Objectives: Glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) remains a common cause of shoulder pain, loss of shoulder range of motion, and upper extremity dysfunction. Few long-term outcome studies exist evaluating glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) treatment with arthroscopic management. The purpose of this study was to determine outcomes, risk factors for failure, and survivorship for the comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM) procedure for the treatment of GHOA at minimum 10-year follow-up. It was hypothesized that while some patients would progress to total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), the majority of patients would demonstrate sustained improvement in patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction without conversion to TSA at long term follow-up. Methods: The CAM procedure was performed on a consecutive series of patients with advanced GHOA who opted for joint preservation surgery that otherwise met criteria for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). At minimum 10-year follow-up, pre- and post-operative outcome measures collected included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH), Short Form–12 (SF-12) Physical Component Summary (PCS), visual analog scale for pain, and satisfaction scores. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed with failure defined as progression to arthroplasty. Results: Thirty-eight CAM procedures were performed with 10-year minimum follow-up (range, 10-14 years) with a mean age of 53 years (range, 27-68) at time of surgery. Kaplan Meier survivorship curve showing 75.3% CAM survivorship (Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management) for glenohumeral arthritis at 5 years and 63.2% at 10 years in Figure 1. Those who progressed to arthroplasty did so at a mean of 4.7 years (range, 0.8-9.6 years). For those who did not undergo arthroplasty, ASES scores significantly improved post-operatively at both 5 and 10 years (63.3-89.6, p<0.001; 63.3-80.6, p=.007) (Table 1). CAM failure was associated with severe pre-operative humeral head incongruity in 93.8% of failures compared to 50.0.% of patients who did not go onto arthroplasty (p= 0.008). Median satisfaction was 7.5 out of 10. Conclusions: Significant improvement in patient reported outcomes were sustained at minimum 10-year follow-up in young patients with GHOA who underwent a CAM procedure. Survivorship rate at minimum 10-year follow-up was 63.2%. Humeral head flattening and severe joint incongruity were risk factors for CAM failure. The CAM procedure is an effective joint preserving treatment for GHOA in appropriately selected patients with sustained positive outcomes at 10 years. [Table: see text]

Background: Few long-term outcome studies exist evaluating glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) treatment with arthroscopic management. Purpose: To determine outcomes, risk factors for failure, and survivorship for the comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM) procedure for the treatment of GHOA at minimum 10-year follow-up. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The CAM procedure was performed on a consecutive series of patients with advanced GHOA who opted for joint preservation surgery and otherwise met criteria for total shoulder arthroplasty. At minimum 10-year follow-up, postoperative outcome measures included change in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) Physical Component Summary, and visual analog scale for pain, along with the QuickDASH (shortened version of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and satisfaction score. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed, with failure defined as progression to arthroplasty. Results: In total, 38 CAM procedures were performed with 10-year minimum follow-up (range, 10-14 years) with a mean patient age of 53 years (range, 27-68 years) at the time of surgery. Survivorship was 75.3% at 5 years and 63.2% at minimum 10 years. Those who progressed to arthroplasty did so at a mean 4.7 years (range, 0.8-9.6 years). For those who did not undergo arthroplasty, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores significantly improved postoperatively at 5 years (63.3 to 89.6; P < .001) and 10 years (63.3 to 80.6; P = .007). CAM failure was associated with severe preoperative humeral head incongruity in 93.8% of failures as compared with 50.0% of patients who did not go on to arthroplasty ( P = .008). Median satisfaction was 7.5 out of 10. Conclusion: Significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes were sustained at minimum 10-year follow-up in young patients with GHOA who underwent a CAM procedure. The survivorship rate at minimum 10-year follow-up was 63.2%. Humeral head flattening and severe joint incongruity were risk factors for CAM failure. The CAM procedure is an effective joint-preserving treatment for GHOA in appropriately selected patients, with sustained positive outcomes at 10 years.

