Arthroscopic vs. Open

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

• Arthroscopic equipment and technique have improved considerably

• Still a role for both

• Consider open in revisions or bone loss situations

TechniqueOpen vs. Arthroscopic

Open vs. Arthroscopic

• Arthroscopic repair was as effective as open reconstruction for traumatic, recurrent, anterior glenohumeral instability in our study population

• Newer fixation methods provide reliable fixation for experienced shoulder surgeons

• Arthroscopic repair was not associated with greater patient satisfaction

Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy

• Gerber, C.; et.al. : J Bone Joint Surg Am, 87(8): 1739-45, 2005.• 89% negative ACT; 75% normal LOT• Substantially better than historical results with soft-

tissue repair

repair)• 83.3% no subscapularis dysfunction (tuck in shirt)

Scalise, et. al., JBJS, 92A, 2010 Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

• Tendon-to-tendon repair may be better than peal and equivalent to LTO• Caplan JL, Whitfield B, Neviaser RJ. J

Shoulder Elbow Surg 2009;18:193-6; discussion 7-8.

• LTO to Tendon-to-tendon no difference in subscapularis function, easier glenoid exposure– Levine, et.al.

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

• Paul Grammont

• 1985

• Dijon, France

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

Constrained Arthroplasty

Not a new concept

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

Delta III (Grammont 1987)How is it Different?

• Large sphere, no neck

• Medialized center

• Valgus neck-shaft angle (155 degrees)

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

Results

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

Werner, Gerber, et.al

• Total complication rate 50%

• Reoperation rate 33%

• Primary cases 18%

• Revisions 39%

• Hematoma most common complication

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

Early Experience

• Reverse arthroplasty “is a salvage procedure for severe shoulder dysfunction caused by an irreparable rotator cuff tear associated with other glenohumeral lesions.” --Werner CM, Steinmann PA, Gilbart M, Gerber C. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2005;87:1476-86.

• Reverse arthroplasty “should be used exclusively in patients over seventy years old with low functional demands.”—Guery J, Favard L, Sirveaux F, Oudet D, Mole D, Walch G. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2006;88:1742-7.

American Experience

• Generally lower complication rate• Benefit of European learning curve

• Still high relative to anatomic implant–similar to when anatomic implant first introduced

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

• Revision

• CTA

• Malunion/nonunion

• RA

• Tumor

• Osteoarthritis with cuff tear

• Osteoarthritis with intact cuff and bone deformity

• Post-traumatic arthritis

• Cuff tear without arthritis

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

• Shoulder arthroplasty has come a long way

• Many more qualified surgeons performing them

• Outcomes have improved and will continue to

• The best operation I do!

ResultsRepair Integrity

• 105 shoulders, avg 5 year f/u• Supraspinatus-- 20% recurrence• Two tendons-- 45% recurrence• Three tendons-- 65% recurrence• Most patients satisfied-- even with

recurrent defect• Function and satisfaction correlated with

Rothman Institute of Orthopaedics at Thomas Jefferson University

Open vs. Arthroscopic Repair

• Less deltoid morbidity

• Less post-operative pain

• Less subacromial scarring

• Better cuff mobilization/visualization

• Better patient acceptance

• Simple sutures• Anchors vs. tunnels• Cuff repair footprint

• Surface area available for healing

• Double row may help

• Technically demanding-- may be volume dependent
