The acromion and rotator cuff tears and impingement - JSES

A recent article in the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery explored the reliability of the radiographic interpretation of the acromial shape as well as the associations of acromial morphology with the presence of rotator cuff tears in asymptomatic patients. The authors found poor agreement among three observers on the acromial type (I, II or III). Neither the acromial type nor the acromial index were statistically associated with the presence of a rotator cuff tear. The presence of an acromial spur was strongly associated with the presence of a cuff tear, but the authors were careful to point out that this association demonstrated causation (which is the chicken and which is the egg) or that 'impingement' was the common mechanism for rotator cuff failure.  Read more...

Trends in Rotator Cuff Repair - JBJS

The February 2012 issue of the JBJS presents "National Trends in Rotator Cuff Repair" points to a 600% increase in the unadjusted number of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs and a 34% increase in the number of open cuff repairs in the decade from 1996 to 2006. The adjusted rate increases were 530% and 21% respectively. In their discussion the authors note that recent studies have failed to demonstrate a difference in functional outcome or complications between arthroscopic and open repairs and that arthroscopic repair has a 'steep learning curve'.  Read More...

New GIRD and baseball throwing article by Ben Kibler, MD

Ben Kibler, MD and Aaron Sciascia, ATC, PES have published a new article in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research discussing Glenohurmeral Internal Rotational Deficit and throwing.

It can be found at http://www.springerlink.com/content/0q3u45520681u275/

Abstract

Background

Glenohumeral internal rotation (GIR) and total arc of motion (TAM) decrease, whereas external rotation (GER) may increase in throwing. Although decreased GIR has been documented after throwing, its time course for recovery and the effect of pitching role have not.

Questions/purposes

We therefore asked (1) how much rotational change occurs after a single throwing episode; (2) do these changes return to baseline by the next throwing episode; and (3) does pitching role affect the amount of change that occurs?

Methods

Forty-five pitchers, starters and relievers, were examined. GIR and GER measurements were taken at five time points (TP): before throwing (TP1); immediately after throwing (TP2); and 24 (TP3), 48 (TP4), and 72 (TP5) hours later. TAM was calculated as the combination of GIR and GER.

Results

GIR decreased from TP1 to TP5 and did not return to baseline. GER changed very little and TAM decreased at TP5. Relievers had greater GIR, GER, and TAM across all time points, but the amount of change over all time points was not different between groups.

Conclusions

GIR was most affected over one 4-day throwing cycle after an acute throwing episode and was less than baseline 72 hours later. Pitching role did not affect the short-term changes.

Clinical Relevance

GIR changes should be expected after an acute throwing episode and conditioning and recovery programs should be used to modify the changes. Because GIR is dynamic, studies on GIR should specifically state when during the pitching cycle the measurement was obtained.
