OSTEOARTHRITIS
- Significant impairment of ADL
– Matsen, et al. – Sperling, et al.
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
OA: TRADITIONAL MANAGEMENT
- Live with it
- meds, injections,
therapy
- Replacement
- partial, total,
reverse
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
CURRENT OPTIONS
- Live it:
- PRP?; HA? Stem cells
- Arthroscopic options
- Replacement
- resurfacing/short/regul
ar stem: what about activity level?
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
ACCEPTED TREATMENT
- Age > 60, sedentary
lifestyle gets TSA
- Age > 70 with RCT :
RSP
- What about the rest
- f the population?
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
OA: SURGERY < 60
- Arthroscopic debridement: mixed results
- Replacement:
– Rockwood: hemi-arthroplasty – Matsen: Ream and run
– TSA is Procedure of choice in “older” patients but
unsatisfactory in young patients (Sperling)-is this related to the etiology or the subscapularis? – Usually not compatible with active population (? early glenoid loosening)
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
WHY DO “YOUNGER” PATIENTS DO WORSE?
- 1. Not a fair comparison:
Etiology different: post traumatic or post surgical
- 2. Anatomical status of the shoulder is more
impaired
- 3. Activity demands by the patient are different:
More longevity is required
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
“YOUNGER” SOLUTIONS
- Think outside the box a little
- Try to preserve normal anatomy and reconstruct
the abnormal parts
- Think long term and utilize “time buying “
philosophy for solutions-means a lot of patient communication: essentially the only lifetime solution would be arthrodesis
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
REALISTIC OPTIONS: LIVE WITH IT
- Supplements: glucosamine, Vit C, Lanny’s
Acanthin’s
- Oral NSAIDs
- Injections : cortisone
- PRP, ADSC, BMAC’s
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
REALISTIC OPTIONS: ACTIVITY MODIFICATION
- Best in heavy lifters whom you can
convince to “go light”
- Temporary fix for most patients
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
REALISTIC OPTIONS: ARTHROSCOPY
- Debridement and
microfracture
- Capsular release
- Remove spurs
– Acromion – A/C joint – Coracoid – Humeral “goats beard”
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
REALISTIC OPTIONS: ARTHROSCOPY
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
REALISTIC OPTIONS: ARTHROSCOPY
- Post op course: start
ROM ASAP
- Remind the therapist to
distract the joint for mobs (they usually load it to mobilize)
- Modalities early &
- ften
- Remember Aquatics
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
REALISTIC OPTIONS: RESURFACING
- Glenoid
- Patches/fascia: flat smooth surface
- Lateral meniscus (stress concentrator)
- Humeral
- SRA vs HHR
- Fresh Allografts (Gobezie technique)
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
OFF LABEL USE
- The use of commercial patches to
resurface the glenoid is off label: they are not currently indicated for this purpose.
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
RESURFACING
- A “buying time” and activity option
- Pain relief neither as good nor as
durable as TSA
- Activity level can be normal (different
than TSA)
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
OSTEOARTHRITIS: ARTHROSCOPIC GLENOID RESURFACING
- Debride and release
- Microfracture &
decompress
- Measure glenoid to
size graft
- Finish debridement &
removal of previous surgical materials
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
OA: GLENOID RESURFACING
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
GLENOID RESURFACING: POSTOPERATIVE
- Abduction sling 4 weeks
- Begin ROM (distract & stretch)
- Advance rehab through phases as
tolerated
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
RESULTS: Arthroscopy 2009
(Savoie et al)
- 19 / 20 initially satisfied @ 2 years
- 15 / 20 satisfied @ 6 years
– 5 failures
- 2 = pain
- 3 = ROM

37 Y/O WELDER: CHONDROLYSIS POST SURGERY
- 1st surgery was a
SLAP repair for
- veruse syndrome
- 2nd
surgery=debridem ent of repair
- 3rd
surgery=resurfacin g
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
GLENOID RESURFACING
- Activity levels: 2 collegiate football players,
1 softball player, 1 pro water skier. Lots of golfers!
- Several power lifters
- Jobs: RN, manual laborers
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
WHAT TO DO WITH THE NON- CONCENTRIC HH
- Not a candidate for
glenoid resurfacing
- Same issues with
TSA and high level activity so have to preserve joint to buy time
- Try to preserve the
subscapularis
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
HUMERAL HEAD RESURFACING
- Arthroscopically assisted, subscapularis-
sparing approach
– Is this important?
- Minimally invasive, rapid rehabilitation
- Use when humeral head incongruent:
judge on axillary view
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
SUBSCAPULARIS INSUFFICIENCY
- Miller (Flatow) et al :2003 JSES : 66% of
post TSA patients had subscap problems and 91% had significant side to side difference
- Scheibel et al (Habermier) AJSM in 2006
and 2007: 70% of primary open stabilizations and 91% of revision stabilizations in YOUNG had subscapularis dysfunction and atrophy (MRI)
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
SUBSCAPULARIS REPAIR MODIFICATIONS
- Caplan(Nevaiser): do a better tenotomy repair
JSES 2009
- Qureshi (Flatow): do an osteotomy JSES 2008
- Krishnan: Do a novel and better repair: JSES
- Defranco (Higgins and Warner) : Lots of
techniques –review article JAAOS 20
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
SUBSCAPULARIS INSUFFICIENCY: IS IT REAL?
- Jackson, Cil, Smith and Steinman: JSES 2010:
US evaluation of 15 satisfied TSA patients found that 7 had complete tears of the subscapularis
- Remember the old study by Hawk that
showed 50% of patients after open subscap takedown had subscapularis dysfunction
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
SUBSCAPULARIS SPARING APPROACH
- “Mini” open delto-pectoral approach
- Split and only partially detach lower ½ to ⅓
- f subscapularis via lower raphe
- Debride head / remove spurs
- SRA to match patients on version and
alignment
- Standard TSA if glenoid deformity not too
severe

POST OP COURSE
- Sling x 2 weeks with PROM
- Active ER & ext at 2 wks; add IR & flexion
at 3 wks
- PT progression at 4 weeks
- No restriction on post op activities
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
RESULTS: SUBSCAPULARIS ASSESSMENT
- 50 patient series reviewed: 48 / 50
Good/Excellent Results @ 2-5 years (ASES) 2 Fair, 0 poor ( accepted JSES)
- No subscap detachments or atrophy via
post op MRI/US in 30 pts
- All 50 pts had negative belly press, lift off
and bear hug on clinical exam
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
RESULTS: DURABILITY
- 120 patient series reviewed at minimum 6
year follow up
- Only 3 converted to TSA
- 115 of the 120 would do it again
- However, only 42% were pain free; most
were taking NSAID and some narcotics but most were continuing normal activity
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
8 Year Follow Up: Bench 325 Lbs. at Age 58
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
ACTIVITY: A.A. SRA
- Bench press champs in 2 states
- 2 UFC fighters
- 2 pro water skiers, 1 collegiate cheerleader
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
TOTAL SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY
- Have started a
prospective series
- f TSA with
subscap preserving approach
- Seems to be higher
satisfaction early but need to wait and see-won’t be publishing for awhile
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
REVERSE SHOULDER ARTROPLASTY
- Miracle result for 70+
year old with pseudoparalysis
- Incidence and
indications going up exponentially with little follow up
- Complications and
failure rate are much higher in “young” pts in best of hands
- Salvage is problematic
Tulane Orthopaedic Surgery
CONCLUSIONS
- “Younger” patients with arthritis are
becoming more common and demanding better results
- Bone and soft tissue (subscap)
preservation may be the key to satisfaction
- Try to think long term and in stages
to buy time and activity without jumping to irreversible options
