1 Managing Complications of Rotator Cuff Repair: Revision Scope Repair Matthew T. Provencher, MD CDR MC USN Associate Professor of Surgery, Harvard University Chief of Sports Medicine and Surgery Boston, MA Rachel Frank, BS Resident, Northwestern University Introduction Ideal repair leads to biological healing of tendon to footprint Factors involved in optimal healing Footprint coverage Contact pressure Suture strength Loop and knot security Decreased motion at bone-tendon interface Maximization of the biological response Transosseous equivalent (TOE) repair is a double-row construct with lateral fixation laterally on the greater tuberosity to replicate transosseous tunnel fixation TOE better re-establishes the native footprint and provides a biomechanical advantage when compared to double-row fixation at time equals zero Early clinical results encouraging, some equivocal Need to define what is truly a double-row construct Not all DR (double row) repairs are the same. Single row (SR) constructs may be as robust as DR techniques, especially for certain tear configurations Classification A. Crescent: Tear between anterior and posterior attachments of supraspiantus tendon to greater tuberosity B. U-Shaped: Anterior and posterior supraspinatus attachments intact C. L- Shaped (Reverse L-Shaped): Either anterior (L-Shaped) or Posterior (Reverse L-Shaped). Tear will have apex that needs to be reapproximated Anatomy and Biomechanics Supraspinatus footprint Size- 12.7mm (medial to lateral) and 16.3mm (anterior to posterior) (Dugas 2002) 1

2 Coverage Observational studies 47% - single-row (Mazzocca 2005) 71% - transosseous suture (Meier 2006) 100% - double-row (Meier 2006) Contact film studies Significantly greater coverage with double-row versus single-row repair (Tuoheti 2005; Nelson 2008) 39.6% - double-row (Park, M. C. 2007) 77.6% - transosseous equivalent repair (Park, M. C. 2007) Repair strength at time equals zero Theoretical maximum contraction force of supraspinatus tendon 302N (Burkhart 2000) Load to failure 273N single-row (Gerber 1994) 336N double-row (Cummins 2005) 443N TOE (Park, M. C. 2007) Cycles to failure Double-row significantly greater than single-row fixation (Waltrip 2003) Gap Formation double-row significantly less then single row (Ahmad 2005; Kim 2006; Smith 2006; Milano 2008) Biological / Histological Long-term stability provided by biological healing Healing requires creation of thin fibrocartilaginous layer at bone-tendon junction. Optimizing biological healing requires adequate debridement of bony footprint and relative preservation of bursalll tissue (Uhthoff 2000) Motion at tendon-bone interfaces will impair healing (Rodeo 2006) A: Single Row B: Double Row, 4 anchors C: Double Row, Transosseous equivalent (TOE) The Failed Rotator Cuff Repair - Important factors to consider: - Biology (probably under-appreciated) - Technical (is the tear properly reduced? Is it over-tensioned? Etc) - Implants (failure load, placement, bioabsorbable or integration into bone? Suture type, configuration and suture-anchor interface considerations) - Tear quality (fatty infiltrate, retraction, tear pattern) - Intrinsic patient factors (smoking, medical conditions diabetes, collagen disorders, postop activity, etc) - Postoperative Factors (rehabilitation slow vs. accelerated, sling use, 2

3 postoperative medications NSAIDs) - Revision Rotator Cuff Literature - Failure of repair integrity - Stiffness - Postoperative pain (other pathology?) - DeOrio/Cofield (JBJS 1984) overall 17% good results with revision repair, remainder fair to poor overall. Recommended against doing revision repair (open tchniques) - Neviaser (JSES 1989) 92% improved pain, 50% improved motion. à Factors associated with success: Adequate decompression, closure of all RC defects, avoid weights and resistance for first 3 mos postoperatively. Tear size and age not predictive of success - Ellman (JBJS 1986) 84% of 50 pts satisfied after revision cuff surgery. Acromiohumeral distance of <7 mm = poorer outcome - Bigliani (JBJS 1992) 50% satisfied overall (out of 50 pts); but 81% with good pain relief. Not satisfied due to persistent weakness. - Lo (Arthroscopy 2004) Good results in 14 patients with revision scope RCR. UCLA 13 à 26. Selected Literature Keener: 21 patients, mean age of 55.6, 79% massive tears, postop ASES 74 Piasecke: 21 patients, mean age of 55.6, NA massive tears, postop ASES 68 Ladermann: 54 patients, mean age 54.9, 7% massive tears, postop ASES 77 Burkhart: 14 patients, mean age 57.6, postop UCLA 28, patient satisfaction 93% 3
