“…Although Kaplan et al 9 pointed out the fact that braided polyblend suture materials are abrasive on the surgeon's gloves during arthroscopic shoulder surgery, very few studies have analyzed these abrasive effects on tendons. Wüst et al 1 showed that the abrasive effect is higher with braided sutures than with monofilament sutures, but these results were obtained using porcine cartilage and not tendon.…”

“…This study was the first to introduce a cyclic movement of the suture back and forth through the tendon during loading as done by Wüst et al 1 for cartilage. They showed that the braided polyblend suture material was significantly more resistant but also more abrasive on tendon and bone compared with monofilament sutures.…”

“…13 Moreover, the conditions of testing did not reflect the physiological situation of cuff repair and could emphasize the differences between the sutures, but our study was only interested in the abrasion of suture material on the tendon. Another limitation could be the loading conditions we used, inspired by Kowalsky et al 6 According to their work, we chose to apply cyclic loading combining a fixed tensile load and an alternating motion of the suture through the tendon, rather than a purely cyclic tensile load, as performed by Bisson et al 5 This kind of loading was also used by Wüst et al 1 for analyzing the abrasion effect of sutures on cartilage. Even if this did not reflect the exact physiological situation and could emphasize the differences between the sutures, we thought it more relevant to point out the abrasion effect of the sutures on tendon.…”

“…These sutures show improved load to failure and abrasion resistance compared with braided polyester sutures (e.g., Ethibond [Ethicon, Somerville, NJ]) or absorbable monofilament polydioxanone sutures (e.g., PDS II [Ethicon]). 23,24 More recently, a 2-mm polyblend tape (FiberTape) has been shown to have even greater load to failure compared with FiberWire both in isolation (937 N v 349 N, P ϭ .001) and in tendon specimens (184 N v 168 N, P ϭ .046). 16 On the basis of this study, we believe that the suture tape rip-stop used in the current technique is advantageous compared with a standard polyblend suture, particularly in poorquality tissue.…”

Despite advancements in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques, achieving tendonto-bone healing can be difficult in the setting of poor-quality tendon. Moreover, medial tendon tears or tears with lateral tendon loss may preclude standard techniques. Rip-stop suture configurations have been shown to improve load to failure compared with simple or mattress stitch patterns and may be particularly valuable in these settings. The purpose of this report is to describe a technical modification of a rip-stop rotator cuff repair that combines the advantages of a rip-stop suture (by providing resistance to tissue cutout) and a double row of load-sharing suture anchors (minimizing the load per anchor and therefore the load per suture within each anchor). Most rotator cuff tears occur in individuals older than 60 years of age. 1,2 Increasingly, these individuals are remaining active and demanding rotator cuff repair. However, several studies have shown that the rate of healing in these individuals is less than desirable by standard techniques. [3][4][5] In a recent report, for instance, the rate of healing after single-row arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) was 43% for individuals older than 65 years compared with 95% for individuals younger than 55 years. 3 The lower healing rate observed in older adults is likely related to decreased biologic healing potential.

“…In some cases, prosthesis instability may be a result of impingement. Wust et al (55) reported that the humeral component is important for intrinsic stability. Instability problem could be solved by increasing the offset to restore deltoid tension, which is achievable by putting an extension under polyethylene cup.…”

Human shoulder is considered to be an important flexible and movable part in the human body. However, it is a wobble joint as its range of motion (ROM) is high. This unstable status causes the rate of joint injury. The processes leading to shoulder joint dysfunction are arthritis, hemiarthroplasty failure, and pseudoparalysis; in turn, one of the main factors contributing to these problems is rotator cuff tear (RCT). Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) may be a proper treatment for shoulder dysfunction and pain. This treatment that elevates shoulder movement has been augmented by recent advances in the development of the reverse shoulder prosthesis (RSP) design. The current review highlights the recent developments, revisions, and complications. The review of the published literature has been done to determine the overall rates of problems, complications, reoperations, and revisions after RSA. Furthermore, this review discusses the problems concerning RSP, shoulder joint replacement, and improvement in shoulder joint movement after arthroplasty. Ultimately, an outcome of different endeavors of the researcher was summarized. The endeavor of the current review indicates that RSA is a valuable alternative that can increase forward elevation, improve function, and relieve pain.
