Systematic Review of Shoulder Imaging Abnormalities in Asymptomatic Adult Shoulders (SCRUTINY): Abnormalities of the glenohumeral joint. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2024:S1063-4584(24)01215-9. [PMID: 38876437 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2024.06.001] [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: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary objective was to determine the population prevalence of glenohumeral joint imaging abnormalities in asymptomatic adults. METHOD We systematically reviewed studies reporting the prevalence of X-ray, ultrasound (US), computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities in adults without shoulder symptoms (PROSPERO registration number CRD42018090041). This report presents the glenohumeral joint imaging findings. We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science from inception to June 2023 and assessed risk of bias using a tool designed for prevalence studies. The primary analysis was planned for the general population. The certainty of evidence was assessed using a modified Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) for prognostic studies. RESULTS Thirty-five studies (4 X-ray, 10 US, 20 MRI, 1 X-ray and MRI) reported useable prevalence data. Two studies were population-based (846 shoulders), 15 studies included miscellaneous study populations (1715 shoulders) and 18 included athletes (727 shoulders). All were judged to be at high risk of bias. Clinical diversity precluded pooling. Population prevalence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis ranged from 15% to 75% (2 studies, 846 shoulders, 1 X-ray, 1 X-ray and MRI; low certainty evidence). Prevalence of labral abnormalities, humeral head cysts and long head of biceps tendon abnormalities were 20%, 5%, 30% respectively (1 study, 20 shoulders, X-ray and MRI; very low certainty evidence). CONCLUSION The population-based prevalence of glenohumeral joint imaging abnormalities in asymptomatic individuals remains uncertain, but may range between 30% and 75%. Better estimates are needed to inform best evidence-based management of people with shoulder pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is increasing evidence that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor for the occur of tendinopathy. Therefore, this study is the first to explore the dynamic changes of the "gene profile" of supraspinatus tendon in rats at different time points after T2DM induction through transcriptomics, providing potential molecular markers for exploring the pathogenesis of diabetic tendinopathy. METHODS A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal (NG, n = 10) and T2DM groups (T2DM, n = 30) and subdivided into three groups according to the duration of diabetes: T2DM-4w, T2DM-8w, and T2DM-12w groups; the duration was calculated from the time point of T2DM rat model establishment. The three comparison groups were set up in this study, T2DM-4w group vs. NG, T2DM-8w group vs. NG, and T2DM-12w group vs. NG. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in 3 comparison groups were screened. The intersection of the three comparison groups' DEGs was defined as key genes that changed consistently in the supraspinatus tendon after diabetes induction. Cluster analysis, gene ontology (GO) functional annotation analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) functional annotation and enrichment analysis were performed for DEGs. RESULTS T2DM-4w group vs. NG, T2DM-8w group vs. NG, and T2DM-12w group vs. NG detected 519 (251 up-regulated and 268 down-regulated), 459 (342 up-regulated and 117 down-regulated) and 328 (255 up-regulated and 73 down-regulated) DEGs, respectively. 103 key genes of sustained changes in the supraspinatus tendon following induction of diabetes, which are the first identified biomarkers of the supraspinatus tendon as it progresses through the course of diabetes.The GO analysis results showed that the most significant enrichment in biological processes was calcium ion transmembrane import into cytosol (3 DEGs). The most significant enrichment in cellular component was extracellular matrix (9 DEGs). The most significant enrichment in molecular function was glutamate-gated calcium ion channel activity (3 DEGs). The results of KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that there were 17 major pathways (p < 0.05) that diabetes affected supratinusculus tendinopathy, including cAMP signaling pathway and Calcium signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS Transcriptomics reveals dynamic changes in the"gene profiles"of rat supraspinatus tendon at three different time points after diabetes induction. The 103 DEGs identified in this study may provide potential molecular markers for exploring the pathogenesis of diabetic tendinopathy, and the 17 major pathways enriched in KEGG may provide new ideas for exploring the pathogenesis of diabetic tendinopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotator cuff tears (RCT) is a common musculoskeletal disorder in the shoulder which cause pain and functional disability. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by impaired ability of producing or responding to insulin and has been reported to act as a risk factor of the progression of rotator cuff tendinopathy and tear. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the development of various diseases, but little is known about their potential roles involved in RCT of diabetic patients. METHODS RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) was used in this study to profile differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in RCT samples between 3 diabetic and 3 nondiabetic patients. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed to annotate the function of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). LncRNA-mRNA co-expression network and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network were constructed to elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms of DM affecting RCT. RESULTS In total, 505 lncRNAs and 388 mRNAs were detected to be differentially expressed in RCT samples between diabetic and nondiabetic patients. GO functional analysis indicated that related lncRNAs and mRNAs were involved in metabolic process, immune system process and others. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that related mRNAs were involved in ferroptosis, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, JAK-STAT signaling pathway and IL-17 signaling pathway and others. LncRNA-mRNA co-expression network was constructed, and ceRNA network showed the interaction of differentially expressed RNAs, comprising 5 lncRNAs, 2 mRNAs, and 142 miRNAs. TF regulation analysis revealed that STAT affected the progression of RCT by regulating the apoptosis pathway in diabetic patients. CONCLUSIONS We preliminarily dissected the differential expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in torn rotator cuff tendon between diabetic and nondiabetic patients. And the bioinformatic analysis suggested some important RNAs and signaling pathways regarding inflammation and apoptosis were involved in diabetic RCT. Our findings offer a new perspective on the association between DM and progression of RCT.

Park HB, Gwark JY, Jung J. Associations of normal fasting glucose levels and of insulin resistance with degenerative rotator cuff tear : Normoglycemia and rotator cuff tear. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:973. [PMID: 38102571 PMCID: PMC10724963 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06899-5] [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: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The upper normoglycemic range has been proposed as a risk factor for degenerative rotator cuff tendon tear (RCT), and insulin resistance has been suggested as a risk factor for tendinopathy. However, no research has established their association with degenerative RCT in the general population. This study aimed to determine whether fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance are risk factors for degenerative RCT in the normoglycemic population and identify the risk range for fasting glucose. METHODS This study included 418 normoglycemic participants from a rural cohort. Participants completed questionnaires, physical exams, blood tests, and MRI evaluations of both shoulders. Insulin resistance was assessed using a triglyceride/high-density-lipoprotein (TG/HDL) ≥ 3.5. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between fasting glucose level, TG/HDL ≥ 3.5, and other factors and degenerative RCT. The study calculated the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) to determine the more appropriate predicting value between the scale and categorical values of fasting glucose levels, and compared the AUCs using the DeLong method. RESULTS In the multivariable analyses, both scale and categorical values of fasting glucose levels, and TG/HDL ≥ 3.5 were significantly associated with degenerative RCT. Fasting glucose levels ≥ 90.5 mg/dL (OR: 3.87, 95% CI: 2.10-7.06) in scale value and 90-99 mg/dL (OR: 4.13, 95% CI: 2.87-8.12) in categorical value were significantly associated with degenerative RCT (P < .001). The AUC of the scale value of fasting glucose levels ≥ 90.5 mg/dL was 0.68. The AUC of the categorical value of fasting glucose levels of 90-99 mg/dL was 0.70. Because of the significantly larger AUC of the categorical value of fasting glucose levels of 90-99 mg/dL, those fasting glucose levels were determined to be independently associated with degenerative RCT (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS High fasting glucose levels within the normal range may link to increase insulin resistance and risk of degenerative RCT. Normoglycemic levels of 90-99 mg/dL and insulin resistance may be risk factors for degenerative RCT. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, prognostic study.

