AI Article Synopsis
- The case reports the second known instance of bursitis with rice bodies following a rotator cuff repair using a bovine-derived collagen scaffold.
- After treatment that involved removing the rice bodies and an unincorporated portion of the implant, the patient successfully recovered and returned to normal activities.
- It emphasizes the importance of considering early MRI evaluations for patients experiencing prolonged pain or swelling after such surgical repairs, creating guidance for future medical assessments.
Article Abstract
Case: We report the second-known case of subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis with rice bodies after rotator cuff repair with a Smith + Nephew REGENETEN bovine-derived bioinductive collagen scaffold implant. After the removal of rice bodies and a portion of implant that had not incorporated, the patient recovered well and made a full return to work and recreational activities.
Conclusion: This case demonstrates that persistent pain, swelling, or decreased range of motion for several months after rotator cuff repair with the use of a collagen implant may warrant a relatively early magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate for underlying pathology. It also provides a framework for physicians who may see similar patients in the future.
