who underwent biceps tenodesis or a SLAP repair with greater than 2-year follow-up. Exclusion criteria involved slow-pitch softball players, patients with less than 2-year follow-up, and patients who had undergone concomitant procedures on the ipsilateral shoulder at the time of SLAP repair or biceps tenodesis. Follow-up was either self-reported through OBERD, a patient-reported outcomes (PRO)-managing software, or achieved over the phone. Follow-up data included American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form score, Andrews Carson Score, Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow Score, Numeric Rating Scale for Pain, and our institution-specific return-to-play questionnaire. We statistically compared players who underwent biceps tenodesis or a SLAP repair, and compared pitchers with position players using Student t tests and Fisher exact test with statistical significance determined to be P < .05. RESULTS From 60 eligible patients identified, follow-up outcome data were successfully captured for 47 (78%). Of the 18 SLAP repair patients, 17 (94%) returned to full competition at an average of 7.9 months. Of the 29 patients who underwent biceps tenodesis, 27 (93%) returned to full competition at an average of 7.1 months. Statistical analysis of PRO scores for each group found no significant differences between any of the measures used to evaluate patient outcomes, including no statistical difference in pitchers compared with position players. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this study demonstrated comparable outcomes between SLAP repairs and biceps tenodesis procedures among our study group of fast-pitch softball players. There was no significant difference between RTP times between the 2 groups.

Biceps Tenodesis Has Greater Expected Value Than Repair for Isolated Type II SLAP Tears: A Meta-analysis and Expected-Value Decision Analysis. Arthroscopy 2022; 38:2887-2896.e4. [PMID: 35662668 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2022.05.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To use an expected-value decision analysis to determine the optimal treatment decision between repair and biceps tenodesis (BT) for an isolated type II SLAP injury. METHODS An expected-value decision analysis with sensitivity analysis was performed to systematically quantify the clinical decision. To determine outcome probabilities, a decision tree was constructed (repair vs BT) and a meta-analysis was conducted. To determine outcome utilities, we evaluated 70 patients with a chief complaint of shoulder pain regarding age, sex, Shoulder Activity Level, and visual analog scale score in terms of potential outcome preferences. Statistical fold-back analysis was performed to determine the optimal treatment. One-way sensitivity analysis determined the effect of changing the reinjury rate on the expected value of BT. RESULTS The overall expected value was 8.66 for BT versus 7.19 for SLAP repair. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that BT was the superior choice if reinjury rates were expected to be lower than 28%. Meta-analysis of 23 studies and 908 patients revealed that the probability of a "well" outcome was significantly greater for BT (87.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 74.9%-94.6%; I2 = 0.0%) than for SLAP repair (62.9%; 95% CI, 55.9%-69.3%; I2 = 65.9%; P = .0023). The rate of reinjury was 1.5% for BT (95% CI, 0.05%-33.8%; I2 = 0.0%) and 6.4% for repair (95% CI, 4.2%-9.6%; I2 = 24%), which was not statistically significantly different (P = .411). A total of 50 participants (mean age, 25.4 years [standard deviation, 8.9 years]; 76% male patients; 50% overhead athletes) met the inclusion criteria. Forty-six percent of participants had a high Shoulder Activity Level score. CONCLUSIONS Decision analysis showed that BT is preferred over repair for an isolated type II SLAP tear based on greater expected value of BT versus repair. Meta-analysis showed more frequent favorable outcomes with BT. Surgeons can use this information to tailor discussions with patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, meta-analysis of Level I-IV studies.

