Knotted versus Knotless Anchors for Labral Repair in the Shoulder - A Systematic Review
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE:The purpose of the current study is to compare biomechanical and clinical outcomes between knotless and knotted anchors in arthroscopic labral repair, specifically in 1) Bankart repair, 2) superior labrum, anterior-posterior (SLAP) repair, 3) posterior labral repair, and 4) remplissage augmentation of Bankart repair. METHODS:MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were searched according to the PRISMA guidelines to find biomechanical and clinical studies comparing knotted and knotless anchors using the search term "knotless anchor". RESULTS:Overall, 17 studies met inclusion criteria. There were 7 studies evaluating the biomechanical outcomes, of which 5 found mixed results between knotted and knotless anchors for arthroscopic Bankart repair, 1 demonstrated a difference for SLAP repair favoring knotless anchors, and 2 showed no significant difference for Remplissage in terms of ultimate load-to-failure. Four studies evaluated knotless labral anchors compared to knotted anchors in patients undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair with no significant differences in outcomes reported between the two anchor types, except in one study that found an improved VAS score and a lower recurrence and revision rate with knotted anchors. Five studies evaluated knotless anchors compared to knotted anchors in patients undergoing SLAP repair, and none of the included studies found any significant differences in the patient reported outcome measures or revision rates. Of the 5 studies comparing operative time, 4 found a reduced time with knotless anchors. CONCLUSION/CONCLUSIONS:The clinical results show no significant differences in outcomes between knotless and knotted anchors for labral repair in the shoulder, including Bankart repair, SLAP repair, and posterior labral repair. However, there was conflicting evidence supporting knotless or knotted anchors in the biomechanical studies. However, operative times may be reduced with the use of knotless anchors.

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.

Pain Control After Shoulder Arthroscopy: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials With a Network Meta-analysis
BACKGROUND/UNASSIGNED:Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures used to treat a variety of conditions, with >500,000 procedures performed each year. PURPOSE/UNASSIGNED:To systematically review the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on pain control after shoulder arthroscopy in the acute postoperative setting and to ascertain the best available evidence in managing pain after shoulder arthroscopy to optimize patient outcomes. STUDY DESIGN/UNASSIGNED:Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS/UNASSIGNED:A systematic review of the literature was performed based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Studies were included if they were RCTs evaluating interventions to reduce postoperative pain after shoulder arthroscopy: nerve blocks, nerve block adjuncts, subacromial injections, patient-controlled analgesia, oral medications, or other modalities. Meta-analyses and network meta-analyses were performed where appropriate. RESULTS/UNASSIGNED:< .05). No benefit was found in any of the studies evaluating subacromial infusions. CONCLUSION/UNASSIGNED:Continuous interscalene block resulted in the lowest pain levels at most time points, although this was not significantly different when compared with the other nerve blocks. Additionally, nerve block adjuncts may prolong the postoperative block time and improve pain control. There is promising evidence for some oral medications and newer modalities to control pain and reduce opioid use. However, we found no evidence to support the use of subacromial infusions or patient-controlled analgesia.

The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma Leukocyte Concentration on Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Network Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
BACKGROUND/UNASSIGNED:It is unclear whether leukocyte-poor (LP) or leukocyte-rich (LR) varieties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an adjuvant to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) result in improved tendon healing rates. PURPOSE/UNASSIGNED:To perform a network meta-analysis of the randomized controlled trials in the literature to ascertain whether there is evidence to support the use of LP- or LR-PRP as an adjunct to ARCR. METHODS/UNASSIGNED:The literature search was based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Randomized controlled trials comparing LP- or LR-PRP with a control alongside ARCR were included. Clinical outcomes, including retears and functional 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/UNASSIGNED:There were 13 studies (868 patients) included, with 9 studies comparing LP-PRP with a control and 4 studies comparing LR-PRP with a control. LP-PRP was found to significantly reduce the rate of retear and/or incomplete tendon healing after fixation, even among medium-large tears; it also improved outcomes on the visual analog scale for pain, Constant score, and University of California Los Angeles score. LP-PRP had the highest P-score for all treatment groups. LR-PRP did not result in any significant improvements over the control group, except for visual analog scale score for pain. However, post hoc analysis revealed that LP-PRP did not lead to significant improvements over LR-PRP in any category. CONCLUSION/UNASSIGNED:The current study demonstrates that LP-PRP reduces the rate of retear and/or incomplete tendon healing after ARCR and improves patient-reported outcomes as compared with a control. However, it is still unclear whether LP-PRP improves the tendon healing rate when compared with LR-PRP.

Distal biceps femoris avulsions: Associated injuries and neurological sequelae
BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to describe associated injuries in cases of distal biceps femoris avulsions (DBFA) as well as the incidence of neurological injury and radiographic abnormalities of the common peroneal nerve (CPN). METHODS:A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients presenting to our office or trauma center with DBFA injuries. Demographic data was obtained as well as mechanism of injury. Assessment of concomitant injuries and presence of neurologic injury was completed via chart review and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) review. The CPN was evaluated for signs of displacement or neuritis. RESULTS:Sixteen patients were identified (mean age-at-injury 28.6Â years, 87.5% male) with DBFA. Three patients (18.8%) sustained their injuries secondary to high energy trauma while 13 (81.3%) had injuries secondary to lower energy trauma. Nine patients (56.3%) initially presented with CPN palsy. All patients presenting with CPN palsy of any kind were found to have a displaced CPN on MRI and no patient with a normal nerve course had a CPN palsy. CONCLUSIONS:This case series demonstrates a strong association between DBFA and CPN palsy as well as multi-ligamentous knee injury (MLKI). These injuries have a higher rate of CPN palsy than that typically reported for MLKI. Furthermore, these findings suggest that CPN displacement on MRI may be a clinically significant indicator of nerve injury. LOE: IV.

Perioperative Antibiotic Utilization by Orthopedic Surgeons in Arthroscopic Surgery A Survey of Practice Patterns
BACKGROUND:Given the relatively low incidence of infection, the role of prophylactic antibiotics for infection prevention in arthroscopic surgery is unclear. Without established evidence-based guidelines, it becomes important to understand the trends and common practices in the field. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVE:We hypothesized that a majority of surgeons would use preoperative intravenous antibiotics and that postoperative antibiotics would be rarely used. METHODS:A web-based link containing a questionnaire on perioperative antibiotic use for arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder was sent to sports medicine surgeons at several institutions in the New York tri-state region. The questionnaire addressed antibiotic use both preoperatively and postoperatively and the type of medication used. RESULTS:During the study period, 86 surgeons responded to the knee portion of the survey and 139 surgeons responded to the shoulder portion of the survey. A significant majority (94.24% for knee and 93.02% for shoulder) of the respondents routinely preferred to use preoperative intravenous antibiotics for both shoulder and knee surgery. The antibiotic of choice for a majority of the respondents was cefazolin (98.1% respondents). In patients with penicillin allergies, most preferred to use clindamycin. Most respondents (84.5%) did not routinely use postoperative oral antibiotics. CONCLUSION/CONCLUSIONS:There is significant consensus among orthopedic surgeons performing knee and shoulder arthroscopic surgery regarding use of preoperative antibiotics, with the majority routinely prescribing preoperative intravenous antibiotics for prophylaxis and cefazolin being the most commonly used antibiotic. The majority of surgeons prefer not to use postoperative oral antibiotics. CLINICAL RELEVANCE/CONCLUSIONS:This study describes the current trends in the use of perioperative antibiotics among orthopedic surgeons for routine arthroscopic procedures in the shoulder and knee.

Pain catastrophizing is associated with increased physical disability in patients with anterior knee pain
Introduction/UNASSIGNED:The traditional nociceptive approach to pain identifies the mind and body as functionally separate. However, the biopsychosocial model accounts for the impact of social, psychological and physical factors on the patient experience. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between diagnosis, physical disability, and psychological distress among patients with anterior knee pain-one of the most common complaints in an orthopedic clinic. Methods/UNASSIGNED:This was a single-center, cross-sectional study. Patients presenting for initial evaluation of knee pain completed the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale, and SF-12 questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Version 24. Results/UNASSIGNED:207 patients, 108 (52.2%) females and 99 (47.8%) males, with a mean age 44.5 ± 15.4 years were enrolled. The osteoarthritis cohort had the highest pain catastrophizing score (17 ± 14.5), lowest Kujala score (48.3 ± 18.1), lowest SF-12 PCS (37.5 ± 8.3), and lowest SF-12 MCS (50.8 ± 11.0). Across all diagnoses, there was a statistically significant negative correlation between the total Pain Catastrophizing Score (PCS) and the Kujala, SF-12 Physical, and SF-12 Mental Component Scores. Bivariate and multivariate analysis demonstrated a correlation between PCS and duration of symptoms and African-Americans. The Kujala and SF-12 PCS demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with age, smoking, and the Asian Indian ethnicity. The SF-12 MCS showed a significant relationship with the Asian Indian ethnicity. Bivariate analysis also showed a statistically significant relationship between the SF-12 PCS and the SF-12 MCS. Conclusion/UNASSIGNED:Knee pain patients presenting to an orthopedic sports medicine clinic demonstrate diminished physical quality of life and psychological reserves. This study determined an association between catastrophizing behavior and other patient reported outcomes measuring pain, physical distress, quality of life and mental/emotional well-being. To optimize patient outcomes, psychological domain should be managed contemporaneously to orthopedic pathology.
