Preoperative Opioid Education has No Effect on Opioid Use in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial
OBJECTIVES/OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to determine whether a preoperative video-based opioid education reduced narcotics consumption after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in opioid-naive patients. METHODS:This was a single-center randomized controlled trial. Preoperatively, the control group received our institution's standard of care for pain management education, whereas the experimental group watched an educational video on the use of opioids. Patients were discharged with 30 × 5 mg/325 mg oxycodone-acetaminophen prescribed: 1 to 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours. They were contacted daily and asked to report opioid use and visual analog scale pain. A chart review at 3 months post-op was used to analyze for opioid refills. RESULTS:A total of 130 patients completed the study (65 control and 65 experimental). No statistically significant differences were noted in patient demographics between groups (P > 0.05). Patients in the education group did not use a statistically significant different number of narcotics than the control group throughout the first postoperative week (14.0 pills experimental versus 13.7 pills control, P = 0.60). No statistically significant differences were noted between groups at follow-regarding the rate of prescription refills (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION/CONCLUSIONS:This study suggests that preoperative video-based opioid education may have no effect on reducing the number of narcotic pills consumed after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. CLINICAL RELEVANCE/CONCLUSIONS:Data exist to suggest that preoperative video-based opioid education has an effect on postoperative consumption; however, the effect of this education in the setting of already-limited opioid-prescribing is not known.

Outcomes following medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with allograft [Meeting Abstract]
Objectives: Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) using allograft tissue has several potential benefits including the absence of donor site morbidity, ability to predict graft parameters, and decreased operative time. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients following MPFLR with allograft. Our hypothesis was that there would be a low rate of recurrent instability, and excellent clinical outcomes reported.
Method(s): A retrospective review of athletes who underwent MPFL Reconstruction, with a minimum of 12-month follow-up was performed. Recurrent instability (including re-dislocation and subluxation), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, Kujala score, satisfaction, and whether they would undergo the same surgery again, were evaluated.
Result(s): Overall, follow up was attained for 131 patients with 141 knees (73.4%). The mean patient age of 25.0 years, 67.4% females, and mean time to follow-up was 46.8 months (12-111). At final follow up, the mean VAS score was 1.4 +/- 2.0, the mean Kujala score was 84.8 +/- 15.6, the mean satisfaction score was 84% +/- 26.0, and 117 (83.0%) would undergo the same procedure again if required. There was 17 (12.0%) patients that had recurrent instability, with 2 being re-dislocations (1.4%). A further procedure was performed in 14 patients (9.9%). There were no intra-operative complications in our series.
Conclusion(s): There was a low rate of recurrent instability following MPFLR with allograft, with excellent patient reported outcomes, and a low complication rate

Tranexamic acid has no effect on post-operative hemarthrosis or pain control following ACL reconstruction using bone patella tendon bone autograft: A double-blind randomized controlled double-blind trial [Meeting Abstract]
Objectives: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a commonly used medication in orthopaedic procedures, reducing perioperative bleeding and need for transfusion. The purpose of this double-blind randomized controlled study was to evaluate if IV TXA for primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with bone-patella tendon-bone (BTB) could reduce perioperative blood loss or postoperative intra-articular hemarthrosis without postoperative drains.
Method(s): A controlled, randomized, double-blinded trial was conducted in 110 patients who underwent ACLR with BTB autograft. Patients were equally randomized to the control and experimental groups. The experimental group received two 1-gram boluses of IV TXA, one prior to tourniquet inflation and one prior to wound closure; the control group did not receive TXA. If a clinically significant hemarthrosis was evident, the knee was aspirated, and the volume of blood (ml) was recorded. Additionally, perioperative blood loss (ml); Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on postoperative days (POD) 1-7 and post-operative weeks (POW) 1, 6 and 12; postoperative opioid consumption POD 1-7; range of motion (ROM) and ability to straight leg raise (SLR) at POW 1, 6, 12; and pre and postoperative thigh circumference ratio (TCR).
Result(s): There was no significant difference in perioperative blood loss between the experimental and control groups (32.5ml v. 35.6ml, p=0.47). The experimental group had 23 knees aspirated; control group had 26 knees aspirated (p=0.56). No significant difference seen in postoperative hemarthrosis volume with IV TXA (26.7ml v. 37.3ml, p=0.12). There was no significant difference in VAS score between the two groups (p=0.15), additionally, there was no difference in postoperative opioid consumption (p=0.33). There was no significant difference in ROM or ability to SLR, or pre- nor post-operative TCR (p > 0.05 for all).
Conclusion(s): IV TXA in patients who undergo ACLR with BTB autograft does not significantly impact perioperative blood loss, postoperative hemarthrosis, or postoperative pain levels. Additionally, no significant differences were seen in early post-operative recovery regarding ROM or quadriceps reactivation

