Shoulder Problems Motivate Innovative Solutions
Next ArticleRegarding “Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee, Fact or Fiction?”

      Abstract

      Shoulder arthroscopic and related surgeons may require expertise in use of the 70° arthroscope, biologic patch augmentation, repair of massive rotator cuff tears, the Latarjet procedure and related glenoid bone augmentation, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
      In your September 2016 issue of Arthroscopy, in addition to captivating hip and knee and ankle content, we find fascinating a compendium of shoulder articles. The shoulder content seems particularly notable this month for a number of reasons: distinguished authors, complex pathology, innovative arthroscopic and related surgical solutions, and increasingly important and valued comparative cost analyses.
      In addition, several Editorial Commentaries serve to highlight these high impact shoulder topics and enhance the value for readers. The Commentary program has matured to include, as described below, experts writing on a subject in their “wheelhouse” as a way to advance the academic conversation. We encourage readers to join the conversation by please submitting additional comments as Letters to the Editor. More conversation adds depth and understanding to important topics.
      We lead with “A 70° Arthroscope Significantly Improves Visualization of the Bicipital Groove in the Lateral Decubitus Position” by Sheean et al.
      • Sheean A.J.
      • Hartzler R.U.
      • Denard P.J.
      • Ladermann A.
      • Hanypsiak B.T.
      • Burkhart S.S.
      A 70° arthroscope significantly improves visualization of the bicipital groove in the lateral decubitus position.
      Arthroscopy. 2016; 32: 1745-1749
      from San Antonio, Texas, Portland, Oregon, Naples, Florida, and Meyrin, Switzerland. This is a fine follow-up to a classic 2010 article from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, “Use of the 70° Arthroscope for Improved Visualization With Common Arthroscopic Procedures.”
      • Bedi A.
      • Dines J.
      • Dines D.M.
      • et al.
      Use of the 70° arthroscope for improved visualization with common arthroscopic procedures.
      Arthroscopy. 2010; 26: 1684-1696
      In addition, this month's study touting the 70° arthroscope is supplemented by an insightful Editorial Commentary by Sam Taylor, also from the Hospital for Special Surgery.
      • Taylor S.A.
      Using a 70° arthroscope to evaluate the biceps tendon and rule out bicipital tunnel disease is better than using a 30° arthroscope… but still inadequate.
      Arthrosopy. 2016; 32: 1750-1751
      This article demonstrated that we may need to use alternative viewing methods to ensure that we see all of the pathology in a shoulder, especially in the biceps tendon.

      Snyder's astute commentary puts this month's article by the Vail group in clear perspective, and it clearly indicates why Snyder has been revered as an educator for as long as we can remember.
      Two interesting studies from the Rush group (Makhni et al.) evaluate comparative cost-effectiveness for 2 uber-complex shoulder problems: (1) “Revision Arthroscopic Repair Versus Latarjet Procedure in Patients With Recurrent Instability After Initial Repair Attempt: A Cost-Effectiveness Model”

      Cost-effectiveness analysis is a relatively new field of study in arthroscopic and related surgery, and critical analysis is required to allow future authors to improve their methods. Thus, for commentary we turn to Larry Higgins from Boston, who pulls no punches in his critical analysis.

      Shoulder arthroscopic and related surgeons may require expertise in use of the 70° arthroscope, biologic patch augmentation, repair of massive rotator cuff tears, the Latarjet procedure and related glenoid bone augmentation, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Although there are many fine journals that must not be ignored, in the interest of patients, we hope surgeons treating complex shoulder pathology read Arthroscopy.
