摘要
Background: Attenuation of the shoulder capsule has been noted during revision surgery for failed thermal capsulorrhaphy. Hypothesis: The attenuated capsule seen in patients who have undergone failed thermal capsulorrhaphy will show histologic characteristics distinguishing it from the capsule of normal shoulders and dislocating shoulders. Study Design: Case control study. Methods: The shoulder capsules were studied in 12 patients with traumatic anterior instability and in 7 patients who experienced recurrent instability after a thermal capsulorrhaphy. The capsules of six fresh-frozen cadavers with no shoulder lesions were used as controls. Results: Among patients who had a history of traumatic instability, a denuded synovial layer was present in 58%, subsynovial edema in 58%, increased cellularity in 25%, and increased vascularity in 83%. At the time of surgery, five of seven shoulders in the failed thermal capsulorrhaphy group (71%) were subjectively felt to be thin and attenuated. Denuded synovium was found in 100% of these patients, subsynovial edema in 43%, and changes in the collagen layer in 100%. Changes in the collagen layer in these patients included a "hyalinization" appearance in five cases (71%), increased collagen fibrosis in two cases (29%), and increased cellularity in two cases (29%). Conclusions: There was no one characteristic observable on histologic evaluation that would explain the attenuation of the capsule in cases of failed thermal treatment. Morphologic collagen structure can be histologically abnormal for up to 16 months after thermal capsulorrhaphy. (C) 2002 American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine.