Open subpectoral biceps tenodesis versus arthroscopic repair for slap tears in patients under 30 [Meeting Abstract]
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of mini-open subpectoral biceps tenodesis (BT) to arthroscopic repair (AR) for SLAP tears in patients under 30.
Method(s): A retrospective review of patients who underwent either isolated BT or AR for the diagnosis of a SLAP tear was performed. Patients with a follow-up duration of <24 months were excluded. The American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), patient satisfaction, willingness to undergo surgery again, revisions, and return to work/sport were evaluated. A p value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Result(s): Our study included 103 patients in total; 29 patients were treated with BT, and 74 were treated with AR. The mean age was 24.8 years, 79.4% were male, and the mean follow-up duration was 60 months. At final follow up, there was no difference between treatment groups in any of the functional outcome measures assessed (p > 0.05). Overall, there was no significant difference in the total rate of RTP (BT: 76.3%, AR: 85%; p = 0.53), timing of RTP (BT: 8.8 months, AR: 9.4 months; p = 0.61), and total rate of RTP among overhead athletes (BT: 84.2%, AR: 83.3%; p = 1). However, there was a significantly lower rate of revision surgery with BT (0%) as compared to AR (14.1%; p = 0.03).
Conclusion(s): In patients under the age of 30 with isolated SLAP tear pathology, BT is a reliable alternative to AR, with a low rate of revision surgery, and excellent patient reported outcomes

Superior-labrum anterior-posterior return to sport index (SLAP-RSI) score to quantify psychological readiness to return to play [Meeting Abstract]
Objectives: Superior-labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) tears are common among athletic populations and may require surgical treatment. Return to play post-operatively may be complicated by a number of factors, including psychological readiness to return. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of the SLAP Return to Sport Index (SLAP-RSI) score to quantify psychological readiness to return to play following operative management of SLAP tears.
Method(s): A retrospective review of athletes who underwent operative management of SLAP tears with a minimum of 12-month follow-up was performed. Patients were evaluated for their psychological readiness to return to sport using the SLAP-RSI score. The SLAP-RSI score was created by adapting the terms in the Anterior (ACL-RSI score) with terms related to SLAP tears. A SLAP-RSI score > 56 is considered a passing score for being psychologically ready to return to play.
Result(s): The study included 174 athletes who underwent operative management of SLAP tears. Overall, 73.5% percent of patients were able to return to play, and the mean SLAP-RSI score in this cohort was 74.1+/-20.9, as compared to 46.7+/-27.7 in those who were unable to return (p<0.0001). Of those who returned, 82.1% passed the SLAP-RSI benchmark of 56, while of those who did not return, 33.3% passed the SLAP-RSI benchmark of 56. Additionally, a significant difference was found in each component of the SLAP-RSI score between the two cohorts (p<0.05). No individual component of the SLAP-RSI score was below 56 in patients who were able to return to play, while none was above 56 in those who were unable to return. Among patients who were unable to return, ones who cited lifestyle reasons had a higher SLAP-RSI score (77.4 +/- 21.8) than those who cited residual pain (28.2 +/- 15.1) or fear of re-injury (42.6 +/- 23.6) (p<0.0001).
Conclusion(s): Following the operative management of SLAP repair, patients that are unable to return to play exhibit poor psychological readiness to return which may be due to residual pain or fear of re-injury