Abstract
Tendinopathy is a condition characterized by chronic, complex, and multidimensional pathological changes in the tendons. The etiology of tendinopathy is the combination of several factors, and diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor. Increasing evidence has shown that the diabetic microenvironment plays an important role in tendinopathy. However, the mechanism causing tendinopathy in patients with DM remains unclear. Our study found that ferroptosis played an important role in tendinopathy in patients with DM. In vitro, high glucose and high fat treatment was used to simulate the DM microenvironment. Results showed that such a mechanism significantly increased ferroptosis, which was characterized by mass cell death, lipid peroxide accumulation, mitochondrial morphological changes, mitochondrial membrane potential decline, iron overload, and the activation of ferroptosis-related genes, in tendon-derived stem cells cultured in vitro. In the animal studies, db/db mice were used in the DM model, and the db mice had severe tendon injury and high ACSL4 and TfR1 expressions. These phenomena could be alleviated by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1. In conclusion, ferroptosis is associated with tendinopathy in patients with DM, and ferroptosis targeting may be a novel approach for treating diabetic tendinopathy. Our results can provide a new strategy for managing tendinopathy clinically in patients with DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotator cuff disease is a common cause of shoulder pain. Comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia may be associated with rotator cuff disease, likely because of mechanisms related to vascular insufficiency. OBJECTIVES We performed a systematic review of the association of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia with the diagnosis of rotator cuff disease. METHODS Following systematic queries of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Science Direct, articles meeting eligibility criteria and reporting on the association of one or more risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia) and rotator cuff disease were considered. Meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively summarize the associations between each risk factor and rotator cuff disease. We assessed study quality with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and performed a qualitative assessment of risk of bias. RESULTS After a full-text review of 212 articles, 12 articles assessing diabetes, 5 assessing hypertension and 8 assessing hyperlipidemia were eligible. The odds of having rotator cuff disease was increased with diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 1.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.43-1.55), hypertension (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.19-1.65) and hyperlipidemia/dyslipidemia (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.42-1.55). Diabetes was also specifically associated with rotator cuff tears (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.07-1.52). Synthesizing assessment for risk of bias suggested that current epidemiologic evidence for an association was plausible for diabetes and hyperlipidemia but not hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia were associated with rotator cuff disease in our meta-analysis. However, the possibility of bias exists for all 3 co-morbidities evaluated and is likely highest for hypertension. High-quality studies with the ability to incorporate time since first diagnosis of co-morbidity are scarce and much needed.

Abstract
Introduction Rotator cuff pathology is commonly attributed to acromion morphology that is demonstrable in standard AP shoulder radiographs by measuring the critical shoulder angle (CSA), the lateral acromial angle (LAA), and the acromial index (AI). However, these parameters vary among races and countries. Therefore, our study aimed to get the local data on acromion morphology in patients with rotator cuff disease. Materials and methods MRI shoulder reports between January 2012 and June 2018 were reviewed. The study group consisted of 47 patients with rotator cuff injury with a partial or complete tear, and a control group of 37 patients with tendinitis or osteoarthritis and intact rotator cuffs. The CSA, LAA, and AI of both groups were measured on the anteroposterior shoulder radiograph. The risk factors for both groups and the acromion morphology were recorded. Results The CSA for the rotator cuff tear and the control group was 39.08° and 38.28°, LAA was 72.57 ° and 73.51°, and AI was 0.79 and 0.75. The acromion morphology differed in terms of gender, and only LAA was different among the different ethnic groups. There was a negative correlation between age and CSA, age and AI, LAA and CSA, LAA and AI, but a positive correlation between AI and CSA. Conclusion The CSA for rotator cuff tear patients in our population was 39.08°, LAA was 72.57°, and AI was 0.79. The acromion morphology was significantly influenced by age and gender.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tendon pathologies affect a large portion of people with diabetes. This high rate of tendon pain, injury, and disease appears to manifest independent of well-controlled HbA1c and fasting blood glucose. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are elevated in the serum of those with diabetes. In vitro, AGEs severely impact tendon fibroblast proliferation and mitochondrial function. However, the extent that AGEs impact the tendon cell transcriptome has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate transcriptome-wide changes that occur to tendon-derived fibroblasts following treatment with AGEs. We propose to complete a descriptive approach to pathway profiling to broaden our mechanistic understanding of cell signaling events that may contribute to the development of tendon pathology. METHODS Rat Achilles tendon fibroblasts were treated with glycolaldehyde-derived AGEs (200μg/ml) for 48 hours in normal glucose (5.5mM) conditions. In addition, total RNA was isolated, and the PolyA+ library was sequenced. RESULTS We demonstrate that tendon fibroblasts treated with 200μg/ml of AGEs differentially express 2,159 gene targets compared to fibroblasts treated with an equal amount of BSA-Control. Additionally, we report in a descriptive and ranked fashion 21 implicated cell-signaling pathways. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that AGEs disrupt the tendon fibroblast transcriptome on a large scale and that these pathways may contribute to the development and progression of diabetic tendinopathy. Specifically, pathways related to cell cycle progression and extracellular matrix remodeling were affected in our data set and may play a contributing role in the development of diabetic tendon complications.

Abstract
Background It is assumed that in patients with diabetic neuropathy, muscle denervation can result in shoulder disorders. Muscle denervation will lead to changes in muscle architecture, which can be assessed by quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS). The aim was to investigate whether increased muscle echogenicity, as a sign of neuropathy, is more often present in patients with shoulder pain who have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than in those without. Methods Sixty-six patients with T2DM and 23 patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) having shoulder pain were included. Quantitative muscle ultrasound images were obtained bilaterally from the biceps brachii, deltoid, and supra- and infraspinatus muscles. The mean echogenicity (muscle ultrasound grey value) was transformed into z-scores and compared to reference values obtained from 50 healthy participants. Associations between muscle echogenicity and clinical variables were explored. Results In painful shoulders of both patients with T2DM and patients without DM, mean echogenicity z-scores of all muscles were significantly increased compared to healthy controls. No significant differences in echogenicity between patients with T2DM and those without DM were found. In patients with T2DM, a distal symmetric polyneuropathy was significantly associated with increased echogenicity of all muscles except the infraspinatus muscle. Conclusions These findings indicate that patients with painful shoulders, irrespective of having T2DM, seem to have abnormal shoulder muscles. Future studies are needed to elucidate whether neuropathy or other conditions lead to these muscle changes.

Abstract
Tendino-myopathy, an unexplored niche, is a non-vascular unstated T2DM complication, which is largely disregarded in clinical practice, thus, we aim to explore it in this review. Literature search using published data from different online resources. Epidemiologically, reported prevalence varies around 10-90%, which is marked variable and unreliable. Clinically, diabetic tendino-myopathy is typified by restriction of movement, pain/tenderness, cramps and decreased functions. Moreover, myopathy is characterized by muscle atrophy, weakness and ischemia, and tendinopathy by deformities and reduced functions/precision. In tendonapthy, the three most affected regions are: the hand (cheiroarthropathy, Dupuytren's contracture, flexor tenosynovitis and carpel tunnel syndrome), shoulder (adhesive capsulitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy and tenosynovitis) and foot (Achilles tendinopathy with the risk of tear/rupture), in addition to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Pathologically, it is characterized by decreased muscle fiber mass and increased fibrosis, with marked extracellular matrix remodeling and deposition of collagens. The tendon changes include decreased collagen fibril diameter, changed morphology, increased packing and disorganization, with overall thickening, and calcification. Diagnosis is basically clinical and radiological, while diagnostic biomarkers are awaited. Management is done by diabetes control, special nutrition and physiotherapy, while analgesics, steroids and surgery are used in tendinopathy. Several antisarcopenic drugs are in the pipeline. This review aims to bridge clinical practice with research and update routine diabetic checkup by inclusion of tendino-myopathies in the list with an emphasis on management.

