A 66-year-old woman presented with shoulder pain and weakness 4 months after augmentation of a rotator cuff repair with a Stryker InSpace subacromial balloon spacer. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a failed rotator cuff repair, large effusion with rice bodies, synovitis, axillary lymphadenopathy, loose anchors, and erosive changes to the greater tuberosity. Arthroscopy revealed balloon fragmentation surrounded by diffusely hyperemic synovium without repairable cuff tissue. Final cultures proved negative for infection. Histologic evaluation revealed ulcerated synovium with diffuse chronic and focal acute inflammation.
Despite promising early results, augmentation of a rotator cuff repair with a subacromial balloon spacer introduces a risk of inflammatory reaction that may mimic a deep infection and compromise rotator cuff healing.
一位 66 岁女性在 Stryker InSpace 肩峰下球囊间隔物增强肩袖修复术后 4 个月出现肩部疼痛和无力。磁共振成像(MRI)显示肩袖修复失败、大的关节积液伴痛风石、滑膜炎、腋窝淋巴结病、松动的锚钉和大结节侵蚀性改变。关节镜检查显示球囊碎片周围弥漫性充血性滑膜,无可修复的肩袖组织。最终的培养结果为阴性,无感染。组织学评估显示溃疡性滑膜伴弥漫性慢性和局灶性急性炎症。
尽管早期结果令人鼓舞,但肩峰下球囊间隔物增强肩袖修复术会引起炎症反应的风险,可能会模仿深部感染并影响肩袖愈合。
