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.

In recent studies objective evaluations have demonstrated that arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs can have higher failure rates than open repairs. Thus, there is a need for a stronger tissue-holding stitch for arthroscopical repair. The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of traditional open transosseous suture technique and modified Mason-Allen stitches versus double-loaded suture anchors and arthroscopic Mason-Allen stitches in rotator cuff repair. Methods. In 20 sheep shoulders the infraspinatus tendons were dissected from their insertion and were randomized to 2 repair groups: (1) repair with transosseous suture and modified Mason-Allen stitches, (2) repair with double loaded bioabsorbable suture anchors and arthroscopic Mason-Allen stitches: Both groups were coupled with braided, nonabsorbable polyester (Ethibond) suture sized USP No. 2. All repairs were cyclically loaded from 10 to 180 N with the use of a materials testing machine. The number of cycles to gap formation of 5 and 10 rum at the repair site and the mode of failure were recorded. Results. The number of cycles to 5-mm gap was mean 634 (SD 106) for group 1 and mean 750 (SD 107) for group 2 (P < 0.026). The corresponding values to 10-mm, gap were mean 1573 (SD 161) for group 1, and mean 1789 (SD 183 cycles) for group 2 (P < 0.012). In group 2 the mode of failure occurred by tissue pull-out, whereas in group 1 the failure occurred by a mixture of suture breakage and pull-out. Conclusions. This time-zero study demonstrates that the combination of bioabsorbable suture anchors and arthroscopic Mason-Allen stitches provides strength superior to that of the modified Mason-Allen transosseous suture technique under isometric cyclic loading conditions. However, additional evaluation is needed to examine the effects on the sustained strength of the repair throughout the healing process. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Results were determined by the assessment of subjective and objective parameters to estimate both shoulder function and general health status. Symptoms persisted without improvement for a minimum of 6 months of conservative treatment. Preoperative average American shoulder and elbow surgeons score (ASES) was 35, visual analog scale (VAS) to measure pain was 7, and simple shoulder test (SST) was 4. Mean scores of the physical component of SF-36 were considerably reduced. Mean forward elevation was 85 degrees, average abduction was 70 degrees, mean internal rotation was 15 degrees, and mean external rotation was 10 degrees. Patients were followed-up at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months and by a mean of 36 months. Range of motion for all planes improved (P < 0.05).

Methods: Eighteen mature female sheep were randomly assigned to either a single-row treatment group using arthroscopic Mason-Allen stitches or a double-row treatment group using a combination of arthroscopic Mason-Allen and mattress stitches. Each group was analyzed at 1 of 3 survival points (6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 26 weeks). We evaluated the integrity of the cuff repair using MRI and biomechanical properties using a mechanical testing machine. Results: The mean load to failure was significantly higher in the double-row group compared with the single-row group at 6 and 12 weeks (P = .018 and P = .002, respectively).

According to the VAS, the mean intensity was 3.4 points. 6 (33%) of the patients had no difficulty with the knee and 9 (50%) of them had mild or moderate difficulty. The SF-36 scores were similar to those for normative data for patients after TKA, with only the social functioning, role emotional, and physical functioning scores being lower and the role physical and social functioning scores being higher. Three of 20 fusions failed, whereas two knees became non-infected non-unions. In one, the knee infection persisted and required above-knee amputation. The two-stage arthrodesis gave the most predictable rate of fusion. Persistent infection and extensive bone stock losses led to failure even under the best circumstances.

Results: All of the patients were available for follow-up. Eighteen of the 27 procedures resulted in an improvement in the patient's knee score. The average Knee Society ratings increased from 71 points before arthroscopy to 85 at follow-up for the knee score. The average functional scores were 69 and 83 points, respectively. The Knee Society pain score improved from 32 to 41 points. Nine patients underwent a subsequent open revision after arthroscopic diagnosis or treatment. Operative diagnoses included arthrofibrosis, impinging hypertrophic synovitis, impinging posterior cruciate ligament stump, prosthesis loosening or wear, symptomatic pseudomeniscus, an infrapatellar spur, and meniscal rupture. There was 1 infection as a complication associated with the arthroscopic procedure. Conclusions: Arthroscopic treatment of painful knee arthroplasty provides reliable expectations for improvement in function, decrease in pain, and improvement in knee scores for most patients.
