Abstract
Background Diabetic patients are known to have poor wound healing and worse outcomes following surgeries. The purpose of this study is to evaluate diabetes status and complications for patients receiving open rotator cuff repair. Methods Patients undergoing open rotator cuff repair from 2006 to 2018 were identified in a national database. Patients were stratified into 3 cohorts: no diabetes mellitus, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Differences in demographics, comorbidities, and complications were assessed with the use of bivariate and multivariate analyses. Results Of 7678 total patients undergoing open rotator cuff repair, 6256 patients (81.5%) had no diabetes, 975 (12.7%) had NIDDM, and 447 (5.8%) had IDDM. Bivariate analyses revealed that IDDM patients had increased risk of mortality, extended length of stay, and readmission compared to non-diabetic patients (p < 0.05 for all). IDDM patients had higher risks of major complications and readmission relative to NIDDM patients (p < 0.05 for both). On multivariate analysis, there were no differences in any postoperative complications between the non-diabetic, NIDDM, and IDDM groups. Discussion Diabetes does not affect postoperative complications following open rotator cuff repairs. Physicians should be aware of this finding and counsel their patients appropriately.Level of Evidence: III.

Postoperative psychological factors and quality of life but not shoulder brace adherence affect clinical outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:1953-1959. [PMID: 37003425 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.02.138] [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: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the high prevalence, there is no consensus for postsurgical management after rotator cuff repair. We aimed to assess the impact of psychological well-being on patients who underwent rotator cuff repair. We also investigated correlations and possible predictors between patient demographics and adherence to the use of the shoulder brace and outcomes in terms of shoulder functionality and quality of life. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study with prospective data collection enrolling 120 consecutive patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy for rotator cuff tear repair. Each patient was clinically evaluated after a mean follow-up of 24.2 (±9.8) months using (1) the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scale, (2) the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), (3) the Rotator Cuff Quality of Life (RC-QoL), (4) the visual analog scale, and (5) the Medical Adherence Measure. RESULTS The final sample consisted of 100 patients (45 females, 45%) averaging 60.9 (±8.5) years. The average brace wearing time was 3.4 (±0.6) weeks, with an adherence superior to 80% in 84% of cases, and 96% of patients were living with family members. The mean postoperative DASH scores were 20.1 (±16.7), 23.4 (±25), and 18.9 (±21.5) for the general, work, and sport sections, respectively. The mean Medical Adherence Measure score reached 72.5 (±14.2) points, and the RC-QoL mean score was 30.4% (±20.5). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression scores' continuous mean values were 5.1 (±3.4) and 3.9 (±3.6), respectively. The DASH, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression, and RC-QoL scores directly correlated with each other, and all these questionnaires directly correlated with the visual analog scale scores. Moreover, we found a direct correlation (r = 0.204, P = .033) between the female sex and adherence to the brace and a direct correlation (r = 0.242, P = .015) between adherence to the brace and the number of weeks it was worn according to the medical recommendation. A correlation between lower educational qualifications and poorer outcomes was found. No correlation emerged between adherence to the brace and functional results. According to the regression analysis, diabetes was found to be a predictor of worse postoperative DASH scores (β = 0.245, P = 0.28). CONCLUSION A lower perceived quality of life was associated with worse functional results, anxiety and depression symptoms, and pain after rotator cuff repair surgery. The adherence to the use of the shoulder brace was associated with the female sex and a longer prognosis, but no correlation emerged between adherence to the brace and functional outcomes.