Biceps Tenodesis Demonstrates Lower Reoperation Rates Compared to SLAP Repair for Treatment of SLAP Tears in a Large Cross-Sectional Population. Arthroscopy 2022; 38:1802-1809.e2. [PMID: 34920004 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2021.11.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To use a contemporary cross-sectional data set to evaluate trends in surgical treatment for superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) tears and compare surgical outcomes with respect to 2-year revision surgery rates following index SLAP repair versus biceps tenodesis (BT). METHODS Patients diagnosed with a SLAP tear between 2010 and 2017 were queried using the Mariner PearlDiver database and stratified by demographic variables and surgical treatment with arthroscopic SLAP repair or arthroscopic/open BT. From 2015 to 2017, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) codes were used to track ipsilateral subsequent reoperation within 2-years of index surgery. RESULTS Between 2010 to 2017, 16.6% of 377,463 patients diagnosed with a SLAP tear underwent surgery (62.3% SLAP repair vs 37.7% BT). 52.4% of BT procedures were arthroscopic (47.6% open). The frequency of SLAP repairs decreased from 74.0% to 46.2% (61%), while the frequency of BTs increased from 26.0% to 53.8% (202%) during the study period. Patients under age 50 were more likely to undergo SLAP repair, and those undergoing BT were more likely to be over 50 with higher CCI and comorbidity risk. 6.3% of 16,186 patients identified with ICD-10 coding required reoperation within 2-years postoperatively. SLAP repair demonstrated a higher revision rate (6.8%; 95% CI, 6.3-7.4%) than BT (5.7%; 95% CI, 5.2-6.2%; P =.0002), (open 5.8% vs arthroscopic BT 5.5%). Arthroscopic debridement, including biceps tenotomy, revision SLAP repair, and revision BT were the most common subsequent procedures. Patients aged 40 to 49 had the highest rate of revision surgery (7.8%). CONCLUSIONS The treatment trend for SLAP tears is changing, with SLAP repair becoming significantly less utilized and BT now becoming the preferred option, especially in patients over 50. Arthroscopic and open BT demonstrated slightly lower risk for reoperation than SLAP repair. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, cross-sectional study.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the postoperative efficacy and the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic modified double‐row biceps tenodesis versus labral repair. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 56 patients with isolated type II superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions from March 2015 to November 2018. Thirty patients (male:female = 17:13) were treated with labral repair, and 26 patients (male:female = 15:11) were treated with modified double‐row biceps tenodesis. The average age of the labral repair group and the modified double‐row biceps tenodesis group were 42.8 ± 10.6 and 40.9 ± 10.2 years, respectively. Pre‐ and postoperative assessments with the visual analog scale (VAS), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores were compared between the two treatment groups. Additional outcome measures included patient satisfaction, the time to return to previous activities, workers' compensation status, and postoperative complications. Results At a 2‐year follow‐up, the tenodesis group showed significant differences in postoperative VAS (1.5 to 1.8, respectively; p = 0.008), patient satisfaction (92.3% vs. 46.7%, p < 0.001), and recovery time to return to their previous activities (6.8 ± 1.8 vs. 8.1 ± 1.5, p = 0.007) compared to the labral repair group; however, there was no significant difference in postoperative ASES and UCLA scores between the two groups. Additionally, one patient in the tenodesis group developed persistent postoperative stiffness, which was resolved by conservative treatment. In the labral repair group, two patients presented with persistent postoperative night pain, three developed persistent postoperative stiffness, and two required a subsequent capsular release. Conclusions Compared with the labral repair group, the arthroscopic modified double‐row biceps tenodesis showed more encouraging postoperative pain reduction, earlier recovery to previous activities, and higher patient satisfaction.

