Board Certified in Orthopaedic Surgery & Orthopaedic Sports Medicine 
Specializing in arthroscopic shoulder & knee surgery
Historical View of Rotator Cuff Pathology 
Diagnosis 
• Tendonitis / Impingement 
• Rotator cuff tear 
Treatment 
• Conservative treatment 
• Surgical treatment 
– Decompression 
– Open rotator cuff repair
Prehistoric  The Future 
• Orthopaedic 
Surgeons

Spectrum of Rotator Cuff Disease 
• Tendonitis / Low grade PASTA lesion 
• High grade PASTA lesion / Rotator cuff tear 
• Reparable massive rotator cuff tear 
• Irreparable rotator cuff tear 
• Cuff tear arthropathy
TENDONITIS & 
LOW GRADE PARTIAL CUFF TEAR
Options for 
Tendonitis / Low-Grade Partial RC Tear 
Traditional 
• 
• Physical Therapy 
• Cortisone 
• Surgery 
– Decompression / Acromioplasty 
– Debridement 
Advanced Technology 
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) 
• Stem cells (BMAC) (?)
Goals of Treatment 
• Decrease pain & inflammation 
• Create vascular channels 
• Promote stem cell migration 
• Achieve healing of tissue

Platelet-Rich Plasma vs. Cortisone Injections 
for the Non-surgical Treatment of Shoulder Pain 
PRP > Cortisone 
• Inflammatory & calcific 
processes 
– Tendonopathy 
• Partial tears & degenerative 
processes 
– Tendon, ligament, muscle 
• Pain relief 
PRP = Cortisone 
• Full thickness tears 
– Rotator cuff, SLAP, instability 
• Adhesive capsulitis 
• Advanced DJD of shoulder 
• 740 patients with injection of cortisone or PRP (ACP) under ultrasound guidance 
• 208 Study (PRP) patients / 532 Control (cortisone) patients
Type of Tendonopathy 
Will Determine Mode of Treatment 
• Inflammatory (Tendonitis) 
• Degenerative 
• Partial tear 
– Acute traumatic 
– Semi-acute non-traumatic 
– Chronic 
• Full tear 
• Peri-tendon / One 
• Intra-tendon / One+ 
– Intra-tendon / One 
– Intra-tendon / One+ 
– Intra-tendon / 2 or 3 
• Peri-tendon / One
Other Considerations 
• h/o Cortisone 
• In season 
• Out of season 
• Multiple injections 
• Peri-tendon / Pain control 
• Attempt to heal
Injecting to Heal 
• Degenerative tendons 
– Lat / Med epicondylitis 
– Patellar / Quad tendonitis 
– Achilles tendonitis 
• Partial tears of ligaments 
– UCL 
– MCL 
– NOT Intra-articular ligaments 
or tendons 
• Calcific tendons 
– Rotator cuff 
– Patellar 
– Achilles

James Cook, DVM, PhD 
• Chronic infraspinatus model 
– n = 10 dogs 
– Bilateral shoulders, release tendon 
– Repair after 4 wks 
• FlexiGRAFT / PRP vs. Direct Repair 
– Modified SpeedFix configuration 
• SutureTak medially 
• 12 week sacrifice, outcome 
measures 
– MRI, Histo, and Biomechanical testing
FlexiGRAFT Strip with RC Repair 
Standard FlexiGRAFT 
T = Tendon; I = Interface; A = Anchor 
Standard has more fibrous tissue at interface and is more edematous

– SutureBridge 
Advanced Technology 
• SpeedBridge 
• Rip Stop 
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) 
• Stem cells (BMAC) 
• FlexiGraft DBM sponge 
• Patch augmentation
ECM Patches 
• Justification 
– Failure rates: 20 57% reported for RC repairs 
– In vivo animal studies: Support use of acellular dermal grafts for 
augmentation 
– Biomechanical studies: Dermal grafts superior suture retention over SIS or 
BM patches 
• But 
– acellular significant DNA 
• GraftJacket, Restore, TissueMend 
Adams et al, Arthroscopy 2006. 
Aurura et al, J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2007. 
Coons et al, Sports Med Arthrosc Rev 2006.
RC Repair Augmentation 
• Peer reviewed clinical studies do not support SIS grafts 
• Iannotti et al, (JBJS 2006) - Randomized prospective controlled trial using (Restore) augmentation for 
massive tears showing no benefit using SIS. Discontinued study early! 
• Walton et al. (JBJS 2007) - 19 pts. 4 of which had severe early inflammatory rxn. 2 yr. MRI shows no 
difference in failure rate vs non-augmented, abandoned study early! Porcine graft (Level 3) 
• Schlamberg et al. (J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2004) All patients re-tore 
• Zheng et al. (J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2005) Adverse outcomes related to retained 
cellular elements 
• Dermis grafts show potential 
• Burkhead et al. (Semin Arthroplasty 2007) 17 pts, GJA augmentation, 1.2 yrs F/U, improved UCLA 
scores but 3 retears per MRI & no reversal of atrophy or fatty infiltration. No Control group

IRREPARABLE ROTATOR CUFF TEAR
Options for Irreparable RC Tears 
Traditional 
• Debridement 
• Partial repair 
• Biceps tenotomy 
• Latissimus dorsi transfer 
• 
• Reverse arthroplasty 
Advanced Technology 
• Superior Capsular Reconstruction
Disadvantages to Reverse Total Shoulder 
• Subject to overuse 
• Too easily seen as a solution for all previously untreatable shoulder 
pathologies 
• Challenging surgical technique 
• Requires extensive training and experience limits availability 
• Arthroplasty 
• Limited life span 
• Wide range of complication rates
Intercalary Placement 
• Biomechanical studies 
showing equivalent load-to-failure 
and mechanical 
properties, but few articles 
show success clinically

My Techniques for Shoulder Joint Preservation

  • 1. My Techniques for Shoulder Joint Preservation Alan M. Hirahara, M.D., FRCS(C) Board Certified in Orthopaedic Surgery & Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Specializing in arthroscopic shoulder & knee surgery
  • 2. Historical View of Rotator Cuff Pathology Diagnosis • Tendonitis / Impingement • Rotator cuff tear Treatment • Conservative treatment • Surgical treatment – Decompression – Open rotator cuff repair
  • 3. Prehistoric  The Future • Orthopaedic Surgeons – –
  • 4. Spectrum of Rotator Cuff Disease • Tendonitis / Low grade PASTA lesion • High grade PASTA lesion / Rotator cuff tear • Reparable massive rotator cuff tear • Irreparable rotator cuff tear • Cuff tear arthropathy
  • 5. TENDONITIS & LOW GRADE PARTIAL CUFF TEAR
  • 6. Options for Tendonitis / Low-Grade Partial RC Tear Traditional • • Physical Therapy • Cortisone • Surgery – Decompression / Acromioplasty – Debridement Advanced Technology • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) • Stem cells (BMAC) (?)
  • 7. Goals of Treatment • Decrease pain & inflammation • Create vascular channels • Promote stem cell migration • Achieve healing of tissue B A B 1.5 1 0.5 0 CONTROL ACP HA LOG HAS-2 FOLD CHANGE OVER CONTROL HA IN SYNOVIOCYTES 20 10 MMP 13-IN SYNOVIOCYTES A B A 0 -1 -2 CONTROL ACP HA LOG MMP-13 FOLD CHANGE OVER CONTROL A B B 0 CONTROL ACP HA TNF-Α (PG/ML) TNF- Α Fortier et al, AJSM, 2014
  • 8. Stem Cells Proliferation & Migration Significantly Increased with PRP – Kakudo et al, Plast Recontr Surg 2008 – Zaky et al, J Tissue Eng Regen Med 2008 – Drengk et al, Cells Tissues Organs 2009 – Mishra et al, Tissue Eng Part C Methods 2009 – Kruger et al, J Orthop Res 2012 – Moreira Teixeira et al, Biomaterials 2012 – Murphy et al, Biomaterials 2012 – Hildner et al, J Tissue Eng Regen Med 2013
  • 9. Platelet-Rich Plasma vs. Cortisone Injections for the Non-surgical Treatment of Shoulder Pain PRP > Cortisone • Inflammatory & calcific processes – Tendonopathy • Partial tears & degenerative processes – Tendon, ligament, muscle • Pain relief PRP = Cortisone • Full thickness tears – Rotator cuff, SLAP, instability • Adhesive capsulitis • Advanced DJD of shoulder • 740 patients with injection of cortisone or PRP (ACP) under ultrasound guidance • 208 Study (PRP) patients / 532 Control (cortisone) patients
  • 10. Type of Tendonopathy Will Determine Mode of Treatment • Inflammatory (Tendonitis) • Degenerative • Partial tear – Acute traumatic – Semi-acute non-traumatic – Chronic • Full tear • Peri-tendon / One • Intra-tendon / One+ – Intra-tendon / One – Intra-tendon / One+ – Intra-tendon / 2 or 3 • Peri-tendon / One
  • 11. Other Considerations • h/o Cortisone • In season • Out of season • Multiple injections • Peri-tendon / Pain control • Attempt to heal
  • 12. Injecting to Heal • Degenerative tendons – Lat / Med epicondylitis – Patellar / Quad tendonitis – Achilles tendonitis • Partial tears of ligaments – UCL – MCL – NOT Intra-articular ligaments or tendons • Calcific tendons – Rotator cuff – Patellar – Achilles
  • 13. HIGH GRADE PARTIAL CUFF TEAR & REPAIRABLE FULL-THICKNESS RC TEAR
