RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Although surgical shoulder stabilization via coracoid transfer in collision athletes is effective and has a low reinjury rate, the factors affecting poor clinical results and the superiority of the 2 stabilization procedures (Bristow and Latarjet) remain unclear. PURPOSE: To explore the factor(s) affecting poor clinical results of coracoid transfer in a large cohort of rugby players and to compare postoperative function between the Bristow and Latarjet procedures. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: This study included 169 consecutive shoulders of 154 competitive male rugby players who underwent shoulder stabilization surgery (Bankart repair with coracoid transfer) between 2014 and 2018 and had a mean follow-up of 2.7 years (minimum follow-up, 2 years). The Bristow procedure was performed in the first 92 shoulders (84 players), and the Latarjet procedure was performed in the latter 77 shoulders (70 players). A poor clinical result was defined as a postoperative Rowe score of <70 and a postoperative Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) score of >630. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors affecting postoperative functional failure. The postoperative scores and complication rates were also compared between the 2 procedures. RESULTS: In total, 92.3% of the rugby players returned to their preinjury competition level at a mean of 5.9 months postoperatively. The Rowe and WOSI scores showed that shoulder function was improved postoperatively compared with preoperatively. The number of rugby players with a poor clinical result was 18 (10.7%). Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that a poor clinical result was associated with a preoperative glenoid bone defect of >20% of the glenoid width (odds ratio, 9.8), whereas the clinical result was unaffected by the type of coracoid transfer. There were no differences between the 2 procedures in any of the postoperative scores or complication rates. CONCLUSION: The present study indicated that the most effective predictor of postoperative functional scores was the degree of the glenoid bone defect and not the type of coracoid transfer. This information may be useful for the strategic treatment of shoulder dislocations in collision athletes.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The size of a glenoid bone defect is responsible for reduction in shoulder stability and is correlated with the number of instability events. Biomechanical studies have suggested that it should be considered concomitantly with the Hill-Sachs lesion as "bipolar" bone defects for assessing structural degradation, but the definitive number of instability events associated with the critical size has not been investigated. PURPOSE: To (1) confirm that the number of instability events is the predictor of a critical size of bipolar bone defects and (2) demonstrate the cutoff value of the number of instability events for these defects in rugby players with traumatic anterior shoulder instability. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: One-hundred forty-four rugby players with anterior shoulder instability underwent morphologic evaluation for glenoid and Hill-Sachs lesions by computed tomography and determination of the critical (a glenoid bone defect of ≥25% or an off-track Hill-Sachs lesion) and subcritical (a glenoid bone defect of ≥13.5%) size of bipolar bone defects. In the primary analysis, the prevalence of the critical and subcritical size of bipolar bone defects was investigated. In the secondary analysis, the authors explored the predictors for these bone defects and determined the cutoff value correlating with the critical and subcritical size of bipolar bone defects by applying receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS: The primary analysis revealed that the prevalence of critical and subcritical size of bipolar bone defects was 20.8% and 61.8% of 144 shoulders, respectively. In the secondary analysis, multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the total number of shoulder instability events and dominant shoulder were the significant factors associated with the critical and subcritical size of bipolar bone defects. The cutoff value for the number of instability events that correlated with critical bipolar bone defects was 6 for the dominant and 9 for the nondominant shoulder, whereas it was 4 for the dominant and 5 for the nondominant shoulder for subcritical bipolar bone defects. CONCLUSION: The number of shoulder instability events and the dominant shoulder were the predictors for the critical and subcritical size of bipolar bone defects for a shoulder with traumatic instability. Four injury events should herald caution when treating rugby players with shoulder instability.