Causes of Shoulder Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients: A Review of Literature. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19106228. [PMID: 35627764 PMCID: PMC9140829 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19106228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Objective: Understanding the underlying mechanisms behind shoulder dysfunctions in patients with diabetes mellitus. Study Design: Systematic qualitative literature review. Participants: Patients with shoulder dysfunctions and diagnosed with impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus. Intervention: Published scientific literature containing evidence about the mechanisms of shoulder dysfunctions in the diabetic population. Articles were selected based on criteria containing diabetic population, shoulder dysfunction, methodological quality ≥ 6/9 and >20 subjects. Main Outcome measures: range of motion; questionnaires (QoL, UCLA-m, SPADI, DASH); blood glucose, blood HbA1C; calculated capsular stiffness (Kcap); calcification shoulder joint; shoulder dysfunction in patients with glucose metabolism disorders and diabetes mellitus. Results: We found 17 published articles with level 2 and 3 evidence. Multiple factors such as age, duration of diabetes mellitus (DM), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), advanced glycation end products (AGE), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) were shown to be associated with tendon changes and increased capsular stiffness (Kcap) conceivably leading to limited range of motion (ROM) or frozen shoulder. Decreased ROM and frozen shoulder have a significantly higher prevalence in DM than in non-DM. Conclusions: Based on the current literature we confirm a high prevalence of shoulder dysfunctions in patients with diabetes mellitus. The cause of the shoulder complications is unknown, and more research is mandatory to shed more light on the complex interplay between the multifactorial causes of shoulder dysfunction in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Objectives: To explore shoulder findings by ultrasonography and to find factors associated with shoulder ultrasonographic abnormalities in systemic sclerosis patients. Methods: A series of systemic sclerosis patients who attended the scleroderma clinic, Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Thailand, were prospectively evaluated for baseline characteristics, physical examination, and ultrasonography of both shoulders. Results: Seventy-four systemic sclerosis patients were enrolled in this study. Diffuse cutaneous type of systemic sclerosis was the most common type (62.2%). The three common systemic sclerosis–associated symptoms were skin tightness (28.5%), salt–pepper appearance (20.9%), and telangiectasia (11.6%). The prevalence of shoulder pain in systemic sclerosis patients was 43.2% (32/74). Sixty-eight patients (92%) had abnormal ultrasonographic findings. The most common ultrasonographic abnormalities were unilateral calcification inside the glenohumeral joint (45.9%), bilateral calcification inside the glenohumeral joint (36.5%), and bilateral supraspinatus tendinosis (28.9%). Skin edematous was the only factor associated with abnormal shoulder ultrasonographic findings. No association between shoulder pain and abnormal shoulder ultrasonographic findings was detected. Conclusion: Ultrasonographic abnormalities in the shoulder were common in the systemic sclerosis patients. The most frequent ultrasonographic finding of shoulder joints in systemic sclerosis patients was calcification inside the glenohumeral joint. Moreover, asymptomatic shoulder ultrasonographic abnormalities were prevalent in individuals with systemic sclerosis.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic factors have been linked to tendinopathies, yet few studies have investigated the association between metabolic factors and lateral epicondylitis. Purpose: To evaluate risk factors for lateral epicondylitis, including several metabolic factors. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We evaluated 1 elbow in each of 937 volunteers from a rural region that employs many agricultural laborers. Each participant received a questionnaire, physical examinations, blood tests, simple radiographic evaluations of both elbows, magnetic resonance imaging of bilateral shoulders, and an electrophysiological study of bilateral upper extremities. Lateral epicondylitis was diagnosed using 3 criteria: (1) pain at the lateral aspect of the elbow, (2) point tenderness over the lateral epicondyle, and (3) pain during resistive wrist dorsiflexion with the elbow in full extension. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for various demographic, physical, and social factors, including age, sex, waist circumference, dominant-side involvement, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and participation in manual labor; the comorbidities of diabetes, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, ipsilateral biceps tendon injury, ipsilateral rotator cuff tear, and ipsilateral carpal tunnel syndrome; and the serologic parameters of serum lipid profile, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, level of thyroid hormone, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Results: The prevalence of lateral epicondylitis was 26.1% (245/937 participants). According to the multivariable logistic regression analysis, female sex (OR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.78-3.43), dominant-side involvement (OR, 3.21; 95% CI, 2.24-4.60), manual labor (OR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.48-3.43), and ipsilateral rotator cuff tear (OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.96-3.91) were significantly associated with lateral epicondylitis (P < .001 for all). No metabolic factors were significantly associated with lateral epicondylitis. Conclusion: Female sex, dominant-side involvement, manual labor, and ipsilateral rotator cuff tear were found to be risk factors for lateral epicondylitis. The study results suggest that overuse activity is more strongly associated with lateral epicondylitis than are metabolic factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes has been associated with poor healing and prior literature has shown worse functional outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing both open and arthroscopic shoulder surgery. However, the effects of diabetes on perioperative complications for patients undergoing non-arthroplasty type shoulder procedures are not well defined. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of diabetes on 30-day complications following non-arthroplasty shoulder surgery. METHODS The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was used to identify patients who underwent open and arthroscopic shoulder procedures (excluding arthroplasty) from 2011 to 2018. Diabetic patients were identified and compared to a non-diabetic cohort. Demographic data and postoperative complications within 30 days were analyzed. Multivariable regression was used to determine the effect of diabetes on shoulder surgery. RESULTS We identified 99,970 patients who underwent shoulder surgery in our cohort and 13.9% (13,857 patients) of these patients were diabetics. Within the diabetic cohort, 4,394 (31.7%) were insulin dependent. Diabetics were more likely to be older, female, and have a higher body mass index (P < 0.01). Diabetics had a higher rate of associated medial comorbidities (P < 0.05). Diabetics were less likely to be smokers and on average had shorter surgeries (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis showed that diabetes was associated with increased risk for infectious and other major and minor complications; however, multivariate regression revealed that diabetes was only independently associated with infection (OR 1.33, P = 0.38). CONCLUSION While diabetes is associated with increased likelihood of infection following shoulder surgery, absent commonly associated comorbidities, they are not at increased risk for other 30-day postoperative complications.

Prevalence of Upper Extremity Musculoskeletal Disorders in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in General Practice. MEDICINES 2021; 8:medicines8020008. [PMID: 33535409 PMCID: PMC7912777 DOI: 10.3390/medicines8020008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2020] [Revised: 01/14/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background: One of the lesser recognized complications of diabetes mellitus are musculoskeletal (MSK) complications of the upper and lower extremity. No prevalence studies have been conducted in general practice. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of upper extremity MSK disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the Netherlands. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with two different approaches, namely a representative Dutch primary care medical database study and a questionnaire study among patients with T2DM. Results: In the database study, 2669 patients with T2DM and 2669 non-diabetes patients were included. MSK disorders were observed in 16.3% of patients with T2DM compared to 11.2% of non-diabetes patients (p < 0.001, OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.31, 1.80). In the questionnaire study, 200 patients with T2DM were included who reported a lifetime prevalence of painful upper extremity body sites for at least four weeks of 67.3%. Conclusion: We found that upper extremity MSK disorders have a high prevalence in Dutch patients with T2DM presenting in general practice. The prevalence ranges from 16% based on GP registered disorders and complaints to 67% based on self-reported diagnosis and pain. Early detection and treatment of these disorders may play a role in preventing the development of chronic MSK disorders.

Abstract
Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus have higher risk of developing shoulder pathology. However, only adhesive capsulitis is addressed in shoulder pain guidelines as a disorder associated with diabetes. Yet, patients with diabetes are at risk of having several other shoulder disorders, including focal neuropathy. Our aim was to quantify the presence of shoulder disorders using physical examination and ultrasound imaging in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) suffering from shoulder pain in general practice. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, patients with T2DM who had had a painful shoulder for at least four weeks were included. Patients filled out a questionnaire and underwent a physical examination of the shoulders and feet and ultrasound imaging of the shoulder. Results: A total of 66 patients were included, of whom 40.9% (n = 27) had bilateral complaints resulting in 93 symptomatic shoulders. Subacromial pain syndrome was most frequently diagnosed by physical examination (66.6%, 95% CI 51.6–72.0%; p < 0.0001), while ultrasound imaging showed that subacromial disorders were statistically significantly the most prevalent (90.3%, 95% CI 81.9–95.2%). Only two patients (3%) were diagnosed with neuropathic shoulder pain. Conclusion: When choosing treatment, general practitioners should be aware that in patients with T2DM the subacromial region is most frequently affected.

