“…Strength in forward elevation was higher in patients with intact repairs in five of eight studies, and shoulder forward elevation was higher for those patients in two of five studies. Although these results do suggest a statistical difference in outcomes for patients with intact repairs, the study by Slabaugh 5,45,46 . The time from surgery to postoperative imaging to assess rotator cuff integrity also varied among the included studies.…”

“…Excellent clinical results have been reported for a variety of techniques [1][2][3][4][5] . Biomechanical studies have demonstrated that improved repair techniques result in stronger initial fixation of the repair, and many surmise that this leads to improved healing of the rotator cuff 6,7 .…”

“…However, the body of literature regarding rotator cuff repairs is significantly broader, and therefore, we can infer that similar results for this technique may be possible, such as a potentially higher rate of tendon healing, 11 in addition to the possibility of performing accelerated postoperative rehabilitation in a safer manner with a double-row technique 12 because of the added strength 13,14 and a decreased incidence of retears. 13 However, this has yet to be validated in rectus femoris repairs.…”

Proximal rectus femoris tendon avulsions are rare and occur mostly in male athletes. Currently, the standard of care for complete tendinous avulsions of the direct arm of the rectus femoris is nonoperative treatment. However, surgical repair may be considered in high-level athletes who have a high demand for repetitive hip flexion performed in an explosive manner or in patients in whom nonoperative treatment has failed. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the method for surgical repair of the proximal direct arm of the rectus femoris to its origin at the anterior inferior iliac spine using suture anchors.

The Mature Athlete’s Shoulder

Context:The mature athlete’s shoulder remains a challenging clinical condition to manage. A normal natural history of the shoulder includes stiffness, rotator cuff tears, and osteoarthritis, all of which can become increasingly more symptomatic as an athlete ages.Evidence Acquisition:PubMed (1978-2013).Study Design:Clinical review.Level of Evidence:Level 3-4.Results:Rotator cuff pathology increases with age and activity level. Partial tears rarely heal, and debridement of significant partial tears results in poorer outcomes than those of repair. Repair of partial-thickness tears can be accomplished with completion and subsequent repair or in situ repair. The most successful result for treatment of osteoarthritis in the shoulder remains total shoulder arthroplasty, with more than 80% survival at 20 years and high rates of return to sport. Caution should be taken in patients younger than 60 years, as they show much worse results with this treatment. Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder can be successfully treated with nonoperative management in 90% of cases.Conclusion:Mature athletes tend to have rotator cuff pathology, osteoarthritis, and stiffness, which may limit their participation in athletic events. Age is a significant consideration, even within the “mature athlete” population, as patients younger than 50 years should be approached differently than those older than 65 years with regard to treatment regimens and postoperative restriction.
