the common questions patients will ask once they have had a scan and a tear has been reported, particularly if they have had no injury of trauma, they ask what caused my tear. If I have a tear what can you do to fix it, it’s got to be fixed. How can I get better if it is not fixed. I have already had physiotherapy and that didn’t fix it so how will more physiotherapy. Some patients who are not keen on surgery, do I really need to have an operation. I have not had an injury.
there are multiple options thrown into the mix here which we need to consider for an individual patient.
The below illustration shows a very rough decision making tool that I would use in determining surgical or treatment options for particular patients.
A younger patient who has both pain and weakness with a massive cuff tear, if it is partially repairable a biological augment would be suitable.
If their predominant weakness is external rotation i.e. a positive Hornblower sign but good elevation, a lat dorsi tendon transfer.
For an older patient who has a predominant weakness but no significant pain, deltoid rehabilitation programme is indicated.
If they do have pain, a suprascapular nerve procedure such as an ablation would be beneficial.
For those that have significant pain and weakness with failed non-operative options, a reverse shoulder replacement would be the best option.
The balloon as we said, has a very limited place and this is for the older patient with slight loss of function and pain with higher demands.
For those that have more significant pain and elevation weakness, a superior capsular reconstruction would be my preferred option.

Lecture given by Dr Saithna, Orthopedic Surgeon, Overland Park, Kansas on his latest research related to knee and shoulder injuries, including: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), ACL repair, ACL reconstruction, ACL rehabilitation, Rotator cuff and Long head of biceps injuries
ACL repair offer several potential advantages over ACL reconstruction (including quicker rehabilitation, less invasive surgery, reduced operative time, avoidance of donor site morbidity, better proprioception, better forgotten joint scores and the simplicity of revision to ACL reconstruction if the repair fails). This study compares the clinical outcomes of ACL Repair vs Reconstruction. It demonstrates several advantages of ACL repair including superior muscle strength at 6 months, and significantly better forgotten joint scores (FJS-12 scores) as well as non-inferiority with respect to knee laxity parameters and the IKDC score.

Introduction: Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) has been a very successful surgery in relieving pain and restoring function in osteoarthritis. Conflicting evidence in literature exists regarding the merits of patellar resurfacing during TKA over non-resurfacing. Our aim is to evaluate and compare the difference between patellar resurfaced group and non-resurfaced group in primary TKA.
Materials and Methods: This prospective obsevational study was initiated in May 2016 conducted till April 2008 (2 years) in Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital, Hyderabad. At least 14 mm of patella was ensured to be retained after patellar cut. A total of 40 patients were allocated to receive (n=20) or not to receive patellar resurfacing (n=20) during primary TKA. The data was analyzed statistically using the Student t test. Overall patient satisfaction was recorded using the SF-36 score.
Results: Of the 40 patients, 67.5% females and 32.5 % males underwent TKA. Among those who underwent resurfacement, 40% were males. 75% among the non-resurfaced group were females. Right knee was operated on 37.5% of cases. Mean operative time being 103.9 and 122.5 minutes in nonresurfaced and resurfaced cases respectively. Mean patellar thickness was 22.1mm in nonresurfaced and 23.6mm in resurfaced group. The difference in VAS score, modified HSS score, KSS scores between the two groups were statistically insignificant with p-values of 0.230, 0.0214, 0.2513 respectively at the end of two year,
but there was significant reduction of anterior knee pain in the resurfaced with p-value < 0> Conclusion: The functional outcome was not affected by whether the patella was resurfaced or nonresurfaced. There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to the prevalence of knee-related readmission, or of subsequent patella-related surgery or patients overall satisfaction. We recommend selective patellar resurfacing at the time of primary total knee replacement.
Keywords: TKA, Patellar resurfacement, Non-resurfacement, HSS score, KSS score.
Should We Repair Rotator Cuff Tears OPN 2017.pdfLennard Funk
Lennard Funk & Puneet Monga
Prepared for Orthopaedic Product News, 2017
Rotator cuff disease is very common. There is as much enthusiastic discussion and debate on its management as there was 80 years ago when Codman (1937) first described the pathology and surgical management. There is great variation amongst surgeons as to the management of rotator cuff tears biased by experience and their understanding of the literature, skills levels and regional variations. There has been a lot of research done on the pathology, non-operative and operative treatments over the last two decades. Also, over the last decade there have been massive strides in the development of new surgical techniques and technologies. However, despite these advances there is as much discussion and debate!
Superior Capsular Reconstruction Outcomes Wrightington 2020Lennard Funk
Hariharan Mohan, Jagwant Singh, Michael Walton, Lennard Funk, Puneet Monga
Cautious optimism following SCR may be offered to this challenging subset of patients with symptomatic irreparable rotator cuff tears. It is likely that the relatively low re-operation rates can be further improved by considering the negative prognostic factors in defining indications for surgery. Further studies with longer term followup are recommended.
Isolated scapula pain is uncommon, but very difficult to diagnose and manage. In this presentation I run through the known causes and an approach to the diagnosis, in order to guide best treatment.
The Incidence of Traumatic Posterior and Combined Labral Tears in Patients Un...Lennard Funk
Presentation at ISAKOS, 2019
There were 442 primary arthroscopic labral repair procedures performed over the three-year period. The total cohort had a mean age of 25.91±9.09 years (range, 14-67 years) and consisted of 89.6% males. There was no significant difference in mean age or gender between the isolated anterior, posterior or combined groups (p=0.383 and p=0.541, respectively).
• Of the 442 patients who underwent a shoulder labral repair, isolated anterior labral pathology occurred in 52.9% (n=234), with posterior and combined labral tears accounting for 16.3% (n=72) and 30.8%, respectively (n=136) (Table 3).
• Patients were stratified as either sporting or non-sporting; 74.9% of patients were categorised as sporting (n=331) and had a mean age of 24.91±5.69 years, which was significantly lower than the mean age of 35.40±11.94 years in the non-sporting population (p<0.001). In the non-sporting population 68.5% (n=76) of patients had isolated anterior labral tears with 12.6% (n=14) posterior and 18.9% (n=21) combined. In the sporting population isolated anterior labral tears accounted for 47.7% (n=158), posterior 17.5% (n=58) and combined labral tears 34.7% (n=115). The sporting population had a significantly greater proportion of posterior and combined labral tears with the non-sporting population a significantly greater proportion of anterior labral tears (p=0.013).
• Rugby players had the greatest incidence of shoulder instability within the sporting cohort accounting for 231 cases. Of the 231 cases, 47.2% were isolated anterior labral tears, 12.6% isolated posterior and 40.3% combined lesions.
Posterior and combined shoulder labral tears are more prevalent than previously reported in the civilian population. The rates are higher in young, sporting populations and especially in contact sports such as rugby.
Pectoralis major allograft reconstructionLennard Funk
Presentation at ISAKOS, 2019
We performed a total of 142 pectoralis major repairs over a ten year period, of which 19 required allograft reconstruction. Of these 19 patients, 11 were available for response. All 11 patients were male with a mean age of 38.3 years (21 to 48 years). The mean time between injury and surgery was 12.2 months (4 to 30 months). Ten patients (91%) were unable to perform their previous level of work pre-operatively, with all patients returning to pre-injury occupation levels post-operatively.
The main complaint prior to surgery was pain on pushing and moving the affected arm across the body, which improved in nine patients (82%), with no improvement reported in two patients. Strength improved significantly post-operatively, with only three patients reporting no improvement (paired t-test p=0.01). Six patients reported an improvement in cosmesis (50%).
Hydrodistention is a treatment for frozen shoulder (FS) that is gaining popularity again. However, no large, long-term outcome data has been published yet. Our aims were to evaluate hydrodistension for the treatment of primary frozen shoulder (FS) in a large cohort of patients with long follow-up period.
We present a case series of eighty-nine patients (36 males and 53 females) with a mean age of 52 years (33-73). Eleven (12.4%) had disease associations. We excluded post-operative secondary stiff shoulders. The mean volume injected was 33.7ml (16-66). 36/89 (40%) had capsular rupture. Six (6.7%) had adverse effects. The mean follow-up was 104.5 weeks (8-238).
Mean improvement in forward flexion was 165.4, abduction 111.6, external rotation was hand above head with elbow back (and internal rotation in extension to T12. Mean improvement in quickDASH score was 17.1 (p<0.001) and Constant Score was 70.0 (p<0.001). Mean improvement in VAS was 7.3 (p<0.001). No patients had night pain (p<0.001). Eighty-eight (99%) returned to their previous occupation. Seventy-six (85%) returned to their previous level of sport. Gender, previous intra-articular steroid injection, volume of the injectate, type of steroid used, capsular rupture and underlying aetiology had no impact on outcome.
Clinical predictors hydrodilatation in idiopathic fs 2017Lennard Funk
Clinical predictors of poor outcomes for hydrodilatation include female gender, high pain scores, short length of symptoms, previous contralateral FS, inability to reach the waist in internal rotation and external rotation less than one degree. This information is useful in the treatment decision making process for idiopathic FS.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

? Clinically Meaningful?
‣ 2021 Systematic Review & Meta-analysis:
‣ After screening & evaluating bias - 6 RCT’s,
but all low numbers
‣ ‘Statistically, but not clinical meaningful difference in
favour of Repair at 6, 12 and 24 months - for pain
and function.’

Evidence - QOL
‣ QOL RCT 5yrs Op vs NonOp:
‣ 75% of patients remained successfully treated with
nonop treatment at 5 years; QOL 83/100 (SD, 16).
‣ Between 2 and 5 years, only 3 patients became more
symptomatic and underwent cuff repair.
‣ Surgical repair QOL 89/100 (SD, 11) at 5-year follow-
up.
‣ The op and nonop groups at 5-year follow-up were
not significantly different (P = .11).

Evidence - Failure of NonOp
‣ Multicentre Study:
‣ > 400 patients; 8 centres
‣ Prospective
‣ Home Rehab = 75% Success at 2yrs
‣ Patients with low expectations of rehab success were
more likely to fail and convert to surgery
‣ Conversions were within 12 weeks
‣ Not related to tear size, pain or duration of symptoms
‣ Estimated that 73-80% could be managed nonop

Traumatic vs Non-traumatic
‣ Traumatic:
‣ Younger, less muscle atrophy,
fatty degen, tendon retraction
‣ Chronicity of tear negatively affected healing
‣ Muscle atrophy = poorer healing in Atraumatic
‣ Repair results the same
‣ Constant Score [Kukkonen, 2013] [Braune, 2003]
‣ UCLA [Abechain 2017]
‣ Age Matched
✴Traumatic tears affect
Younger
✴But
Repair outcomes the
same (age matched)

Failed Cuff Repairs
‣ Pain, function, quality of life, and satisfaction with
repair remained high and were not influenced by cuff
integrity
‣ [Elliot, 2019] [Russell, 2014][Slabaugh, 2010]
‣ “Patient’s categorisation referring to only diagnostic
factors (eg, type, location of the tear, number of
tendons involved, Goutallier fatty infiltration, or
retraction) seems to imply that additional
explanatory models are needed for better choosing
the best management for RC tear patients.”
Non-Healing
does not
equate with
Poor Clinical Outcome

cuff repair vs. nonoperative treatment: a systematic review with meta-
analysis. Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 30(11), pp.2648-2659.
16. Summary of the Evidence
✓ ‘Tear' = to rip apart - try avoid in non-traumatic cases.
✓ 75% of non-traumatic tears can be managed with Rehab
✓ Strongest predictor of failed Rehab = Patient Expectations
✓ Conversion to surgery is within 12 weeks
✓ Clinical outcomes of Cuff Repair are excellent in traumatic & non-
traumatic
✓ Strongest predictor of healing = Age & Tear size
✓ But: Healing does not correlate with clinical outcome
17. Summary of the Evidence
✓Indications for Surgery =
1. Patient Expectations
2. Trauma

‣ Concentrated growth factors
‣ Safe, inexpensive, technically simple
‣ Evidence for cuff repair:
‣ 2021 Arthroscopy Editorial on meta-analysis*:
‣ “…provides compelling evidence to this effect when
platelet-rich plasma is used as an adjuvant to linked,
double-row rotator cuff repairs.” [Sheean AJ. Arthroscopy. 2021]
