- Abstract
Background: This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes and recurrence of instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) in patients with anterior shoulder instability, with and without a GLAD lesion, while distinguishing between primary and recurrent instability. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent isolated ABR between January 2012 and December 2021 were included. Patients with a concomitant GLAD lesion were matched in with patients without a GLAD lesion according to the following criteria: age, sex, BMI, follow-up time, and primary versus recurrent instability. At minimum two-year follow-up, the clinical outcome (Rowe score, redislocation rate) and the functional outcome, including the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), Oxford Shoulder Instability Score (OSIS), satisfaction (1-10 scale, 0 = unsatisfied, 10 = very satisfied), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), were compared between groups. Results: In total, 28 patients (14 GLAD vs. 14 Bankart; age: 32.5 ± 13.0 years; sex: 92.9% male; BMI: 24.6 ± 2.2) were included 6.9 ± 2.8 (2-11) years after isolated ABR (follow-up rate 63.6%). Clinical and functional outcome did not differ significantly between patients with versus without GLAD lesions (ASES score: 100 [96.5-100] vs. 97.5 [93.3-100], p = 0.27); WOSI (%): 9.0 [3.7-24.5] vs. 3.8 [0.8-8.9], p = 0.22; Rowe score: 90.0 [75.0-100] vs. 95.0 [78.8-100], p = 0.57; OSIS: 46 [44.7-48] vs. 46 [43.0-48], p = 0.54; satisfaction: 8.9 ± 1.4 vs. 8.0 ± 1.4, p = 0.78; VAS 0 [0-1.3] vs. 0 [0-1.0]. In both groups, two patients (14.3%) reported a redislocation during the observation period. Conclusions: At short- to mid-term follow-up, ABR showed favorable outcomes, low dislocation rates, and high patient satisfaction, regardless of the presence of a GLAD lesion or primary versus recurrent instability. However, follow-up time was heterogeneous, and the follow-up rate was marginal.

- Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to identify the demographic-, radiographic-, and surgery-related factors influencing postoperative functional internal rotation (fIR) following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA)., Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients who underwent RTSA between June 2013 and April 2018 at a single institution were assigned to two groups ("IROgood" or "IRObad"). Patients were classified as having good fIR (≥8 points in the Constant-Murley score (CS) and fIR to the twelfth thoracic vertebra or higher) or poor fIR (≤2 points in the CS and fIR to the twelfth thoracic vertebra or lower) after RTSA with a single implant model. The minimum follow-up period was two years. Standardized shoulder-specific scores (Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (ASES), Constant-Murley score (CS)) were used to assess the pre- and postoperative functional status of patients. Postoperative radiographic evaluation included the distalization shoulder angle (DSA), lateralization shoulder angle (LSA), critical shoulder angle (CSA), acromiohumeral distance (AHD), glenoid inclination (GI), medialization of the center of rotation (COR), lateralization of the humerus, and distalization of the greater tuberosity. Additionally, preoperative evaluation included rotator cuff arthropathy according to Hamada, glenoid version, anterior or posterior humeral head subluxation, and fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff according to Goutallier. Univariate analysis of demographic, surgical, radiographic, and implant-associated parameters was performed to identify factors associated with postoperative fIR. The Shapiro-Wilk test assessed the normal distribution of the data. Intergroup comparisons regarding demographic and surgery-related factors were conducted using the Mann-Whitney-U Test. Radiographic changes were compared using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. The significance level was set at p < 0.05., Results: Of a total of 42 patients, 17 (age: 73.7 ± 5.0 years, follow-up (FU) 38 months [IQR 29.5-57.5]) were included in the "IRObad" group, and 25 (age: 72 ± 6.1 years, FU 47 months [IQR 30.5-65.5]) were included in the "IROgood" group. All patients were treated with the same type of implant (glenosphere size: 36 mm, 14.3%; 39 mm, 38.1%; 42 mm, 47.6%; neck-shaft angle: 135° in 68.0%; 155° in 32.0%) and had comparable indications. Univariate analysis did not reveal any of the investigated demographic, radiographic, or surgery-related parameters as risk factors for poor postoperative fIR ( p > 0.05)., Conclusion: None of the investigated factors, including implant-associated parameters, influenced postoperative fIR after RTSA in this cohort.

- Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes, graft integrity rate and progression of osteoarthritis after superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) at short-term follow-up. Methods: Consecutive patients that underwent SCR using an acellular dermal xeno- or allograft between May 2018 and June 2020 for the treatment of irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears were included. Shoulder function (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons [ASES] score), pain (Visual Analog Scale [VAS] for pain) and active shoulder range of motion (ROM) were evaluated preoperatively and after a minimum of 24 months postoperatively. Isometric strength was measured at follow-up and compared to the contralateral side. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to evaluate graft integrity and osteoarthritis progression (shoulder osteoarthritis severity [SOAS] score). Results: Twenty-two patients that underwent SCR using a xeno- (n = 9) or allograft (n = 13) were evaluated 33.1 ± 7.2 months postoperatively. Four patients in the xenograft group underwent revision surgery due to pain and range of motion limitations and were excluded from further analysis (revision rate: 18.2%). Shoulder function (ASES score: 41.6 ± 18.8 to 72.9 ± 18.6, p < 0.001), pain levels (VAS for pain: 5.8 ± 2.5 to 1.8 ± 2.0, p < 0.001) and active flexion ( p < 0.001) as well as abduction ROM ( p < 0.001) improved significantly from pre- to postoperatively. Active external rotation ROM did not improve significantly ( p = 0.924). Isometric flexion ( p < 0.001), abduction ( p < 0.001) and external rotation strength ( p = 0.015) were significantly lower in the operated shoulder compared to the non-operated shoulder. Ten shoulders demonstrated a graft tear at the glenoid (n = 8, 44.4%) or humerus (n = 2, 11.1%). Graft lysis was observed in seven shoulders (38.9%). The graft was intact in one shoulder (5.6%), which was an allograft. A significant progression of shoulder osteoarthritis was observed at follow-up (SOAS score: 42.4 ± 10.1 to 54.6 ± 8.4, p < 0.001). Conclusions: At short-term follow-up, SCR using an acellular dermal xeno- or allograft resulted in improved shoulder function and pain with limitations in active external rotation ROM and isometric strength. Graft failure rates were high and osteoarthritis progressed significantly. Level of Evidence: Retrospective cohort study, Level III.

