Colorado shoulder specialist Dr. Peter Millett analyzes a case study of a 48 year-old active male with a supraspinatus tear with Grade 2 atrophy. The goal of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is to restore the anatomy, biomechanics, shoulder function and promote healing. The advantages of arthroscopic repair is lower complication rates than RSTA and tendon transfer and overall improved functional outcomes. Depending on the type of rotator cuff tear will help establish the reconstruction classification. In Dr. Millett's study from AAOS in 2014 there are four tear pattern recognitions: crescent, L/Reverse L, U-Shape and Massive Contracted. These pattern recognitions are required for modern arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to help facilitate anatomic restoration, optimize biomechanical properties and tendon biology, along with decrease failure rates. For older patients, Dr. Millett conducted a study on the outcomes of rotator cuff repairs in older patients. The study found that the mean patient satisfaction was 9/10 improvement in pain affecting ADLs and ability to participate in sporting activities.]]>

0 The “Bony Bankart Bridge” Procedure Shoulder Instability | Shoudler Surgery | Greater Denver Area /slideshow/the-bony-bankart-bridge-procedure-shoulder-instability-shoudler-surgery-greater-denver/5602870 thebonybankartbridgeprocedureshoulderinstabilityshoudlersurgerygreaterdenver-101028230423-phpapp02
Arthroscopic treatment of bony Bankart lesions can be challenging. We present a new easy and reproducible technique for arthroscopic reduction and suture anchor fixation of bony Bankart fragments. A suture anchor is placed medially to the fracture on the glenoid neck, and its sutures are passed around the bony fragment through the soft tissue including the inferior glenohumeral ligament complex. The sutures of this anchor are loaded in a second anchor that is placed on the glenoid face. This creates a nontilting 2-point fixation that compresses the fragment into its bed. By use of the standard technique, additional suture anchors are used superiorly and inferiorly to the bony Bankart piece to repair the labrum and shift the joint capsule. We call this the “bony Bankart bridge” procedure. Key Words: Arthroscopy—Bony Bankart lesion—Suture bridge—Instability—Shoulder.

Recurrent posterior shoulder instability is an uncommon condition. It is often unrecognized, leading to incorrect diagnoses, delays in diagnosis, and even missed diagnoses. Posterior instability encompasses a wide spectrum of pathology, ranging from unidirectional posterior subluxation to multidirectional instability to locked posterior dislocations. Nonsurgical treatment of posterior shoulder instability is successful in most cases; however, surgical intervention is indicated when conservative treatment fails. For optimal results, the surgeon must accurately define the pattern of instability and address all soft-tissue and bony injuries present at the time of surgery. Arthroscopic treatment of posterior shoulder instability has increased application, and a variety of techniques has been described to manage posterior glenohumeral instability related to posterior capsulolabral injury.

Open surgical treatment for primary anterior glenohumeral instability is reliable and time-tested and can yield excellent clinical results. With advancements in arthroscopic technique, there has been a growing trend toward arthroscopic treatment of anterior shoulder instability. In many instances, arthroscopic treatment is preferred by patients and surgeons because it is minimally invasive, obviating the need for releasing and repairing the subscapularis; because it allows better identification and treatment of associated pathological conditions; and because it decreases morbidity and facilitates an outpatient approach. Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that the results of arthroscopic treatment of recurrent traumatic anterior instability are comparable with those achieved historically with open procedures.

Traumatic posterior instability may occasionally cause a large osteochondral lesion when the anterior humeral head is compressed against the posterior glenoid rim. This is termed a reverse Hill–Sachs lesion. Such osteochondral defects may be very large in the case of chronic locked dislocations. Even in acute posterior disclocations, closed reduction may be difficult when the humeral head is locked posteriorly over the glenoid. In such cases closed or open reduction under general anesthesia with muscle relaxation may be necessary. In cases where the anterior humeral head defect is large, reconstruction may be necessary to maintain stability. Management must be tailored to the individual patient and depends on several factors, which include the size of the defect, the duration of the dislocation, the quality of the bone, the status of the articular cartilage, and the patient’s overall health.

This improved success rate is largely the result of advances in surgical techniques and technology.

Arthroscopic treatment of the unstable shoulder has evolved rapidly and significantly in recent years. Better understanding of the pathoanatomy, advancements in technology, and improved surgical techniques have led to dramatic improvements in outcome. An arthroscopic approach includes significant advantages. Arthroscopy provides better identification of concomitant pathology, lower morbidity, less soft tissue dissection, maximal preservation of motion, shorter surgical time, and improved cosmesis. There is less pain, and many patients have an easier functional recovery, with greater returns in motion compared with traditional open techniques. Finally, some of the inherent risks of open procedures, such as postoperative subscapularis rupture, are virtually eliminated. Surgeons can now routinely expect results that are at least comparable, if not better than, those achieved with open techniques.

