Abstract

Background: To determine the effect of Remplissage procedure with Bankart repair compared to standard Bankart repair alone on resultant external rotation of the shoulder in patients of anterior shoulder instability with engaging Hill-Sach’s lesion.
Methods: Out of 46 patients, 18 patients underwent arthroscopic Remplissage combined with Bankart repair (group I) and the other 28 patients underwent arthroscopic standard Bankart repair alone (group II). Clinical outcomes were retrospectively evaluated by assessing the range of motion, complications, recurrence rates, and functional results were assessed utilizing the UCLA and ROWE score.
Results: Average follow-up period of 23.88 ± 5.26 (range, 12-48) months. Average external rotation loss compared to normal side in group I was of 5.00° ± 0.44° (range, 70°-90°)( p=0.031) in external rotation in abduction and 1.67° ± 0.18° (range, 75°-90°)( p=0.36 ) in external rotation in neutral at the last follow up and in group II it was 0.86°±0.35° (range, 70°-90°)( p=0.559 ) in external rotation in abduction and 0.89° ± 0.38° (range, 70°-90°)( p=0.646 ) in external rotation in neutral at the last follow-up. The average UCLA score was 34.00 ± 1.46 (range, 32-35) in group I and 33.29 ± 1.86 (range, 30-35) in group II (p=0.154). Average Rowe score was 92.22 ± 6.24 (range, 95-100) in the group I and 96.55±5.99 (range, 90-100) in the group II (p=0.025).
Conclusion: The addition of Remplissage procedure with standard Bankart repair causes significant loss of external rotation in abduction in patients of engaging Hill-Sach’s lesion compared to standard Bankart repair alone.
Level of Evidence: Level III
Keywords: Anterior shoulder instability, Remplissage procedure, Bankart’s repair, External rotation, Hill-Sach’s lesion.

Abstract

Introduction: Treatment of distal humerus fractures in the aged population remains controversial due to concerns for bone quality, healing capacity, and integrity of the surrounding soft tissue envelope. We evaluated outcomes of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) in patients aged ≥75 years with extra articular or simple articular distal humerus fractures (AO Type A or B).
Methods: Between 2011 to 2016, 13 patients 75 years of age or older identified in the last five years at two tertiary elbow centers as having undergone ORIF for AO Type A or B distal humerus fractures were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: The final average Mayo Elbow Performance Scores (MEPS) was 83.1 (range, 50-100). Average range of motion included lack of extension to 15° (range, 0-40°), and an average flexion to 128° (range, 115-140°). Average time to union was 12.2 weeks; however, two patients treated with percutaneous pinning resulted in nonunion. One required conversion to total elbow arthroplasty for pain with osseous collapse. There were no triceps or ulnar nerve issues, and no associated perioperative medical complications.
Conclusions: ORIF for AO Type A or B distal humerus fractures in the elderly population provides for immediate/early, functional use of the extremity, predictable union, limited perioperative complications and no long-term weight bearing restrictions. Conversion to total elbow arthroplasty can be utilized as a salvage procedure.
Level of evidence: Level IV.