BACKGROUND: Although surgical shoulder stabilization by coracoid transfer is effective for collision athletes and has a low reinjury rate, no reports have described the midterm results of this procedure in specific patient cohorts of sufficient number or provided subjective assessments of these patients. PURPOSE: To evaluate midterm results after treatment of shoulder instability with the Bristow procedure in a large cohort of rugby players. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: This study included 176 shoulders of 152 competitive rugby players who underwent shoulder stabilization surgery (Bristow procedure with Bankart repair) with a mean follow-up of 4 years (minimum of 2 years) in our institute. The primary outcome measure was the difference in the presurgical and postsurgical functional Rowe score and Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI) score and factors affecting these scores. Complication rates and associated factors were also investigated. RESULTS: In total, 176 shoulders of 152 patients underwent the Bristow procedure with Bankart repair, and 93.2% of the players returned to their preinjury competition level at a mean of 6.3 months postoperatively. All Rowe and WOSI scores were significantly improved after surgery. The numbers of shoulders with functional failure as indicated by the Rowe score, WOSI score, and inability to return to the previous level of play were 28 (15.9%), 54 (30.7%), and 12 (6.8%), respectively. Multiple logistic regression analyses demonstrated that reinjury after surgery (odds ratio [OR] = 35.1) and the number of shoulder dislocations (OR = 11.2-11.4) negatively affected the competition level after return to play, while reinjury (OR = 11.1-17.8), the number of shoulder subluxations (OR = 1.1-2.9), injury in the dominant shoulder (OR = 1.2-2.2), and large bone defects (OR = 1.1-11.5) negatively affected functional scores. Reinjury after shoulder stabilization occurred in 6 of 176 shoulders (3.4%). Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that reinjury after surgery occurred more frequently in players at lower versus higher grade levels of competition (OR = 21.0). Although differences were not significant, a trend was noted toward higher postoperative reinjury rates in forward players, those in the upper categories (professional and college), and those with injury in the nondominant shoulder. CONCLUSION: The Bristow procedure provides good midterm outcomes for competitive collision athletes, while postsurgical reinjury, the number of preoperative dislocations and subluxations, and large bone defects negatively affect postsurgical shoulder function. This information may be useful for treatment of shoulder dislocations in collision athletes.

We compared the healing of bone defects in ovariectomized rats implanted with beta-tricalcium phosphate (b-TCP)composed of rod-shaped particles, which were prepared using the applied hydrothermal method (HTCP), and that of bone defects implanted with conventional b-TCP composed of globular-shaped particles (CTCP), which were prepared by normal sintering. Eight week-old female Wistar rats were ovariectomized, and 2 weeks after the operation, 0.5- to 0.6-mm diameter spherical granules of each ceramic were implanted in a bone defect created in the distal end of the femur. Four, 8, and 12 weeks after implantation, the amount of newly formed bone implanted with HTCP was significantly larger than that implanted with CTCP and was equivalent to that in non-ovariectomized sham-operated rats. Without implantation, spontaneous repair of the trabecular bone was barely observed. The physiological structure of the trabecular network was maintained in the region implanted with HTCP, but that in the region implanted with CTCP was severely destroyed. Gene expression microarray analysis revealed that the expression of genes involved in interferon signaling pathways was upregulated in osteoclasts cultured on HTCP compared with that cultured on CTCP. Our results suggest that the microstructure of b-TCP affected the biological behavior of osteoclasts and regulated local bone metabolism.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of mechanical unloading on the repair of bone defects with implantation of biodegradable bone substitutes. Spherical granules of biodegradable hydroxyapatite composed of rod-shaped particles (RHA) or beta-tricalcium phosphate composed of rod-shaped particles (RTCP) were implanted into a bone defect created in the distal end of the right femur of 8-week-old Wistar rats. Two, 6, 10, and 22 weeks after implantation, part of the sciatic nerve in the thigh was resected and exposed to mechanical unloading for 2 weeks. Then, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks after implantation, repair of the bone defect was analyzed. As a control, the bone defect without implantation of ceramic granules was also analyzed. Both RHA and RTCP tended to be reduced, but the reduction was not obvious during the experimental period. At 12 and 24 weeks after implantation, the amount of newly formed bone in the animal implanted with RHA was significantly greater than that at 4 weeks after implantation, but that in the animal implanted with RTCP or without implantation was not significantly different. The number of osteoclasts in the region implanted with RHA was significantly larger than that of the region implanted with RTCP or without implantation at 12 and 24 weeks. The activities of alkaline phosphatase in osteoblasts and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in osteoclasts were remarkably increased in the bone defects with implantation compared with those in the bone defects without implantation. These results suggested that RHA stimulated osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis even after 2 weeks of mechanical unloading, and that RHA could be expected to improve the repair of bone defects in patients under the condition of skeletal unloading.