Abstract
The long head of the biceps tendon is widely recognized as an important pain generator, especially in anterior shoulder pain and dysfunction with athletes and working individuals. The purpose of this review is to provide a current understanding of the long head of the biceps tendon anatomy and its surrounding structures, function, and relevant clinical information such as evaluation, treatment options, and complications in hopes of helping orthopaedic surgeons counsel their patients. An understanding of the long head of the biceps tendon anatomy and its surrounding structures is helpful to determine normal function as well as pathologic injuries that stem proximally. The biceps-labral complex has been identified and broken down into different regions that can further enhance a physician’s knowledge of common anterior shoulder pain etiologies. Although various physical examination maneuvers exist meant to localize the anterior shoulder pain, the lack of specificity requires orthopaedic surgeons to rely on patient history, advanced imaging, and diagnostic injections in order to determine the patient’s next steps. Nonsurgical treatment options such as anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections should be utilized before entertaining surgical treatment options. If surgery is needed, the three options include biceps tenotomy, biceps tenodesis, or superior labrum anterior to posterior repair. Specifically for biceps tenodesis, recent studies have analyzed open vs arthroscopic techniques, the ideal location of tenodesis with intra-articular, suprapectoral, subpectoral, extra-articular top of groove, and extra-articular bottom of groove approaches, and the best method of fixation using interference screws, suture anchors, or cortical buttons. Orthopaedic surgeons should be aware of the complications of each procedure and respond accordingly for each patient. Once treated, patients often have good to excellent clinical outcomes and low rates of complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE The extent of shoulder instability and the indication for surgery may be determined by the prevalence or size of associated lesions. However, a varying prevalence is reported and the actual values are therefore unclear. In addition, it is unclear whether these lesions are present after the first dislocation and whether or not these lesions increase in size after recurrence. The aim of this systematic review was (1) to determine the prevalence of lesions associated with traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations, (2) to determine if the prevalence is higher following recurrent dislocations compared to first-time dislocations and (3) to determine if the prevalence is higher following complete dislocations compared to subluxations. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane and Web of Science were searched. Studies examining shoulders after traumatic anterior dislocations during arthroscopy or with MRI/MRA or CT published after 1999 were included. A total of 22 studies (1920 shoulders) were included. RESULTS The proportion of Hill-Sachs and Bankart lesions was higher in recurrent dislocations (85%; 66%) compared to first-time dislocations (71%; 59%) and this was statistically significant (P < 0.01; P = 0.05). No significant difference between recurrent and first-time dislocations was observed for SLAP lesions, rotator-cuff tears, bony Bankart lesions, HAGL lesions and ALPSA lesions. The proportion of Hill-Sachs lesions was significantly higher in complete dislocations (82%) compared to subluxations (54%; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Higher proportions of Hill-Sachs and Bankart were observed in recurrent dislocations compared to first-time dislocations. No difference was observed for bony Bankart, HAGL, SLAP, rotator-cuff tear and ALPSA. Especially when a Hill-Sachs or Bankart is present after first-time dislocation, early surgical stabilization may need to be considered as other lesions may not be expected after recurrence and to limit lesion growth. However, results should be interpreted with caution due to substantial heterogeneity and large variance. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Biceps tenodesis and tenotomy are increasingly being used as treatment options for shoulder pathology, but patient satisfaction remains largely unstudied. A systematic review of the MEDLINE database was conducted to identify clinical outcome studies on isolated biceps tenodesis or tenotomy that reported patient satisfaction. Within the 15 investigations that were included, the indication for tenotomy was rotator cuff pathology, whereas the indication for tenodesis was biceps pathology or type 2 superior labral tear from anterior to posterior. Patients undergoing tenotomy were 13.6 years older than those undergoing tenodesis (P<.001). Patient satisfaction was high following both procedures, at 85.6% following tenotomy and 92.3% following tenodesis. [Orthopedics. 2021;44(6):333-340.].

