Öğe Arthroscopic Lysis of Adhesions for Stiffness After Surgical Management of Proximal Humerus Fractures Leads to Satisfactory Outcomes in Most Patients(Elsevier Inc., 2023) Ardebol J.; Zuk N.A.; Kiliç A.?.; Pak T.; Menendez M.E.; Denard P.J.Purpose: To report patient-reported outcomes (PROs), range of motion (ROM), and satisfaction, in patients who underwent arthroscopic lysis of adhesions for stiffness after open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) or reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for fracture. Methods: A retrospective review was performed to identify patients with stiffness who underwent arthroscopic lysis of adhesions following ORIF or RSA for proximal humerus fracture at a single institution between 2012 and 2021 with minimum 1-year follow-up. PROs including visual analog scale for pain (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), as well as active ROM including forward flexion (FF), external rotation (ER), internal rotation (IR), were collected pre- and postoperatively. Attempted nonoperative treatment before arthroscopic lysis of adhesions was documented. Complications and satisfaction were also recorded. Results: A total of 21 patients met the study criteria (4 RSA, 17 ORIF), with an average age of 66.7 ± 8 years. The study sample comprised mostly of female patients (90%). The mean time from the index surgery to arthroscopy was 9 months, and mean follow-up post-lysis was 17 months. Patients with ORIF reported significant pain relief (VAS, ? –3.2) and improvement in range of motion (FF, ? 36°; ER, ? 20°; IR ? 3 spinal levels) and PROs (ASES, ? 34.7; SSV ? 44.8) (P < .01) after lysis. Patients with RSA had significant improvement in ASES (? 21.8; P = .04), SSV (? 8.8; P = .04), and FF (? 38; P = .02) but did not have significant improvement in VAS (? –2; P = .2), ER (? 0°; P = 1.0), and IR (? 1 spinal level; P = .2). Satisfaction was 100% in the RSA cohort and 82% in the ORIF cohort. No complications were observed. Conclusions: Arthroscopic lysis of adhesions for stiffness after surgical management of proximal humerus fracture leads to satisfactory outcomes in most patients. Post-ORIF, patients may achieve improvement in PROs and global ROM, whereas post-RSA, patients may achieve improvement in PROs and FF but do not necessarily improve in rotational ROM. Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series. © 2023 The AuthorsÖğe The Bear Hug Test Improves Sensitivity Compared With the Belly Press Test for Identifying Subscapularis Tendon Tears, but Both Tests Miss the Majority of Partial Tears(Elsevier Inc., 2024) Kilic A.I.; Ardebol J.; Pak T.; Menendez M.E.; Denard P.J.Purpose: To investigate the performance of the bear hug (BH) and belly press (BP) tests in diagnosing tears of the subscapularis (SSC). Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on prospectively maintained data on patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) of SSC tears between 2011 and 2021. A control group also was obtained of ARCRs with an intact SSC tendon. All examinations and ARCRs were performed by one high-volume shoulder surgeon. The BH test and BP test results were compared with arthroscopic findings as the gold-standard diagnostic modality. Tear type was classified based on the Lafosse classification. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, false-positive and false-negative rates, and accuracy were calculated for both tests. Results: A total of 1,122 patients were included for analysis, 866 with intraoperatively confirmed SSC tears (77%) and 256 without (23%). The BH test diagnosed SSC tears with a sensitivity of 46.1% and a specificity of 83.2%, whereas the BP test diagnosed tears with a sensitivity of 23.3% and a specificity of 93.4%. Overall, both tests missed SSC tears in 42.3% (n = 475) of cases. The BH test had accuracy rates of 25.9% for SSC type I tear, 48.7% for type II tear, 65% for type III tear, and 81.7% for type IV-V tear. In contrast, the BP test had accuracy rates of 7.6% for type I tear, 14.7% for type II tear, 42% for type III tear, and 68.7% for type IV-V tear. Conclusions: The BH test had greater sensitivity than the BP test in identifying SSC tears. Both tests showed low accuracy in identifying SSC tears as tear size decreased. Combining both tests did not provide any additional benefits over using the BH test alone. Level of Evidence: Level III, diagnostic study. © 2023Öğe Both Radiologists and Surgeons Miss a Substantial Number of Subscapularis Tears on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Examination Prior to Shoulder Arthroscopy(Elsevier Inc., 2024) Kilic A.I.; Ardebol J.; Ghayyad K.; Pak T.; Menendez M.E.; Denard P.J.Purpose: To compare radiologist and surgeon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) interpretations of subscapularis (SSC) tears against intraoperative arthroscopic examination. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of prospectively maintained data on patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with and without SSC tears between 2011 and 2022. The radiologists’ assessments of SSC integrity were extracted from the MRI reports. One high-volume fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon assessed all MRI scans for the presence or absence of SSC tears. Radiologist and surgeon MRI-based assessments were compared against the diagnostic gold standard (intraoperative arthroscopic examination) and classified according to the Lafosse classification. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy were calculated. Results: A total of 1,090 patients were included for analysis, 839 with intraoperatively confirmed SSC tears (77%) and 251 without such tears (23%). Radiologists diagnosed SSC tears with a sensitivity of 56.0% (470 of 839 patients) and specificity of 67.3% (169 of 251 patients) via MRI, whereas the surgeon diagnosed SSC tears with a sensitivity of 71.4% (599 of 839 patients) and specificity of 78.1% (196 of 251 patients). Overall, radiologists only correctly identified 56% of SSC tears whereas the shoulder surgeon correctly identified approximately 71.4% of tears. When considering arthroscopically confirmed tear size, that is, intact, partial, full thickness [upper border], and complete, the radiologists’ diagnosis rates with MRI were 67.3%, 40.4%, 64.6%, and 78.3%, respectively, and the surgeon's diagnosis rates were 78.1%, 52.7%, 81.9%, and 97.5%, respectively. Conclusions: In a community practice, radiologists miss approximately 50% of SSC tears on MRI examination. A shoulder surgeon with the benefit of clinical examination misses 28.6% of tears on MRI. Accuracy increases as tear size increases, with radiologists detecting 40.4% of partial tears and 78.3% of complete tears and a surgeon detecting 52.7% and 97.5%, respectively. Level of Evidence: Level III, diagnostic study (nonconsecutive patients). © 2023Öğe Clinical Outcomes and Tendon Healing After Arthroscopic Isolated Subscapularis Tendon Repair: Results at Midterm Follow-up(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2024) Kilic A.I.; Zuk N.A.; Ardebol J.; Pak T.; Menendez M.E.; Denard P.J.Background: Few studies have reported clinical outcomes and tendon healing rates after arthroscopic isolated subscapularis (SSC) repair (AISR). Purpose/Hypothesis: The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and tendon healing after AISR. It was hypothesized that AISR would result in satisfactory clinical outcomes along with a high rate of tendon healing at the midterm follow-up. The secondary purpose was to assess the influence of tear size and muscle atrophy on SSC tendon healing and patient-reported outcomes. It was hypothesized that both would be negatively correlated with healing but would have no effect on clinical outcomes. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on prospectively collected data for 77 patients who underwent primary AISR between 2011 and 2021 at a single institution, with a minimum 2-year postoperative follow-up for all patients. Functional outcomes were assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, the Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), and the visual analog scale for pain. Repair techniques and concomitant procedures were also collected. SSC tendon healing was evaluated via ultrasound at the final follow-up. Linear regression analysis was performed to determine factors affecting SSC healing. Results: The mean follow-up was 58.1 ± 3.3 months. ASES scores significantly improved from 41.5 to 81.6, and the SSV improved from 38.2 to 80.5 (P <.01 for both). Among the 40 patients (51.9%) who underwent postoperative ultrasound, 87.5% showed complete tendon healing. There were no significant differences in outcome scores between healed and unhealed tendons. Increased muscle atrophy and larger tears were correlated with failure of SSC healing (? = ?0.285 [P =.015] and ? = ?0.157 [P =.045], respectively). Conclusion: Improved clinical outcomes and an overall high rate of tendon healing were seen at the midterm follow-up after AISR. Smaller tear sizes with less muscle atrophy were correlated with improved tendon healing. However, even when the tendon incompletely healed, the procedure improved functional outcomes. © The Author(s) 2024.Öğe Greater Socioeconomic Disadvantage as Measured by the Area Deprivation Index Is Associated With Failure of Healing Following Arthroscopic Repair of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears but Not With Clinical Outcomes(W.B. Saunders, 2024) Ardebol J.; Kılıç, Ali İhsan; Pak T.; Menendez M.E.; Denard P.J.Purpose: To analyze the relationship between Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and preoperative status and short-term postoperative clinical outcomes among patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs). Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on prospectively maintained data on patients who underwent ARCR of MRCTs defined as tear size ?5 cm or complete tear of at least 2 tendons, with a minimum 2-year follow-up and a valid home address between January 2015 and December 2018. Each patient's home address was mapped to the ADI to determine neighborhood disadvantage. This composite index is composed of 17 census-based indicators, including income, education, employment, and housing quality to quantify the level of socioeconomic deprivation. Ratings were recorded and categorized based on the sample's percentile. Patients were then divided into 2 groups: upper quartile (ie, most disadvantaged [?75th percentile]) and lower 3 quartiles (ie, least disadvantaged [<75th percentile]). Bivariate analysis was performed to associate ADI with patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and range of motion pre- and postoperatively, as well as complications, healing rate, satisfaction, and return to work. Patients reaching or exceeding the minimal clinically important difference for visual analog scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Veterans Rand 12-Item questionnaire, and subjective shoulder value were recorded for both cohorts. Results: Ninety-nine patients were eligible for study analysis. Preoperative PROs and range of motion were similar, except for a greater VAS for pain (6.3 vs 4.3; P < .01) and lower American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (32.2 vs 45.1; P = .01) in the most disadvantaged group. Both groups showed similar postoperative PROs scores, but greater VAS improvement was seen in the upper quartile group (? 4.2 vs ? 3.0; P = .04). In contrast, only the least-disadvantaged group significantly improved in internal rotation (P = .01) and forward flexion (18°; P < .01) from baseline. Although satisfaction, complications, and return to work were comparable (P > .05), failure of healing occurred more frequently in the most disadvantaged group (21% vs 6%; P = .03). Conclusions: Patients with MRCTs residing in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods as measured by the ADI have more pain and functional limitations before undergoing ARCR but demonstrate similar postoperative functional improvements to patients from other socioeconomic backgrounds. Failure of healing of MRCTs may be more common in disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, both groups reported similar rates of clinically important functional improvement.

Saunders, 2023) Kilic A.I.; Ardebol J.; Pak T.; Menendez M.E.; Denard P.J.Purpose: To evaluate the relation between subscapularis (SSC) Goutallier grade or coracohumeral distance (CHD) and SSC tears, as well as the relation between these radiographic variables and long head of the biceps tendon lesions. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on prospectively maintained data on patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair of SSC tears between 2011 and 2021 with at least 6 months of follow-up. Patients with identified subscapularis tears during arthroscopy were included. A control group was established by randomly selecting patients without SSC tears from the same study period. Goutallier grading and CHD were obtained from preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was conducted to define optimal cutoff values for these diagnostic measures. Results: The study included 735 patients with SSC tears and 249 patients in the control group. Comparing subscapularis tear and intact groups’ Goutallier grades revealed significant differences in infraspinatus, upper and lower SSC, and overall SSC (P < .001). No significant difference was detected in supraspinatus Goutallier grade (P = .364). An SSC tear was observed in 58.3% (n = 265) of patients with Goutallier grade 0 of the upper SSC, 77.1% (n = 195) of patients with grade 1 changes, 98.7% (n = 155) with grade 2 changes, and 100% of grade 3 or 4 changes. Goutallier grade of the upper SSC showed a significant correlation with tear size (rs = 0.533; P < .01). CHD measurements were lower in individuals with SSC tears compared to those without tears (6.6 ± 1.7 vs 9.6 ± 1.8; P < .001). Upper SSC Goutallier grade >1 had an acceptable area under the curve (AUC) of 0.742. CHD of 7.96 mm or less had an excellent predictive AUC of 0.879. Conclusions: Higher Goutallier grade and CHD narrowing are potential associations predictive of SSC tears. Routine MRI assessment of muscle of the upper SSC and the CHD can contribute to the diagnostic accuracy of SSC tears and offer valuable information regarding the severity of such tears.