One-stage rotator cuff repair in stiff shoulders shows comparable range of motion, clinical outcome and retear rates to non-stiff shoulders: a systematic review. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:613. [PMID: 37608386 PMCID: PMC10464261 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04104-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One-stage treatment involving rotator cuff repair and shoulder capsule release is mainly used to treat patients with rotator cuff tears (RCTs) and concomitant shoulder stiffness. Despite the increasing attention to the efficacy and safety of one-stage treatment, controversy still remains. Therefore, this systematic review aims to summarize the indications, operation procedure and rehabilitation protocol, and compare the range of motions (ROMs), functional outcomes and retear rates of one-stage treatment for RCTs in stiff shoulders and non-stiff shoulders. METHODS Multiple databases (PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase and MEDLINE) were searched for studies that investigated outcomes after one-stage treatment for RCTs concomitant with shoulder stiffness compared with rotator cuff repair for RCTs alone, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses criteria. Descriptive statistics, including range of motion, patient-reported outcome and retear rate, are presented without meta-analysis due to the heterogeneity and low levels of evidence. RESULTS A total of 9 cohort studies were included, with 305 patients treated with one-stage treatment involving rotator cuff repair and simultaneous shoulder capsular release and 1059 patients treated with rotator cuff repair alone. Patients in both groups had significant symptom improvement and functional recovery after the one-stage treatment for the stiffness group and standard repair for the non-stiffness group, and most patients could return to normal life and work within 6 months after the operation. The retear rate in the one-stage treatment group was not higher than that in the rotator cuff repair group. No statistically significant differences between the two groups were observed in terms of range of motion and patient-reported outcomes in the vast majority of studies at the final follow-up, including the visual analog scale for pain, the Constant score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, the University of California Los Angeles Shoulder Score, the Oxford shoulder score and the Simple Shoulder Test. CONCLUSION One-stage treatment for RCTs in stiff shoulders provides comparable ROM and patient-reported clinical outcomes as rotator cuff repair for non-stiff RCTs. In addition, the rate of postoperative retear in stiff shoulder treated with one-stage treatment was not higher than in non-stiff shoulders.

Abstract
Background In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is associated with outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR); however, the relationship between outcomes and postoperative serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) after ARCR has not been investigated. Purpose To evaluate outcomes after ARCR in patients (1) with and without DM and (2) with DM according to their pre- and postoperative HbA1c levels. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Method Included in this study were 148 patients without DM and 35 patients with type 2 DM who underwent ARCR between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019. Clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated preoperatively and at the latest clinical follow-up. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging was performed after 12 months. In patients with type 2 DM, HbA1c levels were evaluated preoperatively as well as 6 and 12 months postoperatively; patients with an HbA1c level of ≥7% were defined as having uncontrolled DM. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the factors for retears after ARCR. Results The retear rates after ARCR were 22.9% (8/35) and 16.9% (25/148) in patients with and without DM, respectively. The retear rates were significantly higher in the 6-month postoperative uncontrolled DM group than in the controlled DM and non-DM groups (50% vs 8.7% and 16.8%; P < .05). The odds ratio for retears in the postoperative uncontrolled DM group was 5.555 (P =0.01) compared with the non-DM group. Among the patients with DM, in the uncontrolled DM group, 6-month postoperative hyperglycemia was superior in accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for predicting retears after ARCR than preoperative hyperglycemia (77.1% vs 62.9%, 75% vs 37.5%, and 77.8% vs 70.4%, respectively). Conclusion This study demonstrated the association between uncontrolled postoperative DM and an increased risk of retears compared with no DM or controlled DM. Furthermore, postoperative HbA1c values were correlated more closely with the risk of retears than preoperative HbA1c values.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether glycemic control affects the integrity of the repaired rotator cuff during the postoperative healing period after arthroscopic double-row suture bridge rotator cuff repair (RCR) METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) who underwent arthroscopic double-row suture bridge RCR at our institution between March 2016 and November 2019. We included the patients who evaluated for serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels within 1 month before and 3-6 months after surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging was conducted 6 months after surgery to evaluate the integrity of the repaired cuff tendon. Patients were categorized into two groups based on comparison between preoperative and postoperative HbA1c values: Group I (increased postoperative HbA1c) and Group D (same or decreased postoperative HbA1c). The correlation between preoperative/postoperative HbA1c, HbA1c increase/same or decrease (during the healing period), and post-RCR integrity was evaluated, including various demographic and radiologic factors. RESULTS A total of 103 patients were analyzed, group I was 47, and group D was 56, respectively. The retear rate of 51.1% (24/47) in Group I was significantly higher than 14.3% (8/56) in Group D (P < .001). HbA1c levels measured 3-6 months after surgery (mean: 6.9; 95% CI: 6.6-7.3 vs mean: 6.5; 95% CI: 6.3-6.7, P = .034), and the proportion of group I and group D were significantly different (75%/25% vs 32.4%/67.6%, P < .001) between the retear and healing groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified increased HbA1c as an independent risk factor for retear (odds ratio: 5.402; 95% CI: 2.072-14.086; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The glycemic control within 3-6 months after surgery when the healing process of the tendon was in progress had a significant effect on retear rate. In particular, the retear rate was higher when the HbA1c level increased at postoperative 3-6 months compared to before surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective case-control comparative study, Level III.