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic type 2 superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesion repair in the general population and compare clinical outcomes according to patient age and repair site. METHODS Between 2005 and 2018, patients who underwent arthroscopic repair for isolated type 2 SLAP lesions were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline characteristics, pre- and postoperative [1-year and > 2-year (final)] shoulder range-of-motion, and functional scores, comprising the pain visual analogue scale (PVAS), functional VAS, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, were evaluated. Return to overhead activities and subjective satisfaction were assessed at the final follow-up, and patients were divided by age [group YB (< 40 years] and group OB (≥ 40 years)] and repair site [group P (only posterior labrum repair) and group AP (anterior and posterior labrum repair)]. Overall patient outcomes were analysed and compared between groups. RESULTS This study included 54 patients (45 men) with a mean age of 37.1 ± 8.3 years. The mean follow-up was 90.8 ± 51.3 months. Two patients experienced early failure, and one patient had a ruptured biceps tendon during the follow-up period. Final functional scores improved compared to their preoperative scores in all patients, except three (all p < 0.001). Fifty patients (98.0%) were satisfied, and 39 patients (76.5%) were able to perform overhead sports without restriction. In 25 patients who attended more than 7 years of follow-up (mean, 11.3 ± 2.7 years), 21 patients (84%) had an ASES score ≥ 80, and all patients had PVAS ≤ 2. There was no significant difference in clinical outcomes between groups YB and OB. The final median external rotation was significantly more restricted in group AP than in group P (40 [25-65] vs. 60 [50-70], p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic type 2 SLAP repair induced good short- and long-term clinical outcomes, return to overhead activities, and subjective satisfaction in the general population, regardless of age, due to the careful evaluation of patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies. However, performing only posterior repair seems sufficient since anterior labral SLAP lesion repair can limit ER. Isolated type 2 SLAP lesion posterior repair only is, thus, recommended to reduce external rotation deficit risk and increase satisfaction, regardless of patient age. STUDY DESIGN Case series.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine the threshold for achieving maximal outcome improvement (MOI) on the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and Constant-Murley (CM) questionnaires that predict satisfaction after isolated biceps tenodesis without concomitant rotator cuff repair. A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed for patients undergoing isolated biceps tenodesis from 2014 to 2017 at a single institution with minimum 6-month follow-up. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine thresholds for MOI for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires. Stepwise multivariate logistical regression analysis was performed to identify predictors for achieving the threshold for MOI. A total of 123 patients were included in the final analysis. Receiver operating characteristic analysis determined that achieving 43.1%, 62.1%, and 61.4% MOI was the threshold for satisfaction for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires, respectively. Regression analysis showed that concomitant superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) repair was predictive of achieving MOI on the ASES and SANE questionnaires, whereas partial rotator cuff tear was predictive of achieving MOI on the CM questionnaire (P<.05 for both). Further, workers' compensation status, diabetes, history of ipsilateral shoulder surgery, and hypertension were negative predictors of achieving MOI on the SANE and CM questionnaires (P<.05 for all). Achieving MOI of 43.1%, 62.1%, and 61.4% is the threshold for satisfaction after biceps tenodesis for the ASES, SANE, and CM questionnaires, respectively. Concomitant SLAP repair was positively predictive of achieving MOI, whereas workers' compensation status, diabetes, history of ipsilateral shoulder surgery, and hypertension were negative predictors.

Abstract
Superior labrum, anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions are common and identified in up to 26% of shoulder arthroscopies, with the greatest risk factor appearing to be overhead sporting activities. Symptomatic patients are treated with physical therapy and activity modification. However, after the failure of non-operative measures or when activity modification is precluded by athletic demands, SLAP tears have been managed with debridement, repair, biceps tenodesis or biceps tenotomy. Recently, there have been noticeable trends in the operative management of SLAP lesions with older patients receiving biceps tenodesis and younger patients undergoing SLAP repair, largely with suture anchors. For overhead athletes, particularly baseball players, SLAP lesions remain a difficult pathology to manage secondary to concomitant pathologies and unpredictable rates of return to play. As a consequence, the most appropriate surgical option in elite throwers is controversial. The objective of this current concepts review is to discuss the anatomy, mechanism of injury, presentation, diagnosis and treatment options of SLAP lesions and to present current literature on outcomes affecting return to sport and work.

