Deltoid muscle volume affects clinical outcome of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with cuff tear arthropathy or irreparable cuff tears.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to estimate the interrelation between preoperative deltoid muscle status by measuring the 3-dimensional deltoid muscle volume and postoperative functional outcomes after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty(RTSA). Thirty-five patients who underwent RTSA participated in this study. All patients underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) as well as pre- and postoperative radiography and various functional outcome evaluations at least 1 year. The primary outcome parameter was set as age- and sex-matched Constant scores. The 3-dimensional deltoid muscle model was generated using a medical image processing software and in-house code, and the deltoid muscle volume was calculated automatically. Various clinical and radiographic factors comprising the deltoid muscle volume adjusted for body mass index(BMI) were analyzed, and their interrelation with the outcome parameters was appraised using a multivariate analysis. As a result, all practical consequences considerably improved following surgery(all p<0.01). Overall, 20 and 15 indicated a higher and a lower practical consequence than the average, respectively, which was assessed by the matched Constant scores. The deltoid muscle volume adjusted for BMI(p = 0.009), absence of a subscapularis complete tear (p = 0.040), and greater change in acromion-deltoid tuberosity distance(p = 0.013) were associated with higher matched Constant scores. Multivariate analysis indicated that the deltoid muscle volume was the single independent prognostic factor for practical consequences(p = 0.011). In conclusion, the preoperative deltoid muscle volume significantly affected the functional outcome following RTSA in patients with cuff tear arthropathy or irreparable cuff tears. Therefore, more attention should be paid to patients with severe atrophied deltoid muscle who are at a high risk for poor practical consequences subsequent to RTSA.

Project description:PurposeThe purposes of this study were to investigate the difference in value (benefit to cost ratio) of dermal allograft superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) versus reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) for the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) without arthritis; to compare the patient populations selected for the operations and report pre- and postoperative functional data; and to understand other characteristics of the 2 operations, including operating time, use of institutional resources, and complications.MethodsA retrospective, single-institution analysis during the study period 2014-2019 with MRCT treated with SCR or rTSA by 2 surgeons with complete institutional cost data and minimum 1-year clinical follow-up with American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score. Value was defined as ΔASES/(total direct costs/$10,000).ResultsThirty patients underwent rTSA and 126 patients SCR during the study period with significant differences noted in patient demographics and tear characteristics between the groups (patients who underwent rTSA were older, less male, had more pseudoparalysis, had greater Hamada and Goutallier scores, and had more proximal humeral migration). Value was 25 and 29 (ΔASES/$10,000) for rTSA and SCR, respectively (P = .7). The total costs of rTSA and SCR were $16,337 and $12,763, respectively (P = .7). Both groups experienced substantial improvements in ASES scores: 42 for rTSA vs 37 for SCR (P = .6). The operative time for SCR was much longer (204 vs 108 minutes, P < .001) but complication rate lower (3% vs 13%, P = .02) versus rTSA.ConclusionsIn a single institutional analysis of the treatment of MRCT without arthritis, rTSA and SCR demonstrated similar value; however, the value calculation is highly dependent on institution specific variables and duration of follow-up. The operating surgeons demonstrated different indications in selecting patients for each operation. rTSA had an advantage over SCR in shorter operative time, whereas SCR demonstrated a lower complication rate. Both SCR and rTSA are demonstrated to be effective treatments for MRCT at short-term follow-up.Level of evidenceIII, retrospective comparative study.

Project description:BackgroundHumeral rotation often remains compromised after nonlateralized reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Reduced rotational moment arms and muscle slackening have been identified as possible reasons for this impairment. Although several clinical studies suggest lateralized RSA may increase rotation, it is unclear whether this is attributable to preservation of rotational moment arms and muscle pretension of the remaining rotator cuff.Questions/purposesThe lateralized RSA was analyzed to determine whether (1) the rotational moment arms and (2) the origin-to-insertion distances of the teres minor and subscapularis can be preserved, and (3) their flexion and abduction moment arms are decreased.MethodsLateralized RSA using an 8-mm resin block under the glenosphere was performed on seven cadaveric shoulder specimens. Preimplantation and postimplantation CT scans were obtained to create three-dimensional shoulder surface models. Using these models, function-specific moment arms and origin-to-insertion distances of three segments of the subscapularis and teres minor muscles were calculated.ResultsThe rotational moment arms remained unchanged for the middle and caudal subscapularis and teres minor segments in all tested positions (subscapularis, -16.1 mm versus -15.8 mm; teres minor, 15.9 mm versus 15.3 mm). The origin-to-insertion distances increased or remained unchanged in any muscle segment apart from the distal subscapularis segment at 0° abduction (139 mm versus 145 mm). The subscapularis and teres minor had increased flexion moment arms in abduction angles smaller than 60° (subscapularis, 2.7 mm versus 8.3 mm; teres minor, -6.6 mm versus 0.8 mm). Abduction moment arms decreased for all segments (subscapularis, 4 mm versus -11 mm; teres minor, -3.6 mm versus -19 mm).ConclusionsAfter lateralized RSA, the subscapularis and teres minor maintained their length and rotational moment arms, their flexion forces were increased, and abduction capability decreased.Clinical relevanceOur findings could explain clinically improved rotation in lateralized RSA in comparison to nonlateralized RSA.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) affect the clinical outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). However, the effects of subscapularis repair on the outcomes of RSA, based on the degree of posterior-superior RCTs, are unclear. This study aimed to examine the effect of subscapularis repair on three-dimensional joint contact forces (JCFs) based on the degree of posterior-superior RCT severity in RSA. Ten human in vivo experimental data were used as input to the musculoskeletal model. A six-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) anatomical shoulder model was developed and validated against three-dimensional JCFs. The 6-DOF musculoskeletal shoulder model of RSA was then developed by importing the reverse shoulder implant into the validated anatomical shoulder model. Based on the various types of posterior-superior RCT severity, inverse dynamic simulations of subscapularis-torn and subscapularis-repaired models of RSA were performed: from isolated supraspinatus tears to partial or massive tears of the infraspinatus and teres minor. The intact rotator cuff model of RSA was also simulated for comparison with the different types of models. Our results showed that the more posterior-superior RCTs progressed in RSA, the more superior JCFs were observed at 90°, 105°, and 120° abduction in the subscapularis-torn model. However, subscapularis repair decreased the superior JCF at those angles sufficiently. In addition, the teres minor muscle-tendon force increased as infraspinatus bundle tears progressed in both the subscapularis-torn and -repaired models, in order to compensate for the reduced force during abduction. However, the teres minor muscle-tendon force was not as high as that of the infraspinatus muscle-tendon, which could result in muscle force imbalance between repaired subscapularis and teres minor. Therefore, our results suggest that repairing the subscapularis and the repairable infraspinatus during RSA can improve glenohumeral joint stability in the superior-inferior direction by restoring muscle force balance between the anterior cuff (i.e., subscapularis) and posterior cuff (i.e., infraspinatus and teres minor). The findings of this study can help clinician decide whether to repair the rotator cuff during RSA to enhance joint stability.