Background Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty improves pain and function with a reported reoperation rate of approximately 1% per year. With improved glenoid fixation, reverse shoulder arthroplasty implants may outperform anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. We evaluate the functional outcomes and reoperation rate of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty versus reverse shoulder arthroplasty at a minimum eight-year follow-up or revision. Methods Between 2005 and 2010, 187 shoulders (137 anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, 50 reverse shoulder arthroplasty) were retrospectively reviewed at a mean of 8.8 years. The mean age at surgery was 67 years. Females were more commonly treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Both groups had similar body mass index and comorbidities. Outcome measures evaluated included abduction, forward elevation, external rotation, internal rotation, Simple Shoulder Test, Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Score, University of California Los Angeles Shoulder score, and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. Results At follow-up, anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty demonstrated greater overhead range of motion and external rotation. All patient-reported outcomes remained similar between groups. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty patients were more likely to rate shoulders as much better or better after surgery (90% versus 67%, p = 0.004). Complications were observed in 24% of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties and 8% of reverse shoulder arthroplasties (p = 0.02). Reoperation was more common in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties (23% versus 4%, p = 0.003). Discussion At mid-to-long-term follow-up, reverse shoulder arthroplasties demonstrated significantly fewer complications and reoperations than anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties. Despite similar patient-reported outcomes, reverse shoulder arthroplasty patients were more likely to be satisfied with their shoulder.

The incidence of patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) for glenohumeral osteoarthritis has been steadily increasing in the United States. TSA with humeral head resurfacing with an inlay glenoid using OVO®/OVO® Motion (Arthrosurface, Inc., Franklin, Massachusetts) is an anatomic implant solution to shoulder arthritis. Anatomic resurfacing has demonstrated promising clinical- and patient-reported outcomes in the literature in both active and low-demand patients. Furthermore, patients are capable of returning to high-demand activities, such as weightlifting, which are restricted with conventional total shoulder replacement designs. Resurfacing designs offer a simple solution to a complex problem.

Background: Hybrid glenoid components in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) utilize both polyethylene and metal components to provide short-term stability and long-term biologic fixation through bone ingrowth. Questions/Purpose: We sought to systematically review the literature for studies that assessed outcomes of TSA performed using hybrid glenoid components. Methods: PubMed, Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Embase were searched systematically for articles measuring clinical and patient-reported outcomes and rates of complication and revision following TSA using a hybrid glenoid component. Results: Seven studies with 593 shoulders were included in this review. The mean age of patients was 65 ± 1 years, and 46% of the population was male. Mean follow-up was 50 months (4.2 years). The overall complication rate was 7% and rate of revision was 2.5%; glenoid radiolucency was present in 33% of shoulders at mean follow-up of 50 months. Mean improvements in forward elevation, external rotation, internal rotation score, and abduction were 49°, 28°, 2 points, and 42°, respectively. Mean improvements in Constant, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) scores were 36 points, 52 points, and 17 points, respectively. Conclusion: Our review found that TSA using hybrid glenoid components results in low rates of complication and revision at early follow-up. Long-term studies are warranted to understand more fully the role of hybrid glenoid components in TSA.

Aims Existing literature indicates that inferiorly inclined glenoid baseplates following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) produce better outcomes compared to superiorly inclined baseplates. We aim to compare clinical outcomes for RSAs with superiorly and neutrally/inferiorly inclined lateralized glenospheres. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 154 consecutive patients undergoing RSA between July 2015 and July 2017 by one single-fellowship trained surgeon (AJ). Two raters (KAM and MVS) independently measured glenoid inclination in preoperative and minimum two year follow-up radiographs (anteroposterior/Grashey) using the RSA angle. Inclination was then compared to patient-reported outcomes, range of motion (ROM), and independently assessed degree of scapular notching and staging of heterotopic ossification at two year follow-up. Results Median postoperative inclination for each group was found to be -3.6° (interquartile range (IQR) -2.1 to -6.9) and 6.0° (3.2° to 10.1°) for the neutrally/inferiorly and superiorly inclined cohorts, respectively. Preoperative inclination was highly associated with postoperative inclination (p = 0.004). When comparing superiorly and neutrally/inferiorly inclined glenospheres, there were no differences in heterotopic ossification (p = 0.606), scapular notching (p = 0.367), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (p = 0.419), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (p = 0.417), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score (p = 0.290), forward elevation (p = 0.161), external rotation (p = 0.537), or internal rotation (p = 0.656). Conclusion Compared to neutral and inferior inclination, up to 6° ± 3° of superior glenoid baseplate inclination on a lateralized RSA design produces no differences in postoperative ROM or patient-reported outcomes, and produces similar levels of scapular notching and heterotopic ossification. Additionally, the degree of preoperative inclination represents an important factor in surgical decision-making as it is strongly associated with postoperative inclination. It is important to note that the findings of this study are only reflective of lateralized RSA prostheses. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(2):360–365.