Abstract
Background: The impact of diabetes on clinical and structural outcomes after rotator cuff repair remains controversial. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and retear rates after rotator cuff repair in patients with and without diabetes. Our hypotheses were that adequate control of diabetes would decrease the retear rate after rotator cuff repair and that patients with diabetes would have worse clinical outcomes. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies comparing outcomes in patients with and without diabetes after full-thickness rotator cuff repair. Clinical outcome analysis included the Constant score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and the University of California–Los Angeles shoulder rating scale; we compared preoperative, postoperative, and change in functional scores from baseline to final follow-up among the included studies. The pooled relative risk was calculated using a random-effects model for retear rates. Clinical outcomes were also pooled using a random-effects model. Results: Overall, 10 studies were included. Compared with patients without diabetes, patients with diabetes had a worse preoperative ASES score (P = .009) as well as worse postoperative Constant score (final follow-up range, 9-103 months; P = .0003). However, there was no significant difference in the absolute mean change in clinical outcomes between patients with and without diabetes. Diabetes was associated with a higher retear rate (19.3% in patients without diabetes vs 28.2% in patients with diabetes; P < .0001). The retear rate according to the severity of sustained hyperglycemia in the subgroup analysis was 14.6% in patients without diabetes, versus 22.7% in patients with well-controlled diabetes (<7.0% of preoperative serum HbA1c level; P = .12) and 40.0% in patients with uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c level ≥7.0%; P < .00001). Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of retears after rotator cuff repair, and improved blood glucose control may reduce the risk of retears in patients with diabetes mellitus. Although effective glycemic control was associated with a decreased risk of retears in patients with diabetes, we could not prove causation because of potential bias and confounding in the included studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review evaluated and compared the effectiveness of non-surgical and surgical interventions for managing shoulder pain in patients with diabetes. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, EMBASE, Sport Discus, and Cochrane library were searched for studies published in the last 20 years. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and cohort studies that assessed shoulder pain in patients with diabetes and implemented one or a combination of non-surgical and surgical interventions were eligible for inclusion. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Structured Effectiveness Quality Evaluation Scale (SEQES) tool. Data extracted from the eligible studies included study design, patient characteristics, duration of symptoms, type of interventions, outcome measures used to assess pain, follow-up intervals, and research findings. RESULTS A narrative synthesis with effect sizes (ES) or between-group differences was conducted. A total of 25 (14 non-surgical and 11 surgical) studies met the inclusion criteria. Six studies addressed physiotherapeutic interventions (three RCTs and three cohorts - ES = 0.07-1.3), three studies assessed the effect of steroid injections (two RCTs and one cohort - ES = 0.2-0.4), two cohorts addressed arthrographic capsular distension (between-group difference of 1.1 on Visual Analogue Scale), two cohorts addressed MUA, and one RCT addressed suprascapular nerve block (ES = 1-6). For the surgical studies, six cohorts addressed arthroscopic capsular release (ES = 0.2), three cohorts addressed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ES = 0.05-0.5), and one cohort addressed arthroplasty (ES = 0.3). CONCLUSION Moderate- to very-low-quality evidence suggests large effects of physiotherapy modalities plus exercise and suprascapular nerve block, and trivial to small effects for surgical interventions for improving shoulder pain in patients with diabetes. Future well-designed studies are needed to provide accurate estimates of the true effects of these interventions on improving shoulder pain in patients with diabetes.Implications For RehabilitationShoulder pain may lead to disability in patients with diabetes.We recommend the use of physiotherapy interventions to reduce shoulder pain.Corticosteroid injections are recommended for short-term shoulder pain relief.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) had been reported to be associated with tendinopathy. However, the underlying mechanisms of diabetic tendinopathy still remain largely to be discovered. The purpose of this study was to develop insulin resistance (IR) model on primary human tenocytes (hTeno) culture with tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) treatment to study tenocytes homeostasis as an implication for diabetic tendinopathy. Methods hTenowere isolated from human hamstring tendon. Presence of insulin receptor beta (INSR-β) on normal tendon tissues and the hTeno monolayer culture were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. The presence of Glucose Transporter Type 1 (GLUT1) and Glucose Transporter Type 4 (GLUT4) on the hTeno monolayer culture were also analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Primary hTeno were treated with 0.008, 0.08, 0.8 and 8.0 µM of TNF-α, with and without insulin supplement. Outcome measures include 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino]-2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-NBDG) assay to determine the glucose uptake activity; colourimetric total collagen assay to quantify the total collagen expression levels; COL-I ELISA assay to measure the COL-I expression levels and real-time qPCR to analyze the mRNA gene expressions levels of Scleraxis (SCX), Mohawk (MKX), type I collagen (COL1A1), type III collagen (COL3A1), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 and MMP-13 in hTeno when treated with TNF-α. Apoptosis assay for hTeno induced with TNF-α was conducted using Annexin-V FITC flow cytometry analysis. Results Immunofluorescence imaging showed the presence of INSR-β on the hTeno in the human Achilles tendon tissues and in the hTeno in monolayer culture. GLUT1 and GLUT4 were both positively expressed in the hTeno. TNF-α significantly reduced the insulin-mediated 2-NBDG uptake in all the tested concentrations, especially at 0.008 µM. Total collagen expression levels and COL-I expression levels in hTeno were also significantly reduced in hTeno treated with 0.008 µM of TNF-α. The SCX, MKX and COL1A1 mRNA expression levels were significantly downregulated in all TNF-α treated hTeno, whereas the COL3A1, MMP-9 and MMP-13 were significantly upregulated in the TNF–α treated cells. TNF-α progressively increased the apoptotic cells at 48 and 72 h. Conclusion At 0.008 µM of TNF-α, an IR condition was induced in hTeno, supported with the significant reduction in glucose uptake, as well as significantly reduced total collagen, specifically COL-I expression levels, downregulation of candidate tenogenic markers genes (SCX and MKX), and upregulation of ECM catabolic genes (MMP-9 and MMP-13). Development of novel IR model in hTeno provides an insight on how tendon homeostasis could be affected and can be used as a tool for further discovering the effects on downstream molecular pathways, as the implication for diabetic tendinopathy.

The Hyperechoic Appearance of the Deltoid Muscle on Shoulder Ultrasound Imaging as a Predictor of Diabetes and Prediabetes. JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE 2020; 39:323-329. [PMID: 31423604 DOI: 10.1002/jum.15110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2019] [Revised: 06/27/2019] [Accepted: 07/07/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the ultrasound appearance of the deltoid muscle in diabetic patients differs from that in obese nondiabetic patients. METHODS Ultrasound images of the deltoid muscle from 137 type 2 diabetic patients (including 13 prediabetic patients) and 49 obese nondiabetic patients were blindly reviewed by 2 musculoskeletal radiologists, and by a third when arbitration was needed, to determine whether the appearance was "normal," "suspected diabetes," or "definite diabetes." Age, sex, race, body mass index (BMI), insulin use, and hemoglobin A1c were analyzed. This retrospective study included patients presenting between October 2005 and November 2017. Statistical analyses included a 2-sided sample t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test and a χ2 or Fisher exact test. Statistical significance was defined as P < .05. RESULTS The type 2 diabetic patients included 98 women and 39 men aged 29 to 92 years, and the nondiabetic patients included 19 women and 30 men aged 18 to 75 years. A consensus diagnosis of definite diabetes by the musculoskeletal radiologists based on a hyperechoic deltoid was a powerful predictor of diabetes, with a positive predictive value of 89%. A hyperechoic deltoid was also a powerful predictor of prediabetes. Of the 13 prediabetic patients, all had the same hyperechoic appearance of the diabetic deltoid, regardless of BMI. Although obese diabetic patients more often had a diagnosis of definite diabetes, the BMI alone could not explain the increased echogenicity, as obese nondiabetic patients' deltoid muscles did not appear as hyperechoic and were correctly categorized as not having definite diabetes with 82% specificity. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic hyperechoic deltoid appearance is a strong predictor of both diabetes and prediabetes and differs from that of obese nondiabetic patients.

Abstract
Over 300,000 tendon repairs are performed annually in the United States to repair damage to tendons as a result of either acute trauma or chronic tendinopathy. Individuals with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are four times more likely to experience tendinopathy, and up to five times more likely to experience a tendon tear or rupture than non-diabetics. As nearly 10% of the US population is diabetic, with an additional 33% pre-diabetic, this is a particularly problematic health care challenge. Tendon healing in general is challenging and often unsatisfactory due to the formation of mechanically inferior scar-tissue rather than regeneration of native tendon structure. In T2DM tendons, there is evidence of an amplified scar tissue response, which may be associated with the increased the risk of rupture or impaired restoration of range of motion. Despite the dramatic effect of T2DM on tendon function and outcomes following injury, there are few therapies available to promote improved healing in these patients. Several recent studies have enhanced our understanding of the pro-inflammatory environment of T2DM healing and have assessed potential treatment approaches to mitigate pathological progression in pre-clinical models of diabetic tendinopathy. This review discusses the current state of knowledge of diabetic tendon healing from molecular to mechanical disruptions and identifies promising approaches and critical knowledge gaps as the field moves toward identification of novel therapeutic strategies to maintain or restore tendon function in diabetic patients. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Objectives Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) is a common upper limb complaint. It has been suggested that this condition is more common among people with cardiometabolic risk factors. This systematic review has synthesised evidence from case–control, cross-sectional and cohort studies on the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and RCRSP. Design and data sources Five medical databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CINAHL and AMED) and reference checking methods were used to identify all relevant English articles that considered MetS and RCRSP. Studies were appraised using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Two reviewers performed critical appraisal and data extraction. Narrative synthesis was performed via content analysis of statistically significant associations. Results Three cross-sectional, two case–control and one cohort study met the inclusion criteria, providing a total of 1187 individuals with RCRSP. Heterogeneity in methodology and RCRSP or MetS definition precluded a meaningful meta-analysis. Four of the included studies identified associations between the prevalence of MetS and RCRSP. Studies consistently identified independent cardiometabolic risk factors associated with RCRSP. All studies were level III evidence. Summary and conclusion The low-moderate quality evidence included in this review suggests an association between MetS and RCRSP. Most studies demonstrated moderate quality on appraisal. The direction of association and cardiometabolic factors influencing should be investigated by longitudinal and treatment studies. These preliminary conclusions and clinical utility should be treated with caution due to limitations of the evidence base.

