Does the Anchor Eye Alignment Affect the Performance of the Rotator Cuff Repair? A Biomechanical Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the metal screw-in anchor failure mode and load to failure for 2 different eyelet alignments after anchor insertion in ovine humeri.

Methods

Sixteen ovine humeri were dissected, and a 5-mm metal anchor with 2 nonabsorbable polyblend polyethylene sutures was inserted into them in the proximal position of the greater tuberosity. The alignment of the anchors after insertion was adjusted to make 2 test groups, each with 8 specimens: In group 1, the anchor eyelets were malpositioned, whereas in group 2, the anchor eyelets were aligned according to the manufacturer's instructions. After insertion, cyclic tests from 10 N to 180 N were performed with a frequency of 1 Hz for 200 cycles; specimens were then loaded to failure to evaluate the maximum load of the system and observe the associated failure mode.

Results

The mean ultimate failure load in group 2 was not significantly different from that in group 1 (P = .472).

Conclusions

For metallic screw-in suture anchors, the alignment of the eyelet does not change the failure mode and the load to failure after cyclic loading of the bone-anchor-suture system in ovine humeri.

Clinical relevance

Our results indicate that on the basis of this anchor model, the position of the eyelet in the greater tuberosity does not interfere directly with the biomechanical performance of the system.

Rotator Cuff Repair Technique With Transosseous Knotless Anchor System.

Project description:Various surgical techniques exist for rotator cuff repair that provide a suitable environment for tendon-bone healing. Arthroscopic recreation of transosseous repairs, which had previously been performed by open or miniopen techniques, can now be performed; however, arthroscopic, transosseous passage of suture material can be challenging technically. There are potential biologic and cost-saving advantages of arthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair that make an efficient and reproducible technique desirable for arthroscopists. The technique for arthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair using a knotless anchor-based system is demonstrated in the current Technical Note. Potential advantages of this construct include excellent biomechanics, enhanced footprint vascularization, and utility in poor bone quality while using minimal anchor numbers. Further studies will be needed to elucidate healing rates and clinical outcomes.

Effects of Abduction Pillows on Rotator Cuff Repair: A Biomechanical Analysis.

Project description:BackgroundAfter rotator cuff repair, some surgeons use abduction pillows to unload or protect the repair construct, while others do not.Question/purposeThe aim of this study was to determine which type of sling-one with a small or large abduction pillow or one without a pillow-places the repaired rotator cuff in the best position to reduce tension on the supraspinatus.MethodsAn X-ray study was performed on asymptomatic subjects to determine what position the shoulder is placed in when wearing a sling with or without an abduction pillow. Positions were then reproduced in human cadaveric shoulders using a custom-made testing jig, and tension on the repaired supraspinatus was measured.ResultsX-rays showed that abduction of the glenohumeral joint with a sling was only 4°, with a sling with a small pillow was 13°, and with a sling with a large abduction pillow was 25°. Placing the cadaveric shoulders in the position of a sling with a small abduction pillow caused a reduction in tension on the supraspinatus of 27% anteriorly and 55% posteriorly compared to placing the shoulder in the position of a sling without an abduction pillow; a large abduction pillow caused a further reduction in tension, of 42% anteriorly and 56% posteriorly.ConclusionThese findings show that abduction pillows reduce tension on the repaired supraspinatus tendon.

Simultaneous rotator cuff repair and arthroscopic biceps tenodesis using lateral row anchor.

Project description:Treatment of concomitant long head of the biceps pathology in the setting of rotator cuff repair is often required. When a tenodesis of the biceps is used, additional anchors and surgical dissection are typically required. This adds additional surgical time, morbidity of additional surgical dissection, and additional anchor load and cost. We describe a novel technique for arthroscopic biceps tenodesis that uses the anterior lateral row anchor of a double-row rotator cuff repair to simultaneously secure the biceps tenodesis and rotator cuff tear. This technique provides a simple, reproducible, cost-effective means of performing a simultaneous biceps tenodesis and double-row rotator cuff repair.

Icariin Promotes Tendon-Bone Healing during Repair of Rotator Cuff Tears: A Biomechanical and Histological Study.

