Editorial Commentary: Tobacco or Not—All Nicotine Products Negatively Impact Rotator Cuff Surgery

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Rotator cuff repair is one of the most common elective orthopaedic surgeries performed; however, failure rates have been reported to range from 10% to 94% depending on the tear characteristics and other patient risk factors. One of the most common risk factors for failure is tobacco use.

Partial-thickness Rotator Cuff Tear Itself Did Not Cause Shoulder Pain Or Muscle Weakness In Baseball Players

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2019
Objectives: Rotator cuff tears are common shoulder injuries in baseball players. In some severe tears (i.e. through more than 50% of the cuff’s thickness), conservative treatment does not work well, and surgical treatment is sometimes chosen in an effort

Editorial Commentary: Estrogen Influences Shoulder Health

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Estrogen influences bone mineral density, muscle quality and quantity, and collagen synthesis, rotator cuff tearing, worse outcomes after rotator cuff repair, hyperlaxity, and adhesive capsulitis. In this commentary, we discuss the potential explanations for the highly significant associations between hormonal systemic birth control and a ...

Ultrasound shear wave elastography and its association with rotator cuff tear characteristics

JSES International, 2021
Background: Approximately 20-60% of rotator cuff repairs fail with higher failure rates in patients with larger or more chronic tears. Although MRI provides an objective estimate of tear size, it can only provide qualitative descriptions of tear ...

Systemic Hormonal Contraceptive Use Is Associated With Greater Odds of Rotator Cuff Tears, Shoulder Instability, Dislocation, and Other Shoulder Pathologies: A Propensity Matched Epidemiological Study

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate whether systemic estrogen‐only, progestin‐only, or combined hormonal contraceptives (HCs) are associated with increased risk of shoulder pathologies in reproductive‐age females. Methods A retrospective cohort study of female patients presenting to clinic from 2013 to 2020 and aged 13‐50 with 5 years of follow‐up was conducted using ...

Both Rerouted and In Situ Biceps Superior Capsular Reconstruction Augmentation During Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Improve Clinical Outcomes

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes at a 2‐year follow‐up of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) augmented with superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) using the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) in patients with reparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears.