Abstract
Debilitating cases of tendon pain and degeneration affect the majority of diabetic individuals. The high rate of tendon degeneration persists even when glucose levels are well controlled, suggesting that other mechanisms may drive tendon degeneration in diabetic patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of advanced glycation end-products on tendon fibroblasts to further our mechanistic understanding of the development and progression of diabetic tendinopathy. We proposed that advanced glycation end-products would induce limitations to mitochondrial function and proliferative capacity in tendon-derived fibroblasts, restricting their ability to maintain biosynthesis of tendon extracellular matrix. Using an in-vitro cell culture system, rat Achilles tendon fibroblasts were treated with glycolaldehyde-derived advanced glycation end-products (0, 50, 100, and 200 μg/ml) for 48 hours in normal glucose (5.5 mM) and high glucose (25 mM) conditions. We demonstrate that tendon fibroblasts treated with advanced glycation end-products display reduced ATP production, electron transport efficiency, and proliferative capacity. These impairments were coupled with alterations in mitochondrial DNA content and expression of genes associated with extracellular matrix remodeling, mitochondrial energy metabolism, and apoptosis. Our findings suggest that advanced glycation end-products disrupt tendon fibroblast homeostasis and may be involved in the development and progression of diabetic tendinopathy.

Abstract
Imaging tests perform relatively well in the detection of rotator cuff tears (RCTs), exhibiting high sensitivity and specificity, mainly among larger full-thickness tears (tear width >1 cm). However, these tests are relatively less accurate in the detection of small full-thickness tears and partial-thickness tears. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of percutaneous ultrasound-guided tendon lesionography (PUTL) using the SonoVue and the value of percutaneous shoulder puncture via contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-a combination of percutaneous ultrasound-guided subacromial bursography (PUSB) and PUTL-in the detection of RCT subtypes. Conventional ultrasound (US), CEUS and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed and prospectively evaluated in 97 patients who had undergone arthroscopy because of suspected RCTs. The rates of detection of the various subtypes of RCTs using CEUS, PUSB, PUTL, US and MRI were evaluated. The RCT subtype detection rate via CEUS was significantly higher than the rates via US and MRI (96.9%, 74.2% and 76.3%, respectively), as were the detection rates for small full-thickness tears combined with partial-thickness tears (98.2%, 60.0% and 61.8%, respectively). The detection rate with PUSB was significantly higher than those with US and MRI in assessing full-thickness tears combined with bursal-side partial-thickness tears (93.9%, 65.3% and 65.3%, respectively). The detection rate with PUTL was significantly higher than those with US and MRI in assessing the corresponding subtypes (100.0%, 69.2% and 76.9%, respectively). On the basis of our findings, we consider PUTL a tolerable and feasible procedure. Percutaneous shoulder puncture using CEUS can be an effective alternative method with better diagnostic performance than US and MRI for the detection of RCT subtypes.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are formed in vivo from the nonenzymatic reaction between sugars and proteins. AGEs accumulate in long-lived tissues like tendons, cross-linking neighboring collagen molecules, and are in part complicit in connective tissue pathologies experienced in aging and with diabetes. We have previously described discrete plasticity: a characteristic form of nanoscale collagen fibril damage consisting of serial fibril kinking and collagen denaturation that occurs in some mechanically overloaded tendons. We suspect that this failure mechanism may be an adaptive trait of collagen fibrils and have published evidence that inflammatory cells may be able to recognize and digest the denatured collagen produced by overload. In this study, we treated bovine tail tendons with ribose to simulate long-term AGE cross-linking in vitro. We hypothesized that a high degree of cross-linking would inhibit the intermolecular sliding thought to be necessary for discrete plasticity to occur. Tendons were mechanically overloaded, and properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and scanning election microscopy. Ribose cross-linking treatment altered the mechanical response of tendons after the yield point, significantly decreasing postyield extensibility and strain energy capacity before rupture. Coincident with altered mechanics, ribose cross-linking completely inhibited the discrete plasticity failure mechanism of tendon. Our results suggest that discrete plasticity, which may be an important physiological mechanism, becomes pathologically disabled by the formation of AGE cross-links in aging and diabetes. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We have previously shown that mechanically overloaded collagen fibrils in mammalian tendons accrue nanoscaled damage. This includes development of a characteristic kinking morphology within a shell of denatured collagen: discrete plasticity. Here, using a ribose-incubation model, we show that advanced glycation end-product cross-linking associated with aging and diabetes completely inhibits this mechanism. Since discrete plasticity appears to cue cellular remodeling, this result has important implications for diabetic tendinopathy.

Abstract
Background Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) often suffered with many musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendon rupture and tendinopathy. However, the understanding of the pathogenesis of these alternations is limited. This study was designed to investigate the role of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) in histopathological alterations of DM tendons. Methods Forty-two SD rats were randomly and equally divided into a diabetes group (DG) and control group (CG). DM was induced by streptozotocin (65 mg/kg). The patellar tendons were isolated at weeks 1, 2, and 4 for histological analysis. TDSCs were isolated at week 2 for osteo-chondrogenic differentiation analysis. Mann-Whitney U test was used with SPSS. p < 0.050 was statistically significant. Results Micro-tears of collagen fibers and altered appearance of tendon cells were observed in DG tendons. DG tendons exhibited significantly higher expression of OPN, OCN, SOX9, and Col II and decreased expression of Col I and tenomodulin (TNMD) at week 2. Diabetic TDSCs (dTDSCs) demonstrated significantly decreased proliferation ability and increased osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation ability. Osteo-chondrogenic markers BMP2, ALP, OPN, OCN, Col II, and SOX9 were also significantly increased while tenogenic markers Col I and TNMD were decreased in dTDSCs. Conclusion These results suggested the erroneous differentiation of dTDSCs might account for the structural and non-tenogenic alternations in DM tendons, which provided new cues for the pathogenesis of tendon disorders in DM.

Abstract
OVERVIEW Tendon collagen fibril degradation is commonly seen in tendons of diabetics, but the mechanisms responsible for these changes remain to be elucidated. We have demonstrated that streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes increases tendon cell proliferation and collagen content. In the present study, we evaluated that impact of STZ-induced diabetes on mRNA transcripts involved with collagen fibril organization, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, apoptosis, and proliferation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats were divided into four groups: nondiabetic (control, n = 9), 1 week (acute, n = 8) or 10 weeks of diabetes (chronic, n = 7), and 10 weeks of diabetes with insulin (insulin, n = 8). RNA was isolated from the patellar tendon for determination of mRNA transcripts using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). RESULTS Transcripts for Col1a1, Col3a1, Mmp2, Timp1, Scx, Tnmd, Casp3, Casp8, and Ager were lower in acute relative to control and insulin rats (p ≤ 0.05). With the exception of Scx, transcripts for Col1a1, Col3a1, Mmp2, Timp1, Tnmd, Casp3, Casp8, and Ager were also lower in chronic when compared to control (p < 0.05). Transcripts for Col1a1, Col3a1, Mmp2, Timp1, Tnmd, Casp3, Casp8, and Ager were not different between control and insulin (p > 0.05). Transcripts for Dcn, Mmp1a, Mmp9, Pcna, Tgfbr3, Ptgs2, Ptger2, Ptges, and iNos were not altered by diabetes or insulin (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that STZ-induced diabetes results in rapid and large changes in the expression of several genes that are key to ECM remodeling, maintenance, and maturation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Certain metabolic factors have been proposed as risk factors for a posterosuperior rotator cuff tear. Although metabolic syndrome is of increasing concern in industrialized societies, little information exists regarding its association with posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for an atraumatic posterosuperior rotator cuff tear, including metabolic factors and metabolic syndrome. METHODS This study involved 634 subjects (634 shoulders) drawn from a cohort of rural residents. Posterosuperior rotator cuff tear diagnoses were based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for various demographic, physical, and social factors, including age, sex, dominant-side involvement, body mass index (BMI), and participation in manual labor; the comorbidities of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, thyroid dysfunction, ipsilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, and metabolic syndrome; and the serum metabolic parameters of serum lipid profile, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, and level of thyroid hormone. Two multivariable analyses were performed: the first excluded metabolic syndrome while including diabetes, hypertension, BMI, and hypo-high-density lipoproteinemia (hypo-HDLemia), and the second included metabolic syndrome while excluding the formerly included variables. RESULTS Age, BMI, waist circumference, dominant-side involvement, manual labor, diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, ipsilateral carpel tunnel syndrome, HDL (high-density lipoprotein), and hypo-HDLemia were significantly associated with posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in univariate analyses (p ≤ 0.035). In the first multivariable analysis, age (OR. 1.86 [95% CI, 1.47 to 2.35]), BMI (OR, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.02 to 1.18]), dominant-side involvement (OR, 2.04 [95% CI, 1.38 to 3.01]), manual labor (OR, 9.48 [95% CI, 5.13 to 17.51]), diabetes (OR, 3.38 [95% CI, 1.98 to 5.77]), and hypo-HDLemia (OR, 2.07 [95% CI, 1.30 to 3.29]) were significantly associated with posterosuperior rotator cuff tears (p ≤ 0.019). In the second multivariable analysis, age (OR, 1.85 [95% CI, 1.48 to 2.31]), dominant-side involvement (OR, 1.83 [95% CI, 1.26 to 2.67]), manual labor (OR, 7.71 [95% CI, 4.33 to 13.73]), and metabolic syndrome (OR, 1.98 [95% CI, 1.35 to 2.91]) were significantly associated with posterosuperior rotator cuff tears (p ≤ 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The metabolic factors of diabetes, BMI, hypo-HDLemia, and metabolic syndrome were significant independent factors associated with the development of posterosuperior rotator cuff tears.

