RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Several descriptions of the anatomy of the pectoralis major (PM) have been published. However, the precise description of its distal humeral insertion, which is involved in traumatic tears, remains controversial. The distal tendon is classically described as being made of two layers, one anterior (ALPM) and one posterior (PLPM), which regroup at their distal edge. The clavicular head (CH) participates in the ALPM according to most authors. However, others describe a more superficial termination in a close relationship with the deltoid humeral insertion. The objective of this anatomical work is to precisely describe the anatomy of the CH and its relationship with the rest of the distal PM tendon and the distal deltoid tendon. MATERIALS: Twenty-three fresh cadaveric specimens were dissected (41 shoulders). The entire PM as well as the deltoid were exposed. Several measurements were collected to establish the relationships between the distal tendon of the CH and the PM, the deltoid and the bony landmarks. RESULTS: In all cases, the CH muscular portion sits on the ALPM but does not participate in the connective structure of the PM distal tendon. The inferolateral part of its distal end gives a thin tendinous portion that inserts lower on the humerus in conjunction with the distal tendon of the deltoid. In 24.4%, this tendon was more difficult to isolate but was always observed. CONCLUSIONS: The distal tendon of the PM only comes from the muscle fibres of its sternal head. The CH fibres do not contribute to this tendon but appear to terminate in a separate tendon fusing with the humeral insertion of the deltoid: the deltopectoral tendon. This could explain the different patterns of tears observed in clinical practice.

RESUMEN

HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteolysis rate, graft remodeling, and risk factors for osteolysis at the 1-year threshold after an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double-button fixation. METHOD: In this multicenter, retrospective study, postoperative computed tomography scans obtained after an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double-button fixation to treat anterior shoulder instability were analyzed at 15 days and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Graft volume, dimensions, and morphologic remodeling were analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients were included (mean age, 26 years). At 1 year, osteolysis occurred in 19 of 27 patients (70%). The volume initially decreased until 6 months' follow-up (-35%; range, -75% to +26%) and then increased until our last follow-up. At 1 year, the graft volume decreased by 17% (range, -61% to +56%) compared with the immediate postoperative volume. In multivariate analysis, the rate of osteolysis was inversely associated with an unhealed graft at 3 months (P = .02; ß coefficient = -44.50 [95% confidence interval, -81 to -8]). The maximal height of the graft significantly grew 0.2 cm (range, -55 to +124 mm) (P = .015). In the sagittal plane, osteolysis occurred in the superior part in 100% of patients (27 of 27) whereas bone formation occurred in the inferior part. In the axial plane, osteolysis occurred in the anterior part whereas bone formation occurred in the posterior part. In the articular part, the observed remodeling was aimed to obtain a new anatomic and congruent glenoid. CONCLUSIONS: At 1 year after an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double-button fixation, osteolysis occurred in 70% of patients. The rate of osteolysis was 17% of the initial volume. Osteolysis occurred mainly during the first 6 months, in the anterior and superior parts. Remodeling led to a circular anatomic glenoid. This osteolysis did not cause any recurrence of instability or require revision surgery.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Arthroscopic excision of rotator cuff tendon calcifications is a common procedure in cases where medical treatment has failed. The objective of this study was to evaluate how intraoperative ultrasound contributes to improving the interventional procedure. Our hypothesis was that through the use of ultrasonography the frequency of postoperative residual calcium deposits could be reduced without increasing operating time. METHODS: In a non-randomized single-operator comparative study, 56 patients who underwent arthroscopic excision of calcification were retrospectively included: group 1 (n = 20) without ultrasound guidance and group 2 (n = 36) with guidance. Operating time was measured and localization failures noted. Radiological follow-up was carried out with x-ray images at conventional angles and ultrasound at 1.5, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Clinical follow-up was based on the Constant score (CS) at 6 months. RESULTS: The mean operating time was 18 min in group 1 (9-33 ± 8.1) and 22 min in group 2 (10-48 ± 7.7) (p = 0.03). The rate of failure to identify calcifications was 8% and 2% in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.22). At 6 months, four calcifications were still visible on radiography in group 1 vs 1 in group 2 (20% vs 2.7%, p = 0.03). The mean CS increased from 35 to 81 points in group 1 (p < 0.001) and from 34 to 82 points in group 2 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Despite an increase in operating time, intraoperative ultrasound improves the process of excising rotator cuff intratendinous calcifications, prevents localization failures and enables a more complete extraction.

