Project description:BackgroundTo compare the complications and efficacy of pain relief of the interscalene anesthetic block using either a single-injection (SI) vs. a continuous, indwelling catheter (CIC) for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery.MethodsPatients undergoing primary, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair without concomitant open procedure or biceps tenodesis were prospectively enrolled by 4 fellowship-trained sports medicine and shoulder surgeons. Patients received either a SI or CIC preoperatively based on surgeon preference. Patients were contacted by phone to complete a standard questionnaire on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Patients were asked to rate the efficacy of their subjective pain relief (scale of 0-10), document issues with the catheter, describe analgesic usage, and report pharmacological and medical complications. The primary outcome was measured as complication rate. Postoperative narcotic use, patient satisfaction, and visual analog scale pain scores were measured as secondary outcomes.ResultsSeventy patients were enrolled, 33 CIC patients (13 male, 20 female, mean age 61 ± 8 years) and 37 SI patients (20 male, 17 female, mean age 59 ± 10 years). There were significantly more injection/insertion site complications in the CIC group (48%) vs. the SI group (11%, P = .001). The incidence of motor weakness was higher in the CIC group on POD 1 (P = .034), but not at any subsequent time points. On POD 1, CIC patients had a clinically significantly lower pain score compared to SI (3.2 vs. 5.4; P = .020). Similar scores were observed at subsequent time points until POD 28, when CIC again had a lower pain score (0.8 vs. 2.7; P = .005). However, this did not reach clinical significance. All patients in both groups rated a satisfaction of 9 or 10 (scale 0-10) with the anesthesia provided by their nerve block.ConclusionCIC interscalene nerve blocks had an increased risk for injection site complications and minor complications in the immediate postoperative period when using the CIC for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair without any concomitant open procedures. CIC blocks demonstrated clinically significant superior pain relief on POD 1 but were equal to SI blocks at every time point thereafter. Superior pain relief of CIC at POD 28 was not clinically significant. CIC catheters do not appear to markedly decrease the use of postoperative narcotics. Despite this trend in complication rates and pain scores, all patients in both groups were satisfied with their nerve block.

Project description:PurposeExamine demographic factors of all patients treated for adhesive capsulitis by a single surgeon, report the treatments and outcomes of these patients, and determine the effectiveness of various treatments, including corticosteroid injections and operative intervention in relation to risk factors for adhesive capsulitis.MethodsAll patients treated for adhesive capsulitis by a single surgeon between 2008 to 2014 with minimum 2 years' follow-up were identified via charts and operative reports and were eligible for inclusion. Demographic information including sex and medical comorbidities was documented. Preintervention and postintervention shoulder range of motion was recorded. Specific treatment information (number of corticosteroid injections, etc) was collected. Treatment outcomes were then compared as an aggregate and among varying comorbidities.ResultsOverall, 1377 patients were treated for adhesive capsulitis (946 women vs 431 men [P = .001]). For patients with adhesive capsulitis: a higher percentage of men than women had diabetes (24.8% vs 17.3% [P = .001]); nondiabetic patients had better forward flexion at initial presentation than patients with diabetes (114° vs 108° [P = .015]); more patients with diabetes required capsular release than nondiabetic patients (13% vs 7.3% [P = .003]); more nondiabetic patients resolved adhesive capsulitis without corticosteroid or surgical intervention than patients with diabetes (83.6% vs 61.7% [P = .001]); more nondiabetic patients resolved adhesive capsulitis after single corticosteroid injection than did patients with diabetes (95.9% vs 86.7% [P = .001]). Multiple intraarticular corticosteroid injections provided no added benefit over a single injection in resolving adhesive capsulitis in patients with diabetes and nondiabetic patients.ConclusionIn shoulder adhesive capsulitis, women and patients with diabetes are more commonly affected, patients with diabetes respond less favorably to physical therapy in isolation and physical therapy plus corticosteroid injections than nondiabetic patients. No benefit from multiple intraarticular corticosteroid injections was seen compared with a single intraarticular corticosteroid injection in patients with diabetes and nondiabetic patients. Patients with diabetes and nondiabetic patients have functional improvement after capsular release and manipulation if conservative treatment for adhesive capsulitis fails.Level of evidenceIII, case control.

Project description:Interscalene brachial plexus (ISB) block is often associated with phrenic nerve block and diaphragmatic paresis. The goal of our study was to test if the anterior or the posterior ultrasound guided approach of the ISB is associated with a lower incidence of phrenic nerve blocks and impaired lung function.This was a prospective, randomized and single-blinded study of 84 patients scheduled for elective shoulder surgery who fullfilled the inclusion and exclusion critereria. Patients were randomized in two groups to receive either the anterior (n = 42) or the posterior (n = 42) approach for ISB. Clinical data were recorded. In both groups patients received ISB with a total injection volume of 15 ml of ropivacaine 1 %. Spirometry was conducted at baseline (T0) and 30 min (T30) after accomplishing the block. Changes in spirometrical variables between T0 and T30 were investigated by Wilcoxon signed-rank test for each puncture approach. The temporal difference between the posterior and the anterior puncture approach groups were again analyzed by the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test.The spirometric results showed a significant decrease in vital capacity, forced expiratory volume per second, and maximum nasal inspiratory breathing after the Interscalene brachial plexus block; indicating a phrenic nerve block (p <0.001, Wilcoxon signed-rank). A significant difference in the development of the spirometric parameters between the anterior and the posterior group could not be identified (Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test). Despite the changes in spirometry, no cases of dyspnea were reported.A different site of injection (anterior or posterior) did not show an effect in reducing the cervical block spread of the local anesthetic and the incidence of phrenic nerve blocks during during ultrasound guided Interscalene brachial plexus block. Clinical breathing effects of phrenic nerve blocks are, however, usually well compensated, and subjective dyspnea did not occur in our patients.German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS number 00009908 , registered 26 January 2016).

