Background: As preferred treatment options for superior labral tears continue to evolve, this study aims to describe the recent longitudinal trends in the treatment of SLAP tears in a sub-specialized practice at a single institution. We hypothesized that there was a trend toward biceps tenodesis over repair for Type II SLAP lesions.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed using an institutional billing database to identify all patients with a SLAP tear who underwent surgical intervention between January 2002 and January 2016. Procedural codes associated with the surgery were analyzed to determine type of treatment each patient received.
Results: Of the 6,055 patients who underwent surgery for a SLAP tear during the study period, 39.1% (2,370) underwent labral repair, 15.4% (930) underwent tenodesis without repair, and 45.5% (2,755) underwent arthroscopy without tenodesis or repair. Labral repair made up a significantly higher proportion of surgical interventions in 2002 (82.2%) compared to in 2015 (21.8%; ). Surgeon experience did not impact trends. Over the study period, the mean age of patients receiving labral repair decreased from 40.4 years (range: 16.2 - 63.9) to 32.6 years (range: 14.0 - 64.7; ).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that over the 14-year study period the rate of labral repairs for SLAP tears has decreased significantly and that these repairs have been directed towards a younger patient population.

Background: To perform an analysis of intraoperative costs associated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) acellular dermal allograft patch augmentation and interposition.
Methods: This was a matched cohort retrospective cost identification analysis. We identified patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR with acellular dermal allograft patch augmentation or interposition between 2014 and 2023 at a single academic center.

Purpose: Tendon-to-bone repair remains a surgical challenge. Although bone tunnel fixation is a common surgical technique whereby soft tissue is expected to heal against a bone tunnel interface, contemporary methods have yet to recapitulate biomechanical similarity to the native enthesis. In this study, we aimed to understand how inside-out longitudinal tendon inversion affects bone tunnel healing with the hypothesis that inversion removes the gliding epitenon surface to facilitate interface healing.

Background: The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of an arthroscopic knotless double-row (DR) rotator cuff repair (RCR) technique at 2- and 5- years postoperatively, and to compare clinical outcomes in patients undergoing knotless DR RCR with incorporated lateral row biceps tenodesis (LRT) vs. those without LRT.
Methods: All primary RCR surgeries were performed by a single surgeon at a single institution using a knotless transosseous equivalent (TOE) technique.
