  • The Role of Acromioplasty for Rotator Cuff Problems
    The Role of Acromioplasty for Rotator Cuff Problems Jonathan M. Frank, MDa,*, Jaskarndip Chahal, MD, FRCSCb, Rachel M. Frank, MDa, Brian J. Cole, MD, MBAc, Nikhil N. Verma, MDc, Anthony A. Romeo, MDc KEYWORDS Acromioplasty Subacromial decompression Impingement syndrome Rotator cuff repair KEY POINTS Acromioplasty is a well-described technique used for a variety of rotator cuff pathologies, with a rapid rise in its use over the past several years. There are 2 competing theories regarding rotator cuff pathology—intrinsic and extrinsic—that either support or limit the potential benefits of acromioplasty. Acromioplasty may be an effective treatment option for subacromial impingement refractory to conservative therapy. The utility of acromioplasty at the time of rotator cuff repair has come into question, with new studies showing no significant benefit. Further studies with long-term follow-up are required to determine the efficacy of acromioplasty for impingement syndrome and during rotator cuff repair.

  • Open Latarjet: a Reliable, Successful Method to Prevent Recurrence in the Presence of Bony Defects Kevin D
    Open Latarjet: A Reliable, Successful Method to Prevent Recurrence in the Presence of Bony Defects Kevin D. Plancher, MD,†,‡,§ Stephanie C. Petterson, PhD,† and Gilles Walch, MD* Glenoid bone loss may dictate the success of procedures to restore anterior shoulder instability. The Latarjet procedure addresses bony defects to minimize the risk of recurrence in this subset of patients with bone loss in both athletes and non-athletes alike. This article describes a modified, open Latarjet procedure using a subscapularis splitting technique that provides stability through the triple-blocking effect previously described by Patte et al. The “sling effect”, a dynamic effect created by the transfer of the conjoint tendon, provides stabilization in abducted and externally rotated arm positions particularly at mid and end ranges of motion. Augmentation of the anteroinferior glenoid increases or restores the glenoid diameter to provide stability through a “bone blocking effect”. Lastly, stability is achieved by repairing the capsule to the coracoacromial ligament stump. This open procedure has been utilized successfully when a physician is confronted by this difficult clinical scenario. Oper Tech Sports Med 21:238-245 C 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The study reviews all procedures listed in the “Surgery” section of the 2016 American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT TM). Each organization was asked to review new codes since 2013 that are applicable to their specialty and determine whether the operation requires the use of a physician as an assistant at surgery: (1) almost always; (2) almost never; or (3) some of the time. The results of this study are presented in the accompanying report, which is in a table format. This table presents information about the need for a physician as an assistant at surgery. Also, please note that an indication that a physician would “almost never” be needed to assist at surgery for some procedures does NOT imply that a physician is never needed. The decision to request that a physician assist at surgery remains the responsibility of the primary surgeon and, when necessary, should be a payable service.
