AI Article Synopsis
- Impingement of the Long Head of the Biceps (LHB) can cause tears in the supraspinatus tendon, particularly on the side that faces the joint.
- When patients continue to experience pain after having surgery to clean up the area (arthroscopic debridement),
- it is suggested to adjust the position of the arm to a 90-90 angle during the procedure to help alleviate the issue.
Article Abstract
Impingement of the LHB can directly lead to articular-sided supraspinatus tears. When pain persists despite arthroscopic debridement, we recommend taking the arm out of traction intraoperatively and placing it in the 90-90 position.

Clinical application of ultrasound-guided magnetic resonance arthrography for the diagnosis of supraspinatus tendon tears.

Background: There are only a few isolated studies that have examined ultrasound-guided magnetic resonance arthrography (USMRA) of the glenohumeral joint and subacromial bursa with the use of gadolinium contrast agent. This study aimed to determine the clinical value of USMRA in the diagnosis of supraspinatus tendon tears and its subtypes.
Methods: Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) was performed in 207 patients with shoulder pain as confirmed by arthroscopic examination, 103 of whom underwent shoulder joint magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 104 of whom underwent USMRA.

Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears are a common cause of pain and disability and are central to developing full-thickness rotator cuff tears. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the alterations to the mechanical environment due to these lesions. Computational models that study the alterations to the mechanical environment of the supraspinatus tendon can help advance clinical management to avoid tear progression and provide a basis for surgical intervention.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two shoulder surgery techniques—arthroscopic transtendon repair and full-thickness repair—for treating partial articular-sided supraspinatus tendon injuries.
- A total of 84 patients with specific rotator cuff tears were followed for at least two years, showing improvements in pain and shoulder function scores for both groups, but no significant differences between the techniques.
- Key factors impacting recovery included preoperative pain and whether a specific additional procedure (biceps tenotomy) was performed, indicating these may influence postoperative success.

Article Synopsis
- Wheelchair basketball (WCB) players often suffer shoulder injuries, yet there is limited understanding and literature about the specifics of these injuries within this para-sport.
- A study reviewed MRI evaluations of 28 elite WCB athletes to identify injury patterns related to the shoulder, focusing on various shoulder components including the rotator cuff and labrum.
- Results showed high instances of supraspinatus and infraspinatus tears, alongside correlations between injury severity and factors like low IWBF classification and limited trunk control among the athletes.

Article Synopsis
- Current treatments for PASTA lesions, such as arthroscopic transtendon and completion repair, have noticeable drawbacks.
- A new modified transtendon technique is introduced that combines traditional methods with a mini-completion repair.
- This approach reduces trauma from anchor placement and enhances access to the joint through a small incision on the supraspinatus tendon.