Abstract
Purpose To identify cost drivers of open biceps tenodesis, arthroscopic biceps tenodesis, and arthroscopic SLAP repair in the setting of isolated SLAP tears and to perform a direct cost comparison between the procedures. Methods The 2014 State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases from 6 US states were used. Cases with Current Procedural Terminology codes 23430 (tenodesis of long tendon of biceps), 29807 (shoulder arthroscopy, repair of SLAP lesion), and 29828 (shoulder arthroscopy, biceps tenodesis) were selected, excluding patients who were >50 years old or had a concomitant rotator cuff repair. Generalized linear models were used to model costs based on surgical and patient variables. Results The mean patient age was 41.8 years for open biceps tenodesis, 31.6 for arthroscopic SLAP repair, and 41.3 for arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (P < .001). Open biceps tenodesis had cost reductions of $5,664 over arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (P = .001) and $2,320 over arthroscopic SLAP repair (P = .043). Male sex was associated with $3,798 more in costs (P < .001), presence of ≥1 comorbidities added $1,829 (P = .002), and each minute in the operating room added $37 (P < .001). Operative time for open biceps tenodesis averaged 114 minutes, and both arthroscopic procedures averaged 94 minutes (P < .001). Low-volume facilities were associated with $5,536 higher costs for arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (P = .001). Conclusion In patients aged ≤50 years with isolated SLAP tears, open biceps tenodesis provides cost savings over arthroscopic methods of treatment. There was no significant cost difference between arthroscopic SLAP repairs and arthroscopic biceps tenodesis. Given the increased emphasis on cost containment, surgeons should be aware of the procedural costs associated with the treatment of SLAP tears. Level of Evidence III, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Biceps tenodesis is widely used as a primary treatment for long head of the biceps brachii pathology and superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions. However, rates and timing of full return to sports (RTSs)/duty have not been systematically analysed. This systematic review examines the literature to ascertain the rate and timing of return to athletic activity, and the availability of specific criteria for safe return to atheletic activity following the biceps tenodesis. METHODS Based on PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review utilised the EMBASE, MEDLINE, and The Cochrane Library Databases. Eligible for inclusion were clinical studies reporting on return to athletic activity following biceps tenodesis. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. RESULTS This review identified 17 studies including 374 cases meeting the inclusion criteria. The majority of patients were men 260 (69.7%), with an median age of 42.2 years (range 16-88) and a mean follow-up of 37.4 months. The overall rate of RTS was 217/269 (80.7%), with 43/59 (72.9%) returning to the same level. In overhead athletes, the overall rate of return to play was 39/49 (79.6%). Among military personnel, the overall rate of return to duty was 61/74 (82.4%). The average time to RTS was 5.4 (range 3-11) months. 10 (58.8%) Studies reported a recommended time window within which patients were allowed to return to full activity. Specific criteria for return to play were not reported in any of the identified studies. CONCLUSION While overall rate of return to athletic activity was reportedly high following biceps tenodesis, one in four patients were not able to resume athletic activity at the same level. At present, there is no objective assessment of when patients can return to full activity reported in the literature. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS Although the literature on the association of workers' compensation (WC) status with negative outcomes after orthopedic surgery is extensive, there is a paucity of evidence on outcomes in WC recipients undergoing biceps tenodesis. We hypothesized that WC patients would report significantly worse outcomes postoperatively on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). METHODS Functional and health-related quality-of-life PROMs and a visual analog scale score for pain were administered preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively to consecutive patients undergoing isolated biceps tenodesis between 2014 and 2018 at our institution. Thirty-eight WC patients were matched 1:2 to non-WC patients by age, body mass index, and operative limb. The minimal clinically important difference, substantial clinical benefit, and patient acceptable symptom state were calculated for all patients via anchor- and distribution-based methods. Rates of achievement and the likelihood of achievement were determined. RESULTS All patients showed significant improvements in all outcome measures (P < .001). WC patients reported inferior postoperative scores on all PROMs examined. WC status significantly predicted a reduced likelihood of achieving substantial clinical benefit for the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (odds ratio [OR], 0.