The impact of socioeconomic factors on outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [Meeting Abstract]
Objectives: Socioeconomic factors have been shown to impact patient care in many surgical fields; however, their effects have not been thoroughly evaluated in the context of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of socioeconomic factors on time to surgery, knee function, and subjective outcomes measures following ACLR.
Method(s): A retrospective query of primary ACLR surgeries at a single institution performed from 2011 to 2015 with minimum twoyear follow-up was conducted. Patient demographics, insurance type, worker's compensation status, surgical variables, IKDC score, and failure were recorded from chart review. Education level and income were obtained via phone interview. Differences between functional outcome were compared between Medicaid and non-Medicaid groups.
Result(s): 268 patients were included in the analysis (43 patients in the Medicaid group and 225 patients in the non-Medicaid group). The Medicaid group demonstrated lower annual income (p<0.01) and a lower level of completed education compared to the non- Medicaid group (p<0.01). Medicaid patients had a greater duration between time of initial knee injury and surgery compared to the non-Medicaid group (11.8 +/- 16.3 months versus 6.1 +/- 16.5 months, p = 0.04). At the time of follow-up, patients in the non- Medicaid group had a significantly greater IKDC score compared to Medicaid patients (82.5 +/- 13.8 versus 75.3 +/- 20.8, p = 0.03).
Conclusion(s): Socioeconomic factors impacted care in the setting of ACL injury. Medicaid insurance patients were seen significantly later after initial injury when compared to non-Medicaid carriers, and had worse outcomes compared to their non-Medicaid peers. Higher annual income brackets had significantly higher clinical outcomes scores at a minimum of two years postoperatively. Education level did not affect outcomes

High Return to Sport in Patients Over 45 Years of Age Undergoing Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Isolated Chondral Defects in the Knee
OBJECTIVE/UNASSIGNED:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of osteochondral allograft (OCA) in patients older than 45 years of age, particularly with respect to return to sport. DESIGN/UNASSIGNED:A retrospective review was performed to evaluate patients greater than 45 who underwent an OCA for a symptomatic osteochondral defect of the knee between June 2011 and January 2019. RESULTS/UNASSIGNED:< 0.01). Furthermore, the mean Visual Analogue Scale while playing sport was 3.4 ± 3.2, and the mean Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score was 77.5 ± 12.7 at final follow-up. Overall, 11 patients (78.6%) were able to return to their desired sport. No clinical failures were identified during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION/UNASSIGNED:In our series of patients 45 years and older who were treated with OCA for focal osteochondral injuries of the knee, we found a significant improvement in clinical outcome scores at a midterm follow-up of 37 months with no revision OCA procedures or conversion to any form of knee arthroplasty. In addition, a high percentage of patients were able to return to their preferred level of athletic activity.

The efficacy of intra-articular injections in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease characterized by progressive loss of articular cartilage. Intra-articular injections are a mainstay of nonoperative treatment, however, there is controversy as to the optimal injectable for these patients. The purpose of the current study is to perform a network meta-analysis of the randomized control trials in the literature to ascertain whether there is a superior injectable nonoperative treatment for knee OA. METHODS:The literature search was conducted based on the PRISMA guidelines. Randomized control trials (RCTs) evaluating intra-articular injectables in osteoarthritic knees were included. Data was extracted and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, where available were analyzed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Clinical outcomes were compared using a frequentist approach to network meta-analysis, with statistical analysis performed using R. The treatment options were ranked using the P-Score. RESULTS:Seventy-nine RCTs with 8761 patients were included in this review. Intra-articular injectables evaluated included autologous conditioned serum (ACS), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), botulinum toxin, corticosteroids (CS), hyaluronic acid (HA), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), ozone, saline placebo, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF), and stromal vascular fraction (SVF). At 4-6 weeks and 3 months of follow-up, the treatment with the highest P-Score for WOMAC score was high molecular weight (HMW) HA + CS [P-Score = 0.9500 and 8503, respectively]. At 6-months follow-up, the treatment with the highest P-Score for WOMAC score was PRP [P-Score = 0.7676]. At all post-injection time points, the treatment with the highest P-Score for VAS score [P-Score Range = 0.8631-9927] and Womac score at 12 Months [P-Score = 0.9044] was SVF. CONCLUSIONS:The current evidence shows that SVF injections result in the greatest improvement in pain and functional outcomes in patients with knee OA at up to 1 year of follow-up.