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 objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term functional outcomes and structural integrity of medium to massive rotator cuff tears at 10-12 years of follow-up after arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent (TOE) repair. METHODS This was a retrospective study of a consecutive series of patients who underwent primary arthroscopic TOE repair of medium- to massive-sized degenerative rotator cuff tears performed by a single surgeon between January 2007 and August 2009. Patients were examined at a minimum follow-up of 10 years, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to assess tendon integrity. The Constant score (CS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and pain level documented using a visual analog scale were compared between intact repairs and recurrent defects. Univariate analysis was performed to identify factors related to recurrent defects. RESULTS A total of 102 patients met the inclusion criteria, and 79 shoulders in 76 patients (74.5% of eligible patients) with a mean age at surgery of 55 ± 8 years (range, 40-72 years) were available for clinical evaluation at a mean follow-up time of 10.9 years (range, 10-12 years). The mean anteroposterior tear size was 3.1 ± 1.1 cm, and there were 41 medium (52%), 26 large (33%), and 12 massive (15%) tears. MRI was performed in 72 shoulders in 69 patients (91% of available shoulders) and revealed that 13 shoulders had recurrent defects (Sugaya stages 4 and 5). During the follow-up period, 3 patients underwent revision surgery, and the overall recurrent defect rate was 21.3%. A clinically meaningful improvement was observed in all outcome measures at the final follow-up regardless of tendon integrity. Patients with intact repairs showed superior outcomes compared with those with recurrent defects; however, only the overall CS met the threshold for clinical relevance. A significant linear correlation was observed between the Sugaya classification and all outcome scores except the CS pain subscale; however, the strength of correlation was weak. The presence of diabetes (odds ratio [OR], 8.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.25-33.2; P = .002), tear size (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.16-3.46; P = .012), and tear retraction (OR, 4.07; 95% CI, 1.11-14.83; P = .033) were associated with recurrent defects in the univariate analysis. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic TOE repair of rotator cuff tears provided improved clinical outcomes with a recurrent defect rate of 21.3% at 10-12 years after surgery. Future research focusing on tendon healing is needed as repair integrity on MRI correlates with clinical outcomes.

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.

[PMID: 33683392 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-021-06524-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE High-grade partial thickness rotator cuff tears (i.e., those involving at least 50% of the tendon thickness) are especially challenging to treat and various treatment strategies have been described. Prior studies have demonstrated equivalent outcomes between in situ tear fixation and tear completion repair techniques. However, it is unknown how repair of completed high-grade partial thickness tears to full tears compares to repair of full-thickness tears. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcome measures at least 1 year postoperatively between patients who had completion of a high-grade partial thickness supraspinatus tear to a full-thickness tear (PT) and those who had an isolated full-thickness supraspinatus tear (FT). The hypothesis of this study was equivalent retear rates as well as equivalent clinical and patient-reported outcomes between the two groups. METHODS A retrospective review of 100 patients who underwent isolated arthroscopic supraspinatus repair between 2013 and 2018 with a minimum of 1 year follow-up was performed. Patients were separated into two groups based on their treatment: 56 had completion of a partial thickness supraspinatus tear to full-thickness tear with repair (PT) and 44 had isolated full-thickness supraspinatus repairs (FT). The primary outcome was rotator cuff retear, which was defined as a supraspinatus retear requiring revision repair. Secondary outcomes were patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) including visual analog pain scale (VAS) and subjective shoulder value (SSV), range of motion (ROM) and strength in forward flexion (FF), external rotation (ER), and internal rotation (IR). RESULTS There was a significantly lower rate of retear between the PT versus FT groups (3.6% vs. 16.3%, p = 0.040). There were no significant differences between groups for all PROs, all ROM parameters, and all strength parameters (all n.s.). DISCUSSION The data from this study demonstrated that the PT group had a significantly lower retear rate at 1 year follow-up than the FT group, while PROs, ROM, and strength were similar between the two groups. Patients with PT supraspinatus tears can have excellent outcomes, equivalent to FT tears, after completion of the tear, and subsequent repair with low retear rates. These findings may aid the treating surgeon when choosing between in situ fixation of the PT supraspinatus tear or completion of the tear and subsequent repair, as it allows the treating surgeon to choose the procedure based on comfort and experience level. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.
