<p><strong>Background: </strong>Bovine bioinductive collagen implants (herein, "bovine collagen implant") can be used to augment rotator cuff repair. Concern exists that these bovine collagen implants may not yield clinical benefits and may actually increase postoperative stiffness and the need for reoperation.</p><p><strong>Questions/purposes: </strong>Among patients who underwent primary rotator cuff repair with or without a bovine collagen implant, we asked: (1) Did the proportion of patients undergoing reoperation for postoperative stiffness and inflammation differ between the bovine collagen implant and control groups? (2) Did short-term patient-reported outcomes differ between the two groups? (3) Did the proportion of patients receiving postoperative methylprednisolone prescriptions and corticosteroid injections differ between the two groups?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We performed a retrospective, matched, comparative study of patients 18 years and older with minimum 2-year follow-up who underwent primary arthroscopic repair of partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tears diagnosed by MRI. All procedures were performed by one surgeon between February 2016 and December 2021. During the period in question, this surgeon broadly offered the bovine collagen implant to all patients who underwent rotator cuff repair and who (1) consented to xenograft use and (2) had surgery at a facility where the bovine collagen implant was available. The bovine collagen implant was used in rotator cuff tears of all sizes per the manufacturer's instructions. A total of 312 patients were considered for this study (243 control, 69 implant). Minimum 2-year clinical follow-up data were available for 83% (201 of 243) of patients in the control group and 90% (62 of 69) of patients in the bovine collagen implant group. After we applied the exclusion criteria, 163 control and 47 implant group patients remained and were eligible for matching. Propensity score matching was conducted to balance cohorts by age, gender, race (Black, White, other), ethnicity (Hispanic, non-Hispanic), health insurance status, Area Deprivation Index, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification, diabetes, smoking, rotator cuff tear size, concomitant surgical procedures, preoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), VAS score for pain, and shoulder ROM. We included 141 patients (47 in the implant group and 94 in the control group) after matching. Patients were categorized according to whether they received the bovine collagen implant. Before matching, the control cohort was older (mean ± SD 57 ± 10 years versus 52 ± 11 years; p = 0.004), more likely to be White (58% versus 23%; p < 0.001), with a smaller proportion of concomitant distal clavicle excisions (43% versus 21%; p = 0.003), and a smaller proportion of "other" concomitant procedures (17% versus 6%; p = 0.011) compared with the implant cohort.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) antibiotic-laden bone cement (ALBC) is commonly used in total joint arthroplasty to treat and potentially prevent prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Multiple properties impact the elution characteristics of antibiotics from PMMA-based ALBC, including viscosity. What is not known is how medium-viscosity cement formulations affect antibiotic elution and how different cement products from different manufacturers compare regarding reaching the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics for common PJI-causing organisms in an in vitro setting.</p><p><strong>Questions/purposes: </strong>(1) Does cement viscosity impact in vitro antibiotic elution characteristics when comparing medium-viscosity ALBC and high-viscosity ALBC formulations from the same manufacturer against four common PJI pathogens? (2) Does the manufacturer of the PMMA-based ALBC product and the type of aminoglycoside (gentamicin versus tobramycin) impact the in vitro antibiotic elution against four common PJI pathogens?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Three different PMMA-based ALBC products, including Palacos® R (high viscosity) plus gentamicin (PR+G), Palacos (medium viscosity) plus gentamicin (PMV+G), and Simplex™ P (low viscosity) plus tobramycin (SP+T), and controls for each cement type, including Palacos R, Palacos medium viscosity, and Simplex P, were evaluated. These cements were tested against four common PJI pathogens: methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus , methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), methicillin-sensitive S. epidermidis (MSSE), and methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis . A 5-day elution protocol was observed using uniform cylindrical cement samples of each cement product. Each analysis was run with three separate lots of cement, with four samples created per lot and each sample run in duplicate. Standard curves with known antibiotic concentrations were created. Kirby-Bauer assays were then used to determine the zone of inhibition for each cement product against the four common PJI pathogens. The eluted antibiotic concentration was extrapolated for each product over 5 days to determine the interpolated antibiotic concentration for each of the 5 days.

Multivariable regression was performed to identify the relationship between preoperative outcome measures and achievement of CIBS. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to determine whether thresholds in preoperative outcome measures were associated with achieving CIBS.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>For all ROM measures and outcome scores, poorer preoperative ROM was associated with greater odds of achieving the MCID and SCB but lower odds of achieving the PASS. For the SST and the two scores without ceiling effects (the Constant and SAS scores), poorer preoperative outcome sco","PeriodicalId":10404,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research®","volume":" ","pages":"377-395"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11828012/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142945164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
