Management Reduction Sling immobilisation until comfortable Physiotherapy Recurrence ↓ with ↑ age ? Rotator cuff tear > 50yrs First Time Dislocator
Management Activity modification Surgical Stabilisation – (open / arthroscopic / bony) Recovery - 2 - 3 wks - immobilisation - 4 - 6 wks - day to day activities - 4 - 6 mths - contact sports Outcome 90 – 95 % stable at 2 years Recurrent Anterior Dislocation

Treat the Symptoms Non-Operative (+ activity modification) Operative Rotator Cuff Disease
“Orthotherapy” - 3 Phases Control the Pain- NSAID - Cortisone Injection Regain ROM - Physio / exercises Muscle Strengthening- Physio / exercises - Activity modification Management - non-operative
Steroid injection • I prefer posterior approach • 70-80% accuracy when performed “blind” • 40mg depomedrone; 5-10mls marcaine 0.25%
Indications for Surgery Failure or relapse following adequate non-operative treatment (6mths +) Management - operative
Expectations from Surgery Pain relief Variable functional recovery NOT a new shoulder –‘degenerate tissue’ Management - operative
Address the Pathology Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression AC joint Excision Rotator Cuff Repair Arthroplasty Muscle Transfer Management - operative

Management – (failed non-operative / ACUTE event) arthroscopic decompression +/- rotator cuff repair Recovery ASD - immediate mobilisation - 3 – 6 months optimal recovery Cuff Repair - 1 – 3 weeks sling - 3 – 6 months optimal recovery Outcome 85% full recovery, 10% significantly better, 5% no worse!