Abstract
Objective The prevalence of musculoskeletal complications in diabetes mellitus (DM) increases with the duration of disease and with poor glycemic control. Our aim was to evaluate lower extremity musculoskeletal complications in patients with DM using the Glasgow Ultrasound Enthesitis Scoring System, and to reveal the relationship between clinical and sono-graphic findings. Materials and methods A total of 67 patients (25 men, 42 women) with DM were included in the study. All the diabetic patients were selected if they did not have any symptom of muscu-loskeletal system in the lower extremities. They were divided into four groups. Ultrasonographic assessment was performed according to the Glasgow Ultrasound Enthesitis Scoring System with an Esaote MyLab 5 device equipped with a 5-13 MHz linear transducer. Correlation between diabetes duration and lower extremity enthesopathy scores were evaluated. Results There was a significant correlation between duration of DM and total Glasgow Ultrasound Enthesitis Scoring System scores (p < 0.001). In addition, duration of DM was significantly correlated with enthesophyte scores and erosion scores (both p < 0.001). There was a significant difference among Groups 1 -4 for the mean enthesophyte score and mean erosion score (both, p < 0.001). Conclusion Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is an effective, inexpensive, and useful tool without radiation for evaluating diabetic patients for the early diagnosis of musculoskeletal complications.

Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of ultrasound measurements by analyzing the relative reliability and absolute reliability when measuring soft tissue thickness around the shoulder joint. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven healthy young adults (22 shoulders) participated in this study. Thickness of the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and biceps tendon was measured on both shoulders. This protocol was performed twice in the same day. The relative reliability of ultrasound measurement was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient for determining the degree of consistency and agreement between two measures. The absolute reliability of the ultrasound measurement was evaluated using the standard error of measurement, minimum detectable change, and Bland-Altman analysis. [Results] Ultrasound measurements exhibited high relative reliability: intraclass correlation coefficients for the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and biceps tendon thickness were demonstrated to be 0.91, 0.82, and 0.90, respectively. Bland-Altman analyses revealed no significant systematic bias between the repeated measurements for the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and biceps tendon thickness. [Conclusion] These findings suggest that ultrasound measurement for the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and biceps tendon thickness exhibited good relative reliability and no systematic errors were detected regarding their absolute reliability.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze and compare the gene and protein expression characteristics in torn rotator cuff tendon tissues between diabetic and nondiabetic patients. METHODS This was a pilot study. Twelve samples of rotator cuff tendon tissue from diabetic patients (mean age, 62.3 ± 9.9 years) and 12 age- and sex-matched nondiabetic tendon tissues (62.3 ± 9.9 years) were acquired from the torn tendon end of medium rotator cuff tears during arthroscopic surgery, after applying the same inclusion and exclusion criteria. Expressions of various genes of interest, including collagens I and III, matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, insulin-like growth factor-1, vascular endothelial growth factor, tenomodulin, tumor necrosis factor-α, and p53, were analyzed with real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). In addition, immunohistochemistry and western blot assay were performed for the genes that revealed significantly different expressions in real-time qRT-PCR between groups. RESULTS Gene expression levels of MMP-9, MMP-13, IL-6, and tenomodulin were significantly higher in the diabetic than in the nondiabetic group by real-time qRT-PCR analyses (P = .011, .004, .009, and .010, respectively). The density of cells expressing MMP-9 and IL-6 was significantly increased in the torn tendons of the diabetic patients on immunohistochemical analysis, and the density of MMP-9 and IL-6 protein expressions was significantly higher in the diabetic group on western blot (P = .018 and .044, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Diabetic torn cuff tendon tissues showed MMP-9 and IL-6 overexpressions compared with controls. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The overexpressions of MMP-9 and IL-6 may be one of the explanations for the high healing failure rate after rotator cuff repair in the diabetic patients.

Abstract
Chronic tendinopathy is a frequent and disabling musculo-skeletal problem affecting the athletic and general populations. The affected tendon is presented with local tenderness, swelling, and pain which restrict the activity of the individual. Tendon degeneration reduces the mechanical strength and predisposes it to rupture. The pathogenic mechanisms of chronic tendinopathy are not fully understood and several major non-mutually exclusive hypotheses including activation of the hypoxia-apoptosis-pro-inflammatory cytokines cascade, neurovascular ingrowth, increased production of neuromediators, and erroneous stem cell differentiation have been proposed. Many intrinsic and extrinsic risk/causative factors can predispose to the development of tendinopathy. Among them, diabetes mellitus is an important risk/causative factor. This review aims to appraise the current literature on the epidemiology and pathology of tendinopathy in diabetic patients. Systematic reviews were done to summarize the literature on (a) the association between diabetes mellitus and tendinopathy/tendon tears, (b) the pathological changes in tendon under diabetic or hyperglycemic conditions, and (c) the effects of diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia on the outcomes of tendon healing. The potential mechanisms of diabetes mellitus in causing and exacerbating tendinopathy with reference to the major non-mutually exclusive hypotheses of the pathogenic mechanisms of chronic tendinopathy as reported in the literature are also discussed. Potential strategies for the management of tendinopathy in diabetic patients are presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No information is available about asymptomatic rotator cuff tears (RCTs) in the Korean population. This study evaluated the prevalence of rotator cuff tears without symptoms and their related risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 486 volunteers (70.4% female; mean age, 53.1; range, 20-82 years) without any shoulder symptom complaints. Background data, medical history, clinical self-assessment, and physical examination were recorded. An ultrasonographic examination was conducted to identify rotator cuff pathology, but only full-thickness RCTs (FTRCTs) were included for the statistical analysis. RESULTS FTRCTs were found in 23 subjects (4.7%) but only in those aged ≥49 years. Subjects aged 50-59, 60-69, and ≥70 years of age had FTRCT prevalence rates of 3.5%, 13.3%, and 11.1%, respectively. The prevalence of FTRCTs was higher in subjects with diabetes (P = .042) and a smoking history (P= .002), but no differences were noted for the presence of thyroid disease (P = .051). Almost half of those who had FTRCTs had some pain and limited daily activity that was not bothersome. After excluding these subjects from the analysis, the prevalence of asymptomatic FTRCTs decreased to 2.3%. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of asymptomatic FTRCTs was lower than expected. Half of asymptomatic FTRCTs were not actually symptom free after the clinical and physical assessments. The risk factors for a FTRCT were age, diabetes, and smoking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotator cuff tears are the most common cause of shoulder disability in people older than 50years, and surgical intervention is usually required for restoring functioning. However, in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery, patients with DM had poorer functional outcomes than those without DM, and hence, DM is one of the possible risks factor for rotator cut off tear. The aim of this population-based study was to investigate the relationship between DM and the risk of rotator cuff tear in patients receiving rotator cuff repair surgery. METHODS In this retrospective longitudinal population-based 7-year cohort study, we investigated the risk of rotator cuff repair surgery in patients with DM. We performed a case-control matched analysis by using data from the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005. Patients were enrolled on the basis of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnostic codes for DM between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2007. The prevalence and the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of a rotator cuff repair surgery in patients with and without DM were estimated according to the Cox proportional hazard regression analysis using the frailty model. RESULTS The DM and non-DM cohorts comprised 58,652 patients with DM and 117,304 (1:2) patients without DM after matching for age and sex. The incidence of rotator cuff repair surgery was 41 per 100,000 and 26 per 100,000 person-years in the DM and non-DM cohorts, respectively. The HR of rotator cuff repair surgery during the follow-up period was 1.56 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25-1.93, p<0.001) for patients with DM. After adjustment for covariates, the adjusted HR of rotator cuff repair surgery was 1.33 (95% CI, 1.05-1.68, p<0.001) in the DM cohort. CONCLUSION DM is an independent risk factor for rotator cuff tear repair surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasound provides evaluation of rotator cuff disease with accuracy comparable to that of magnetic resonance imaging. Fluid in the sheath of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB), identified on ultrasound scan, has been associated with disease of the rotator cuff, LHB, and glenohumeral joint. Prior literature has compared ultrasound findings only with arthrography, and results have been conflicting. Arthroscopy remains the reference standard in assessing accuracy of imaging modalities. We present the first study investigating the significance of fluid in the LHB on ultrasound in predicting subsequent rotator cuff disease identified on arthroscopy. METHODS Records were reviewed of 175 patients undergoing ultrasound and subsequent arthroscopy under 1 shoulder surgeon. Experienced musculoskeletal radiologists and sonographers performed ultrasound. Ultrasound examination and operating records were collected and analyzed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and logistic regression modeling. RESULTS Highly significant correlation (P < .001; ρ = 0.354) was found between fluid in the LHB sheath and rotator cuff tears on arthroscopy. Statistically significant but weak correlation (P < .05; rho = 0.187) was found between fluid in the LHB sheath and both biceps tendon disease and glenohumeral joint disease. Fluid around the LHB was shown to increase the likelihood of having rotator cuff tear (odds ratio, 2.641; 95% confidence interval, 1.229-5.674) and biceps tendon disease (odds ratio, 2.698; 95% confidence interval, 1.216-5.987). CONCLUSION This is the first report identifying significant correlation between fluid in the LHB sheath identified on ultrasound and subsequent rotator cuff disease identified at arthroscopy. We recommend routine reporting of fluid in the LHB sheath as it is likely to improve the accuracy of detecting rotator cuff and biceps tendon diseases.