Objectives: Optimal surgical indications for massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCT) without arthritis remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR), partial rotator cuff repair (PR), and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) at greater than 2 years follow-up and identify any characteristics or risk factors which may correlate with outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from a single tertiary academic medical center of consecutive patients undergoing surgical treatment for massive irreparable RCT without arthritis using SCR, PR (using interval slide and/or margin convergence), or rTSA from 01/01/2006 to 01/01/2018 was performed. Patients were required to be at least 18 years of age, have intraoperative confirmation of a massive, irreparable, RCT without arthritis, failed attempts at prior non-operative management, and a minimum of two years of clinical post-operative data. Patient demographics and pre-operative clinical findings (strength and range of motion (ROM), external rotation (ER) lag, pseudoparalysis, subscapularis function) were collected. Post-operative data included complications, patient satisfaction, strength and ROM, and patient reported outcomes (ASES, VAS, SANE). Multivariate analysis was also performed to identify risk factors. Results: 32 patients met inclusion criteria for SCR, 24 for PR, and 42 for rTSA (mean follow-up years: SCR 3.2; PR 4.0; rTSA 3.5; p=0.02). The rTSA patients were older (66.2 years; SCR - 57.3; PR - 59.0; p=0.0001) and more likely to be female (61.9%; SCR - 12.5%; PR - 25.0%; p<0.001) than SCR or PR. SCR patients had a larger tear measured on pre-operative MRI (4.23 cm; PR - 3.64; rTSA - 3.63; p=0.01). Intra-operative evaluation demonstrated the subscapularis to be non-functional in 37.5% for SCR, 4.2% for PR, and 21.4% for rTSA (p=0.01). There were no differences in other patient demographics and characteristics (Table 1). Pre-operative assessment demonstrated the lowest ASES scores in the rTSA group (29.48; SCR - 44.17; PR - 41.51; p=0.02), the lowest SANE scores in the SCR group (25.83; PR - 51.56; rTSA - 40.00; p=0.03), and no difference in VAS. Pre-operative active forward elevation range of motion (ROM) was significantly better in the PR group (152.29 degrees) but comparable between SCR (116.25) and rTSA (105.49; p<0.001) (Table 2). Pseudoparalysis was present in 18.8% of SCR, 0% of PR, and 14.3% of rTSA patients (p=0.08). There were no differences in the rates of positive clinical exam findings or weakness (p>0.18 for all). Comparing pre-operative to post-operative outcomes within respective groups (Table 3), all groups saw significant post-operative improvement in strength in all planes and all patient reported outcomes (p<0.036 for all). SCR and rTSA both demonstrated improved forward elevation ROM post-operatively while PR did not (p=0.96). No group experienced a significant improvement in internal or external rotation ROM post-operatively (p>0.12 for all). When comparing between the three groups (Table 4), rTSA had significantly worse post-operative ROM in all planes when compared to SCR and PR (p<0.003 for all). There were no differences between groups in post-operative strength in any plane (p>0.16 for all) or patient reported outcomes (ASES p=0.14; VAS p=0.86; SANE p=0.61). Patients were satisfied or somewhat satisfied in 81.2% of SCR cases, 87.5% of PR, and 95.3% of rTSA (p=0.33). Regarding surgical complications, 3 of 32 (9.4%) SCR patients required conversion to rTSA, while 3 of 24 (12.5%) PR patients required reoperation (2 revision repairs, one conversion to rTSA). There were 4 surgical complications among 42 rTSA patients (9.5%) (2 acromial stress fractures - 1 operative, 1 non-operative; 1 dislocation requiring open reduction). There were 4 non-surgical complications in the SCR group (2 falls resulting in 1 distal radius fracture and 1 HAGL lesion; 1 persistent pain; 1 persistent stiffness) and 1 stroke in the rTSA group. One SCR patient and 3 rTSA patients were deceased within the follow-up time period. Multivariate analysis demonstrated no independent predictors of revision surgery, and the only independent predictors of patient satisfaction to be improved pre-op active ER ROM (0.03) and strength (p=0.048). However, older age (0.03), improved pre-op internal rotation (IR) strength (0.03), and having SCR (p=0.048) or PR (p=0.045) rather than rTSA were independent predictors of an improved post-op ASES score. Male gender was found to be an independent predictor of improved post-operative forward elevation ROM (p=0.03) (Table 7), while undergoing rTSA was an independent predictor of worse post-operative IR and ER ROM (p<0.009 for all). An increased AH interval distance was an independent predictor of improved post-operative strength across groups for all planes of motion (p<0.02). The presence of pseudoparalysis pre-operatively was predictive of worse post-op ER strength (p=0.003), but no difference in any other plane (p>0.05 for all). Conclusions: SCR, PR, and rTSA for massive, irreparable RCT without arthritis all significantly improved post-op strength and outcome scores with >80% patient satisfaction, but with rTSA having worse post-op ROM. For all patients, increased pre-op ER ROM and strength correlated with improved patient satisfaction, while increased AH distance correlated with improved post-op strength. No further risk factors were identified, and further study is needed to continue to delineate indications for each operation.