RESUMEN
Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (HA) granules with a unique spherical shape were prepared using an applied hydrothermal method. Spherical stoichiometric HA granules were also prepared by normal sintering and both granules were used for implantation into rat tibiae to compare the biological responses to each implant. Twelve and 24 weeks after implantation, the volume of calcium-deficient HA granules was significantly less than that of stoichiometric HA granules, and the biodegradability of calcium-deficient HA granules was confirmed. The larger number of osteoclasts, larger osteoblast surface and larger bone volume in the implanted area of calcium-deficient HA than those of stoichiometric HA suggested that osteoclastic resorption of calcium-deficient HA affected osteogenesis in that area. To analyze the direct contribution of osteoclasts to osteogenesis, C2C12 multipotent myoblastic cells, which have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts in the presence of bone morphogenetic protein 2, were cultured with supernatants of osteoclasts cultured on calcium-deficient HA, stoichiometric HA, beta-tricalcium phosphate disks or plastic dishes, or bone marrow macrophages cultured on plastic dishes. Supernatants of osteoclasts but not bone marrow macrophages stimulated the expression of Runx2 and osteocalcin in C2C12 cells in concert with bone morphogenetic protein 2. The expression of alkaline phosphatase was stimulated with supernatants of osteoclasts cultured on ceramic disks. These results suggested that osteoclasts produced certain soluble factors which stimulated osteoblastic differentiation and they were thought to be associated with the induction of a larger osteoblast surface and bone volume in the animals implanted with calcium-deficient HA granules.

A newly developed calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite composed of rod-shaped particles synthesized by the hydrothermal method (HHA) and stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (SHA) synthesized by the sintering method was used for in vivo implantation and in vitro culture systems to compare these biological responses. In the rabbit femur, implanted HHA was slowly resorbed and about 80% of the implant remained 24 weeks after implantation; however, up to 72 weeks after implantation, most of the implanted HHA was resorbed. The implanted SHA was unresorbed throughout the experimental period, but degradation by the invasion of newly formed bone was seen at 72 weeks after implantation. Bone histomorphometry showed that the volume of newly formed bone and the number of osteoclasts in the implanted region were significantly higher in HHA than in SHA 24 weeks after implantation. In vitro culture of C2C12 cells with the induction of osteoblastic phenotypes using recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 showed similar cell density and the induction of alkaline phosphatase activity between the cells on HHA and SHA discs. In vitro osteoclastogenesis of HHA and SHA discs using bone marrow macrophages and recombinant receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand showed higher TRAP activity of osteoclasts cultured on HHA discs. These results showed that slow biodegradability did not always correlate to final replaceability in bone tissue, and suggested that the activity of osteoclasts correlated to the bone-forming activity of osteoblasts.

The response of bone cells to a newly developed porous beta-tricalcium phosphate composed of rod-shaped particles (RSbeta-TCP), beta-TCP composed of conventional non-rod-shaped particles (Cbeta-TCP), and hydroxyapatite (HA) was analyzed using in vivo implantation and in vitro osteoclastogenesis systems. Implantation of the materials into the rabbit femur showed that RSbeta-TCP and Cbeta-TCP were bioresorbable, but HA was not. Up to 12 weeks after the implantation, bioresorption of RSbeta-TCP and Cbeta-TCP accompanied by the formation of new bone occurred satisfactorily. At 24 weeks post-implantation, most of the RSbeta-TCP had been absorbed, and active osteogenesis was preserved in the region. However, in the specimens implanted with Cbeta-TCP, the amount of not only the implanted Cbeta-TCP but also the newly formed bone tissue decreased, and bone marrow dominated the region. The implanted HA was unbioresorbable throughout the experimental period. When osteoclasts were generated on RSbeta-TCP, Cbeta-TCP, or HA disks, apparent resorption lacunae were formed on the RSbeta-TCP and Cbeta-TCP, but not HA disks. Quantitation of the calcium concentration in the culture media showed an earlier and more constant release of calcium from RSbeta-TCP than Cbeta-TCP. These results showed that the microstructure of beta-TCP affects the activity of bone cells and subsequent bone replacement.