- Abstract
Background: Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) stabilizations are associated with a high overall failure rate with 9.5% of these patients requiring subsequent revision surgery. Consequently, understanding the specific cause of primary ACJ stabilization failure is paramount to improving surgical decision-making in this challenging patient cohort., Purpose: To (1) identify risk factors and mechanisms for failure following primary arthroscopically-assisted ACJ stabilization to highlight the importance of conducting a detailed failure analysis and to (2) establish revision strategies based on real-life cases of primary failed ACJ stabilization., Study Design: Level of evidence IV., Methods: A survey was shared internationally among members of the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) shoulder committee. The survey contained failure analysis of 11 real-life cases of failed primary arthroscopically-assisted ACJ stabilization. For each case, a thorough patient history, standardized radiographs, and CT scans were provided. Participants were asked to give their opinion on bone tunnel placement, cause of failure (biological, technical, traumatic, or combined), the stabilization technique used, as well as give a recommendation for revision., Results: Seventeen members of the ISAKOS shoulder committee completed the survey. Biological failure was considered the most common cause of failure (47.1%), followed by technical (35.3%) and traumatic (17.6%) failure. The majority deemed two modifiable factors (i.e., patient's profession and sport) as well as non-modifiable factors (i.e., patient's age and time from trauma to initial surgery) to be risk factors for failure. In 10 of 11 cases, the correct fixation device was used in the primary setting (90.9%; 52.8-82.4% agreement); however, in eight of those cases, the technique was not performed correctly (80.0%; 58.8-100% agreement). In 8 of all 11 cases, the majority recommended an arthroscopically assisted technique with graft augmentation for revision (52.9-58.8% agreement)., Conclusion: Biological failure and technical failure are the most common reason for failure in primary ACJ stabilization followed by traumatic failure. Besides, biological failure can be triggered by technical errors such as clavicular or coracoidal tunnel misplacement. Consequently, a detailed failure analysis including preoperative CT should be conducted on the causes of primary ACJ failure, and, if possible, an arthroscopically-assisted technique with graft augmentation should be prioritized in revision ACJ surgery., Clinical Relevance: ACJ stabilizations are associated with a high overall failure rate - potentially due to biological and technical properties. When encountering failed arthroscopically-assisted ACJ stabilization, a detailed failure analysis should be conducted on the causes of primary ACJ failure. Furthermore, an arthroscopically-assisted revision stabilization is feasible in most cases., (Copyright © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of an irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear (PSRCT) on glenohumeral joint loads and to quantify improvement after superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) using an acellular dermal allograft., Methods: Ten fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were tested using a validated dynamic shoulder simulator. A pressure mapping sensor was placed between the humeral head and glenoid surface. Each specimen underwent the following conditions: (1) native, (2) irreparable PSRCT, and (3) SCR using a 3-mm-thick acellular dermal allograft. Glenohumeral abduction angle (gAA) and superior humeral head migration (SM) were measured using 3-dimensional motion-tracking software. Cumulative deltoid force (cDF) and glenohumeral contact mechanics, including glenohumeral contact area and glenohumeral contact pressure (gCP), were assessed at rest, 15°, 30°, 45°, and maximum angle of glenohumeral abduction., Results: The PSRCT resulted in a significant decrease of gAA along with an increase in SM, cDF, and gCP (P < .001, respectively). SCR did not restore native gAA (P < .001); however, SM was significantly reduced (P < .001). Further, SCR significantly reduced deltoid forces at 30° (P = .007) and 45° of abduction (P = .007) when compared with the PSRCT. SCR did not restore native cDF at 30° (P = .015), 45° (P < .001), and maximum angle (P < .001) of glenohumeral abduction. Compared with the PSRCT, SCR resulted in a significant decrease of gCP at 15° (P = .008), 30° (P = .002), and 45° (P = .006). However, SCR did not completely restore native gCP at 45° (P = .038) and maximum abduction angle (P = .014)., Conclusions: In this dynamic shoulder model, SCR only partially restored native glenohumeral joint loads. However, SCR significantly decreased glenohumeral contact pressure, cumulative deltoid forces, and superior migration, while increasing abduction motion, when compared with the posterosuperior rotator cuff tear., Clinical Relevance: These observations raise concerns regarding the true joint-preserving potential of SCR for an irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear, along with its ability to delay progression of cuff tear arthropathy and eventual conversion to reverse shoulder arthroplasty., (Copyright © 2023 Arthroscopy Association of North America.

- Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the influence of intertubercular groove (IG) morphology on the development of different types of biceps reflection pulley (BRP) injuries., Methods: A consecutive cohort of 221 patients with ventral shoulder pain and a preoperative diagnosis suspecting BRP injury, who underwent arthroscopy, was retrospectively reviewed. The presence or absence as well as type of pulley injury (medial, lateral or bilateral) was confirmed arthroscopically. The intertubercular groove was evaluated on MRIs after triplanar reconstruction of the axial plane. IG depth, width, medial wall angle (MWA), lateral wall angle (LWA) and total opening angle (TOA) were measured. IG depth and width were expressed in relation to the humeral head diameter. Measurements were performed by two clinicians independently and averaged., Results: Of 166 included patients 43 had bilateral, 65 medial and 38 lateral BRP lesions. 20 patients had intact BRPs and represented the control group. The intra-class correlation coefficient of measurements was 0.843-0.955. Patients with a medial or bilateral BRP injury had a flatter MWA (38.8° or 40.0° vs. 47.9°, p < 0.001), wider TOA (96.1° or 96.6° vs. 82.6°, p < 0.001), greater width (12.5 or 12.3 vs. 10.8 mm, p = 0.013) and shallower depth (5.5 or 5.4 vs. 6.2 mm, p < 0.001) than the control group. Conversely, the IG morphology of those with lateral BRP injuries did not differ significantly from the control group. The odds ratio for a medial or bilateral BRP injury when the TOA exceeded 95° was 6.8 (95% confidence interval 3.04-15.2)., Conclusion: A dysplastic type of IG morphology with a wide TOA, flat MWA, decreased depth and increased width is associated with the presence of medial and bilateral BRP injuries. A TOA of > 95° increases the likelihood of a medial or bilateral BRP injury 6.8-fold. Lateral BRP injuries are not associated with dysplastic IG morphology. Concomitant LHBT surgery may, therefore, not always be necessary during isolated supraspinatus tendon repair., Level of Evidence: Level III., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Lower trapezius transfer (LTT) has been proposed for restoring the anteroposterior muscular force couple in the setting of an irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear (PSRCT). Adequate graft tensioning during surgery may be a factor critical for sufficient restoration of shoulder kinematics and functional improvement., Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose was to evaluate the effect of tensioning during LTT on glenohumeral kinematics using a dynamic shoulder model. It was hypothesized that LTT, while maintaining physiological tension on the lower trapezius muscle, would improve glenohumeral kinematics more effectively than undertensioned or overtensioned LTT., Study Design: Controlled laboratory study., Methods: A total of 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were tested using a validated shoulder simulator. Glenohumeral abduction angle, superior migration of the humeral head, and cumulative deltoid force were compared across 5 conditions: (1) native, (2) irreparable PSRCT, (3) LTT with a 12-N load (undertensioned), (4) LTT with a 24-N load (physiologically tensioned according to the cross-sectional area ratio of the lower trapezius muscle), and (5) LTT with a 36-N load (overtensioned). Glenohumeral abduction angle and superior migration of the humeral head were measured using 3-dimensional motion tracking. Cumulative deltoid force was recorded in real time throughout dynamic abduction motion by load cells connected to actuators., Results: Physiologically tensioned (Δ13.1°), undertensioned (Δ7.3°), and overtensioned (Δ9.9°) LTT each significantly increased the glenohumeral abduction angle compared with the irreparable PSRCT ( P < .001 for all). Physiologically tensioned LTT achieved a significantly greater glenohumeral abduction angle than undertensioned LTT (Δ5.9°; P < .001) or overtensioned LTT (Δ3.2°; P = .038). Superior migration of the humeral head was significantly decreased with LTT compared with the PSRCT, regardless of tensioning. Physiologically tensioned LTT resulted in significantly less superior migration of the humeral head compared with undertensioned LTT (Δ5.3 mm; P = .004). A significant decrease in cumulative deltoid force was only observed with physiologically tensioned LTT compared with the PSRCT (Δ-19.2 N; P = .044). However, compared with the native state, LTT did not completely restore glenohumeral kinematics, regardless of tensioning., Conclusion: LTT was most effective in improving glenohumeral kinematics after an irreparable PSRCT when maintaining physiological tension on the lower trapezius muscle at time zero. However, LTT did not completely restore native glenohumeral kinematics, regardless of tensioning., Clinical Relevance: Tensioning during LTT for an irreparable PSRCT may be important to sufficiently improve glenohumeral kinematics and may be an intraoperatively modifiable key variable to ensure postoperative functional success.

- Abstract
Background: The extent of fatty infiltration and rotator cuff (RC) atrophy is crucial for the clinical results after rotator cuff repair (RCR). The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in fatty infiltration and RC atrophy after revision RCR and to correlate them with functional outcome parameters., Methods: Patients who underwent arthroscopic revision RCR for symptomatic recurrent full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon between 2008 and 2014 and were retrospectively reviewed with a minimum follow up of 2 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed pre- and postoperatively to assess 1) tendon integrity after revision RCR according to Sugaya classification, (2) RC atrophy according to Thomazeau classification, and (3) fatty infiltration according to Fuchs MRI classification. Constant score (CS) and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) score were used to correlate functional outcome, tendon integrity, and muscle degeneration., Results: 19 patients (17 males and 2 females) with a mean age of 57.5 years (range, 34 to 72) were included into the study at a mean follow-up of 50.3 months (range, 24 - 101). At final evaluation, 9 patients (47%) presented with intact RCR and 10 patients (53%) suffered a re-tear after revision repair. No progress of fatty infiltration was observed postoperatively in the group with intact RC, atrophy progressed in only 1 out of 9 patient (11%). Fatty infiltration progressed in 5/10 patients (50%) and RC atrophy increased in 2/10 patients (20%) within the re-tear group. CS (42.7 ± 17.7 preop, 65.2 ± 20.1 postop) and ASES (47.7 ± 17.2 preop, 75.4 ± 23.7 postop) improved significantly from pre- to postoperatively (p < 0.001). A positive correlation between fatty infiltration and RC integrity was detected (r = 0.77, p < 0.01). No correlation between clinical outcome and tendon integrity or RC atrophy was observed., Conclusion: Arthroscopic revision RCR leads to reliable functional outcomes even in case of a recurrent RC retear. An intact RCR maintains the preoperative state of fatty infiltration and muscle atrophy but does not lead to muscle regeneration., Level of Evidence: Level IV; Therapeutic study., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: Despite growing evidence on the role of the posterior ulnar collateral ligament (pUCL) in elbow stability, current ligament bracing techniques are mainly focused on the anterior ulnar collateral ligament (aUCL). A dual-bracing technique combines the repair of the pUCL and aUCL with a suture augmentation of both bundles., Purpose: To biomechanically assess a dual-bracing approach addressing aUCL and pUCL for humeral-sided complete UCL lesions to restore medial elbow laxity without overconstraining., Study Design: Controlled laboratory study., Methods: A total of 21 unpaired human elbows (11 right, 10 left; 57.19 ± 11.7 years) were randomized into 3 groups to compare dual bracing with aUCL suture augmentation and aUCL graft reconstruction. Laxity testing was performed with 25 N applied 12 cm distal to the elbow joint for 30 seconds at randomized flexion angles (0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, and 120°) for the native condition and then for each surgical technique. A calibrated motion capture system was used for assessment, allowing the 3-dimensional displacement during the complete valgus stress cycle between the optical trackers to be quantified as joint gap and laxity. The repaired constructs were then cyclically tested through a materials testing machine starting with 20 N for 200 cycles at a rate of 0.5 Hz. The load was increased stepwise by 10 N for 200 cycles until displacement reached 5.0 mm or complete failure occurred., Results: Dual bracing and aUCL bracing resulted in significantly ( P = .045) less joint gapping at 120° of flexion compared with aUCL reconstruction. No significant differences in valgus laxity were found among the surgical techniques. Within each technique, there were no significant differences between the native and the postoperative state in valgus laxity and joint gapping. No significant differences between the techniques were observed in cycles to failure and failure load., Conclusion: Dual bracing restored native valgus joint laxity and medial joint gapping without overconstraining and provided similar primary stability regarding failure outcomes as established techniques. Furthermore, it was able to restore joint gapping in 120° of flexion significantly better than aUCL reconstruction., Clinical Relevance: This study provides biomechanical data on the dual-bracing approach that may help surgeons to consider this new method of addressing acute humeral UCL lesions., Competing Interests: One or more of the authors has declared the following potential conflict of interest or source of funding: The University of Connecticut Health Center/UConn Musculoskeletal Institute receives funding from Arthrex.