Background: Patient selection is critical when choosing between arthroscopic joint preservation and total shoulder arthroplasty in young patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA). Purpose: To identify prognostic factors predictive of early failure in patients undergoing comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM) for GHOA. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 107 shoulders in 98 patients with minimum 2-year follow-up who underwent CAM were identified and evaluated. All shoulders met clinical and radiographic criteria for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), but the patients opted for joint preservation with arthroscopic management. Radiographic and preoperative factors were analyzed to determine predictors of early failure, defined as progression to TSA within the study period. Results: There were 72 men and 26 women with a mean age of 52 years (range, 29-77 years). Seventeen (15.8%) of 107 shoulders progressed to TSA at a mean of 2 years (range, 0.46-8.2 years). Shoulder status for the rest had a mean follow-up of 3.9 years (range, 2-9.4 years). There were a number of radiographic features that were correlated with early failure. Patients who failed had significantly less preoperative joint space than did those who succeeded (1.3 vs 2.6 mm; P = .004). Higher Kellgren-Lawrence grades for osteoarthritis and age older than 50 were also associated with failure. Shoulders with Walch type B2 and C glenoid were significantly more likely to fail than were Walch types A1, A2, and B1 ( P < .05). Conclusion: The CAM procedure has been shown to reliably improve pain and function in active patients with advanced GHOA; however, it is important to inform patients about the limitations of the procedure. Patients with less joint space and abnormal posterior glenoid shape were significantly more likely to progress to early failure.

Background: Modern rotator cuff repair techniques demonstrate favorable early and midterm outcomes, but long-term results have yet to be reported. Purpose: To determine 10-year outcomes and survivorship after arthroscopic double-row transosseous-equivalent (TOE) rotator cuff repair. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence 4. Methods: The primary TOE rotator cuff repair procedure was performed using either a knotted suture bridge or knotless tape bridge technique on a series of patients with 1 to 3 tendon full-thickness rotator cuff tears involving the supraspinatus. Only patients who were 10 years postsurgery were included. Patient-reported outcomes were collected pre- and postoperatively, including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH), and satisfaction. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed. Failure was defined as progression to revision surgery. Results: A total of 91 shoulders (56 men, 31 women) were included between October 2005 and December 2009. Mean follow-up was 11.5 years (range, 10.0-14.1 years). Of 91 shoulders, 5 (5.5%) failed and required revision surgery. Patient-reported outcomes for patients who survived were known for 80% (69/86). Outcomes scores at final follow-up were as follows: ASES, 93.1 ± 10.8; SANE, 87.5 ± 14.2; QuickDASH, 11.1 ± 13.5; and SF-12 physical component summary (PCS), 49.2 ± 10.1. There were statistically significant declines in ASES, SANE, and SF-12 PCS from the 5-year to 10-year follow-up, but none of these changes met the minimally clinically important difference threshold. Median satisfaction at final follow-up was 10 (range, 3-10). From this cohort, Kaplan-Meier survivorship demonstrated a 94.4% survival rate at a minimum of 10 years. Conclusion: Arthroscopic TOE rotator cuff repair demonstrates high patient satisfaction and low revision rates at a mean follow-up of 11.5 years. This information may be directly utilized in surgical decision making and preoperative patient counseling regarding the longevity of modern double-row rotator cuff repair.
