Which Factors Are Associated With Rerupture After Superior Capsular Reconstruction of the Shoulder With Autologous Long Biceps Tendon? - A Systematic Review.
Zeitschrift Für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie 2023 November 16
Based on a systematic review, the present work analyses factors associated with the rerupture rate or non-healing after superior capsular reconstruction with autologous long biceps tendon in the reconstruction of the rotator cuff of the shoulder.A systematic review of the U.S. National Library of Medicine/National Institutes of Health (PubMed) database and the Cochrane Library was conducted in September 2021 using the PRISMA checklist. Articles were identified and analysed that contained data on the rerupture rate after superior capsular reconstruction with autologous long biceps tendon in reconstruction of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. The aim was to identify factors associated with rerupture or non-healing. The risk of bias was determined using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.Primarily 86 hits could be generated. Seven articles from 2020 and 2021 met the inclusion criteria and were further analysed in terms of content. The evidence level was III to IV. Follow-up was between 12 (minimum) and 24 to 48 months. The risk of bias was not low. Factors that may be associated with rerupture or non-healing are diabetes mellitus and high-grade fatty degeneration of the subscapularis, infraspinatus, or teres minor as preoperative factors. Age, percent footprint coverage, tear size, symptom duration, number of bundles, acromioplasty performed, and tear configuration were not significant factors. Gender, degree of fatty degeneration of the supraspinatus and lesions of the subscapularis tendon were rated differently.According to the literature, but still currently with short-term observation periods, superior capsular reconstruction with an autologous long biceps tendon is another treatment option in the case of massive tears and elderly patients, if there is no high-grade fatty degeneration of the subscapularis, infraspinatus or teres minor. Diabetes mellitus has an unfavorable prognosis. Additional acromioplasty has so far not been associated with better outcomes.