- Abstract
Background: The purpose of the present study was to compare the functional and radiographic outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in a senior athletic and non-athletic population., Material and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients who underwent RTSA between 06/2013 and 04/2018 at a single institution were included. Minimum follow-up was 2 years. A standardized questionnaire was utilized for assessment of patients' pre- and postoperative physical fitness and sportive activity. Patients who resumed at least one sport were assigned to the athletic group, while patients who ceased participating in sports were assigned to the non-athletic group. Postoperative clinical outcome measures included the Constant score (CS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Active shoulder range of motion (ROM) and abduction strength were assessed. Radiographic evaluation was based on a standardized core set of parameters for radiographic monitoring of patients following shoulder arthroplasty., Results: Sixty-one of 71 patients (85.9%; mean age: 72.1 ± 6.6 years) were available for clinical and radiographic follow-up at a mean of 47.1 ± 18.1 months. Thirty-four patients (55.7%) were assigned to the athletic group and 27 patients (44.3%) to the non-athletic group. The athletic group demonstrated significantly better results for CS (P = 0.002), ASES score (P = 0.001), SST (P = 0.001), VAS (P = 0.022), active external rotation (P = 0.045) and abduction strength (P = 0.016) compared to the non-athletic group. The overall rate of return to sport was 78.0% at an average of 5.3 ± 3.6 months postoperatively. Incomplete radiolucent lines (RLL) around the humeral component were found significantly more frequently in the athletic group compared to the non-athletic group (P = 0.019), whereas the occurrence of complete RLLs around the implant components was similar (P = 0.382). Scapular notching was observed in 18 patients (52.9%) of the athletic group and 12 patients (44.9%) of the non-athletic group (P = 0.51). The overall rate for revision surgery was 8.2%, while postoperative complications were encountered in 3.3% of cases., Conclusion: At mid-term follow-up, the athletic population demonstrated significantly better clinical results following RTSA without a higher rate of implant loosening and scapular notching when compared to non-athletic patients. However, incomplete radiolucency around the humeral component was observed significantly more often in the athletic group., Level of Evidence: III., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Posterosuperior rotator cuff tears range among the most common causes of shoulder complaints. While non-operative treatment is typically reserved for the elderly patient with low functional demands, surgical treatment is considered the gold standard for active patients. More precisely, an anatomic rotator cuff repair (RCR) is considered the most desirable treatment option and should be generally attempted during surgery. If an anatomic RCR is impossible, the adequate choice of treatment for irreparable rotator cuff tears remains a matter of debate among shoulder surgeons. Following a critical review of the contemporary literature, the authors suggest the following evidence- and experience-based treatment recommendation. In the non-functional, osteoarthritic shoulder, treatment strategies in the management of irreparable posterosuperior RCT include debridement-based procedures and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty as the treatment of choice. Joint-preserving procedures aimed at restoring glenohumeral biomechanics and function should be reserved for the non-osteoarthritic shoulder. Prior to these procedures, however, patients should be counseled about deteriorating results over time. Recent innovations such as the superior capsule reconstruction and the implantation of a subacromial spacer show promising short-term results, yet future studies with long-term follow-up are required to derive stronger recommendations.

- Abstract
Background: There exists a vast number of surgical treatment options for acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries, and the current literature has yet to determine an equivocally superior treatment. AC joint repair has a long history and dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century., Main Body: Since then, over 150 different techniques have been described, covering open and closed techniques. Low grade injuries such as Type I-II according to the modified Rockwood classification should be treated conservatively, while high-grade injuries (types IV-VI) may be indicated for operative treatment. However, controversy exists if operative treatment is superior to nonoperative treatment, especially in grade III injuries, as functional impairment due to scapular dyskinesia or chronic pain remains concerning following non-operative treatment. Patients with a stable AC joint without overriding of the clavicle and without significant scapular dysfunction (Type IIIA) may benefit from non-interventional approaches, in contrast to patients with overriding of the clavicle and therapy-resistant scapular dysfunction (Type IIIB). If these patients are considered non-responders to a conservative approach, an anatomic AC joint reconstruction using a hybrid technique should be considered. In chronic AC joint injuries, surgery is indicated after failed nonoperative treatment of 3 to 6 months. Anatomic AC joint reconstruction techniques along with biologic augmentation (e.g. Hybrid techniques, suture fixation) should be considered for chronic high-grade instabilities, accounting for the lack of intrinsic healing and scar-forming potential of the ligamentous tissue in the chronic setting. However, complication and clinical failure rates remain high, which may be a result of technical failures or persistent horizontal and rotational instability., Conclusion: Future research should focus on addressing horizontal and rotational instability, to restore native physiological and biomechanical properties of the AC joint., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Background: In the setting of irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears (PSRCTs), lower trapezius transfer (LTT) may be anatomically better positioned for restoring the muscular force couple compared with latissimus dorsi transfer (LDT). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of LTT and LDT on glenohumeral kinematics using a dynamic shoulder model., Methods: Ten fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders (mean age: 56.5 ± 17.2 years) were tested using a dynamic shoulder simulator. The maximum abduction angle (MAA), superior humeral head migration (SHM), and cumulative deltoid forces (CDFs) were compared across 4 conditions: (1) native; (2) irreparable PSRCT; (3) LTT using an Achilles tendon allograft; and (4) LDT. MAA and SHM were measured using 3-dimensional motion tracking. CDF was recorded in real time throughout the dynamic abduction motion by load cells connected to actuators., Results: Compared to the native state, the PSRCT resulted in a significant decrease (Δ-24.1°; P < .001) in MAA, with a subsequent significant increase after LTT (Δ13.1°; P < .001) and LDT (Δ8.9°; P < .001). LTT achieved a significantly greater MAA than LDT (Δ4.2°; P = .004). Regarding SHM, both LTT (Δ-9.4 mm; P < .001) and LDT (Δ-5.0 mm; P = .008) demonstrated a significant decrease compared with the PSRCT state. LTT also achieved significantly less SHM compared with the LDT (Δ-4.4 mm; P = .011). Further, only the LTT resulted in a significant decrease in CDF compared with the PSRCT state (Δ-21.3 N; P = .048), whereas LTT and LDT showed similar CDF (Δ-11.3 N; P = .346). However, no technique was able to restore the MAA, SHM, and CDF of the native shoulder (P < .001, respectively)., Conclusion: LTT and LDT both achieved a significant increase in MAA along with significantly less SHM compared with the PSRCT state. Although LTT required significantly less compensatory deltoid forces compared with the PSRCT state, this was not observed for the LDT. Further, the LTT prevented loss of abduction motion and SHM more sufficiently. In the challenging treatment of irreparable PSRCTs, LTT may restore native glenohumeral kinematics more sufficiently, potentially leading to improved postoperative functional outcomes., (Copyright © 2022 Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Board of Trustees.

- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate immediate loss of reduction in patients undergoing hardware removal after arthroscopically assisted acromioclavicular (AC) joint stabilization using a high-tensile suture tape suspensory fixation system and to identify risk factors associated with immediate loss of reduction., Materials and Methods: Twenty-two consecutive patients with a mean age of 36.4 ± 12.6 years (19-56), who underwent hardware removal 18.2 ± 15.0 months following arthroscopically assisted stabilization surgery using a suspensory fixation system for AC joint injury between 01/2012 and 01/2021 were enrolled in this retrospective monocentric study. The coracoclavicular distance (CCD) as well as the clavicular dislocation/acromial thickness (D/A) ratio were measured on anterior-posterior radiographs prior to hardware removal and immediately postoperatively by two independent raters. Loss of reduction, defined as 10% increase in the CCD, was deemed substantial if the CCD increased 6 mm compared to preoperatively. Constitutional and surgical characteristics were assessed in a subgroup analysis to detect risk factors associated with loss of reduction., Results: Postoperatively, the CCD significantly increased from 12.6 ± 3.7 mm (4.8-19.0) to 14.5 ± 3.3 mm (8.7-20.6 mm) (p < 0.001) while the D/A ratio increased from 0.4 ± 0.3 (- 0.4-0.9) to 0.6 ± 0.3 (1.1-0.1) (p = 0.034) compared to preoperatively. In 10 cases (45%), loss of reduction was identified, while a substantial loss of reduction (> 6 mm) was only observed in one patient (4.5%). A shorter time interval between index stabilization surgery and hardware removal significantly corresponded to immediate loss of reduction (11.0 ± 5.6 vs. 30.0 ± 20.8 months; p = 0.007), as hardware removal within one year following index stabilization was significantly associated with immediate loss of reduction (p = 0.027; relative risk 3.4; odds ratio 11.67)., Conclusions: Substantial loss of reduction after hardware removal of a high-tensile suture tape suspensory fixation system was rare, indicating that the postoperative result of AC stabilization is not categorically at risk when performing this procedure. Even though radiological assessment of the patients showed a statistically significant immediate superior clavicular displacement after this rarely required procedure, with an increased incidence in the first year following stabilization, this may not negatively influence the results of ACJ stabilization in a clinically relevant way., Level of Evidence: IV., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Background: Seminal classifications of degenerative arthritis of the shoulder (DAS) describe either cuff tear arthropathy in the coronal plane or primary osteoarthritis in the cross-sectional plane. None consider a biplanar eccentricity., Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to investigate humeroscapular alignment (HSA) of patients with DAS in both the anteroposterior (A-P) and superoinferior (S-I) planes on computed tomography (CT) after 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and develop a classification based on biplanar HSA in 9 quadrants. It was hypothesized that biplanar eccentricity would occur frequently., Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3., Methods: The authors analyzed 130 CT scans of patients who had undergone shoulder arthroplasty. The glenoid center, trigonum, and inferior angle of the scapula were aligned in a single plane using 3D reconstruction software. Subluxation of the HSA was measured as the distance from the center of rotation of the humeral head to the scapular axis (line from trigonum through glenoid center) and was expressed as a percentage of the radius of the humeral head in both the A-P and the S-I directions. HSA was described in terms of A-P alignment first (posterior/central/anterior), then S-I alignment (superior/central/inferior), for a total of 9 different alignment combinations. Additionally, glenoid erosion was graded 1-3., Results: Subluxation of the HSA was 74.1% posterior to 23.5% anterior in the A-P direction and 17.2% inferior to 68.6% superior in the S-I direction. A central HSA was calculated as between 20% posterior to 5% anterior (A-P) and 5% inferior to 20% superior (S-I), after a graphical analysis. Posterior subluxation >60% of the radius was labeled as extraposterior, and static acetabularization was labeled as extrasuperior. Overall, 21 patients had central-central, 40 centrosuperior, and 1 centroinferior alignment. Of 60 shoulders with posterior subluxation, alignment was posterocentral in 31, posterosuperior in 25, and posteroinferior in 5. There were 3 patients with anterocentral and 4 anterosuperior subluxation; in addition, 4 cases with extraposterior and 17 with extrasuperior subluxation were identified., Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of biplanar eccentricity in DAS. The 3D classification system using combined HSA and glenoid erosion can be applied to describe DAS comprehensively., Competing Interests: The authors declared that they have no conflicts of interest in the authorship and publication of this contribution.

- Abstract
Purpose: Traumatic and atraumatic insufficiency of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) can cause posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow. The influence of the underlying pathogenesis on functional outcomes remains unknown so far. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of the initial pathogenesis of PLRI on clinical outcomes after LUCL reconstruction using an ipsilateral triceps tendon autograft., Methods: Thirty-six patients were reviewed in this retrospective study. Depending on the pathogenesis patients were assigned to either group EPI (atraumatic, secondary LUCL insufficiency due to chronic epicondylopathia) or group TRAUMA (traumatic LUCL lesion). Range-of-motion (ROM) and posterolateral joint stability were evaluated preoperatively and at follow-up survey. For clinical assessment, the Mayo elbow performance (MEPS) score was used. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) consisting of visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, disability of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score, patient-rated elbow evaluation (PREE) score and subjective elbow evaluation (SEV) as well as complications were analyzed., Results: Thirty-one patients (group EPI, n = 17; group TRAUMA, n = 14), 13 men and 18 women with a mean age of 42.9 ± 11.0 were available for follow-up evaluation (57.7 ± 17.5 months). In 93.5%, posterolateral elbow stability was restored (n = 2 with re-instability, both group TRAUMA). No differences were seen between groups in relation to ROM. Even though group EPI (98.9 ± 3.7 points) showed better results than group TRAUMA (91.1 ± 12.6 points) (p = 0.034) according to MEPS, no differences were found for evaluated PROs (group A: VAS 1 ± 1.8, PREE 9.3 ± 15.7, DASH 7.7 ± 11.9, SEV 92.9 ± 8.3 vs. group B: VAS 1.9 ± 3.2, PREE 22.4 ± 26.1, DASH 16.0 ± 19.4, SEV 87.9 ± 15.4. 12.9% of patients required revision surgery., Conclusion: LUCL reconstruction using a triceps tendon autograft for the treatment of PLRI provides good to excellent clinical outcomes regardless of the underlying pathogenesis (traumatic vs. atraumatic). However, in the present case series, posterolateral re-instability tends to be higher for traumatic PLRI and patient-reported outcomes showed inferior results., Level of Evidence: Therapeutic study, LEVEL III., (© 2021.

- Abstract
Purpose: To specifically evaluate the influence of the acromioclavicular (AC)-joint morphology on the outcome after arthroscopically assisted coracoclavicular (CC) stabilization surgery with suspensory fixation systems and to investigate whether an additional open AC-joint reduction and AC cerclage improves the clinical outcome for patients with certain morphologic AC-joint subtypes., Methods: Patients with an acute acromioclavicular joint injury, who underwent arthroscopically assisted CC stabilization with suspensory fixation systems with or without concomitant AC cerclage between January 2009 and June 2017 were identified and included in this retrospective cohort analysis. AC-joint morphology was assessed on preoperative radiographs and categorized as "flat" or "non-flat" ("oblique"/"curved") subtypes. After a minimum of 2 years of follow-up, postoperative Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain were collected. A subgroup analysis of clinical outcomes depending on the surgical technique and morphological subtype of the AC joint was performed., Results: Eighty-one patients (95% male, mean age 35 ± 12 years) could be included at a mean follow-up of 57 ± 14 months. Radiographic assessment of AC-joint morphology showed 24 (30%) cases of flat type, 38 (47%) cases of curved type, and 19 (23%) cases of oblique morphology. Postoperatively, no clinically significant difference could be detected after the treatment of AC joint injury via CC stabilization with or without concomitant AC cerclage (VAS
rest : P = .067; VASmax : P = .144, ASES: P = .548; SANE: P = .045). No clinically significant differences were found between the surgical techniques for the flat morphologic subtype (VASrest : P = .820; VASmax : P = .251; SANE: P = .104; ASES: P = .343) or the non-flat subtype (VASres : P = .021; VASmax : P = .488; SANE: P = .243, ASES: P = .843)., Conclusions: In arthroscopically assisted AC stabilization surgery with suspensory fixation systems for acute AC-joint injury, the AC-joint morphology did not influence the postoperative outcome, independent of the surgical technique. No clinical benefit of performing an additional horizontal stabilization could be detected in our collective at mid-term follow-up., Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series., (© 2021 The Authors.)- Published

- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and structural integrity of primary subpectoral biceps tenodesis using an all-suture anchor onlay technique for long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon pathology., Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series with prospectively collected data of patients who underwent primary, isolated subpectoral biceps tenodesis with a single all-suture anchor onlay fixation between March 2017 and March 2019. Outcomes were recorded at a minimum follow-up of 12 months based on assessments of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, LHB score, and elbow flexion strength and supination strength measurements. The integrity of the tenodesis construct was evaluated using ultrasound., Results: Thirty-four patients were available for clinical and ultrasound examination at a mean follow-up of 18 ± 5 months. The mean ASES score significantly improved from 51.0 ± 14.2 points preoperatively to 89.8 ± 10.5 points postoperatively (P < .001). The minimal clinically important difference for the ASES score was 8.7 points, which was exceeded by 31 patients (91.2%). The mean postoperative LHB score was 92.2 ± 8.3 points. Regarding subcategories, an average of 47.2 ± 6.3 points was reached for "pain/cramps"; 26.4 ± 6.1 points, "cosmesis"; and 18.6 ± 2.6 points, "elbow flexion strength." Both elbow flexion strength and supination strength were similar compared with the nonoperated side (P = .169 and P = .210, respectively). In 32 patients, ultrasound examination showed an intact tenodesis construct, whereas 2 patients (5.9%) sustained failure of the all-suture anchor fixation requiring revision., Conclusions: Primary subpectoral biceps tenodesis using an all-suture anchor onlay technique for pathology of the LHB tendon provides reliable clinical results and a relatively low failure rate (5.9%)., Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series., (Copyright © 2021 Arthroscopy Association of North America.

- Abstract
Background: Current literature reports highly satisfactory short- and midterm clinical outcomes in patients with arthroscopic 270° labral tear repairs. However, data remain limited on long-term clinical outcomes and complication and redislocation rates in patients with traumatic shoulder instability involving anterior, inferior, and posterior labral injury., Purpose: To investigate, at a minimum follow-up of 10 years, the clinical outcomes, complications, and recurrent instability in patients with 270° labral tears involving the anterior, inferior, and posterior labrum treated with arthroscopic stabilization using suture anchors., Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4., Methods: A retrospective outcomes study was completed for all patients with a minimum 10-year follow-up who underwent arthroscopic 270° labral tear repairs with suture anchors by a single surgeon. Outcome measures included pre- and postoperative Rowe score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Simple Shoulder Test, visual analog scale for pain, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE). Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) scores were collected postoperatively. Complication data were collected, including continued instability, subluxation or dislocation events, and revision surgery. Failure was defined as any cause of revision surgery., Results: In total, 21 patients (mean ± SD age, 27.1 ± 9.6 years) with 270° labral repairs were contacted at a minimum 10-year follow-up. All outcome measures showed statistically significant improvements as compared with those preoperatively: Rowe (53.9 ± 11.4 to 88.7 ± 8.9; P = .005), ASES (72.9 ± 18.4 to 91.8 ± 10.8; P = .004), Simple Shoulder Test (8.7 ± 2.4 to 11.2 ± 1.0; P = .013), visual analog scale (2.5 ± 2.6 to 0.5 ± 1.1; P = .037), and SANE (24.0 ± 15.2 to 91.5 ± 8.3; P = .043). The mean postoperative WOSI score at minimum follow-up was 256.3 ± 220.6. Three patients had postoperative complications, including a traumatic subluxation, continued instability, and a traumatic dislocation, 2 of which required revision surgery (14.2% failure rate)., Conclusion: Arthroscopic repairs of 270° labral tears involving the anterior, inferior, and posterior labrum have highly satisfactory clinical outcomes at 10 years, with complication and redislocation rates similar to those reported at 2 years. This suggests that repairs of extensile labral tears are effective in restoring and maintaining mechanical stability of the glenohumeral joint in the long term.

- Abstract
Background: Posterior glenoid wear remains a challenge in anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) because of an asymmetric erosion with altered retroversion. The purpose of this study was to assess glenoid morphology and evaluate the influence of acromial orientation in posterior glenoid erosion patterns by using 3-dimensional (3D) models., Material and Methods: Computed tomographic (CT) shoulder scans from 3 study centers of patients awaiting rTSA between 2017 and 2018 were converted into 3D models and analyzed by 2 observers. Morphology, orientation and greatest depth of erosion, inclination, current retroversion and premorbid retroversion, surface areas of the glenoid, and external acromial orientation and posterior acromial slope were assessed. Measurements were compared between wear patterns, glenoid erosion entities, and genders., Results: In the complete cohort of 68 patients (63.8 ± 10.0 years; 19 female, 49 male), a mean of 85.9° (±22.2°) was observed for the glenoid erosion orientation. Additionally, a further distinct classification of the glenoid erosion as posterior-central (PC, n = 39), posterior-inferior (PI, n = 12), and posterior-superior (PS, n = 17) wear patterns was possible. These wear patterns significantly (P < .001) distinguished by erosion orientation (PC = 86.9° ± 12.0°, PI = 116.3° ± 10.3°, PS = 62.3° ± 18.9°). The greatest depth of erosion found was 7.3 ± 2.7 mm in PC wear patterns (PC vs. PI: P = .03; PC vs. PS: n.s.; PI vs. PS: n.s.). Overall, the observed erosion divided the glenoid surface into a paleoglenoid proportion of 48% (±11%) and a neoglenoid proportion of 52% (±12%). For the complete cohort, glenoid inclination was 85.4° (±6.6°), premorbid glenoid retroversion was 80.7° (±8.1°), and current glenoid retroversion was 73.4° (±7.4°), with an estimated increase of 6.9° (±6.0°). The mean external acromial orientation was 118.2° (±8.9°), and the mean posterior acromial slope was 107.2° (±9.6°). There were no further significant differences if parameters were compared by wear patterns, entities, and gender., Conclusion: Three significantly differently oriented wear patterns (posterior-superior, posterior-central, and posterior-inferior) were distinguished in shoulders demonstrating posterior wear on axillary imaging. No significant differences between the observed erosion patterns or any relevant correlations were found regarding the orientation of the acromion., (Copyright © 2021 Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Board of Trustees.

- Abstract
Background: In the past decade, superior capsular reconstruction has emerged as a potential surgical approach in young patients with irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears (RCT) and absence of severe degenerative changes. Recently, the use of locally available and biological viable autografts, such as the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) for SCR has emerged, with promising early results., Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using the LHBT for reconstruction of the superior capsule on shoulder kinematics, along with different fixation constructs in a dynamic biomechanical model. The authors hypothesized that each of the 3 proposed fixation techniques would restore native joint kinematics, including glenohumeral superior translation (ghST), maximum abduction angle (MAA), maximum cumulative deltoid force (cDF), and subacromial peak contact pressure (sCP)., Study Design: Controlled laboratory study., Methods: Eight fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders (mean age, 53.4 ± 14.2 years) were tested using a dynamic shoulder simulator. Each specimen underwent the following 5 conditions: (1) intact, (2) irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tear (psRCT), (3) V-shaped LHBT reconstruction, (4) box-shaped LHBT reconstruction, and (5) single-stranded LHBT reconstruction. MAA, ghST, cDF and sCP were assessed in each tested condition., Results: Each of the 3 LHBT techniques for reconstruction of the superior capsule significantly increased MAA while significantly decreasing ghST and cDF compared with the psRCT ( P < .001 and P < .001, respectively). Additionally, the V-shaped and box-shaped techniques significantly decreased sCP ( P = .009 and P = .016, respectively) compared with the psRCT. The V-shaped technique further showed a significantly increased MAA ( P < .001, respectively) and decreased cDF ( P = .042 and P = .039, respectively) when compared with the box-shaped and single-stranded techniques, as well as a significantly decreased ghST ( P = .027) when compared with the box-shaped technique., Conclusion: In a dynamic biomechanical cadaveric model, using the LHBT for reconstruction of the superior capsule improved shoulder function by preventing superior humeral migration, decreasing deltoid forces and sCP. As such, the development of rotator cuff tear arthropathy in patients with irreparable psRCTs could potentially be delayed., Clinical Relevance: Using a biologically viable and locally available LHBT autograft is a cost-effective, potentially time-saving, and technically feasible alternative for reconstruction of the superior capsule, which may result in favorable outcomes in irreparable psRCTs. Moreover, each of the 3 techniques restored native shoulder biomechanics, which may help improve shoulder function by preventing superior humeral head migration and the development of rotator cuff tear arthropathy in young patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears.

- Abstract
Background: Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) for massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears has become more widely used recently; however, ideal tensioning of the graft and the influence on joint kinematics remain unknown., Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of graft tensioning on glenohumeral joint kinematics after SCR using a dermal allograft. The hypothesis was that a graft fixed under tension would result in increased glenohumeral abduction motion and decreased cumulative deltoid forces compared with a nontensioned graft., Study Design: Controlled laboratory study., Methods: A total of 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were tested using a dynamic shoulder simulator. Each shoulder underwent the following 4 conditions: (1) native, (2) simulated irreparable supraspinatus (SSP) tear, (3) SCR using a nontensioned acellular dermal allograft, and (4) SCR using a graft tensioned with 30 to 35 N. Mean values for maximum glenohumeral abduction and cumulative deltoid forces were recorded. The critical shoulder angle (CSA) was also assessed., Results: Native shoulders required a mean (±SE) deltoid force of 193.2 ± 45.1 N to achieve maximum glenohumeral abduction (79.8° ± 5.8°). Compared with native shoulders, abduction decreased after SSP tears by 32% (54.3° ± 13.7°; P = .04), whereas cumulative deltoid forces increased by 23% (252.1 ± 68.3 N; P = .04). The nontensioned SCR showed no significant difference in shoulder abduction (54.1° ± 16.1°) and required deltoid forces (277.8 ± 39.8 N) when compared with the SSP tear state. In contrast, a tensioned graft led to significantly improved shoulder abduction compared with the SSP tear state ( P = .04) although abduction and deltoid forces could not be restored to the native state ( P = .01). A positive correlation between CSA and maximum abduction was found for the tensioned-graft SCR state ( r = 0.685; P = .02)., Conclusion: SCR using a graft fixed under tension demonstrated a significant increase in maximum shoulder abduction compared with a nontensioned graft; however, abduction remained significantly less than the intact state. The nontensioned SCR showed no significant improvement in glenohumeral kinematics compared with the SSP tear state., Clinical Relevance: Because significant improvement in shoulder function after SCR may be expected only when the graft is adequately tensioned, accurate graft measurement and adequate tension of at least 30 N should be considered during the surgical procedure. SCR with a tensioned graft may help maintain sufficient acromiohumeral distance, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce postoperative complications., Competing Interests: One or more of the authors has declared the following potential conflict of interest or source of funding: The University of Connecticut Health Center/UConn Musculoskeletal Institute received direct funding and material support for this study from Arthrex.

- Abstract
Background: Revision surgery in cases of previously failed primary acromioclavicular (AC) joint stabilization remains challenging mainly because of anatomic alterations or technical difficulties. However, anatomic coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction (ACCR) has been shown to achieve encouraging biomechanical, clinical, and radiographic short-term to midterm results., Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic long-term outcomes of patients undergoing revision ACCR after failed operative treatment for type III through V AC joint injuries with a minimum 10-year follow-up., Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4., Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on prospectively collected data within an institutional shoulder registry. Patients who underwent revision ACCR for type III through V AC joint injuries between January 2003 and December 2009 were analyzed. Clinical outcome measures included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE). The coracoclavicular distance (CCD) was measured for radiographic analysis immediately postoperatively and at last postoperative follow-up., Results: A total of 8 patients with a mean age at the time of surgery of 44.6 ± 10.6 years and a mean follow-up of 135.0 ± 17.4 months (range, 120-167 months) were eligible for inclusion in the study. The time from initial AC joint stabilization until revision surgery was 10.2 ± 12.4 months (range, 0.5-36 months); 62.5% of the patients had undergone more than 2 previous AC joint surgical procedures. The ASES score improved from 43.9 ± 22.4 preoperatively to 80.6 ± 28.8 postoperatively ( P = .012), the SST score improved from 4.4 ± 3.6 preoperatively to 11.0 ± 2.2 postoperatively ( P = .017), and the SANE score improved from 31.4 ± 27.3 preoperatively to 86.9 ± 24.1 postoperatively ( P = .018) at final follow-up. There was no significant difference in the CCD ( P = .08) between the first (7.6 ± 3.0 mm) and final (10.6 ± 2.8 mm) radiographic follow-up (mean, 50.5 ± 32.7 months [range, 18-98 months])., Conclusion: Patients undergoing revision ACCR after failed operative treatment for type III through V AC joint injuries maintained significant improvement in clinical outcomes at a minimum 10-year follow-up., Competing Interests: One or more of the authors has declared the following potential conflict of interest or source of funding: The University of Connecticut Health Center/UConn Musculoskeletal Institute has received direct funding and material support from Arthrex; the company had no influence on the study design, data collection, or interpretation of the results or the final article.