Eleven cases of traumatic recurrent anterior instability that required bony reconstruction for severe anterior glenoid bone loss were reviewed. In all cases, the length of the anterior glenoid defect exceeded the maximum anteroposterior radius of the glenoid based on preoperative assessment by 3-dimensional CT scan. Surgical reconstruction was performed using an intra-articular tricortical iliac crest bone graft contoured to reestablish the concavity and width of the glenoid. The graft was fixed with cannulated screws in combination with an anterior-inferior capsular repair.

A 57-year-old man with type II diabetes mellitus presented with right shoulder pain and weakness. The onset of symptoms was insidious and progressive over a two year period. The patient thought he initially injured his shoulder while swimming but noted that his symptoms had become much worse since re-injuring it while throwing a tennis ball 6 months before presentation. The pain was localized to his right shoulder and often awakened him from sleep. He had taken nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) for the 6 months after re-injuring the shoulder and completed an intermittent course of physical therapy that included a rotator cuff strengthening program. He was an active person who enjoyed hunting and fishing but had been unable to do either because of the shoulder problems.

Isolated ruptures of the subscapularis and anterosuperior rotator cuff lesions are encountered more rarely than supraspinatus or anteroposterior rotator cuff tears. In certain circumstances, reconstruction of the tendon may not be possible due to fatty degeneration and atrophy of the subscapularis muscle or poor tendon quality. Tendon transfer may represent the only surgical option for treatment. A pectoralis major tendon transfer is an acceptable salvage option for irreparable subscapularis tendon ruptures. Although limited functional goals may be expected in most cases, the majority of patients obtain a good pain relief, which improves their function below chest level. Addition of the teres major component to the transfer may be beneficial in cases where both the upper and lower portion of the subscapularis muscle is irreparable.

In an effort to increase the immediate strength of a rotator cuff repair and to simulate the standard open reconstruction with its effective suture fixation, we have developed a novel technique for suture anchor reconstruction of the rotator cuff. The technique, termed mattress double anchor (MDA), is simple and adaptable. It makes use of 2 suture anchors that are placed independently and then connected by a suture loop. The technique produces a repair construct that distributes the stress across 2 anchors. The method also restores a large surface area for healing between the rotator cuff and the tuberosity.]]>

Twenty fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were randomly assigned to 4 arthroscopic repair techniques. The repair was performed as either a single-row suture anchor rotator cuff repair technique or 1 of 3 double-row techniques: diamond, mattress double anchor, or modified mattress double anchor. Angle of loading, anchor type, bone mineral density, anchor distribution, angle of anchor insertion, arthroscopic technique, and suture type and size were all controlled. Footprint length and width were quantified before and after repair. Displacement with cyclic loading and load to failure were determined.

Due to the ongoing controversy regarding the exact causes of injury in the thrower's shoulder, the authors will not attempt to provide a single unifying theory. Instead, we will provide an overview clarifying the terminology and describing common pathologic findings, and presenting the various theories on shoulder injuries in throwing athletes. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the biomechanics, presentation, diagnosis and treatment of common shoulder injuries in overhead throwing athletes.

Pathologic conditions in the shoulder of a throwing athlete frequently represent a breakdown of multiple elements of the shoulder restraint system, both static and dynamic, and also a breakdown in the kinetic chain. Physical therapy and rehabilitation for shoulder injuries should be, with only a few exceptions, the primary treatment for a throwing athlete before operative treatment is considered. Articular-sided partial rotator cuff tears and superior labral tears are common in throwing athletes. Operative treatment for shoulder injuries can be successful when nonoperative measures have failed. Throwing athletes who have a glenohumeral internal rotation deficit have a good response, in most cases, to stretching of the posteroinferior aspect of the capsule.

0 Golf Shoulder Injuries | Dr. Peter Millett | Orthopedic Surgeon - Vail Colorado /slideshow/shoulder-injuries-in-golf/5462625 shoulderinjuriesingolf-101016180534-phpapp02
Although often perceived as a leisurely activity, golf can be a demanding sport, which can result in shoulder injuries, usually from overuse and sometimes from poor technique. The shoulder is a commonly affected site, with the lead shoulder, or the left shoulder in the right-handed golfer, particularly vulnerable to injury. A thorough understanding of the biomechanics of the golf swing is help- ful in diagnosing and managing these injuries. Common shoulder injuries affecting golfers include subacromial impingement, acromioclavicular arthrosis, rotator cuff tear, glenohumeral instability, and glenohumeral arthrosis. Although the majority of patients with these disorders will respond to nonsurgical treatment, including rest and a structured program of physical therapy, further benefits can be obtained with subtle modifications of the golf swing. Those golfers who fail to respond to nonsurgical management can often return to competitive play with appropriate surgical treatment.
