Abstract
INTRODUCTION After rotator cuff repair (RCR), return to work and return to sports is affected by various psychosocial factors. The role of one of these factors - mood and anxiety disorders (MAD) - is still not clear. The primary objective of this study was to determine the influence of prior MAD on the return to work and return to sports after RCR. Our hypothesis was that patients with a history of MAD would take longer to return to work and to sports after RCR, and the rate of return would be lower, than for patients without MAD. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective single-center study of patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR (distal supraspinatus tear). Patients who were employed and those who participated in sports before the surgery were included in the "working" and "sports" groups, respectively. The primary outcomes were the time to return to work and return to sports after surgery. The secondary outcomes were the ratio of patients returning to work and to sports at 3, 6 and 12 months; rate of return to same level of sports; need to change or stop working or sports. The effects of prior MAD on these various outcomes were determined using Bayesian multivariate analysis. RESULTS The "working" group consisted of 158 patients (of which 16.5% had MAD) and the "sports" group consisted of 118 patients (of which 17.8% had MAD). In those with a history of MAD, return to work was 21±11 weeks later and the return to sports was 17±8 weeks later than in those without MAD. There was a 98% probability that return to work or return to sports was delayed by at least 4 weeks in patients with history of MAD. The likelihood that patients with prior MAD who undergo RCR will completely abandon their sport was 2.8 times higher (OR=2.8 [1; 7.8]). CONCLUSION We found a negative influence of prior MAD on the return to work and return to sports after RCR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; retrospective case-control study.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:e465-e477. [PMID: 38642872 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2024.03.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To identify and quantify the factors associated with the reparability of rotator cuff tears (RCTs). METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for clinical studies published in English focusing on RCT reparability by using the keywords "rotator cuff tear" and "reparability". A meta-analysis was conducted if ≥3 studies examined the same factor and provided enough data to assess RCT reparability. Quality assessment was completed using the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies tool. RESULTS Eighteen studies (2700 patients) were enrolled and 26 factors were included in the meta-analysis. The dichotomous variables associated with irreparability were Patte stage 3 (odds ratio (OR): 8.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.3-14.9), massive tear vs. large tear (OR: 3.1, 95% CI: 1.3-7.2), Goutallier stage for each tendon, and tangent sign (OR: 11.1, 95% CI: 4.3-28.4). The continuous variables associated with irreparability were age (mean difference (MD): 3.25, 95% CI: 1.4-5.1), mediolateral tear size (MD: 12.3, 95% CI: 5.8-18.9), anteroposterior tear size (MD: 10.4, 95% CI: 5.2-15.6), acromiohumeral distance on X-ray (MD: -2.3, 95% CI: -3.0 to -1.6) and magnetic resonance imaging (MD: -1.8, 95% CI: -2.8 to -0.9), and inferior glenohumeral distance on magnetic resonance imaging (MD: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.4-3.0). CONCLUSION This study revealed that older age, larger tear size, severe fatty infiltration, muscle atrophy, and advanced superior migration of the humeral head were strongly associated with irreparable RCTs. Conversely, clinical symptoms provided limited information for predicting reparability. Additionally, the tangent sign emerged as a powerful and simple tool for individual prediction, and several quantitative scoring systems also proved useful.

Abstract
Background Shoulder arthroplasty (SA) has been shown to improve quality of life, though outcomes may vary between individuals. Multiple factors may affect outcomes, including preoperative mental health conditions (MHCs). The goal of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes after SA in patients with MHC compared to patients without MHC. Methods This systematic review was performed in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines outlined by Cochrane Collaboration. A search of PubMed, the Medline Library, and EMBASE was conducted from inception until September 2023 to obtain studies reporting outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with and without MHC. Study characteristics and information on clinical and functional outcomes were collected. All included studies were case-control studies. The methodological quality of the included primary studies was appraised using the methodological index for nonrandomized studies scoring. Results Eleven articles published between 2016 and 2023 met inclusion criteria. In total, 49,187 patients, 49,289 shoulders, and five different MHC were included. 8134 patients in the cohort had a diagnosed MHC. The mean patient age was 67.8 years (range, 63.5-71.6 years), and 52.6% of the patients were female. The mean follow-up time was 35.5 months (range, 16.2-58.3 months). Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty was the most common type of procedure (25,543 shoulders, 51.8%). Depression and anxiety were the most reported psychiatric diagnoses (7990 patients, 98.2%). Patients with versus without MHC reported mean improvements of 38 and 42 in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder score and mean Visual Analog Scale pain improvements of 4.7 and 4.9, respectively. Mean complication rates of 31.4% and 14.2% were observed in patients with versus without MHC, respectively. The most prevalent surgical complication in patients with MHC was infection (1.8%), followed by prosthetic complication (1.7%), and adhesive capsulitis (1.6%). Conclusions Patients with MHC may have lower preoperative range of motion, worse postoperative shoulder function, and higher postoperative pain levels than patients without MHC. Patients with MHC demonstrated improvements in range of motion and functional outcomes after SA but had higher reported complication and revision rates when compared to patients without MHC. Depression and anxiety were the leading conditions correlated with lower outcomes in patients with MHC after SA. Preoperative physical therapy, mental health counseling, and expectation setting may help these patients reach the maximal achievable benefit from SA.

A threshold of lower preoperative mental health is associated with decreased achievement of comfort and capability benchmarks following rotator cuff repair: a retrospective cohort study. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:e403-e414. [PMID: 38325556 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative biomedical patient characteristics are known to affect the time to achievement of clinically significant outcomes (CSOs) following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). However, less is known about the association between preoperative mental status and the time to achievement of CSOs. We hypothesize that higher preoperative mental status is associated with faster achievement of CSOs following arthroscopic RCR. METHODS Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were collected preoperatively and at postoperative intervals up to 2 years. PROMs included pain visual analog scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12) scores. Threshold values for CSOs were obtained from previous literature. Mean time to achievement of CSOs was calculated using a Kaplan-Meier analysis. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to identify preoperative variables associated with earlier achievement of CSOs. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients with an average age of 59 ± 8 years were included. Patients with higher preoperative mental status, as measured by VR-12 mental component summary (MCS), experienced significantly earlier substantial pain improvement postoperatively (P = .0471). Patients with higher preoperative mental status also achieved CSOs for physical health at earlier time points (P = .0187). Preoperative VR-12 MCS scores ≥ 40 were associated with earlier achievement of CSOs for pain (P = .0005) and physical health (P = .0015). Ninety-eight percent of patients with preoperative MCS scores ≥40 achieved acceptable pain relief at 4.5 months vs. 56% of all other patients at 12.3 months (P = .0001). Patients with preoperative MCS scores ≥40 experienced significantly faster improvement in physical health compared to patients with preoperative MCS scores <40 (P = .0006). CONCLUSIONS Higher preoperative mental status, especially a preoperative MCS score ≥40, is associated with significantly faster improvement in pain and physical function following arthroscopic RCR. Nearly all patients (98%) with preoperative MCS score ≥40 achieved an acceptable state of pain relief compared with only 56% of patients with preoperative MCS score <40. These findings indicate that a holistic approach with equal consideration of preoperative mental health and rotator cuff pathophysiology is vital to the successful management of rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This trial examines the efficacy of the pain neuroscience education on clinical outcomes in patients with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. DESIGN A total of 36 participants undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were assigned to either the experimental group ( n = 18) or control group ( n = 18) in this randomized study. A 6-wk-long conventional physiotherapy program was administered for both groups. In addition, a pain neuroscience education protocol was administered for the experimental group for a whole period of 6 wks (1 session/week, 15-60 mins per session). The primary outcomes were to compare pretreatment and posttreatment scores of the experimental versus control groups on the pain and disability. Our secondary outcomes included the comparisons of scores on the catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, kinesiophobia, and quality of life. The participants were assessed both at baseline and posttreatment. RESULTS The improvement in pain catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, and kinesiophobia was greater in the experimental group ( P < 0.05). The improvement was similar in both groups in terms of the rest of outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the pain neuroscience education improved only psychological aspects of the chronic pain in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Therefore, adding pain neuroscience education to the conventional program might be useful to improve pain catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, and kinesiophobia in patients with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that low preoperative resilience may lead to inferior outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate whether preoperative patient resilience is associated with outcome measures, including patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) and sleep quality, following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. To perform the review, a literature search was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using the PubMed and Embase databases to gather studies related to the influence of preoperative resilience on postoperative outcomes of rotator cuff repair. Methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS). Seven studies with 584 patients were included. Of 36 total reported postoperative outcomes, including PROMs and sleep quality, 14 had a significant positive correlation with higher preoperative resilience. One study reported that higher resilience was significantly correlated with worse sleep quality at a two-week follow-up but not at further follow-ups of up to 24 weeks. Significant differences in outcomes between patients with varying levels of resilience were assessed in five studies, all of which found that patients with higher resilience had significantly better outcomes or no significant differences in outcomes between patients with varying levels of preoperative resilience. In no study was it reported that patients with low resilience had better outcomes. Overall, approximately half of all reported postoperative outcome data was found to be significantly associated with preoperative resilience. Therefore, clinicians should preemptively identify those with low resilience and administer psychological interventions to limit inferior outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Reaching Minimal Clinically Important Difference, Substantial Clinical Benefit, and Patient-Acceptable Symptomatic State for Patient-Reported Outcome Measures following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Does Not Correlate with Patient Satisfaction. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2550. [PMID: 38731077 PMCID: PMC11084458 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13092550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose: Minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) serve as metrics to gauge orthopedic treatment efficacy based on anchoring questions that do not account for a patient's satisfaction with their surgical outcome. This study evaluates if reaching MCID, SCB, or PASS values for American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (ASES), Single Alpha Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and Visual Analog Score (VAS) for pain following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) correlates with overall patient satisfaction. Methods: This was a single-institution, retrospective study of patients who underwent RCR from 2015 to 2019. Pre-operative and 2 year postoperative ASES, SANE, SST, and VAS scores were recorded. Patients underwent a survey to assess: (1) what is your overall satisfaction with your surgical outcome? (scale 1 to 10); (2) if you could go back in time, would you undergo this operation again? (yes/no); (3) for the same condition, would you recommend this operation to a friend or family member? (yes/no). Spearman correlation coefficients were run to assess relationship between reaching MCID, SCB, or PASS and satisfaction. Results: Ninety-two patients were included. Mean preoperative ASES was 51.1 ± 16.9, SANE was 43.3 ± 20.9, SST was 5.4 ± 2.9, and VAS was 4.6 ± 2.1. Mean 2 year ASES was 83.9 ± 18.5, SANE was 81.7 ± 27.0, SST was 9.8 ± 3.2, and VAS was 1.4 ± 1.9. Mean patient satisfaction was 9.0 ± 1.9; 89 (96.7%) patients would undergo surgery again and recommend surgery. Correlation for reaching PASS for SANE and satisfaction was moderate. Correlation coefficients were very weak for all other outcome metrics. Conclusions: Reaching MCID, SCB, and PASS in ASES, SANE, SST, or VAS following RCR did not correlate with a patient's overall satisfaction or willingness to undergo surgery again or recommend surgery. Further investigation into the statistical credibility and overall clinical value of MCID, SCB, and PASS is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cuff is a complex structure with many factors affecting it. How much it is affected after repair is still being investigated. AIM The aim of this study was to analyze the functional results of individuals who received arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and assess the various factors that could impact these outcomes. METHODS The study included 57 patients with a mean age of 58.8 years (range: 39-71) who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between 2013 and 2020, with a minimum of 6 months after the operation. Functional and clinical outcomes of the patients were evaluated using preoperative and postoperative scores (QDASH, ASES, and VAS). The study also analyzed how demographic factors, type and duration of the tear, comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT), and other pathologies may have affected the patients' scores. RESULTS The effect of the operation on the scores in rotator cuff tears was highly significant (P < 0.05). Age, gender, tear size, fatty degeneration, anchor configuration, comorbidities, and additional procedures presented variable values on postoperative scores, but were not statistically significant. The effect of DM and HT on VAS scores was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results of rotator cuff repair appear to be influenced by several factors, including the sex of the patient, type and duration of tear, comorbidities, and surgical procedures used. Although these factors had an effect on the scores, they were not statistically significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Today's rehabilitation decision-making still relies on conventional methods and different specific targeted rehabilitation protocols. Our study focuses on the decision support system for early rehabilitation after rotator cuff (RC) tears repair, where a multicriteria decision-making framework (MCDM) is applied for the prediction of successful functional recovery and selection of a rehabilitation protocol. OBJECTIVE To identify factors that affect recovery outcomes and to develop a decision support system methodology for predicting functional recovery outcomes at early rehabilitation after RC repair. METHODS Twelve rehabilitation experts were involved in the design, calibration, and evaluation of a rehabilitation protocol based on the proposed decision support system constructed using the MCDM framework. For the development of a decision support system, 20 patients after RC surgery undergoing outpatient rehabilitation were enrolled in a prospective cohort clinical trial. RESULTS The MCDM framework (SWARA method) sensitively assesses different criteria and determines the corresponding criteria weights that were similar to criteria weights assessed subjectively by rehabilitation experts. The assignment of patients into the classes, according to the heuristic evaluation method based on expert opinion and the standard qualitative evaluation methods showed the validity of MCDM methods remain the best new alternative in predicting recovery during rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS The results of this paper show that sustainable rehabilitation is an area that is quite suitable for the use of MCDM. The most of rehabilitation protocols are based on traditional methods and approaches, but the sensitive results showed the validity of MCDM methods and remains the best new alternative in prediction recovery protocols during rehabilitation.

A cross-sectional observational study comparing individuals with a symptomatic full-thickness rotator cuff tear with age-matched controls. JSES Int 2024; 8:58-66. [PMID: 38312262 PMCID: PMC10837707 DOI: 10.1016/j.jseint.2023.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background A full-thickness rotator cuff tear (FTRCT) is defined as a complete tear of one of the four rotator cuff muscle tendons (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis or teres minor). This condition can lead to pain and reduced function. However, not all FTRCT are symptomatic. A better understanding of the characteristics that lead some individuals with FTRCT to experience pain is fundamental to improve strategies used to manage this condition. This level II descriptive study aimed to explore potential sociodemographic, anatomical, psychosocial, pain sensitivity, biomechanical and neuromuscular variables that may differ between individuals with symptomatic FTRCT and age-matched individuals with asymptomatic shoulders. Methods In this cross-sectional observational study, adults aged 50 to 80 years of age, either with symptomatic FTRCT or no shoulder pain, were recruited via convenience sampling. Participants filled out questionnaires on sociodemographic and psychosocial variables. Then, various tests were performed, including pain pressure threshold, shoulder range of motion, shoulder muscle strength, shoulder ultrasound and radiologic examination, and sensorimotor functions testing. Each variable was compared between groups using univariate analyses (independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, exact probability Fisher tests). Significance was set at 0.05. Results FTRCT (n = 30) and Control (n = 30) groups were comparable in terms of sex, age, and number of comorbidities. The symptomatic FTRCT group showed a higher proportion of smokers (P = .026) and more participants indicated consuming alcohol or drugs more than they meant to (P = .010). The FTRCT group had a significantly higher prevalence of glenohumeral osteophytes (48% vs. 17%; P = .012). Participants in the FTRCT group were significantly more stressed (P = .04), anxious (P = .003) and depressed (P = .002). The FTRCT group also showed significantly higher levels of pain catastrophisation (P < .001) and sleep disturbance (P < .001). The FTRCT group showed significantly lower range of motion for flexion (P < .001), and external rotation at 0° (P < .001) and 90° (P < .001) of abduction. Isometric strength in both abduction and external rotation were weaker (P = .005) for the FTRCT group. Conclusion Sociodemographic, anatomical, psychosocial and biomechanical variables showed statistically significant differences between the FTRCT and Control groups.

Brindisino F, Minnucci S, Sergi G, Lorusso M, Struyf F, Innocenti T. Does the psychological profile of a patient with frozen shoulder predict future outcome? A systematic review. PHYSIOTHERAPY RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 29:e2056. [PMID: 37867399 DOI: 10.1002/pri.2056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Frozen shoulder (FS) is defined as a condition characterised by functional restriction and daily and nightly pain. As in other shoulder pathologies, the manifestation of psychological factors is recognised in FS; however, from a psychological point of view, only few studies have reported its prognostic value. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate, in patients with FS, the prognostic value of psychological factors on pain, function, disability, health-related quality of life, return to work and time to recovery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This systematic review was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis-PRISMA 2020 guideline. The authors followed the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic review of Intervention as methodological guidance. The Quality in Prognostic Studies-QUIPS tool was used to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS Pain-related fear and depression could be prognostic regarding patient-reported outcome measures assessing shoulder function, disability, and pain; instead, pain catastrophizing could have a prognostic value assessed by the disability of the arm shoulder and hand -DASH scale. Anxiety would appear to impact on disability and pain. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS As widely reported in numerous musculoskeletal conditions, also in FS psychological factors influence the physical dimension such as pain, disability and function. Therefore, clinicians should be encouraged to identify these factors through a comprehensive assessment of the bio-psychological profile of each individual with FS. Perhaps, patients with FS that show such psychological prognostic factors could benefit from a comprehensive and shared approach with other dedicated professionals.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the utilization of psychological treatments changes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) for patients with preoperative depression and/or anxiety. METHODS The Truven Healthcare Marketscan database was used to identify patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR between January 2009 and December 2016. We included all patients with diagnosis codes associated with either depression or anxiety before RCR. Patients were excluded if they did not have complete insurance coverage for 1 year before or after surgery, or if they had arthroscopic RCR in the year before the index surgical procedure. We compared the proportion of patients with preoperative depression or anxiety who filled a prescription and had psychotherapy procedural codes in the year before and the year after arthroscopic RCR. RESULTS A total of 170,406 patients who underwent RCR were identified, of which depression and/or anxiety was found in 46,737 patients (43.7% male). Of the 46,737 patients, 19.6% filled a prescription for a depression/anxiety medication at least once in the year before surgery. Of this subset of patients, 41.5% did not fill a prescription for depression or anxiety medication after surgery, whereas 32.6% continued medication use but demonstrated a median 30-day reduction in the number of days' worth of medication. Similarly, 13.1% of patients were attending psychotherapy sessions preoperatively, but 76.6% of those patients either stopped or reduced the amount of psychotherapy sessions in the year following RCR. CONCLUSIONS The number of prescriptions and psychotherapy sessions decreased in the year after RCR for patients with preoperative diagnoses of depression and/or anxiety.

Abstract
Aims We aimed to evaluate the correlation between preoperative and postoperative resilience scores and postoperative outcomes at minimum 2-year follow-up after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods We prospectively enrolled 98 patients who underwent rotator cuff repair. We assessed resilience using the Brief Resilience Scale. Postoperatively, we obtained patient-reported outcomes measures including American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, and Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Global Health-10 at minimum 2-year follow-up. We used Spearman correlation coefficients (r) to assess the relationship between variables. Results Ninety-one of 98 patients (93%) provided follow-up at an average of 32 months. Preoperative Brief Resilience Scale did not show a statistically significant correlation with American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (r = 0.156; p = 0.142). However, preoperative Brief Resilience Scale showed statistically significant correlations with Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Global Health-10 (r = 0.290; p = 0.005) and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (r = 0.259; p = 0.014). Postoperative Brief Resilience Scale showed statistically significant correlations with American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (r = 0.291; p = 0.005), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (r = 0.384; p < 0.001) and Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Global Health-10 (r = 0.515; p < 0.001). Discussion Resilience may be a valuable predictor of patients at risk of having suboptimal outcomes after rotator cuff repair and a target to improve surgical outcomes through non-surgical means.

Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2023; 85:5523-5527.

Abstract
Introduction The impact of anxiety and depression on outcomes in orthopaedic trauma surgery is a topic of growing research interest. Patients and methods Orthopaedic trauma patients often experience high rates of psychiatric disorders, with anxiety and depression being the most prevalent. Mental health disorders have been shown to increase the risk of negative surgical outcomes and morbidity. This narrative review seeks to summarize the current literature surrounding the impacts of anxiety and depression on orthopaedic trauma surgery outcomes. Discussion There is a bidirectional relationship between chronic pain and mental health disorders, involving overlapping brain regions and neurotransmitter pathways. Anxiety and depression have been identified as predictors of negative surgical outcomes in orthopaedic trauma patients. Screening tools like the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener-7 (GAD-7), and Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36) can assess mental health status and help tailor interventions. Psychological distress, chronic pain, and traumatic limb amputation are factors that contribute to adverse mental health outcomes in orthopaedic trauma patients. Opioid use for pain management is common in orthopaedic surgery, but it can worsen symptoms of depression and lead to dependency. Non-opioid pain management strategies may improve postoperative outcomes by reducing the impact of opioid-exacerbated depression. Conclusion Mental health interventions, both preoperative and postoperative, are crucial in optimizing surgical outcomes and improving patient quality of life. Multidisciplinary approaches that address both physical and mental health are recommended for orthopaedic trauma patients. Further research is needed to develop effective interventions for improving mental health outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Socioeconomic disparities correlate with worse outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. However, use of a surrogate to describe socioeconomic disadvantage has been a challenge. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a tool that encompasses 17 socioeconomic variables into a single metric based on census location. HYPOTHESIS Higher ADI would result in a worse minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and have less improvement in range of motion (ROM) following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHOD A retrospective review was performed for patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Patients in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged quartile (ADIHigh) were compared with the least disadvantaged quartile (ADILow) in the ability to reach MCID. Demographic and surgical features were assessed for attainment of MCID. RESULTS In total 1382 patients were identified who underwent ARCR, of which a total of 306 patients met final inclusion criteria. A higher percentage of patients within the ADIHigh cohort identified as "Black" or "other" race and had government-issued insurance compared with the ADILow cohort (P < .05). The ADIHigh cohort had significantly worse postoperative forward flexion compared with the ADILow cohort (145.0°± 32.5° vs 156.3°± 23.4°; P = .001) despite starting with comparable preoperative ROM (P = .17). Logistic regression showed that ADI was the only variable significant for predicting achievement of MCID for all 3 PROMIS domains, with the ADIHigh cohort having significantly worse odds of achieving MCID Physical Function (odds ratio [OR], 0.31; P = .001), Pain Interference (OR, 0.21; P = .001), and Depression (OR, 0.28; P = .001). Meanwhile, age, sex, body mass index, and smoking history were nonsignificant. Moreover, "other" for race and Medicare insurance were significant for achievement of MCID Depression but not Physical Function or Pain Interference. Finally, ADI was the main feature for predictive logistic regression modeling. CONCLUSION ADI served as the only significant predictor for achieving MCID for all 3 PROMIS domains after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Patients who face high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage have lower rates of achieving MCID. In addition, patients with greater neighborhood disadvantage demonstrated significantly worse improvement in active forward flexion. Further investigation is required to understand the role of ADI on physical therapy compliance and to identify the barriers that prevent equitable postoperative care.

Abstract
Purpose To compare patient-reported and surgical outcome measures in patients with and without secondary shoulder stiffness (SSS) undergoing rotator cuff repair (RCR). Methods Patients undergoing rotator cuff repair from 2014 to 2020 with complete patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) by the short-form 12 survey (SF-12) were retrospectively reviewed to identify if operative intervention for SSS was performed alongside the RCR. Those patients with operative intervention for SSS were propensity matched to a group without prior intervention for stiffness by age, sex, laterality, body mass index, diabetes mellitus status, and the presence of a thyroid disorder. The groups were compared by rotator cuff tear (RCT) size, surgical outcomes, further surgical intervention, rotator cuff retear rate, postoperative range of motion (ROM), and SF-12 results at 1 year after surgery. Delta values were calculated for component scores of the SF-12 and ROM values by subtracting the preoperative result from the postoperative result. Results A total of 89 patients with SSS were compared to 156 patients in the control group at final analysis. The patients in the SSS group experienced a significant improvement in the delta mental health component score (MCS-12) of the SF-12 survey that was not seen in the control group (P = .005 to P = .539). Both groups experienced significant improvement by the delta physical health component score (PCS-12) of the SF-12 survey (SSS: 7.68; P < .001; control: 6.95; P < .001). The SSS group also experienced greater improvement of their forward flexion (25.8° vs 12.9°; P = .005) and external rotation (7.13° vs 1.65°; P = .031) ROM than the control group. Conclusions Operative intervention of SSS at the time of RCR has equivalent postoperative SF-12 survey outcome scores when compared to patients undergoing RCR without preoperative stiffness despite those patients having lower preoperative scores. Level of Evidence Level III retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Rotator cuff injury is a common condition that affects the shoulder and is characterized by damage to the tendons and muscles in the shoulder area. This type of injury can lead to decreased shoulder function, pain, and decreased quality of life for those affected. As such, finding effective treatments for rotator cuff injury is important for improving patient outcomes and reducing the impact of this condition on patients and society. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of SH (Sodium Hyaluronate) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) in treating rotator cuff injuries in the shoulder. Patients who were diagnosed with Rotator Cuff Injury (RCI) and received treatment at the hospital were selected as the study subjects and divided into four groups. Various treatments were given to patients in each group. Two-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyze the results. The study found that patients who received ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma combined with sodium hyaluronate had significantly higher shoulder function recovery rates and better quality of life compared to the other groups. They also reported significantly lower pain scores compared to the other groups. The results suggest that ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma combined with sodium hyaluronate can effectively improve the shoulder function of patients with rotator cuff injury, reducing pain and improving their overall well-being. This has implications for improving patient outcomes and reducing the impact of rotator cuff injury on patients and society by providing a promising treatment option for this common condition.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between preoperative mental health disorders and postoperative complications, readmissions, and ipsilateral revision procedures among patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). METHODS A retrospective cohort study from 2010 to 2020 was performed using the PearlDiver database. Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases codes were used to compare patients with and without mental health disorders who underwent arthroscopic RCR. Mental health disorders evaluated in this study include depressive disorder, major depressive disorder, major depressive affective disorder, bipolar disorder, dysthymic disorder, adjustment disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Patients were matched at a 1:1 ratio based on age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, body mass index, and tobacco use. Rates of complications and subsequent surgeries were compared between patients with and without a preoperative diagnosis of a mental health disorder. RESULTS The 1-year preoperative prevalence of a mental health disorder from 2010 to 2020 was 14.6%. After 1:1 matching, patients with a mental health disorder who underwent arthroscopic RCR were nearly twice as likely to undergo a revision procedure (odds ratio 1.94, 95% confidence interval 1.76-2.14, P < .001) and more than twice as likely to experience conversion to shoulder arthroplasty (odds ratio 2.29, 95% confidence interval 1.88-2.80, P < .001) within 2 years of initial arthroscopy when compared with patients without a mental disorder. Patients with a mental disorder also experienced increased risk for 90-day readmission (1.9% vs 0%, P < .001) as well as multiple postoperative medical complications. CONCLUSIONS Patients with pre-existing mental health diagnoses experience increased rates of 90-day postoperative complications and readmissions following arthroscopic RCR. In addition, patients with mental health diagnoses are more likely to undergo revision repair and conversion to shoulder arthroplasty within 2 years of the index procedure.

The Influence of Psychosocial Factors on Hip Surgical Disorders and Outcomes After Hip Arthroscopy: A Systematic Review. Arthroscopy 2022; 38:3194-3206. [PMID: 35660519 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2022.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To systematically review the associations between mental health and preoperative or postoperative outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement. METHODS The literature search was conducted using the PubMed, EMBASE and PsychINFO databases following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines. RESULTS Nine studies were identified that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All studies assessing patient-reported outcomes found significantly lower patient-reported outcomes (modified Harris Hip Score, Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score-Sports-Specific Subscale, and International Hip Outcome Tool scores) related to worse mental health functioning before surgery. Specifically, preoperative Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living and Hip Outcome Score-Sports-Specific Subscale were significantly greater in control patients than patients in the mental health group by 11.6 points (mean difference; 95% confidence interval 7.58-15.79, P < .001) and 10 points (95% confidence interval 5.14-14.87, P < .001), without significant heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 28.59, P = .25; I2 = 0, P = .93), respectively. Patients with lower mental health status also had lower rates of achieving a minimal clinically important difference in 5 studies included in this review. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review finds consistent evidence supporting the association between negative psychological function and worse preoperative and postoperative outcomes for patients with hip disorders. Understanding both the effect of mental health on surgical outcomes and the potential benefits of psychological intervention may represent an opportunity to improve patient outcomes following hip arthroscopy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, systematic review of Level II-IV studies.

World J Orthop 2022; 13:1029-1037. [PMID: 36439367 PMCID: PMC9685631 DOI: 10.5312/wjo.v13.i11.1029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Around one third of patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will eventually have the contralateral knee replaced. Overall patient satisfaction after staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty procedures performed on different days is reportedly similar to unilateral TKA. Nevertheless, in our anecdotal experience patients often report less satisfying outcomes following the second side. A cursory review of available literature tended to confirm that observation. We sought therefore to consolidate all of the available data on this issue to further investigate this phenomenon.
AIM To consolidate available published data revealing satisfaction scores among patients following staged bilateral TKA, and to evaluate the phenomenon of less satisfying results following TKA2.
METHODS A systematic review of available literature reporting on satisfaction with TKA1 and TKA2 after staged bilateral knee arthroplasty was undertaken using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase. From 427 records, five full-length articles met criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The data were then extracted and assessed on the basis of the Reference Citation Analysis (https://www.referencecitationanalysis.com/).
RESULTS A total of 1889 patients with an average age of 68 (range: 38–92) underwent staged bilateral TKA with outcomes reported at 1 year following each TKA with a mean 21.9 mo between surgeries (range: 2 d to 14.5 years). Overall satisfaction with both knees was 83.70% (1581) and dissatisfaction with both knees was 2.75% (52). In the remaining 13.56% (256) who were dissatisfied with one side, 61.0% were dissatisfied with TKA2, and 39.0% were dissatisfied with TKA1. Patient-reported outcome scores for TKA2 were frequently lower than TKA1 even in patients reporting overall satisfaction with both knees.
CONCLUSION At 1-year follow-up, there was a 50% greater risk of dissatisfaction with TKA2 among the 13.56% of patients reporting dissatisfaction in one knee after staged bilateral TKA. Whether the interval between procedures or long-term follow-up changes these results requires further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To develop a clinical practice guideline covering the assessment, management, and return to work of adults with rotator cuff disorders. DESIGN: Clinical practice guideline. METHODS: Using systematic reviews, appraisal of the literature, and an iterative approach to obtain consensus from key stakeholders, clinical recommendations and algorithms were developed in the context of the health care system and work environment of the province of Quebec (Canada). RESULTS: Recommendations (n = 73) and clinical decision algorithms (n = 3) were developed to match the objectives. The initial assessment should include the patient's history, a subjective assessment, and a physical examination. Diagnostic imaging is only necessary in select circumstances. Acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and injection therapies may be useful to reduce pain in the short term. Clinicians should prescribe an active and task-oriented rehabilitation program (exercises and education) to reduce pain and disability in adults with rotator cuff disorders. Subacromial decompression is not recommended to treat rotator cuff tendinopathy. Surgery is appropriate for selected patients with a full-thickness rotator cuff tear. A return-to-work plan should be developed early, in collaboration with the worker and other stakeholders, and must combine multiple strategies to promote return to work. CONCLUSION: This clinical practice guideline was developed to assist the multidisciplinary team of clinicians who provide health care for adults with a rotator cuff disorder. The CPG guides clinical decisionmaking for diagnosis and treatment, and planning for successful return to work. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2022;52(10):647-664.

Abstract
Background Rotator cuff repairs (RCRs) are one of the most commonly performed shoulder surgeries in the United States. Psychological health has been shown to influence postoperative outcomes in orthopedic procedures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between depression and anxiety (DA) and psychotropic medication and postoperative outcomes following RCR. Methods A single institution retrospective observational cohort study of 816 patients undergoing arthroscopic RCR from January 2014 to October 2020 was conducted. Univariate statistics were used to assess differences in demographics, operative characteristics, and postoperative outcomes; multivariate analysis was used to evaluate risk factors for postoperative complications. Results Patients with DA were more likely to have a higher first (3.60 vs. 3.00, P = .004) and last (1.23 vs. 0.96, P = .042) postoperative pain scores, lower first (18.67 vs. 21.85, P = .008) and last (61.87 vs. 64.71, P = .014) Upper Extremity Functional Score (UEFS), more likely to experience an emergency department visit postoperatively (9.1 vs. 5.0%, P = .028), have a symptomatic recurrent tear (8.2 vs. 3.3%, P = .003), and persistent pain (4.3 vs. 1.2%, P = .011). After controlling for age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, diabetes, smoking, coronary artery disease, asthma, hypertension, psychotropic medication and DA, having DA at the time of surgery was independently predictive of any complication (odds ratio, 2.033; P = .028) and persistent pain (odds ratio, 8.232; P ≤ .001). Patients with and without DA showed significant improvement in postoperative pain and UEFS from the first to the last measurement (P < .001). Conclusion DA is not a deterrent for RCR but targeted interventions may be needed to decrease the occurrence of complications.

Depression and Anxiety Are Associated With Worse Subjective and Functional Baseline Scores in Patients With Frozen Shoulder Contracture Syndrome: A Systematic Review. Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2022; 4:e1219-e1234.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate whether psychological factors, such as avoidance behavior, fear, pain catastrophization, kinesiophobia, anxiety, depression, optimism, and expectation are associated with different subjective and functional baseline scores in patients with frozen shoulder contracture syndrome (FSCS). Methods Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Cochrane Library (CENTRAL Database), PEDro, Pubpsych, and PsychNET.APA without restrictions applied to language, date, or status of publication. Two authors reviewed study titles, abstract, and full text based on the following inclusion criteria: adult population (≥ 30 < 70 years old) with FSCS. Results Seven hundred and seventy-six records were included by the search strategies. After title final screening, 6 studies were included for the qualitative synthesis. Psychological features investigated were anxiety, depression, pain-related fear, pain catastrophizing, and pain self-efficacy; reported outcomes included pain, function, disability, quality of life, and range of motion. Data suggest that anxiety and depression impact self-assessed function, pain, and quality of life. There is no consensus on the correlation between psychological variables and range of motion. Associations were suggested between pain-related fear, pain-related beliefs, and pain-related behavior and perceived arm function; pain-related conditions showed no significant correlation with range of motion and with perceived stiffness at baseline. Conclusion Scores traditionally thought to assess physical dimensions like shoulder pain, disability, and function seem to be influenced by psychological variables. In FSCS patients, depression and anxiety were associated with increased pain perception and decreased function and quality of life at baseline. Moreover, pain-related fear and catastrophizing seem to be associated with perceived arm function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychological distress is associated with disability and quality of life for patients with shoulder pain. However, uncertainty around heterogeneity of psychological distress has limited the adoption of shoulder care models that address psychological characteristics. In a cohort of patients with shoulder pain, our study sought to (1) describe the prevalence of various subtypes of psychological distress; (2) evaluate associations between psychological distress and self-reported shoulder pain, disability, and function; and (3) determine differences in psychological distress profiles between patients receiving nonoperative vs. operative treatment. METHODS The sample included 277 patients who were evaluated in clinic by a shoulder surgeon and completed the Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Yellow Flag Assessment Tool (OSPRO-YF) from 2019 to 2021. This tool categorizes maladaptive and adaptive psychological traits, and the number of yellow flags (YFs) ranges from 0 to 11, with higher YF counts indicating higher pain-related psychological distress. Operative and nonoperative cohorts were compared using χ2 test and Student t test. Linear regression was used to evaluate the association between pain, disability, and YFs, whereas Poisson regression evaluated the association between operative treatment and psychological distress. K-means cluster analysis was performed to propose potential psychological distress phenotypes. RESULTS Two hundred fifty-one patients (91%) had at least 1 YF on the OSPRO-YF tool, with a mean number of 6 ± 3.5 YFs. YFs in unhelpful coping (85%) and helpful coping domains (78%) were most prevalent. The number of YFs was significantly associated with baseline shoulder pain (P < .001), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (P < .001), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (P < .001) scores. Comparing operative and nonoperative cohorts, the operative cohort had a significantly higher mean number of YFs (6.5 vs. 5.6, P = .035), presence of any YF (94.3% vs. 85.7%, P = .015), and presence of YFs within the unhelpful coping domain (91.8% vs. 75.6%, P < .001). Three phenotypes were described, corresponding to low, moderate, and severe psychological distress (P < .001), with females (P = .037) and smokers (P = .018) associated with higher psychological distress phenotypes. CONCLUSIONS YFs, particularly within the unhelpful coping and helpful coping domains, were highly prevalent in a cohort of patients presenting to a shoulder surgeon's clinic. Additionally, operative patients were found to have a significantly higher rate of YFs across multiple dimensions of psychological distress. These findings stress the importance of routine attentiveness to multiple dimensions of pain-related psychological distress in shoulder populations, which can provide an opportunity to reinforce healthy interpretation of pain while minimizing distress in appropriately identified patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the elbow flexion and supination strengths and the functional outcomes of patients following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair combined with simultaneous biceps tenodesis. METHODS 19 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and biceps tenodesis with at least 24 months of follow-up were included. Patients were evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS) for bicipital groove pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and constant scores (CS), biceps apex distance (BAD), elbow flexion, and supination strengths. RESULTS The VAS for biceps groove measurement averages in the postoperative 6th, 12th, and 24th months was lower in comparison to preoperative data and was considered to be statistically significant (p < .05). The constant score, an average of all postoperative measurements and scores, was found to be higher than preoperative values and was considered to be statistically significant (p < .01). There was a significant difference in the operated and non-operated forearm supination and elbow flexion muscle strength measurements at the postoperative 3- and 6-month follow-ups (p < .01). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis into the anchors of the lateral row in combination with rotator cuff repair provides an increase in the strength of elbow flexion and forearm supination, while decreasing pain.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tears are a common condition of the shoulder, and 20.7% of people with the condition have a full-thickness rotator cuff tear. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears and to provide evidence to support the accurate diagnosis of full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Studies from PubMed, Embase and Web of Science published before 30 January 2021 were retrieved. All cohort studies and cross-sectional studies on risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears were included. A meta-analysis was performed in RevMan 5.3 to calculate the relative risks (RRs) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) of related risk factors. Stata 15.1 was used for the quantitative analysis of publication bias. In total, 11 articles from six countries, including 4047 cases, with 1518 cases and 2529 controls, were included. The meta-analysis showed that age (MD = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.24 to 1.28, P = 0.004), hypertension (RR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.81, P = 0.0007) and critical shoulder angle (CSA) (MD = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.55 to 2.48, P < 0.00001) were risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Our results also suggested that body mass index, sex, dominant hand, smoking, diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease were not risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears. Early identification of risk factors for full-thickness rotator cuff tears is helpful in identifying high-risk patients and choosing the appropriate treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the impact of clinical depression on outcomes after rotator cuff repair (RCR), as measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) health domains. METHODS RCR patients were given PROMIS CAT assessments for physical function (PROMIS UE), pain interference (PROMIS PI), and depression (PROMIS D) during preoperative and postoperative clinic visits. PROMIS D scores ≥55 correlate with mild clinical depression; thus patients with PROMIS D scores ≥ 55 were placed in the clinical depression (CD) group, whereas patients with scores <55 were placed in the "no clinical depression" (NCD) group. Categorical variables were compared at preoperative and postoperative (6 months and ≥1 year) timepoints using χ2 tests. Continuous variables were compared using Student's t-tests. RESULTS Of the 340 RCR patients included in this study, 65 (19.1%) were found to have mild clinical depression preoperatively, with that number being reduced to 23 (6.8%) at 6 months and 19 (5.6%) at ≥1 year after surgery. Compared with preoperative PROMIS scores, CD patients had significant postoperative improvements at 6 months and ≥1 year in mean PROMIS UE (26.7 vs 35.5 vs 38.9; P < .001) and PROMIS PI (67.6 vs 56.7 vs 56.4; P < .001). NCD patients had similar postoperative improvements at 6 months and ≥1 year in mean PROMIS UE (30.8 vs 38.6 vs 46.9; P < .001) and PROMIS PI (61.7 vs 53.0 vs 47.6; P < .001). The improvement in PROMIS scores was similar for the CD and NCD groups in both PROMIS UE (12.2 vs 16.1, respectively) and PROMIS PI (-11.2 vs -14.1, respectively). CONCLUSION Despite starting with worse PROMIS UE and PROMIS PI scores, patients undergoing RCR with symptoms of CD experienced significant improvement in function, pain, and depressive symptoms. Preoperative depression should not be a contraindication to arthroscopic RCR in patients who are otherwise appropriate operative candidates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative trial.

Abstract
Background: The pathogenesis of rotator cuff tears remains unclear, and there is a lack of high-quality evidence-based research on the risk factors for supraspinatus tears. Purpose: To explore 10 potential risk factors for supraspinatus muscle tears. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This review was conducted according to the MOOSE (Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines. PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies published before January 2021 on supraspinatus tears. The following potential risk factors were analyzed: age, body mass index, male sex, female sex, arm dominance, diabetes mellitus, smoking, hypertension, thyroid disease, and the critical shoulder angle (CSA). Risk ratios (RRs) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) of related risk were calculated. The Egger test was used to evaluate publication bias. Results: A total of 9 articles from 8 countries were included; among the 3240 patients, 687 were included in the supraspinatus tear group, and 2553 were included in the nonsupraspinatus tear group. The meta-analysis showed that older age (WMD, 3.36 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.53-6.20]; P = .02), male sex (RR, 0.87 [95% CI, 0.78-0.97]; P = .01), smoking (RR, 2.21 [95% CI, 1.56-3.14]; P < .00001), diabetes (RR, 1.67 [95% CI, 1.03-2.70]; P = .04), hypertension (RR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.16-1.97]; P = .002), and the CSA (WMD, 2.25 [95% CI, 1.39-3.12]; P < .00001) were risk factors for supraspinatus tears. Conclusion: Older age, male sex, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and a higher CSA were found to be risk factors for supraspinatus tears in this meta-analysis review. Identifying risk factors for supraspinatus tears early can help clinicians identify these high-risk patients and choose appropriate treatments.

Which Risk Factors Are Associated with Pain and Patient-reported Function in Patients with a Rotator Cuff Tear? Clin Orthop Relat Res 2021; 479:1982-1992. [PMID: 33835100 PMCID: PMC8373537 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000001750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported measures guide physicians in clinical decision making and therefore it is critical to determine what clinical factors are associated with these scores. Psychological and physical factors are commonly studied separately in patients with rotator cuff tears to determine their influence on outcomes. It is well established that psychological distress and scapular motion change in the presence of a symptomatic rotator cuff tear. However, these factors have not been studied simultaneously in a clinical setting to determine their association with shoulder outcome scores. QUESTION/PURPOSE After controlling for relevant confounding variables, what physical and psychological factors are associated with better (1) American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores for function, (2) ASES pain scores, and (3) total ASES scores? METHODS Fifty-nine patients with a potential symptomatic rotator cuff tear were recruited and agreed to participate in this cross-sectional study. Of those, 85% (50 of 59) met eligibility criteria for a primary diagnosis of an MRI-confirmed symptomatic partial-thickness or full-thickness rotator cuff tear without a history of shoulder surgery. Demographics, rotator cuff tear size, arm flexion, and clinical scapular motion during active arm flexion were evaluated by experienced examiners using standardized procedures. Patients completed the ASES questionnaire and the Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcomes-Yellow Flag assessment form, which measures 11 different pain-related psychological distress symptoms. Three separate stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were performed for ASES pain, function, and total scores, with significance set at p < 0.05. RESULTS This model found that ASES function scores were associated with four factors: older age, increased arm flexion, increased percentage of scapular external rotation during arm flexion, and increased scores for acceptance of chronic pain (adjusted r2 = 0.67; p = 0.01). Those four factors appear to explain 67% of the observed variance in ASES function scores in patients with rotator cuff tears. Furthermore, increased percentage of scapular external rotation during arm flexion and decreased fear-avoidance beliefs related to physical activity scores (adjusted r2 = 0.36; p < 0.01) were associated with better ASES pain scores. And finally, better ASES total scores were associated with four factors: increased arm flexion, increased percentage of scapular upward rotation, increased scapular external rotation during arm flexion, and decreased fear-avoidance beliefs related to physical activity scores (adjusted r2 = 0.65; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our results favor adopting a comprehensive biopsychological clinical assessment for patients with rotator cuff tears that specifically includes humeral and scapular motion, fear-avoidance behaviors, and pain coping behaviors along with demographics. These particular physical and psychological variables were found to be associated with the ASES and, therefore, should be clinically examined simultaneously and targeted as part of a tailored treatment plan. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, prognostic study.

Expression of Substance P and Nerve Growth Factor in Degenerative Long Head of Biceps Tendon in Patients with Painful Rotator Cuff Tear. J Pain Res 2021; 14:2481-2490. [PMID: 34429647 PMCID: PMC8379684 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s320811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Degenerative long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) has been recognized as a notable pain source in patients with rotator cuff tear (RCT). Tenotomy or tenodesis of LHBT is frequently indicated together with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) aiming for complete pain relief; however, it has not been fully investigated whether resected LHBT is really a source of pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate expression levels of pain-associated mediators in LHBT and its association with preoperative pain profiles. Methods Twenty-seven RCT patients who underwent ARCR with LHBT resection were included. Each LHBT was resected due to its abnormal arthroscopic findings including tenosynovitis, hypertrophy, and partial tear. Worst macroscopic lesion of the LHBT was obtained, and expression levels of substance P (SP) and nerve growth factor (NGF) were evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ten healthy knee flexor tendons were analyzed as non-degenerative samples. Preoperatively, subjective shoulder pain VAS and pain duration were investigated. Conventional LHBT pain provocation tests (Speed, Yergason, O’Brien) were performed. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) of bilateral LHBT on the groove was recorded. Results Levels of SP and NGF expression were significantly higher compared with non-degenerative tendons (P<0.01). Shoulder pain VAS and pain duration were not directly associated with SP and NGF expression level. Patients with positive O’Brien test expressed greater SP than negative patients (P=0.001). Significant negative correlation between the PPT ratio (ipsilateral/contralateral) and SP expression level was observed (r=−0.453, P=0.034). Conclusion Greater expression of SP and NGF in degenerative LHBT supported our hypothesis that it would be a pain source in RCT patients. SP was likely to be expressed highly in patients with localized pressure pain hypersensitivity and positive O’Brien test (ie, altered mechanistic pain profile of LHBT), which may help when considering simultaneous LHBT resection during ARCR.

Abstract
Background Comorbidities and socioeconomic issues impact outcome of rotator cuff tear (RCT) repair. There are no data on RCT repair outcome from developing regions. We determined the impact of obesity and smoking following RCT repair in a low-income population. Methods This is a retrospective case series. Forty-seven shoulders of 42 patients subjected to open or arthroscopic repair of a RCT with a minimum of 2 years follow-up were cross-sectionally evaluated. Patients were seen in the Orthopaedic Service of the Hospital Geral de Fortaleza-CE, Brazil between March and September 2018. RCT were classified as partial or full-thickness lesions. Fatty infiltration (Goutallier) and tendon retraction (Patte) were recorded as well as obesity (BMI > 30), literacy [>/≤ 8 school years (SY)] and smoking status 6 months prior to surgery (present/absent). Outcomes included pain (visual analogue scale; VAS, 0–10 cm), range of motion [active forward flexion and external rotation (ER)], UCLA and ASES scoring. Results Patients were 59.9 ± 7.4 years-old, 35(74.4%) female with 19 (17.1–30.2 IQR) median of months from diagnosis to surgery and 25 median months of follow-up (26.9–34.0 IQR); over 90% declared < 900.00 US$ monthly family income and two-thirds had ≤8 SY. Forty patients (85.1%) had full-thickness tears, 7 (14.9%) had Goutallier ≥3 and over 80% had < Patte III stage. Outcomes were similar regardless of fatty infiltration or tendon retraction staging. There were 17 (36.1%) smokers and 13 (27.6%) obese patients. Outcome was similar when comparing obese vs non-obese patients. Smokers had more pain (P = 0.043) and less ER (P = 0.029) with a trend towards worse UCLA and ASES scores as compared to non-smokers though differences did not achieve minimal clinically important difference (MCID) proposed for surgical RCT treatment. After adjusting for obesity, VAS and ER values in smokers were no longer significant (P = 0.2474 and 0.4872, respectively). Conclusions Our data document outcomes following RCT repair in a low-income population. Smoking status but not obesity impacted RCT repair outcome though not reaching MCID for surgical treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recent research shows that major levels of psychological distress correlate with higher pain and reduced function in patients with shoulder and rotator cuff pathology. A systematic review updating a review published in 2016 was conducted to determine the degree of consistency and the strength of association between psychosocial factors and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) in patients with rotator cuff repair (RCR) with new high-quality literature. METHODS The bibliographic searches were conducted from May to June 2020 within the following databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycINFO, and Web of Science. The articles included should discuss the association between psychosocial factors and outcomes in patients with documented or diagnosed rotator cuff tears through clinical and/or radiological examination. The Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) tool was used to assess the methodological quality. RESULTS Fifteen articles were included. Negative psychosocial factors were found consistently associated with worse function and disability in the pre- and post-operative period. In particular, psychosocial factors regarding emotional or mental health were associated with a weak to a substantial degree with preoperative and postoperative function/disability and pain intensity in patients undergoing RCR. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing repair of the rotator cuff tear, there was a correlation between poor psychological function before surgery and worsening post-surgical outcomes, such as persistence of postoperative pain intensity and worse levels of function/disability.

Abstract
Background Psychological factors may impact recovery in patients undergoing treatment for shoulder complaints. The aim of this review is to systematically analyse the evidence for the effect of modifiable psychological factors (MPF) on outcome, for patients with musculoskeletal shoulder disorders undergoing conservative or surgical treatment. MPF refers to factors that may change with intervention. Methods This is a systematic literature review. Five databases searched (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase and PsycInfo), for longitudinal studies investigating the influence of MPF on prognosis of patients with shoulder disorders, all diagnoses, undergoing clinical interventions (conservative or surgical). Level of evidence was determined using Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) methodology. Moderate and high quality evidence was included. We extracted all MPF, categorized constructs into the following domains: beliefs (self-efficacy, expectation of recovery), coping (catastrophizing, avoidant coping), and affect (depression, anxiety). We evaluated constructs for its predictive value of at least one outcome. Outcomes were informed by this review. Evidence was classified into three categories: evidence for, inconclusive evidence, and evidence against. Results Of 1170 references, 40 distinct publications based on 35 datasets were included (intervention type: 20 surgical; 20 conservative). Overall, 22 studies (20 cohort studies and 2 RCTs) were classified as high quality and 18 studies (16 cohort studies, 2 RCTs) were classified as moderate quality. Outcomes reported included pain, disability/function, perceived recovery, physical and mental health, and work status. Based on the review, of the psychological constructs explored, these data would suggest that expectation of recovery, catastrophizing, avoidant coping, depression, and anxiety may predict outcome for patients managed surgically. In patients undergoing conservative intervention the evidence was either against (catastrophizing, depression, anxiety) or inconclusive (self-efficacy, expectation of recovery, avoidant coping) for the predictive value of psychological factors on outcome. Conclusions Five constructs were predictive of outcome for surgically managed patients. This suggests that implementing the biopsychosocial approach (i.e., preoperative screening, intervention by a trained clinician) may be advantageous for patients recommended for shoulder surgery,,. The same is not indicated for conservatively managed patients as no conclusive association of MPF with outcomes was noted. The importance of other MPF on outcome requires further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) frequently present with coexisting psychosocial problems; however, whether this also associates with long-term outcome is currently unknown. We assessed whether psychosocial functioning in patients with SAPS is associated with persistence of complaints after 4 years of routine care. METHODS In a longitudinal study, 34 patients with SAPS were selected after clinical and radiologic evaluation and assessed at baseline and after 4 years. For the assessment of psychosocial functioning, the RAND-36 questionnaire domains of social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, mental health, vitality, and general health were evaluated. Complaint persistence at follow-up was assessed by (1) an anchor question (reduced, persistent, or increased symptoms), (2) change in pain (change in visual analog scale score), and (3) change in quality of life (change in Western Ontario Rotator Cuff index score). RESULTS Lower baseline mental health (odds ratio [OR], 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85-0.98; P = .013), vitality (OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.83-0.98; P = .011), and general health (OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.88-0.98; P = .009) were associated with persistent complaints as reported by the anchor question, change in visual analog scale score, and change in Western Ontario Rotator Cuff index score. CONCLUSIONS Evaluating psychosocial functioning parallel to physical complaints is currently not standard procedure in the treatment of SAPS. In this study, we showed that factors related to psychosocial functioning are associated with long-term persistence of complaints in SAPS. Future studies may investigate whether a multimodal treatment with assessment of psychosocial functioning may facilitate pain relief and recovery in SAPS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Factors affecting a rotator cuff symptomatic retear after arthroscopic repair have yet to be clearly identified, since they usually influence the surgical decisions. METHODS Consecutive patients with full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus who underwent arthroscopic repair were retrospectively analyzed. Cases of symptomatic retear, defined as Sugaya type IV and V on magnetic resonance imaging, associated with intensive pain and/or functional impairment were identified at follow-up. The patients with no symptomatic retear were selected as the control group. Information from potential risk factors of symptomatic retear, including depression and subacromial corticosteroid injections, was extracted from the medical records. The statistical analysis included multivariant logistic regression. RESULTS The symptomatic retear rate was 9.5% in 158 patients. Patients in the symptomatic retear group were more likely to be smoking, to have massive tears, a short acromiohumeral distance, and moderate to severe fatty infiltration. They also had had more frequently subacromial corticosteroid injections and depression. However, following the multiple logistic regression analysis, only massive tears and moderate to severe fatty infiltration remained significantly associated. Similarly, in relation to the study hypothesis, both corticosteroid injections (odds ratio [OR] 6.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.49, 29.81; P = .013) and depression (OR 8.26, IC 1.04, 65.62; P = .046) were significantly associated with symptomatic retear risk. CONCLUSIONS This study found support for the hypothesis that both depression and corticosteroid infiltration before surgery are independent risk factors for symptomatic retear after arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff.

Editorial Commentary: Mental Health Comorbidities Are Associated With Increased Cost, Opioid Use, and Inferior Outcomes After Shoulder Rotator Cuff Repair. Arthroscopy 2020; 36:2661-2663. [PMID: 33039040 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2020.07.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
In patients undergoing rotator cuff repair (RCR), patient comorbidities including mental health diagnoses of anxiety and depression are very common and are known to adversely affect surgical outcomes. This study highlights the complex interplay of mental health with other important considerations in outcomes following RCR, namely opioid use and health care costs. The extent to which we can mitigate opioid use and health care costs in patients with comorbid mental health disorders undergoing RCR remains unclear but worthy of concerted efforts to improve patient outcomes. Improving recognition of the role of mental health comorbidities in outcomes of RCR will be critical in future efforts to improve preoperative counseling and optimize perioperative management of patients electing RCR.

Increased Health Care Costs and Opioid Use in Patients with Anxiety and Depression Undergoing Rotator Cuff Repair. Arthroscopy 2020; 36:2655-2660. [PMID: 32497659 PMCID: PMC7554073 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2020.05.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2020] [Revised: 04/10/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To (1) quantify the prevalence of mood disorders in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) by use of a large claims database and (2) compare opioid use and medical costs in the year before and the year after RCR between patients with and without comorbid mood disorders. METHODS A large claims database was queried to identify patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR (Current Procedural Terminology code 29827) between October 2010 and December 2015. All patients were then screened for insurance claims relating to either anxiety or depression. We compared net costs and opioid use both 1 year preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively between patients with and without mood disorders by use of an analysis of covariance. RESULTS A total of 170,329 patients (97,427 male patients [57.2%] and 72,902 female patients [42.8%]) undergoing arthroscopic RCR were identified. Of the 170,329 patients, 46,737 (27.4%) had comorbid anxiety or depression, and after adjustment for preoperative cost, sex, age, and both preoperative and postoperative opioid use, the 1-year postoperative cost was 7.05% higher for those with a preoperative mood disorder than for those without a mood disorder. In addition, opioid use both in the 180 days prior to surgery (36.7% vs 26.9%) and more than 90 days after surgery (33.0% vs 27.2%) was substantially greater in the group with comorbid depression or anxiety. CONCLUSIONS In patients with comorbid mood disorders, opioid use and health care costs were increased both preoperatively and postoperatively. The increased cost in this patient population is estimated at $62.3 million annually. In an effort to provide high-quality, value-based care, treatment strategies should be developed to identify these patients preoperatively and provide the appropriate resources needed to improve the probability of a successful surgical outcome. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective, comparative therapeutic study.

The Relationship between Cognitive and Emotional Factors and Healthcare and Medication Use in People Experiencing Pain: A Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9082486. [PMID: 32756298 PMCID: PMC7464293 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9082486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Revised: 07/07/2020] [Accepted: 07/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Pain conditions are among the leading causes of global disability, impacting on global healthcare utilization (HCU). Health seeking behavior might be influenced by cognitive and emotional factors (CEF), which can be tackled by specific therapies. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the evidence concerning associations between CEF and HCU in people experiencing pain. Three databases were consulted: PubMed, Web of Science and EconLit. Risk of bias was assessed using the Downs and Black Checklist (modified). A total of 90 publications (total sample n = 59,719) was included after double-blind screening. In people experiencing pain, positive associations between general anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms and catastrophizing and pain medication use were found. Additionally, there appears to be a relationship between general anxiety and depressive symptoms and opioid use. Symptom-related anxiety and psychological distress were found to be positively related with consulting behavior. Last, a positive association between use of complementary and alternative medicine and level of perceived symptom control was confirmed in people with pain. For other relationships no evidence or inconsistent findings were found, or they were insufficiently studied to draw firm conclusions, indicating that more research on this topic is needed.

Tashjian RZ. Editorial Commentary: Doc, Is It All in My Head? With Rotator Cuff Tears, It Partially Is! Arthroscopy 2019; 35:2707-2708. [PMID: 31500759 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2019.05.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Psychosocial factors including anxiety, depression, and poor mental health negatively influence the baseline clinical expression of rotator cuff tearing. The same factors may influence clinical outcomes after rotator cuff repair surgery. Counseling patients preoperatively about postoperative expectations of rotator cuff repair surgery has a substantial positive impact on postoperative functional outcomes. As surgeons, we need to take the time to not just be technicians but counsel our patients and consider the impact of distress, anxiety, and expectations on the success of our treatments for rotator cuff tears.
