  • Trends in rotator cuff surgery: Research through the decades

    2021, Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma
    Citation Excerpt :

    This early foundational article explains that partial tears need not be repaired, compensation occurs in many patients with small tears, and if a repair is necessary, it should be done without tension.22 By the 1960s the published areas of research were the microanatomy of the rotator cuff, including vasculature,23–25 and superior migration leading to degenerative arthritis.26,27 There were also articles with outcomes of rotator cuff repairs.28

  • Prevalence and risk factors for development of subscapularis and biceps pathology in shoulders with degenerative rotator cuff disease: a prospective cohort evaluation

    2020, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery
    Citation Excerpt :

    The true prevalence of subscapularis tears in the aging shoulder is unknown as most studies document subscapularis disease based on intraoperative findings in shoulders with painful cuff disease. DePalma12 observed subscapularis pathology in 21% of cadaveric shoulders. The prevalence of subscapularis pathology noted during rotator cuff surgery ranged from 8% to 52%.2,3,5,7,14,22,24,27,30

    A functional bottleneck occurs between zone 2 and zone 3 (likely at the PMPM) as demonstrated by statistically significant difference in %ET. Traditional teaching would suggest that lesions affecting the LHBT are predominantly proximal and result from mechanical abrasion3,4,17 in the setting of a vascular watershed.7,11 Despite this theory, a systematic review19 reported only 74% good to excellent results for tenodesis patients and rates of persistent biceps symptoms approaching 25%.

  • Anterior and Posterior Instability of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon in Rotator Cuff Tears: A New Classification Based on Arthroscopic Observations

    2007, Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery
    Citation Excerpt :

    The same results were observed for grade II LHB lesions, where the Speed and O’Brien tests yielded identical data, with a sensitivity of 51%, specificity of 48%, PPV of 50%, and NPV of 50%. An LHB pathology such as instability can result in relevant shoulder pain and occurs mostly in the presence of a rotator cuff tear.2,8-15,17,20,21 In the literature LHB instability was observed almost exclusively in the anterior direction, as is the common phenomenon in subscapularis tears, with a frequency ranging from 6.5% to 20%.2,10,16,17,22,23
