3. Age-related Cartilage Changes
Older cartilage is less
cellular
Cartilage cells do not
reproduce after
growth plates close
Chondrocytes only in
lower layers
Water content
decreases
4. Age-related Cartilage Changes
Proteoglycans change
Chondroitin decreases
Keratin increases
PG chains become
shorted and retain less
water
Decreased PG levels
leads to decreased
cartilage function
5. Grading Cartilage Wear
Outerbridge Classification
Stage I Soft discolored superficial fibrillation
Stage II Fragmentation < 1.3 cm2
Stage III Fragmentation > 1.3 cm2
Stage IV Erosion to subchondral bone (eburnation)
7. Osteoarthritis
43 million American adults have doctor-diagnosed
arthritis
100 different types
Osteoarthritis – “wear-and-tear arthritis” – is the most
common
Exact causes are unknown
Researchers say genetics may play a role in 40-65
percent of knee osteoarthritis cases
9. Full Thickness Tears
Loads are concentrated
at the margins of the
tear
Further tearing occurs
with smaller loads
Partial tears become
complete
Smaller tears become
large
Large tears eventually
become unfixable
10. Progressive Tearing
Spacer effect of the cuff is lost
Humeral head displaces superiorly
Biceps tendon eventually ruptures
12. Rotator Cuff Dysfunction
A weak or torn rotator cuff results in
abnormal shoulder mechanics and
abnormal motion that results in pain and
further damage.
14. Late Cuff Failure
Traction spurs develop in
CA ligament
Humeral head
penetrates through the
cuff tear
15. Chronic Cuff Failure
Humeral head forms a
joint with the arch above
Secondary joint disease
occurs called cuff tear
arthropathy

22. Tendon Imaging
MRI
90% accurate in
diagnosing complete
RC tears
70% accurate in
diagnosing partial RC
tears
These data may vary.
It depends on who is
reading the MRI.
This spur is pushing on the rotator
cuff causing “impingement”.
23. Bone Imaging
CT Scan
before
shoulder
replacement
surgery is
needed to
assess glenoid
bone loss
24. Nonoperative Treatment
Education
Realistic expectations
Activity modifications
Potential occupational changes
Physical Therapy
Focus on range of motion (Stretching)
Increased strength without aggravating pain
(Elastic bands)
Avoid weight training
25. Nonoperative Treatment
Medication
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS)
Potential side effects of gastric, renal, and liver problems, especially
in the elderly.
Glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate may be anti-inflammatory
Turmeric: anti-inflammatory
Local Injections with steroid medication may give some
temporary relief, but repeated injections are not indicated, and
should be avoided.
Viscosupplementation (Lubricant injections)
Suprascapular Nerve blocks or denervation
26. Arthroscopic Debridement
Results
Depends on the severity of the disease
Mild arthritis
2/3 of patients will show some benefits
Severe arthritis
<1/3 of patients have any long-term benefit
Arthroscopic intervention does not alter the natural progression of
the disease
Current recommendations are that arthroscopy should be seldom
recommended for the treatment of established osteoarthritis.
27. Arthroscopy for Shoulder Arthritis
Images of a focal defect of the humeral head in a shoulder with minimal arthritis. Younger
patient. Acute trauma.
28. Arthroscopy for Shoulder Arthritis
Generalized arthritis on both humeral head
and glenoid
Early arthritis with only loss of cartilage on
glenoid
29. Arthroscopy for Arthritis
Some patterns of shoulder
arthritis are appropriate for
debridement to remove
loose flaps or cartilage.
Microfracture (seen here) can
help the arthritic joint for
local defects with otherwise
good cartilage surfaces.
Also called marrow
stimulation.
41. Reverse Shoulder Replacements
Reverse shoulder
replacements are
helpful when
treating arthritis
associated with
irreparable rotator
cuff tears in patients
unable to lift the
arm due to tendon
tears.
45. Shoulder Instability
Shoulder joint is too loose and
is able to slide around too
much in the socket
Dislocation
Head of humerus slips
completely out of the socket
Instability without dislocation
Causes pain and apprehension
due to excessive motion
46. Shoulder Dislocation
The shoulder
dislocates when the
head of the humerus
slips completely out of
the glenoid (socket).
Some shoulders may
go back
spontaneously while
others require medical
attention.
47. Shoulder Dislocation
Shoulder dislocations may
result in bone fractures of
the glenoid called a
Bankart Lesion.
Fractures of the humeral
head are called Hill-Sachs
lesions.
When Hill-Sachs lesions
are large, the bone can
become stuck or engaged
on the glenoid.
48. Shoulder Dislocation
Can lead to fractures and joint
damage
This degree of glenoid bone loss
would require reconstruction with
local bone graft. (Laterjet
procedure)
The fracture on the humeral head
will require a tendon transfer
(Remplissage) or an
osteochondral bone graft using
cadaver bone.

Lesion
CT Scan of Chronic Dislocation
49. Shoulder Dislocation
After a dislocation has been reduced, patients wear a sling for
comfort then start therapy.
Six weeks in a sling and special braces do not seem to help reduce
the chances of future dislocations
Currently, we recommend that younger first time dislocators
consider surgery to repair the damage and reduce the chance of
future dislocations.
Older patients (21-40 yo) can sometimes be treated without
surgery unless there is a second dislocation
Patients over 40 yo may initially be treated without surgery unless
there is a rotator cuff tear.
52. Shoulder Instability
For patients with multidirectional
instability (lax ligaments) or those
who have had previous surgery
that has failed, an open
reconstruction may be
appropriate to repair the
detached cartilage labrum
(Bankart repair) and tighten the
lax or attenuated ligaments
(capsular shift).
53. Shoulder Dislocation
If the Bankart lesion is small,
then it can be repaired.
If the Hill-Sachs defect in the
humeral head is large and
engaging, then a tendon
(infraspinatus tendon of the
rotator cuff) is attached to the
bone defect slightly reducing
shoulder mobility but greatly
enhancing shoulder stability.
54. Shoulder Dislocation
When there is significant loss of bone on
the glenoid, not soft tissue procedure
alone will prevent future instability.
In a Laterjet procedure, bone graft is used
to replace the deficient glenoid bone
restoring shoulder stability.
