Abstract

Acromion process fractures are as rare to happen and even rare to be treated surgically. Acromion acts as a stabilizer of shoulder joint through a number of ligaments and muscles attached to it. Although most of the acromion fractures are treated conservatively which may either be due to surgeon preference or lack of sufficient training in surgically treating these fractures. Our case is of a 54 years old, Male who presented to us after being referred from other hospital with Type II acromion process fracture who was treated surgically after the fracture was fixed by the unconventional distal end radius plate in place of usually used clavicular or recon plates. The patient yielded excellent Oxford shoulder score in the subsequent follow ups. Although the acromion fractures are not fixed by most of the surgeons and if at all they are fixed they usually use the conventional plates as mentioned for its fixation, but our case shows that even the distal radius plates can be used as a fixation device in such fractures with excellent rehabilitation results and almost no complications.

Abstract

Background: Treatment of massive rotator cuff (RC) tears can result in re-rupture rates up to 94%, and some studies have detected re-ruptures occurring 3.5 years postoperatively. This study aimed to compare long-term clinical outcomes, measured at two time points, after massive RC tears with patch augmentation.

Methods: We performed 58 arthroscopic RC reconstructions augmented with a synthetic polyester patch between 2012 and 2014. 50 patients were available for long-term follow-up one and five years after surgery. We compared clinical outcomes (Constant-Murley score (CS) and subjective shoulder value (SSV)) to assess if the results were sustained over time.

Results: 86% (50/58) of the patients were assessed at the one- and five-year follow-up visits. The median CS one year postoperative reached 84 (interquartile range 76.5-90), and SSV was 95 (IQR 82.5-100). The median CS five years after surgery was 85 (IQR 81.5-91.5) and SSV was 95 (IQR 85-100). The clinical improvement between postoperative years one and five was statistically significant for CS (p=0.0013) and SSV (p<0.0001).

Conclusions: Rotator cuff repair with polyester patch augmentation achieved good clinical outcomes over the long term. Clinical improvement continued over time, with slightly more favorable results measured at the five-year follow-up visits.