Abstract
In evaluating patients complaining of shoulder pain, ultrasonography is an emerging imaging tool due to convenience, low cost, high sensitivity and specificity. However, normative values of ultrasound dimensions of the shoulder to be compared with pathologic findings in Korean adults are not provided yet. We evaluated the ultrasound dimensions of the rotator cuff, long head of biceps tendon, deltoid muscle and acromioclavicular joint in Korean healthy adults. Shoulder ultrasonography was performed on 200 shoulders from 100 healthy adults. The dimensions of the thickness of rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis tendon), deltoid muscle, long head of biceps tendon, subacromial subdeltoid bursa, and acromioclavicular joint interval were measured in a standardized manner. Differences in measurements among sex, age, and dominant arms were compared. The thickness of rotator cuff tendons (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis) and deltoid muscle were significantly different between men and women. The thickness of subacromial subdeltoid bursa was significantly different between men and women for non-dominant side. In rotator cuff tendon measurements, the differences between dominant and non-dominant shoulders were not significant, which means the asymptomatic contralateral shoulder can be used to estimate the normal reference values. When stratified by age divided by 10 years, the measurements of supraspinatus, subscapularis and deltoid thickness showed tendency of increase with the age. The acromioclavicular joint interval, on the other hand, revealed decreasing tendency. This report suggests normative values of ultrasound dimensions of healthy Korean population with varying age, and can be useful as reference values in evaluating shoulder pathology, especially in rotator cuff tendon pathology.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the influence of hyperlipidemia on the treatment of supraspinatus tendinopathy, with or without tear. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with shoulder pain and patients with supraspinatus tendinopathy, with or without tear, were included in the study. Exclusion criteria were prior shoulder surgery, prior steroid injection, neurological diseases that could lead to shoulder pain, and use of lipid-lowering medication. According to the serum lipid profiles, patients were assigned to either the hyperlipidemia or non-hyperlipidemia group. By analyzing the numeric rating scale (NRS) before treatment, and at 2 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment, we compared the difference in treatment effect between the two groups. Results No significant baseline difference was found among the two groups for age, gender, body mass index, duration of pain, side of pain, range of motion of affected shoulder, or physical examination. On the repeated-measures analysis of variance, NRS scores significantly decreased with time for both groups (p<0.001). When analyzing the effect of time between the subjects factor, there was significant difference in the treatment effect between the two groups (p<0.001), namely NRS was less decreased in the hyperlipidemia group. Conclusion We found that hyperlipidemia may be an adversely affecting factor in the treatment of supraspinatus tendinopathy with or without tear.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tears (RTCs) are the most common cause of shoulder disability. There has been a proportional increase in the prevalence of RCT in accordance with the rising trend of an ageing population. In this article we review the current literature encompassing RCT epidemiology, risk factors and aetiopathogenesis. We also summarize the current diagnostic modalities, treatment options, rehabilitation and outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tendinopathies negatively affect the quality of life of millions of people, but we still do not know the factors involved in the development of tendon conditions. SOURCES OF DATA Published articles in English in PubMed and Google Scholar up to June 2015 about hormonal influence on tendinopathies onset. One hundred and two papers were included following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. AREAS OF AGREEMENT In vitro and in vivo, tenocytes showed changes in their morphology and in their functional properties according to hormonal imbalances. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY Genetic pattern, sex, age and comorbidities can influence the hormonal effect on tendons. GROWING POINTS The increasing prevalence of metabolic disorders prompts to investigate the possible connection between metabolic problems and musculoskeletal diseases. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH The influence of hormones on tendon structure and metabolism needs to be further investigated. If found to be significant, multidisciplinary preventive and therapeutic strategies should then be developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an endocrine disease characterized by metabolic abnormalities and long-term complications. The Achilles tendon (AT) plays an important role in foot biomechanics. We aimed to investigate the effect of DM on the Achilles tendon, which may contribute to long-term complications in the foot-ankle complex. METHODS Seventy-eight patients with diabetes, with (35 patients, group I) or without (43 patients, group II) foot ulcers were recruited from the endocrinology clinic. Thirty-three age-, gender-, and BMI-matched healthy individuals were selected as controls. All participants underwent ultrasonography and sonoelastography of their AT in order to evaluate Achilles tendon thickness (ATT) and stiffness (ATS). Each patient was also tested for fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) as a measure of diabetes control. Other chronic complications were also evaluated in all patients with diabetes. RESULTS The AT was significantly thicker in group I compared to group II and the controls. HbA1C, FPG, and duration of diabetes were higher in group I. We observed that ATT was positively correlated with neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy, peripheral arterial disease and coronary arterial disease in group II while this correlation was not detected in group I. ATS was reduced in group I more than group II and control groups. CONCLUSION Changes in the structure of the AT may precede foot ankle disorders in patients with diabetes. This is the first study that reported the results of sonoelastosonography of AT in patients with diabetes and revealed the correlation between ATT and other chronic complications of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The intrinsic risk factors of rotator cuff disease (RCD) include degeneration, inflammation, oxidative stress, and circulation impairment. Both diabetes and hyperlipidemia are thought to increase these risk factors and therefore potentially enhance RCD development. However, few studies, and few longitudinal follow-up studies in particular, exist to prove this. HYPOTHESIS Both diabetes and hyperlipidemia can increase a patient's risk of developing RCD. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A total of 498,678 participants, including 28,391 diagnosed with diabetes and 25,621 with hyperlipidemia in the year 2000, were followed for an 11-year period. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to explore the effect of (1) diabetes, (2) hyperlipidemia, (3) diabetes with/without insulin use, and (4) hyperlipidemia with/without statin use on the development of RCD. In the subgroup of patients with hyperlipidemia, multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were also performed to explore the relationship between statin use and RCD development. RESULTS During an 11-year follow-up period, 26,664 patients developed RCD. The crude hazard ratio (HR) for RCD in patients with diabetes as compared with those without diabetes was 2.11 (95% CI, 2.02-2.20; P < .0001). The crude HR for RCD in patients with hyperlipidemia as compared with those without hyperlipidemia was 2.00 (95% CI, 1.92-2.08; P < .0001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that, in addition to older age and female sex, both diabetes and hyperlipidemia increased the risk of RCD (diabetes: HR, 1.47 [95% CI, 1.41-1.54]; P < .0001) (hyperlipidemia: HR, 1.48 [95% CI, 1.42-1.55]; P < .0001). An elevated risk still existed in patients with diabetes with/without insulin use (diabetes with insulin use: HR, 1.43 [95% CI, 1.35-1.51]; P < .0001) (diabetes without insulin use: HR, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.53-1.75]; P < .0001). An increased risk also existed in patients with hyperlipidemia with/without statin use (hyperlipidemia with statin use: HR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.10-1.23]; P < .0001) (hyperlipidemia without statin use: HR, 2.01 [95% CI, 1.89-2.13]; P < .0001). In the subgroup of patients with hyperlipidemia, statin use was associated with a lower risk of developing RCD when compared with no statin use (rosuvastatin: HR, 0.41 [95% CI, 0.35-0.49]; P < .0001) (simvastatin: HR, 0.62 [95% CI, 0.54-0.71]; P < .0001) (other statins: HR, 0.66 [95% CI, 0.60-0.72]; P < .0001). CONCLUSION The present longitudinal, population-based follow-up study showed that either diabetes or hyperlipidemia alone was an independent risk factor for RCD development. Statin use might provide protection against RCD in patients with hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major risk factor for tendinopathy, and tendon abnormalities are common in diabetic patients. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg)-induced diabetes and insulin therapy on tendon mechanical and cellular properties. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 40) were divided into the following four groups: nondiabetic (control), 1 wk of diabetes (acute), 10 wk of diabetes (chronic), and 10 wk of diabetes with insulin treatment (insulin). After 10 wk, Achilles tendon and tail fascicle mechanical properties were similar between groups (P > 0.05). Cell density in the Achilles tendon was greater in the chronic group compared with the control and acute groups (control group: 7.8 ± 0.5 cells/100 μm(2), acute group: 8.3 ± 0.4 cells/100 μm(2), chronic group: 10.9 ± 0.9 cells/100 μm(2), and insulin group: 9.2 ± 0.8 cells/100 μm(2), P < 0.05). The density of proliferating cells in the Achilles tendon was greater in the chronic group compared with all other groups (control group: 0.025 ± 0.009 cells/100 μm(2), acute group: 0.019 ± 0.005 cells/100 μm(2), chronic group: 0.067 ± 0.015, and insulin group: 0.004 ± 0.004 cells/100 μm(2), P < 0.05). Patellar tendon collagen content was ∼32% greater in the chronic and acute groups compared with the control or insulin groups (control group: 681 ± 63 μg collagen/mg dry wt, acute group: 938 ± 21 μg collagen/mg dry wt, chronic: 951 ± 52 μg collagen/mg dry wt, and insulin group: 596 ± 84 μg collagen/mg dry wt, P < 0.05). In contrast, patellar tendon hydroxylysyl pyridinoline cross linking and collagen fibril organization were unchanged by diabetes or insulin (P > 0.05). Our findings suggest that 10 wk of streptozotocin-induced diabetes does not alter rat tendon mechanical properties even with an increase in collagen content. Future studies could attempt to further address the mechanisms contributing to the increase in tendon problems noted in diabetic patients, especially since our data suggest that hyperglycemia per se does not alter tendon mechanical properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is thought to contribute to limited joint mobility in people with diabetes mellitus (DM), but the relationships among AGEs, shoulder structural changes, movement, and disability are not understood. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the differences and relationships among skin intrinsic fluorescence (SIF), a proxy measure of AGEs, biceps and supraspinatus tendon thickness, upper extremity movement, and disability in groups with and without DM. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional, case-control study. METHODS Fifty-two individuals participated: 26 with type 2 DM and 26 controls matched for sex, age, and body mass index. The main outcome measures were: SIF; biceps and supraspinatus tendon thickness; 3-dimensional peak shoulder motion; and Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire scores. RESULTS Mean SIF measurements were 19% higher in the DM group compared with the control group (P<.05). Biceps tendons (mean and 95% confidence interval [CI]) (4.7 mm [4.4, 5.0] versus 3.2 mm [2.9, 3.5]) and supraspinatus tendons (6.4 mm [5.9, 6.8] versus 4.9 mm [4.4, 5.3]) were thicker and peak humerothoracic elevation (139° [135°, 146°] versus 150° [146°, 155°]) and glenohumeral external rotation (35° [26°, 46°] versus 51° [41°, 58°]) were reduced in the DM group compared with the control group (P<.05). In the DM group, SIF was correlated to biceps tendon thickness, DASH score, and shoulder motion (r=.44-.51, P<.05). The SIF score and shoulder strength explained 64% of the DASH scores (P<.01). LIMITATIONS Because this was a cross-sectional study design, a cause-effect relationship could not be established. CONCLUSIONS Accumulation of AGEs in the connective tissues of individuals with DM appears to be associated with increased tendon thickness and decreased shoulder joint mobility and upper extremity function. Physical therapists should be aware of these possible metabolic effects on structure, movement, and disability when treating people with diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited joint mobility at the shoulder is an understudied problem in people with diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in shoulder kinematics between a group with diabetes and those without diabetes. METHODS Fifty-two participants were recruited, 26 with diabetes and 26 non-diabetes controls (matched for age, BMI and sex). Three-dimensional position of the trunk, scapula and humerus were collected using electromagnetic tracking sensors during scapular plane elevation and rotation movements. FINDINGS Glenohumeral external rotation was reduced by 11.1°-16.3° (P<0.05) throughout the humerothoracic elevation range of motion, from neutral to peak elevation, in individuals with diabetes as compared to controls. Peak humerothoracic elevation was decreased by 10-14°, and peak external rotation with the arm abducted was decreased 22° in the diabetes group compared to controls (P<0.05). Scapulothoracic and glenohumeral internal rotation motions were not different between the two groups. INTERPRETATION Shoulder limited joint mobility, in particular decreased external rotation, was seen in individuals with diabetes as compared to control participants. Future research should investigate causes of diabetic limited joint mobility and strategies to improve shoulder mobility and prevent additional detrimental changes in movement and function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of a specific rehabilitation program for patients in whom ultrasound-guided percutaneous treatment (UGPT) was performed for rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy (RCCT). SUBJECTS AND METHODS In this prospective observational study, 86 patients (22 males and 64 females) with shoulder calcific tendinopathy treated with UGPT were enrolled. At the end of the procedure, a corticosteroid injection into the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa was performed. The patients were then asked to follow a specific rehabilitation protocol (2 times/week for 5 weeks) that focused on mobility, strength and function. At baseline and after 6 weeks, clinical parameters, visual analog scale (VAS) and Constant-Murley scale (CMS) scores and ultrasound (US) features were collected. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 48.9 ± 8.4 years and their mean BMI was 22.7 ± 2.1. Considering the whole cohort, the treatment was effective, with a significant decrease in the VAS score and an improvement in the CMS score. Thereafter, on the basis of the compliance to the rehabilitation program (by self-report), 53 and 33 patients were included in the rehabilitation group (Rehab group; performed exercises ≥2 times/week) and the No Rehab group (performed exercises <2 times/week), respectively. The comparison between the groups showed that the subjects who performed the exercises regularly had better results in terms of pain and functional recovery, and less associated diseases (e.g. adhesive bursitis and tenosynovitis of the long head of the biceps) than those who were less compliant with the program. CONCLUSIONS UGPT, followed by a specific postprocedure rehabilitation program, was an effective treatment for RCCT.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tear has been a known entity for orthopaedic surgeons for more than two hundred years. Although the exact pathogenesis is controversial, a combination of intrinsic factors proposed by Codman and extrinsic factors theorized by Neer is likely responsible for most rotator cuff tears. Magnetic resonance imaging remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of rotator cuff tears, but the emergence of ultrasound has revolutionized the diagnostic capability. Even though mini-open rotator cuff repair is still commonly performed, and results are comparable to arthroscopic repair, all-arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tear is now fast becoming a standard care for rotator cuff repair. Appropriate knowledge of pathology and healing pattern of cuff, strong and biological repair techniques, better suture anchors, and gradual rehabilitation of postcuff repair have led to good to excellent outcome after repair. As the healing of degenerative cuff tear remains unpredictable, the role of biological agents such as platelet-rich plasma and stem cells for postcuff repair augmentation is still under evaluation. The role of scaffolds in massive cuff tear is also being probed.