Project description:Recently, ultrasound measurements of the shoulder such as thickening of the rotator interval (RI) and the axillary recess (AR) are suggested as specific indicators of adhesive capsulitis. Herein, we evaluated the sequential changes in ultrasound parameters and clinical impairments and the correlation between the two in the case of adhesive capsulitis through a prospective observational study of 56 patients with adhesive capsulitis. Clinical assessments and ultrasound parameters, including the thicknesses of the RI and AR, were surveyed at baseline and after 1, 3, and 6 months. In 56 patients with adhesive capsulitis, the thickness of the AR significantly decreased at each follow-up evaluation, but the thickness of the RI showed a significant decrease only between the baseline and 1-month evaluation. In repeated analyses of correlation, the thickness of the AR was strongly correlated with all clinical impairments except the pain at rest and range of internal rotation in the affected shoulder. The thickness of AR was correlated with clinical impairments in patients with adhesive capsulitis during the 6 months follow up and could be useful as a surrogate marker in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Project description:BackgroundRotator-cuff surgery is well recognized to be a painful procedure.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an arthroscopically placed perineural catheter at the scapular notch to provide a continuous block of the suprascapular nerve (continuous arthroscopically assisted suprascapular nerve block [ca-SSNB]) following arthroscopic rotator-cuff repair (ARCR).Materials and methodsThis level II, prospective, randomized, controlled trial without postoperative blinding included 40 patients, who had a 48-hour pain pump, with 0.2% ropivacaine infusion and a continuous rate of 3 mL/hour, placed via an arthroscopically placed catheter following ARCR with arthroscopic release of the superior transverse ligament: 21 patients had a ca-SSNB, and 19 patients had a continuous subacromial bursal block (SAB). The visual analog scale (at 6 hours and on the first, second, and third postoperative days) and the total number of additional pain-reduction attempts during the 3 postoperative days were calculated.ResultsThe respective visual analog scale scores (mm) obtained from the ca-SSNB and SAB groups were 62.4 and 67.6 (P=0.73) before surgery, 9.1 and 19.4 (P=0.12) at 6 hours after surgery, 24.4 and 44.6 (P=0.019) on the first postoperative day, 19.4 and 40.4 (P=0.0060) on the second postoperative day, and 18.5 and 27.8 (P=0.21) on the third postoperative day. Total additional pain-reduction attempts recorded for the ca-SSNB and SAB groups during the 3 postoperative days were 0.3 times and 1.2 times (P=0.0020), respectively.Conclusionca-SSNB was highly effective in controlling postoperative pain after ARCR.

Project description:BackgroundAdhesive Capsulitis (AC) affects patient of all ages, and stretching protocols are commonly prescribed for this condition. Dynamic splinting has been shown effective in contracture reduction from pathologies including Trismus to plantar fasciitis. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of dynamic splinting on patients with AC.MethodsThis controlled, cohort study, was conducted at four physical therapy, sports medicine clinics in Texas and California. Sixty-two patients diagnosed with Stage II Adhesive Capsulitis were grouped by intervention. The intervention categories were as follows: Group I (Control); Group II (Physical Therapy exclusively with standardized protocols); Group III; (Shoulder Dynasplint system exclusively); Group IV (Combined treatment with Shoulder Dynasplint and standardized Physical Therapy). The duration of this study was 90 days for all groups, and the main outcome measures were change in active, external rotation.ResultsSignificant difference was found for all treatment groups (p < 0.001) following a one-way ANOVA. The greatest change with the smallest standard deviation was for the combined treatment group IV, (mean change of 29 degrees ).ConclusionThe difference for the combined treatment group was attributed to patients' receiving the best PT combined with structured "home therapy" that contributed an additional 90 hours of end-range stretching. This adjunct should be included in the standard of care for adhesive Capsulitis.Trial registrationTrial numberNCT00873158.

Project description:IntroductionContinuous catheter infusion of local anesthetics extends the efficacy of regional anesthesia after prosthetic shoulder surgery. Our purpose was to compare continuous interscalene block (CIB) with single-shot interscalene block, and the hypothesis was these would offer similar safety and efficacy in patients with prosthetic shoulder arthroplasty.MethodsSeventy-six patients were randomized to ropivacaine single-shot interscalene block or CIB after prosthetic shoulder arthroplasty. Postoperative pain scores and opioid use, hospital length of stay (LOS), adverse events, and catheter tip withdrawal were recorded.ResultsPain scores (P = 0.010) and opioid use (P = 0.003) on the first postoperative day were lower in the CIB group, but there was no difference in LOS. Adverse events were more common in the CIB group and 10% of catheters pulled out prematurely.ConclusionOpioid use and pain levels during first postoperative day are clinically less after CIB, but this did not shorten LOS. The benefits of CIB may not justify the higher cost and complication rate.
