Management of Rotator Cuff Defects After Calcific Tendinopathy Debridement Using a Bioinductive Collagen Implant.

ABSTRACT: The management of rotator cuff defects after arthroscopic debridement for calcific tendinitis can be a challenge for physicians. To date, treatment options have included debridement alone, in situ repairs of the tendon, or full-thickness takedown and repair. Each option, however, has been fraught with its own pitfalls and limitations. We propose a technique for the management of rotator cuff defects through the application of a bioinductive collagen implant that may allow for rapid tissue incorporation and regeneration.

Project description:IntroductionRotator cuff calcific tendinopathy (RCCT) involves calcific deposits in the rotator cuff. Non-surgical interventions such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation of calcific tendinopathy (US-PICT) are recommended for its early management. Exercise therapy (ET) has shown to be an effective intervention for people with rotator cuff tendinopathy, but it has not been formally tested in RCCT. The main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of an ET programme with ESWT and US-PICT in people with RCCT. As a secondary aim, this study aims to describe the natural history of RCCT.Methods and analysisA randomised, single-blinded four-group clinical trial will be conducted. Adults from 30 to 75 years diagnosed with RCCT who accomplish eligibility criteria will be recruited. Participants (n=116) will be randomised into four groups: ET group will receive a 12-week rehabilitation programme; ESWT group will receive four sessions with 1 week rest between sessions during 1 month; US-PICT group will receive two sessions with 3 months of rest between sessions; and (actual) wait-and-see group will not receive any intervention during the 12-month follow-up. The primary outcome will be shoulder pain assessed with the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 months, 6 months and 12 months from baseline. The primary analysis will be performed at 12 months from baseline. Secondary outcomes will include pain, range of motion, patient satisfaction and imaging-related variables. Moreover, the following psychosocial questionnaires with their corresponding outcome measure will be assessed: Central Sensitization Inventory (symptoms related to central sensitization); Pain Catastrophizing Scale (pain catastrophizing); Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia 11 items (fear of movement); Fear Avoidance Belief Questionnaire (fear avoidance behaviour); Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (anxiety and depression); Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (sleep quality); and the EuroQol-5D (quality of life). An intention-to-treat analysis will be performed to reduce the risk of bias using a worst-case and best-case scenario analysis.Ethics and disseminationEthics committee approval for this study has been obtained (reference number: 1718862). The results of the main trial will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.Trial registration numberNCT05478902.

Project description:Calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder (CTS) is the most common cause of shoulder pain. Conservative treatment is considered as the first therapeutic choice for CTS. The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of US-guided needling (UGN) compared to UGN plus Biocompatible Electrical Neurostimulation (BEN) in the treatment of the CTS. Pilot, prospective, non-interventional, monocentric, and observational study of patients treated for calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy and shoulder pain. Patients' selection, enrollment and interventions were conducted at the Chiparo Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient facility. Forty adult patients (aged 40-60 years) with a diagnosis of CTS in the acute and colliquative phase were recruited and enrolled into the study. Participants were assessed for self-perceived pain through the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and for functional limitation through the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score (SPADI) at baseline (T0), after 15 days (T1), and after 40 days (T2). As a possible confounding factor between the two treatments' response, the dimension of the tendon calcification was also assessed by US-examination. Through the study, both groups improved their perceived functional performance of the arm (p-value < 0.001). AT T1, the SPADI score decreased by half in both groups, and the improvement remained stable at T2. A multiplicative effect (Time × Treatment) was demonstrated (p-value < 0.001). An improvement in the NRS score was measured at T1, and it remained stable at T2, a multiplicative effect was also reported (p-value < 0.001). The main results of this pilot study provide evidence that UGN plus BEN increases functional performance and reduces shoulder pain in individuals with CTS. Moreover, the tendon calcification dimension at the baseline and the percentage of drainage of the lesion were associated with a functional performance recovery and pain reduction detected after intervention.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify prognostic factors for the effectiveness of needle aspiration of calcific deposits (NACD) for rotator cuff calcific tendinitis (RCCT) METHODS: One hundred forty-nine patients with symptomatic RCCT were included in a prospective cohort study. Pain (VAS), shoulder function (SST and DASH), and quality of life (EQ-5D) were assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months post-NACD. Univariate analyses (independent t tests or Mann-Whitney U tests depending on the distribution of data) were performed to build a multivariable linear regression model. Stepwise regression analysis through backward elimination was performed to evaluate the effect of predefined prognostic factors on the outcome.ResultsPatients who underwent multiple NACD procedures had less reduction of pain (p?<?0.01). Furthermore, a larger reduction in VAS pain scores at 3 months post-NACD was associated with a larger reduction in VAS pain scores at 12 months (p?<?0.01). More improvement of SST and DASH scores at 3 months was associated with better SST, DASH, and EQ-5D scores at 12 months (p?<?0.01). Smaller-size calcific deposits were associated with less improvement of DASH (p?=?0.03) and EQ-5D scores (p?=?0.01). A longer duration of symptoms prior to NACD was associated with less improvement of EQ-5D scores (p?=?0.01).ConclusionsA good initial response after NACD is associated with better outcomes at 12 months. Patients with a longer duration of symptoms prior to NACD and patients who require multiple procedures showed inferior outcomes in terms of pain reduction and improvement of quality of life. Smaller-size calcific deposits are associated with a less favorable outcome of shoulder function and quality of life scores and might therefore be less susceptible for NACD.Key points• A good initial response to NACD is associated with a better outcome in the longer term. • A longer duration of symptoms and the need for multiple NACD procedures are associated with inferior outcomes. • Smaller-size calcific deposits seem less susceptible for NACD.