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.17-0.81; P = .01) and the patient acceptable symptom state (OR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.12-0.65; P = .003) for the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score (OR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.10-0.61; P = .003), Constant-Murley Subjective Assessment (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.08-0.77; P = .016), and visual analog scale pain score (OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.16-0.47; P < .001). CONCLUSION WC patients reported inferior scores on all postoperative PROMs and demonstrated lower odds of achieving substantial benefit and satisfaction regarding improvements in both function and pain compared with non-WC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between preoperative mental health measured by the Short-Form 12 health survey mental component score and outcomes after isolated biceps tenodesis. METHODS The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons form (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Constant-Murley score (CMS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain were administered preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively to consecutive patients undergoing isolated biceps tenodesis between 2014 and 2018. Minimal clinically important difference, substantial clinical benefit (SCB), patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS), and rates of achievement were calculated. Patients were stratified by mental health status based on preoperative scores on the Short-Form 12 health survey mental component score. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate preoperative mental health status on achievement of minimal clinically important difference, SCB, and PASS. RESULTS Patients demonstrated significant improvements in all outcome measures (P < .001). Patients with depression reported inferior postoperative scores on all patient-reported outcome measures. Low preoperative mental health score significantly predicted reduced likelihood to achieve SCB (odds ratio [OR]: 0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.81, P = .01) and PASS (OR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.12-0.65, P = .003) on the ASES form, SANE (OR: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.10-0.61, P = .003), CMS (OR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.08-0.77, P = .016), and VAS pain (OR: 0.01, 95% CI: 0.00-0.31, P = .008). CONCLUSION Patients with depression reported inferior scores on all postoperative patient-reported outcome measures and demonstrated lower odds of achieving the SCB and PASS on the ASES form and PASS on the SANE, CMS, and VAS pain, compared with nondepressed patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment for superior labral tear from anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions is controversial. Thus, we aimed to investigate the national surgical trends in isolated SLAP repair in Korea. METHODS We analyzed a nationwide database from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service from 2008 to 2017. We investigated the trends in SLAP repair by time, sex, age, and the type of health care institution. RESULTS From 2008 to 2017, 27,850 isolated SLAP repairs were identified. Age-adjusted incidence rate of isolated SLAP repair increased by 692% from 1.07/100,000 in 2008 to 8.48/100,000 in 2012 (P = 0.005). However, the incidence rate declined significantly after 2012 (P = 0.032) and was 5.28/100,000 in 2017. Sex-specific incidence rate of isolated SLAP repair was 2.3 times higher in men than in women. The decline since 2012 was most evident in patients aged ≥ 40 years (P = 0.01); however, the incidence rates of isolated SLAP repair during the study period were similar between patients aged ≥ 40 years and those aged < 40 years. Moreover, hospitals with 30-100 beds had the greatest change in the number of isolated SLAP repair cases. CONCLUSION In Korea, the incidence of isolated SLAP repair increased dramatically until 2012; since then, it has declined. Although the decrease in isolated SLAP repair later in the study was evident in those aged ≥ 40 years, the incidence rate was still relatively high in patients aged ≥ 40 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence has specified indications for performing superior labral anterior posterior (SLAP) repair and biceps tenodesis (BT) for the treatment of bicipital-labral lesions in the shoulder. Trends in performance of these procedures are expected to reflect the growing body of research regarding this topic. PURPOSE To report practice trends for the surgical treatment of SLAP lesions utilizing the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) database, particularly in older patients. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS The ABOS database was retrospectively queried between 2012 and 2017 by Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for SLAP repair (29807), open BT (23430), and arthroscopic BT (29828). The patient population was excluded if any concomitant open shoulder procedure was performed. Trends over time were evaluated with respect to case volume, patient age, surgeon subspecialty, and whether a concomitant arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) was performed (CPT 29827). RESULTS A total of 9908 cases met inclusion/exclusion criteria: 4632 performed with RCR and 5276 performed without. The mean age of patients without RCR was 40.8 ± 13.8 years, while for those receiving RCR it was 55.0 ± 9.9 years (P < .001). In patients without RCR, there was a significant decline in rate of SLAP repairs performed over this period (P < .001). A significantly greater proportion of patients receiving open and arthroscopic BT were older than 35 years of age, compared with those receiving SLAP repair (P < .001). Within the RCR cohort, there was also a significant decline in concomitant SLAP repairs performed (P < .001) over the study period. With respect to BT, open BT was performed more frequently in the cohort without RCR (74.5%) than in the cohort with RCR (52.1%) (P < .001). Similarly, arthroscopic BT was performed more commonly in the cohort with RCR (47.9%) than in the cohort without RCR (25.5%) (P < .001). CONCLUSION The ABOS database revealed significantly reduced rates of SLAP repairs performed in recent times. Trends with age remained consistent over time, in that SLAP repairs were predominantly performed in younger patients. Open BT was performed more frequently overall, but with an increased proportion of arthroscopic BT occurring with RCR. Arthroscopic BT was performed much more frequently with RCR than without.
