Division of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, NY, USA.

Background: Rotator cuff repairs (RCRs) have become increasingly common. Several studies have shown variation in the indications for this procedure. We chose to track the incidence of RCRs in New York State (NYS) from 1995 to 2009. We hypothesized that after the introduction of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 29827 for arthroscopic RCR, there would be a significant increase in the rate of RCRs performed in NYS.

Materials And Methods: The NYS Department of Health's Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) database was queried for reported RCRs between the years 1995 and 2009. Using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification procedural code 83.63 and CPT codes 23410, 23412, 23420, and 29827, we collected and analyzed data on RCR procedures.

Results: A total of 168,780 RCRs were performed in NYS from 1995 to 2009. In 1995, the population incidence of RCRs was 23.5 per 100,000. In comparison, in 2009, the population incidence was 83.1 per 100,000, an increase of 238% (P < .0001). The percentage of individuals aged between 45 and 65 years undergoing RCR increased from 53.0% to 64.2% during this same period.

Conclusions: There has been a notable increase in the volume of RCRs performed in NYS. In addition, after the introduction of CPT code 29827 in 2003, the increase in the incidence of RCRs became significantly more pronounced.

Level Of Evidence: Level III, cross-sectional design, epidemiology study.

Glenohumeral Hydrodistension for Postoperative Stiffness After Arthroscopic Primary Rotator Cuff Repair.

Authors:
Ryan H Barnes Anthony V Paterno Feng-Chang Lin Jingru Zhang David Berkoff R Alexander Creighton

Orthop J Sports Med 2022 Jun 14;10(6):23259671221104505. Epub 2022 Jun 14.

Department of Orthopaedics, University of North Carolina Hospitals, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.

Background: Postoperative stiffness is a known complication after rotator cuff repair (RCR). Glenohumeral hydrodistension (GH) has been a treatment modality for shoulder pathology but has not been used to treat postoperative stiffness after RCR.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for postoperative stiffness after RCR and review outcomes after treatment with GH. Read More

Human Biomonitoring Guidance Values (HBM-GVs) for Bisphenol S and Assessment of the Risk Due to the Exposure to Bisphenols A and S, in Europe.

Authors:
Matthieu Meslin Claire Beausoleil Florence Anna Zeman Jean-Philippe Antignac Marike Kolossa-Gehring Christophe Rousselle Petra Apel

Toxics 2022 Apr 29;10(5). Epub 2022 Apr 29.

German Environment Agency (UBA), Corrensplatz 1, 14195 Berlin, Germany.

Within the European Joint Programme HBM4EU, Human Biomonitoring Guidance Values (HBM-GVs) were derived for several prioritised substances. In this paper, the derivation of HBM-GVs for the general population (HBM-GV) and workers (HBM-GV) referring to bisphenol S (BPS) is presented. For the general population, this resulted in an estimation of the total urinary concentration of BPS of 1. Read More

Increased Risk of Surgical-Site Infection and Need for Manipulation Under Anesthesia for Those Who Undergo Open Versus Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Authors:
Kevin Y Wang Amil R Agarwal Amy L Xu Matthew J Best R Timothy Kreulen Meghana Jami Edward G McFarland Uma Srikumaran

Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2022 Apr 5;4(2):e527-e533. Epub 2022 Feb 5.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Maryland, U.S.A.

Purpose: To compare 90-day postoperative complications, health care use, 2-year and 5-year rates of reoperation and manipulation under anesthesia, and costs at the 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year postoperative intervals following open and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR).

Methods: Patients who underwent an open or arthroscopic RCR with minimum 5-year follow-up were identified in a national database (PearlDiver Technologies) using Common Procedural Terminology and codes. These patients were then stratified into 2 cohorts: open RCRs and arthroscopic RCRs. Read More

Corticosteroid Injections After Rotator Cuff Repair Improve Function, Reduce Pain, and Are Safe: A Systematic Review.

Authors:
Richard N Puzzitiello Bhavik H Patel Ophelie Lavoie-Gagne Yining Lu Benedict U Nwachukwu Brian Forsythe Matthew J Salzler

Department of Orthopaedics, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

Purpose: To review the literature on postoperative corticosteroid injections (CSIs) following primary rotator cuff repair (RCR) to evaluate efficacy and adverse effects.

Methods: A systematic review of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were performed to identify all studies published within the last 15 years, which reported on outcomes of postoperative CSIs following RCR. Studies including patients who received only preoperative CSIs and revision RCRs were excluded. Read More

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty for rotator cuff tears with and without prior failed rotator cuff repair: A large-scale comparative analysis.

Authors:
Alexander J Vervaecke Andrew D Carbone Nicole Zubizarreta Jashvant Poeran Bradford O Parsons Olivier Verborgt Leesa M Galatz Paul J Cagle

J Orthop 2022 May-Jun;31:1-5. Epub 2022 Mar 8.

The Mount Sinai Hospital, Department of Orthopaedics, NYC, USA.

Background: Large-scale data assessing the effect of a prior failed rotator cuff repair (RCR) on the outcome of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is currently lacking. Therefore, this study aimed (1) to assess the course of patients undergoing RCR, specifically focusing on the need for conversion to RSA within two years, and (2) to compare outcomes following RSA performed for rotator cuff tears (RCTs) with and without prior RCR.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included data from the CMS Data Set (2016-2018). Read More