Project description:To investigate whether the systematic administration of icariin (ICA) promotes tendon-bone healing after rotator cuff reconstruction in vivo, a total of 64 male Sprague Dawley rats were used in a rotator cuff injury model and underwent rotator cuff reconstruction (bone tunnel suture fixation). Rats from the ICA group (n = 32) were gavage-fed daily with ICA at 0.125 mg/g, while rats in the control group (n = 32) received saline only. Micro-computed tomography, biomechanical tests, serum ELISA (calcium; Ca, alkaline phosphatase; AP, osteocalcin; OCN) and histological examinations (Safranin O and Fast Green staining, type I, II and III collagen (Col1, Col2, and Col3), CD31, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)) were analyzed two and four weeks after surgery. In the ICA group, the serum levels of AP and OCN were higher than in the control group. More Col1-, Col2-, CD31-, and VEGF-positive cells, together with a greater degree of osteogenesis, were detected in the ICA group compared with the control group. During mechanical testing, the ICA group showed a significantly higher ultimate failure load than the control group at both two and four weeks. Our results indicate that the systematic administration of ICA could promote angiogenesis and tendon-bone healing after rotator cuff reconstruction, with superior mechanical strength compared with the controls. Treatment for rotator cuff injury using systematically-administered ICA could be a promising strategy.

The Chinese Knot Stitch Technique Using a Footprint Ultrasuture Anchor for Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Management of the rotator cuff presents specific challenges to orthopaedic surgeons. Several locking suture methods have been reported but often fail for a number of reasons. We describe a different technique that is easy to perform and inspired by the Chinese knot, an arthroscopic double-locking suture using a footprint ultrasuture anchor. This technique is similar to the suture-bridge structure on the bursal side of the tendon in that it increases tissue grip and stabilizes initial tendon-to-bone fixation. This technique is especially suitable for the patients who have bursal-side partial-thickness or degenerative small- and medium-sized rotator cuff tears.

All-Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis Using the Anterolateral Anchor During Concomitant Double-Row Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis is a commonly performed procedure; however, there is a paucity of literature regarding concomitant biceps tenodesis and double-row rotator cuff repair. In this Technical Note, we describe an all-arthroscopic biceps tenodesis using the stay sutures from the anterolateral anchor in the setting of a double-row rotator cuff repair. The anterolateral anchor is placed adjacent to the bicipital groove to accommodate the tenodesis. Two sutures loaded into the anterolateral anchor are passed through the long head of the biceps tendon in a cinch configuration without the need to externalize the tendon. The sutures are tied arthroscopically, thereby securing the tendon to the anterolateral row anchor and completing the tenodesis.

Validation of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff index in patients with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a study protocol.

Project description:Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is described as being a successful procedure. These results are often derived from clinical general shoulder examinations, which are then classified as 'excellent', 'good', 'fair' or 'poor'. However, the cut-off points for these classifications vary and sometimes modified scores are used.Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is performed to improve quality of life. Therefore, disease specific health-related quality of life patient-administered questionnaires are needed. The WORC is a quality of life questionnaire designed for patients with disorders of the rotator cuff. The score is validated for rotator cuff disease, but not for rotator cuff repair specifically. The aim of this study is to investigate reliability, validity and responsiveness of WORC in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.An approved translation of the WORC into Dutch is used. In this prospective study three groups of patients are used: 1. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair; 2. Disorders of the rotator cuff without rupture; 3. Shoulder instability. The WORC, SF-36 and the Constant Score are obtained twice before therapy is started to measure reliability and validity. Responsiveness is tested by obtaining the same tests after therapy.

Depression increases the risk of rotator cuff tear and rotator cuff repair surgery: A nationwide population-based study.

Project description:BackgroundChronic inflammation is known to be associated with both rotator cuff tears (RCTs) and depression. However, no epidemiological studies with a longitudinal follow-up have been performed to prove this association. We aimed to investigate whether depressed patients had an elevated risk of RCT and subsequent repair surgery compared with those without depression.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study comprised of patients diagnosed with depression between 2000 and 2010 (depression cohort) and patients without depression (non-depression cohort, 1:2 age and sex matched). The risk of RCT and rotator cuff repair surgery were determined during a 13-year follow-up (2000-2013) between these two cohorts.ResultsThis study included 26,868 patients with depression and 53,736 patients without depression. The incidence of RCT was 648 and 438 per 100,000 person-years in the depression and non-depression cohorts, respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 1.46 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.36-1.57) for depressed patients. The incidence of rotator cuff repair surgery was 28 and 18 per 100,000 person-years in the depression and non-depression cohorts, respectively. Depressed patients also had a significantly increased risk of subsequent rotator cuff repair surgery (adjusted HR = 1.46; 95% CI, 1.04-2.06).ConclusionThe present study showed that depression was associated with an increased risk of rotator cuff tear and rotator cuff repair surgery.
