Thirty fresh-frozen sheep shoulders were randomly assigned among three investigation groups: (1) cyclic loading, (2) load-to-failure testing, and (3) tendon-bone interface contact pressure measurement. Shoulders were cyclically loaded from 10 to 180 N and displacement to gap formation of 5- and 10-mm at the repair site. Cycles to failure were determined. Additionally, the ultimate tensile strength and stiffness were verified along with the mode of failure. The average contact pressure and pressure pattern were investigated using a pressure-sensitive film system. All of the specimens resisted against 3,000 cycles and none of them reached a gap formation of 10 mm. The number of cycles to 5-mm gap formation was 2,884.5 +/- A 96.8 cycles. The ultimate tensile strength was 565.8 +/- A 17.8 N and stiffness was 173.7 +/- A 9.9 N/mm. The entire specimen presented a unique mode of failure as it is well known in using high strength sutures by pulling them through the tendon. We observed a mean contact pressure of 1.19 +/- A 0.03 MPa, applied on the footprint area. The fundamental results of our study support the use of a suture-bridge technique for optimising the conditions of the healing biology of a reconstructed rotator cuff tendon. Nevertheless, an individual estimation has to be done if using the suture-bridge technique clinically. Further investigation is necessary to evaluate the cell biological healing process in order to achieve further sufficient advancements in rotator cuff repair."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00167-009-0941-7"],["dc.identifier.isi","000278931500027"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19826786"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/4969"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/19563"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0942-2056"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Tendon-bone contact pressure and biomechanical evaluation of a modified suture-bridge technique for rotator cuff repair"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Additionally, the mode of failure of each repair was evaluated. In 32 sheep shoulders, a standardized tear of the infraspinatus tendon was created. Then, n = 8 specimen were randomized to four repair methods: (1) Double-row Anchor Ethibond(A (R)) coupled with polyester sutures, USP No. 2; (2) Double-Row Anchor HiFi(A (R)) with polyblend polyethylene sutures, USP No. 2; (3) Single-Row Anchor Ethibond(A (R)) coupled with braided polyester sutures, USP No. 2; and (4) Single-Row Anchor HiFi(A (R)) with braided polyblend polyethylene sutures, USP No. 2. Arthroscopic Mason-Allen stitches were placed (single-row) and combined with medial horizontal mattress stitches (double-row). All specimens were loaded to failure at a constant displacement rate on a material testing machine. Group 4 showed lowest load-to-failure result with 155.7 +/- A 31.1 N compared to group 1 (293.4 +/- A 16.1 N) and group 2 (397.7 +/- A 7.4 N) (P < 0.001).

In group 4, the main cause of failure was due to the suture cutting through the tendon (n = 6), a failure case observed in only n = 1 specimen in group 2 (P < 0.001).

Thirty-two fresh-frozen sheep shoulders were randomly assigned to four repair groups: suture anchor single-row repair coupled with (1) braided, nonabsorbable polyester suture sized USP No. 2 (SRAE) or (2) braided polyblend polyethylene suture sized No. 2 (SRAH). The double-row repair was coupled with (3) USP No. 2 (DRAE) or (4) braided polyblend polyethylene suture No. 2 (DRAH).

Displacement to gap formation of 5- and 10-mm at the repair site, cycles to failure, and the mode of failure were determined. The ultimate tensile strength was verified in specimens that resisted to 3,000 cycles. DRAE and DRAH had a lower frequency of 5- (P = 0.135) and 10-mm gap formation (P = 0.135). All DRAE and DRAH resisted 3,000 cycles while only three SRAE and one SRAH resisted 3,000 cycles (P < 0.001). The ultimate tensile strength in double-row specimens was significantly higher than in others (P < 0.001). There was no significant variation in using different suture material (P > 0.05). Double-row suture anchor repair with arthroscopic Mason-Allen/medial mattress stitches provides initial strength superior to single-row repair with arthroscopic Mason-Allen stitches under isometric cyclic loading as well as under ultimate loading conditions. Our results support the concept of double-row fixation with arthroscopic Mason-Allen/medial mattress stitches in rotator cuff tears with improvement of initial fixation strength and ultimate tensile load.

Forty fresh-frozen sheep shoulders were randomly assigned to five repair groups: single-row repair using simple stitches (SRA-s), single-row repair using horizontal mattress stitches (SRA-m), and single-row repair using arthroscopic Mason-Allen stitches (SRA-ama). Double-row repair was either performed with a combination of simple and horizontal mattress stitches (DRA-sm) or with arthroscopic Mason-Allen/horizontal mattress stitches (DRA-amam). Investigations were performed using a pressure-sensitive film system. The average contact pressure and pressure pattern were measured for each group. Contact pressure was lowest in SRA-m followed by SRA-s. SRA-ama showed highest contact pressure of all single-row treatment groups (P < 0.05). DRA-amam presented the highest overall contact pressure (P < 0.05), whereas DRA-sm exerted contact pressure equal to that of SRA-ama. Both double-row techniques showed the most expanded pressure pattern. Average contact pressures for the more complex single- and double-row techniques utilizing arthroscopic Mason-Allen stitches were greater than were those of the repair techniques utilizing simple and horizontal mattress stitches. However, the contact pattern between the anchors could be increased by using the double-row technique, resulting in more footprint coverage compared to patterns utilizing the single-row techniques.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the inter-observer variance of grading cartilage lesions in a real life operation. Four experienced arthroscopic surgeons used diagnostic arthroscopy, one after the other, to grade cartilage lesions in a total of 16 patients who had undergone knee arthroscopy. In summary, a total of 14 cartilage areas in 16 patients were graded (n = 224). The Cohens (Fleiss) Kappa Index for multiple investigators was kappa = 0.052 in the medial, kappa = 0.300 in the central, and kappa = 0.107 in the lateral surface of the patella. The indices were kappa = 0.292 in the medial, kappa = 0.0.255 in the central, and kappa = 0.234 in the lateral surface of the trochlea. The inter-observer variance was kappa = 0.193 in the MFC mean bearing zone, kappa = 0.116 in the margin of the MFC, kappa = 0.168 in the mean bearing zone of the TM, and kappa = 0.164 in the TM margin. In the lateral compartment, the kappa-Index was 0.309 in the LFC mean bearing zone, 0.111 in the margin of the LFC, 0.020 in the mean bearing zone of the TL, and 0.085 in the TL margin. The inter-observer reliability of the arthroscopic grading of cartilage lesions is poor.