RESUMEN

Background: Martinel et al described an intraoperative ultrasound technique to easier identify calcification (CA) under arthroscopy. Our hypothesis was that intraoperative ultrasound monitoring allowed better evacuation of calcific tendinopathy. Our aim was to determine whether ultrasound monitoring improved the short-term clinical and radiological outcomes of calcific tendinopathy. Methods: A prospective, single-center, single-operator, consecutive study conducted between February 2020 and June 2023. The inclusion criterion was surgical treatment for evacuation of symptomatic macro-centimetric CA type A or B. The first 20 patients were operated on using the standard surgical technique and the next 20 under ultrasound control. The mean age at surgery was 49.8 years (minimum: 28 years; maximum: 64 years). Patients were reviewed at 6 weeks and 3 months. The evacuation of the CA was checked at 6 weeks by X-ray. Results: In the standard technique group, the mean preoperative Constant score was 41.4/100 (±15.07). Postoperatively, the Constant score was 58.88/100 (±15.28) at 6 weeks and 69.16/100 (±13.86) at 3 months. The mean preoperative Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) was 39.0% (±18.61). Postoperatively, the SSV was 64.0% (±17.21) at 6 weeks and 79.47% (±16.06) at 3 months. In the ultrasound control group, the preoperative Constant score was 44.48/100 (±14.28) and 58.18/100 (±15.64) at 6 weeks and 66.87/100 (±18.45) at 3 months postoperatively. The mean preoperative SSV was 40.0% (±16.54) and 61.75% (±18.59) at 6 weeks and 76.05% (±19.62) at 3 months postoperatively. There was no significant postoperative difference in Constant score (P = .732) or SSV (P = .566) between the 2 groups. There was a significant difference (P = .004) between the 2 groups in terms of complete evacuation of the CA with the standard technique in 65% of cases (13 patients out of 20) and with intraoperative ultrasound monitoring in 95% of cases (19 patients out of 20). Conclusion: There was no significant postoperative difference in Constant score and SSV between the 2 groups in the short term. Evacuation of calcification was significantly better with ultrasound monitoring.

RESUMEN

Lacertus syndrome consists in proximal median nerve entrapment with median nerve compression at the lacertus fibrosus, causing hand weakness and fatigue, forearm pain and occasional numbness. Recent advances emphasized the importance of clinical examination, due to limitations in electromyographic diagnosis and delayed diagnosis. The Hagert clinical triad, lacertus notch sign, lacertus antagonist test and taping help accurate diagnosis. Non-operative treatment should be tried; and surgical techniques, whether open or ultrasound-guided under WALANT (wide-awake, local anesthesia, no tourniquet) show promising outcomes. Improved awareness, accurate diagnosis and innovative treatments enhance patient care for this challenging condition.

RESUMEN

Arthroscopic distal clavicle transfer is an effective option to treat anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. The use of this free bone graft in an all-inside procedure, with a cortical button fixation makes the construct simpler to perform and allows to be combined with a Hill-Sachs Remplissage to address humeral bone defect. The morbidity of the donor site is low and provide the biologic capacity of an autograft. We report a step-by-step procedure, and the rationale are discussed.

RESUMEN

A 48-year-old right-handed male surgeon complained of finger numbness, pain, cramps and weakness of 2 years' progression, without improvement after 2 carpal tunnel corticosteroid injections and splinting. The patient was diagnosed with lacertus syndrome with Hagert's triad. Sensory collapse test was positive, but the sensations during the test were not consistent with the literature. Therefore, a sensory collapse test was performed in combination with electromyography; immediately following cutaneous stimulation, partial transient collapse in muscle tone was observed, without complete interruption. Following surgical release of the ipsilateral median nerve at the lacertus fibrosus, the symptoms were resolved, and combined sensory collapse test and electromyography revealed minimal to no collapse in muscle tone following cutaneous stimulation.

RESUMEN

Background: Because rugby is a collision sport, it exposes players to a high risk of recurrence after anterior shoulder stabilization. Therefore, the choice of surgical procedure warrants close attention in order to optimize the time to return to sport and the stability of the shoulder throughout the player's career. Hypothesis: The open Latarjet procedure would allow for a faster return to play and provide a lower rate of recurrence than the open Bankart repair at long-term follow-up. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The study retrospectively enrolled 62 competitive rugby players who had undergone an anterior shoulder instability procedure and had at least 5 years of follow-up data. A total of 32 players treated with an open Bankart repair (BK group) were compared with 30 players (31 shoulders) treated with an open Latarjet procedure (LT group). Outcomes between groups were compared with the Rowe score, Walch-Duplay score, recurrence rate, and osteoarthritis evaluation on plain radiograph (Samilson classification). Results: The recurrence rate was significantly higher at 18.8% for the BK group (mean follow-up, 6.9 ± 1.7 years) compared with 3.3% for the LT group (mean follow-up, 6.2 ± 1.4 years) (P = .04). No postoperative complications occurred in the BK group, whereas 1 infection and 1 hematoma required a second surgery in the LT group (P = .14). In the BK and LT groups, 97% and 90% of players, respectively, were able to return to rugby at the same level or higher (P = .27), at a mean time of 8 and 6.3 months, respectively (P = .03). The mean Rowe and Walch-Duplay scores were not significantly different between the groups; however, the osteoarthritis rate was significantly higher in the BK versus the LT group (68% vs 38%, respectively; P = .03); 23% of patients, all in the BK group, had Samilson grade 2 osteoarthritis. Conclusion: The open Latarjet procedure outperformed the open Bankart procedure in terms of stability, time to return to play, and radiological outcomes at long-term follow-up in competitive rugby players.

RESUMEN

Background: The presence of a lateral meniscus root tear (LMRT) in patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear makes the knee more unstable and increases the risk of osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis. An all-inside suture repair technique without bone tunnels has been proposed to treat LMRT. Purpose: To compare the 1-year postoperative findings between patients who underwent ACL reconstruction combined with LMRT repair (LMRT group) and patients who underwent isolated ACL reconstruction (control group). Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The LMRT group consisted of 19 patients, and the control group consisted of 56 patients. In this study, the authors compared the postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings (meniscal extrusion, ghost sign, and hyperintensity in the tibial plateau beneath the LMRT), functional outcomes (International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC], Lysholm, and Tegner scores), and reoperation rate between groups. The primary endpoint was analyzed by comparing, in the LMRT group, the 1-sided 97.5% confidence interval (CI) of the mean lateral meniscal extrusion at 1 year to the limit of noninferiority (fixed at 0.51). To take into account imbalanced baseline characteristics between groups, adjusted mean meniscal extrusion (with 1-sided 97.5% CI) was assessed using a linear regression model. Results: The mean follow-up was 12.2 months (range, 7.7-14.7 months) in the control group and 11.5 months (range, 7.1-13.0 months) in the LMRT group (P = .06). For meniscal extrusion, the LMRT group was noninferior to the control group. The mean meniscal extrusion was 2.19 mm (97.5% CI, -infinity to 2.68 mm) in the LMRT group and 2.03 mm (97.5% CI,-infinity to 2.27 mm) in the control group, indicating that the upper boundary of the 1-sided 97.5% CI in the LMRT group was less than the noninferiority threshold of 2.78 (ie, 2.27 mm + 0.51 mm = 2.78 mm). There was a statistically significant difference in the IKDC score between the LMRT and control groups (77.2 ± 8.1 vs 80.3 ± 7.3, respectively; P = .04). There was no between-group difference in the other MRI parameters, the Lysholm and Tegner scores, or the reoperation rate. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in extrusion on MRI or clinical outcomes at 1-year follow-up in patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with all-inside LMRT repair compared with patients who did not have an LMRT.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The semitendinosus (ST) tendon can be used by itself as a graft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. An increasing number of these procedures are being done while preserving the ST's tibial attachment, but there are no data on the remodeling of an attached ST (aST) graft. PURPOSE: To compare graft remodeling on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at 1 year after ACL reconstruction between standard free ST graft and aST graft. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled 180 patients who were undergoing ACL reconstruction: 90 with the ST graft and 90 with the aST graft. The analysis was performed 1 year after the surgery. The main endpoint was the signal-to-noise quotient (SNQ) on MRI scans (T1-weighted sequence). The secondary endpoints were tibial tunnel widening (TTW), graft maturation (Howell classification), retear rate, new surgery rate, Simple Knee Value, Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, postoperative Tegner score, difference between pre- and postoperative Tegner scores, ACL-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI), return-to-sports rate, and time to return to sports. RESULTS: The mean adjusted SNQ was 1.18 (95% CI, 0.72-1.65) in the aST group and 3.88 (95% CI, 3.42-4.34) in the ST group (P < .001). The new surgery rate was 2.2% in the aST group and 10% in the ST group (P = .029). The median Lysholm score was significantly higher in the aST group (99; interquartile range [IQR], 95-100) than in the ST group (95; IQR, 91-99) (P = .004). The mean time to return to sports was significantly shorter in the aST group (248.73 ± 141.62 days) than the ST group (317.23 ± 144.69 days) (P = .002). No statistically significant difference was found between groups in the TTW (P = .503), Howell graft maturity grade (P = .149), retear rate (P > .999), Simple Knee Value (P = .061), postoperative Tegner score (P = .320), pre- to postoperative difference in Tegner score (P = .317), ACL-RSI (P = .097), IKDC score (P = .621), and return-to-sports rate (P > .999). CONCLUSION: At 1 year postoperatively, remodeling of an ST graft assessed using MRI is better when its distal attachment is left intact.

RESUMEN

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is mainly based on 2 proven biomechanical concepts: suture bridge and tension band. This Technical Note describes the use of a combination of these 2 techniques to repair extensive lesions with only 3 anchors. Besides being less expensive, the use of a limited number of anchors is part of a global medicoeconomic and eco-responsible approach to our surgical activities.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The arthroscopic bone block procedure according to Latarjet remains a controversial subject, and few comparative studies have demonstrated the benefit of arthroscopy over open surgery. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was to compare both procedures by analyzing the short-term clinical results. The hypothesis was that the arthroscopic procedure is superior to the standard open procedure. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHOD: This was a retrospective comparative study. Patients treated for chronic anterior instability by arthroscopic Latarjet with double cortical buttons (group A) or open Latarjet with screws (group O) with a minimum follow-up of 12 months were included. Intraoperative (duration, complications) and postoperative (complications, pain, mobility, functional scores, resumption of sport, Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scar aesthetics, satisfaction) data were compared. RESULTS: In total, 50 patients were included (n = 24 in group A, n = 26 in group O). Operating time was longer in group A (103 vs 61 min; P = .001). The average number of days on analgesics was higher in group A (8.9 vs 5.3 days; P = .04). The complication rate was similar for the 2 groups (12.5% vs 27%; P = .46). At 3 months, the loss of external rotation was greater in group A (-33° vs -18°; P = .01), and resumption of sports was less frequent (11% vs 48%; P = .01). At 12 months, the average scores were excellent, with no significants differences between the 2 groups: Walch-Duplay average, 90 points; Rowe, 94 points; Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), 92.5%; sport SSV, 85%; and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale score, 17.2 points. CONCLUSION: Over the short term, this comparative study did not prove the superiority of the cortical-button arthroscopic Latarjet procedure over the open Latarjet procedure. A delay in the resumption of sports, longer time to recover range of motion, and no benefit regarding postoperative pain or the aesthetic aspect of the scar were observed in this study with the arthroscopic procedure.

RESUMEN

Background: Arthroscopic Bankart repair with Hill-Sachs remplissage (BHSR) is suggested for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability in the presence of an engaging humeral lesion. The objective of this study is to report the long-term clinical and radiological results of this procedure. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study including 51 patients who underwent surgery by BHSR for anterior shoulder instability with engaging Hill-Sachs lesion and who were reviewed after a minimum follow-up of 5 years. The mean age was 26 years (16-49; ±8.4) and 70% of the patients practiced sports. The average for Instability Severity Index score was 3.3 points (3-7; ±1.7). At the last follow-up, active range of motion, Subjective Shoulder Value, Walch-Duplay and Rowe scores, and the incidence of osteoarthritis according to the Samilson classification were assessed. Results: At a mean follow-up of 87 months (60.0-124; ±17), 83% of the patients had resumed their sports activities. The mean Rowe, Walch-Duplay, and Subjective Shoulder Value scores were respectively 88 points (51-100; ±12), 82 points (50-100; ±16.4), and 89% (50-100; ±8). There was a recurrence of dislocation or subluxation for 8 patients (15.6%). In univariate analysis, patients who were unstable at follow-up had a deeper Hill-Sachs lesion (25% vs. 18% of the humeral head radius, P = .04) and were younger (19 vs. 27 years, P = .04). Radiographically, 17% of the patients showed signs of osteoarthritis (14% grade 1). Conclusion: Considering that at a follow-up of more than 5 years, the failure rate was more than 15% of the BHSR, this procedure should be recommended with caution in case of deep Hill-Sachs lesions in young patients. The incidence of osteoarthritis after this procedure was acceptable, with few severe forms.

RESUMEN

Calcifying tendinopathies of the rotator cuff that do not respond to conservative treatment may require arthroscopic removal. Intraoperative localization of calcifications can be difficult and is usually performed by bursal needle probing. We present a surgical technique combining arthroscopy and intraoperative ultrasonography based on the ultrasound-guided needle technique to precisely and rapidly locate even small calcium deposits. The modalities may differ depending on tendon topography. This nonirradiating technique with this compact device should be more widely used.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: During a L'Episcopo transfer procedure, the tendons of the latissimus dorsi and teres major are reinserted on the posterolateral side of the humeral shaft to restore active external rotation. The aim of this study was to monitor the radiological changes at the insertion point of this transfer and to evaluate its impact on the clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective, single-center study, 13 patients (mean age 56 years; 19-84) were reviewed after a minimum follow-up of 2 years. The L'Episcopo transfer was done either alone (n=2) or in combination with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (n=11). The same transfer technique was used in both instances, with reattachment by transosseous sutures. The clinical assessment consisted of the Constant score (CS), the Activities of Daily Living Requiring Active External Rotation (ADLER) score and the Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV). Radiographs were used to look for signs of osteolysis of the cortical bone in the tendon transfer areas and classified as grade 1 (minor erosion), grade 2 (moderate erosion) and grade 3 (major erosion). RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 37 months (24-72), the mean CS was 60 points (32-75), the ADLER was 21 points (15-30) and the SSV was 77% (10-95). In the radiographic analysis, 10/13 patients had osteolysis visible in the transfer area: 2 were grade 1 (15%), 1 was grade 2 (8%), 7 were grade 3 (54%). There was no statistical correlation between the presence of osteolysis and the clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, external rotation with elbow at side and forward flexion were better in the patients who had osteolysis≥grade 2. CONCLUSION: The L'Episcopo transfer is associated with frequent osteolysis of the humeral cortex where the transfer is attached, even though the transfer appears effective. Long-term follow-up will be needed to evaluate the impact of this osteolysis on the stability of any shoulder arthroplasty implants. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; retrospective study.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Recently, arthroscopic double-button Latarjet (AL) has provided an alternative to conventional open Latarjet (OL) in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. Therefore, theoretically, the faster fusion is obtained, the sooner return to sports under safe conditions can occur. The emerging flexible fixation of the bone block has clearly offered a new approach to achieve bone fusion. However, the period required to achieve this goal remains controversial. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose was to compare computed tomography (CT) scan results of AL and OL in the early postoperative period. It was hypothesized that the bone block fusion with AL would require a longer time than that with OL. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: In a retrospective 1-year study, the authors compared 17 primary double-button AL to 22 primary 2-screw OL procedures indicated for anterior shoulder instability in patients with an Index Severity Instability Score >3 points. These patients were reviewed with a CT scan at 1 day, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively. The characteristics for the 2 groups were comparable. CT scans aimed to analyze graft position, bone contact area with the scapula, and fusion at 3 and 6 months. Clinical assessment was based on the Walch-Duplay and Rowe scores. RESULTS: The mean preoperative Index Severity Instability Score was 5.3 ± 1.9 points, with a mean anterior glenoid bone loss of 9.1% ± 4.6%. At 3 months, the rates of fusion were 41% and 100% for the AL and OL groups, respectively (P < .001). This rate increased to 70% in the AL group at 6 months (P = .006). In the axial and sagittal planes, there was no difference in graft position between the AL group and the OL group. The bone block was longer and there was a more extensive bone contact area in the OL group (AL, 131 mm2 vs OL, 223 mm2; P < .001). At 6 months of follow-up, no significant difference in clinical scores was noted between the groups: Walch-Duplay score, 93.0 ± 10.9 points versus 91.8 ± 12.5 points (P = .867); and Rowe score, 99.0 ± 2.2 points versus 95.0 ± 8.4 points (P = .307) for the AL and OL groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: AL required more time to achieve bone block fusion than OL. This finding should be taken into account when considering this procedure for patients in a hurry to return to sports involving the shoulder.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Rotator cuff repair by suture bridge is now widely used. Few studies reported secondary pullout of radiotransparent anchors. The aim of the present prospective study was to demonstrate the contribution of in-office ultrasonography to detect pullout, and to describe the examination procedure. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A total of 102 patients underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair by suture bridge, with impacted second-row anchors. Ultrasonography was performed by the surgeon in postoperative consultations. RESULTS: At 6 weeks' follow-up, 3 patients showed mean 2nd-row implant pullout of 8.3mm. All underwent arthroscopic revision to extract the implant, which was mobile within its tunnel in all cases. Clinical progression was good, with mean Constant score 72 and no aggravation of the lesion on ultrasound at 3 months' follow-up. DISCUSSION: The present series would seem to be the first to report: early radiotransparent in-vivo pullout 6 weeks after suture bridge cuff repair; ultrasound detection of pullout in consultation by the orthopedic surgeon; a description of the ultrasound technique for screening this rare and specific problem. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound now enables radiotransparent anchor positioning to be monitored following rotator cuff repair as of the first postoperative days, without compromising tendon healing. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
