Trabecular microstructure and surface changes in the greater tuberosity in rotator cuff tears 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
OBJECTIVE: When planning surgery in patients with rotator cuff tear, strength of bone at the tendon insertion and trabecular bone structure in the greater tuberosity are usually taken into consideration. We investigated radiographic changes in bone structure of the greater tuberosity in rotator cuff tears. DESIGN: Twenty-two human cadaveric shoulders from subjects ranging from 55 to 75 years of age were obtained. The integrity of the rotator cuff was examined by sonography to determine if it is intact without any tear, or torn partially or completely. The humeral head was sectioned in 3 mm thick coronal slab sections and microradiographed. After digitization of the microradiographs and imaging processing with in-house semi-automated image processing software tools developed using software interfaces on a Sun workstation, the trabecular histomorphometrical structural parameters and connectivity in the greater tuberosity were quantified. The degenerative changes on the surface of the greater tuberosity were interpreted blindly by 2 independent readers. RESULTS: Among the 22 shoulder specimens, the rotator cuff was found intact in 10 shoulders, partially in 7 and fully torn in 5. Statistically significant loss in apparent trabecular bone volume fraction, number of trabecular nodes, and number of trabecular branches, and a statistically significant increase in apparent trabecular separation and number of trabecular free ends were found in the greater tuberosity of the shoulders with tears. The loss was greater in association with full tear than in partial tear. Thickening of the cortical margin of the enthesis, irregularity of its surface, and calcification beyond the tidemark were observed in 2 (20%) shoulders with intact rotator cuff, in 6 (86%) shoulders with partial tear, and in 5 (100%) shoulders with full tear. CONCLUSIONS: Rotator cuff tears are associated with degenerative changes on the bone surface and with disuse osteopenia of the greater tuberosity. Aging, degenerative enthesopathy of the supraspinatus tendon, and rotator cuff tears appear closely related. 相似文献

We examined the location of rotator cuff tears, associated labral injuries, and notches on the greater tuberosity of the humeral head in shoulders of throwing athletes. Arthroscopic findings (rotator cuff tear, labral condition, and greater tuberosity notch) as well as other factors (duration of playing baseball, range of motion, and joint laxity) of 61 baseball players were retrospectively studied. The presence of a greater tuberosity notch was also evaluated for by plain radiographs. Forty patients had articular-side partial rotator cuff tears, most of which occurred in the interval between the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. The existence of a rotator cuff tear was not related to the range of motion, joint laxity, the detachment of the superior glenoid labrum, or posterosuperior labral injury. Greater tuberosity notches were recognized in 38 shoulders by arthroscopy and most were detected on plain radiographs. The presence of a notch was significantly related to the existence of a rotator cuff tear, while the size of the notch was significantly related to the depth and width of the tear. The greater tuberosity notch seems to be one of the most important diagnostic indicators for a rotator cuff tear in throwing athletes. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of rotator cuff tendon tears treated by arthroscopic repair
with suture anchors. This prospective study included a cohort of 607 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator
cuff repair surgery. Most patients had a single-row type of repair using metal anchors. All patients were independently assessed
pre- and post-operatively utilizing the UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) scoring system with a minimum of 1 year
follow-up. Demographic and operative details were noted; including the patient age, workers compensation status, tear size,
type of repair performed, and concomitant procedures. The median UCLA score improved from 13 (0–28) to 35 (8–35) with a median
follow-up time of 46 months (12–105), P < 0.001. The majority of the patients (529) achieved good to excellent results. The results were found to be independent
of age, workers compensation status, tear size, type of repair performed and concomitant procedures. In conclusion, arthroscopic
rotator cuff repair, using metal anchors with dual sutures, in a single row, utilizing margin convergence sutures and performing
concomitant procedures when necessary, gave satisfactory results in 87% of patients. 相似文献

Objective To evaluate the sonographic findings of the rotator interval in patients with clinical evidence of adhesive capsulitis immediately prior to arthroscopy.Design and patients We prospectively compared 30 patients with clinically diagnosed adhesive capsulitis (20 females, 10 males, mean age 50 years) with a control population of 10 normal volunteers and 100 patients with a clinical suspicion of rotator cuff tears. Grey-scale and colour Doppler sonography of the rotator interval were used.Results Twenty-six patients (87%) demonstrated hypoechoic echotexture and increased vascularity within the rotator interval, all of whom had had symptoms for less than 1 year. Three patients had hypoechoic echotexture but no increase in vascularity, and one patient had a normal sonographic appearance. All patients were shown to have fibrovascular inflammatory soft-tissue changes in the rotator interval at arthroscopy commensurate with adhesive capsulitis. None of the volunteers or the patients with a clinical diagnosis of rotator cuff tear showed such changes.Conclusions Sonography can provide an early accurate diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis by assessing the rotator interval for hypoechoic vascular soft tissue. 相似文献

In five patients with clinical suspicion of spinal disease, MRI of the spine revealed unexpected aortic pathology explaining the symptoms. No significant intraspinal pathology was found on MRI. However, in one patient with clinical suspicion of spinal stenosis, an aortic occlusion was detected on MR images of the spine. The lower extremity ischaemia, caused by the occlusion, was responsible for the symptoms. In another patient a paravertebral haematoma from a ruptured aortic aneurysm resulted in spinal nerve compression, thought before MRI to be caused by a spinal tumour. In three patients aortic aneurysm or dissection resulted in spinal cord ischaemia with symptoms mimicking those of compressive spinal disease. Thus, if MRI of the spine does not provide an explanation for the patient's symptoms, examination of the aorta is recommended. 相似文献

In 11 patients with carpal bone cysts the course of the intraosseous lytic lesion could be followed over periods from 2 to 27 years. The cysts were found to develop from an area of sparse trabeculae of reduced mineral content to a well-defined cavity, in some instances surrounded by a sclerotic zone. In 2 instances the lytic process caused progressive destruction of the subchondral layers of the affected bone resulting in communication with the adjacent joint space. The findings support the theory that carpal bone cysts are intraosseous lesions probably caused by vascular disturbances from mechanical stress and repeated trauma. The term intraosseous ganglion is a misnomer and should be avoided. 相似文献

Cystic changes at supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendon insertion sites: association with age and rotator cuff disorders in 238 patients 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
PURPOSE: To retrospectively determine the frequency of posterior and anterior cystic abnormalities at rotator cuff insertion site on the greater tuberosity and to determine their relationship to patient age and rotator cuff disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional review board approval was given; informed consent was waived. The study was HIPAA compliant. In 238 patients with rotator cuff diagnoses at surgery, preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies were reviewed to localize osseous cystic changes as anterior (supraspinatus insertion site) or posterior (infraspinatus insertion site) on the greater tuberosity. If rotator cuff tear was present, tendon retraction and location of partial tear (articular or bursal surface) were recorded. Two radiologists reached conclusions by consensus. Locations of cysts were correlated to surgical cuff diagnoses: no tear, tendinopathy, partial-thickness tear, and complete tear. Prospective interpretations from original MR reports were compared with surgical results. Statistical analyses included one-way analysis of variance, chi(2), Fisher exact, and Student t tests, as well as logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve comparison. RESULTS: There were 238 consecutive patients (150 men, 88 women; mean age, 43 years). Cysts were located at or near footprint of cuff tendon and demonstrated fluid or soft-tissue signal intensities. Posterior cysts occurred in 56.7% of shoulders and showed no statistical correlation to age or cuff diagnosis. Anterior cysts occurred in 22.7% of shoulders and were strongly associated with cuff disorders (P<.001). Controlling for cuff disorders, there was no relationship between anterior cysts and age (P>.50). Anterior cysts were more common in partial-thickness articular (48%) than in bursal (13%) tears (P<.001). CONCLUSION: Posterior cysts were more common than anterior cysts and showed nearly random distribution among patients, regardless of age and cuff diagnosis. Anterior cysts were closely associated with cuff disorders. 相似文献

Purpose
To investigate the effectiveness of isolated eccentric versus conventional exercise therapy in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.Methods
Thirty-six patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy, diagnosed by an orthopaedic surgeon, were included and randomly allocated to an isolated eccentric exercise (EE) group (n = 20, mean age = 50.2 ± 10.8 years) or a conventional exercise (CG) group (n = 16, mean age = 48.6 ± 12.3 years). Both groups fulfilled a 12-week daily home-based exercise programme and received a total amount of nine treatment sessions. The Constant Murley score was used to evaluate both objective (e.g. range of motion and strength) and subjective measures (e.g. pain and activities of daily living). A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain during daily activities. As secondary outcomes, shoulder range of motion and isometric abduction strength in 45° in the scapular plane were evaluated. All measurements were taken at baseline, at 6, 12 and 26 weeks.Results
After 26 weeks, both groups showed a significant increase in the Constant Murley score and a significant decrease in VAS scores. No difference was found between the groups, for any of the evaluated outcome measures.Conclusion
A 12-week-isolated eccentric training programme of the rotator cuff is beneficial for shoulder function and pain after 26 weeks in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. However, it is no more beneficial than a conventional exercise programme for the rotator cuff and scapular muscles. Based on the results, clinicians should take into account that performing two eccentric exercises twice a day is as effective as performing six concentric/eccentric exercises once a day in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.12.
Purpose To describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearances of tears of the deltoid muscle and tendon in patients with rotator
cuff tears and without a prior history of shoulder surgery.
Materials and methods Deltoid tears diagnosed on MR examinations were prospectively recorded between February 2003 through June 2004. The images
of these patients were then retrospectively reviewed to determine the location of the deltoid tear, the presence of rotator
cuff tears, tendon retraction, muscle atrophy, degree of humeral head subluxation, bony erosive changes involving the undersurface
of the acromion, and the presence of edema or fluid-like signal intensity in the deltoid muscle and overlying subcutaneous
tissues.
Results There were 24 (0.3%) patients with deltoid tears; nine men and 15 women. The age range was 54 to 87 (average 73) years. The
right side was involved in 20 cases, and the left in four cases. Fifteen patients had full thickness and nine had partial
thickness tears of the deltoid. Shoulder pain was the most common presenting symptom. The physical examination revealed a
defect in the region of the deltoid in two patients. Nineteen patients had tears in the muscle belly near the musculotendinous
junction, and five had avulsion of the tendon from the acromial origin. Full thickness rotator cuff tears were present in
all of the patients, and 22 patients had associated muscle atrophy. Subcutaneous edema and fluid-like signal was present in
15 patients.
Conclusion Tears of the deltoid muscle or tendon is an unusual finding, but they can be seen in patients with chronic massive rotator
cuff tears. Partial thickness tears tend to involve the undersurface of the deltoid muscle and tendon. Associated findings
such as intramuscular cyst or ganglion in the deltoid muscle belly and subcutaneous edema or fluid-like signal overlying the
deltoid in a patient with a rotator cuff tear should raise the suspicion of a deltoid tear. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate shoulder activity level in preoperative assessment of shoulder function and health-related
quality of life (QoL) for patients with rotator cuff tears. One hundred and six patients with rotator cuff tears were prospectively
evaluated using the following outcome instruments: the Shoulder Activity scale, the Constant scale, the Simple Shoulder Test,
and the Short Form-36v2 (SF-36v2). Clinical and structural data, including patients’ demographics, comorbidities, duration
of symptoms, shoulder contracture, and tear size, were collected and analyzed. We determined that the shoulder activity level
was associated with gender, medical comorbidities, and age. Females had lower activity level, worse scores for health-related
QoL, and longer duration of symptoms than males. Patients who had severe comorbidities had lower shoulder activity scores
and worse SF-36v2 scores compared to patients who did not have such comorbidities. The patient age correlated with the shoulder
activity level, but did not have significant correlation with the duration of symptoms and shoulder function. The shoulder
activity level was related to patient gender, general health status and age; therefore, further investigation is warranted
to determine if the activity level can be used as a prognostic variable relating to outcome in the treatment of rotator cuff
tears. 相似文献

Ideally, an outcome instrument measures phenomena that are directly relevant to the patient and provides a comprehensive assessment of the impact of a condition on the patient's daily life. During the past decades, several rating scales have been developed to assess the functional status of patients with shoulder pain. Several scoring systems are currently available for the evaluation of patients with rotator cuff pathology. Each of them evaluates shoulder function using specific variables. The main features of these scoring systems are presented in this review. Although many scoring systems are commonly used to evaluate shoulder function, we are still far from a single outcome evaluation system, which is reliable, valid, and sensitive to clinically relevant changes, takes into account both patient's and physician's perspective, and is short and practical to use. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo assess MRI appearance of the dermal allograft and its correlation with clinical outcome following superior capsular reconstruction (SCR).Materials and methodsThis is a retrospective study of patients who underwent SCR between 2015 and 2018. Patients with postoperative MRI and clinical follow-up were included. Exclusion criteria were preoperative shoulder instability, advanced glenohumeral arthritis, and lack of postoperative MRI or clinical follow-up. Radiographs and MRIs were evaluated for graft integrity and position, acromiohumeral interval, superior subluxation distance (SSD), and glenohumeral cartilage loss. Correlation between imaging and clinical outcome measures were assessed.Results24 shoulders (23 patients) met the inclusion criteria at a mean clinical and MRI follow-up of 9.1 months. There were 12 intact grafts (50%) and 12 torn grafts (50%), most commonly at the glenoid attachment (8/12). Patients with graft tear had greater SSD (mean 10.5 ± 6.1 mm) than those without tear (mean 6.1 ± 3.8 mm) (p = 0.028). SSD > 7.9 mm had a 79% sensitivity and 91% specificity for graft tear. The intact grafts were more commonly covering the superior humeral head (91.7%) compared with the torn grafts (41.7%) (p = 0.027). There was improvement of clinical outcome measures including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (p = 0.005) and forward elevation (p = 0.021) although there was no correlation between clinical outcome and integrity of the graft.ConclusionSCR results in significant short-term clinical improvement even in the presence of graft tear on postoperative MRIs on current study. Gap between graft and the anchors, non-superior position of the graft, and humeral head superior subluxation can be associated with tear. 相似文献

Objectives
Knowledge on the epidemiology and long-term course of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis (RCCT) is scarce. We assessed demographics, radiological characteristics, and their association with long-term outcomes in a large patient group.Methods
Baseline demographics, radiological characteristics and treatment were recorded in 342 patients. Interobserver agreement of radiological measures was analyzed. Long-term outcome was evaluated with questionnaires (WORC, DASH). The association of baseline characteristics with outcome was assessed.Results
Mean age was 49.0 (SD?=?10.0), and 59.5 % were female. The dominant arm was affected in 66.0 %, and 21.3 % had bilateral disease. Calcifications were on average 18.7 mm (SD?=?10.1, ICC?=?0.84 (p?<?0.001)) and located 10.1 mm (SD?=?11.8) medially to the acromion (ICC?=?0.77 (p?<?0.001)). Gärtner type I calcifications were found in 32.1 % (Kappa?=?0.47 (p?<?0.001)). After 14 years (SD?=?7.1) of follow-up, median WORC was 72.5 (range, 3.0-100.0; WORC?<?60 in 42 %) and median DASH 17.0 (range, 0.0-82.0). Female gender, dominant arm involvement, bilateral disease, longer duration of symptoms, and multiple calcifications were associated with inferior WORC. DASH results were similar.Conclusions
Many subjects have persisting shoulder complaints years after diagnosis, regardless of treatment. Female gender, dominant arm involvement, bilateral disease, longer duration of symptoms, and multiple calcifications were associated with inferior outcome. Radiological measures had moderate-to-good reliability and no prognostic value.Key Points
? Most RCCT studies report on short-term outcome and/or small patients groups. ? In this large, long-term observational study, RCCT appeared to not be self-limiting in many subjects. ? Negative prognostic factors included female gender, more calcifications, dominant arm affected, and longer duration of symptoms. ? Interobserver agreement of general radiological RCCT measures is moderate to good. ? More rigorous diagnostics and treatment might be needed in specific RCCT cases.17.

Purpose
The aims of this study were to obtain an overview of the methodological quality of studies on the measurement properties of rotator cuff questionnaires and to describe how well various aspects of the design and statistical analyses of studies on measurement properties are performed.Methods
A systematic review of published studies on the measurement properties of rotator cuff questionnaires was performed. Two investigators independently rated the quality of the studies using the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments checklist. This checklist was developed in an international Delphi consensus study.Results
Sixteen studies were included, in which two measurement instruments were evaluated, namely the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index and the Rotator Cuff Quality-of-Life Measure. The methodological quality of the included studies was adequate on some properties (construct validity, reliability, responsiveness, internal consistency, and translation) but need to be improved on other aspects. The most important methodological aspects that need to be developed are as follows: measurement error, content validity, structural validity, cross-cultural validity, criterion validity, and interpretability.Conclusion
Considering the importance of adequate measurement properties, it is concluded that, in the field of rotator cuff pathology, there is room for improvement in the methodological quality of studies measurement properties.Level of evidence

Structural changes of the substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease as revealed by MR imaging 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The possibility of using MR imaging as a sensitive marker of the structural changes in Parkinson's disease has been a long-sought goal. We describe a new method for imaging and quantifying the morphologic changes of the substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease and compare radiologic findings with clinical evaluation. METHODS: Using a combination of two MR imaging inversion-recovery pulse sequences, the substantia nigra was imaged in six patients with Parkinson's disease and six age-related control participants. A radiologic index was defined and used to quantify the signal changes that were observed in the patients. The radiologic index was compared with clinical scores obtained from the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. RESULTS: The images showed loss of signal in a lateral-to-medial gradient in cases of Parkinson's disease, corresponding to the known neuropathologic pattern of degeneration. The radiologic index was highly correlated with the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale score, and there was no overlap in radiologic indices between the patient and the control groups (P < .00005). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that MR imaging is sensitive to structural changes in even the earliest cases of Parkinson's disease, thereby indicating the potential for detecting presymptomatic disease. Furthermore, a radiologic measure has been defined that correlates with the conventional clinical measure of disease severity. Therefore, MR imaging could prove to be a sensitive biological marker for objective staging of the disease. 相似文献

The coracoacromial ligament (CAL) plays an important role in the pathoetiology of the subacromial impingement syndrome especially in those patients who do not have bony abnormalities. A total of 40 shoulders were dissected to determine the anatomical and biomechanical properties of the CAL in shoulders with either intact rotator cuffs or rotator cuff disease, taken from cadavers of persons who were of various ages at death. The specimens from cadavers with rotator cuff degeneration had a shorter lateral and medial band of the CAL than those of the specimens taken from shoulders with intact rotator cuffs. The cross-sectional area of the lateral band was also enlarged in older specimens with rotator cuff degeneration. Analysis of the structural properties showed a higher load to failure and a higher stiffness in the younger than in older specimens. In material properties, there was a higher failure stress in specimens with normal rotator cuffs than in the specimens with rotator cuff disease but only in older specimens. The decreased material properties in older specimens with rotator cuff disease may be caused by the previously reported histological differences with tissue disorganization and a lack of parallel bundle orientation associated with rotator cuff disease. 相似文献
