Delaying Shoulder Motion and Strengthening and Increasing Achilles Allograft Thickness for Glenoid Resurfacing Did Not Improve the Outcome for a 30-Year-Old Patient with Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis

Table 1

Data from the present report and selected studies of patients with glenohumeral arthritis treated with soft-tissue resurfacing of the glenoid with humeral hemiarthroplasty or humeral head resurfacing.

First author, year	Mean patient age (range)^*	Number with Achilles allograft	% with Achilles revised to TSA	Graft thickness	Number of suture anchors used on glenoid surface	Peripheral sutures used?	Time to passive motion	Time to active-assisted motion	Time to active motion	Time to strengthening recreational activities
Krishnan, 2007 [5]	51; (30–75)	18	0%	5–8 mm (folded to 3-4 layers)	4	Yes; (4 transosseous Bankart type)	Immediate	NR	4 weeks	8 weeks; NR
Elhassan, 2009 [4]	34; (18–49)	10	77%	Folded once; (2 layers)	4	Yes	Immediate	4 weeks	4 weeks	12 weeks; 16 weeks
Muh, 2014 [3]	36	9	44%	Folded once	4	Yes	2–6 weeks	6 weeks	4–8 weeks	12 weeks^†
	(14–45)			(2 layers)^†		(running mattress)	[Two different protocols used]			NR
Current report	30	1	100%	10.5 mm; (4 layers)	6	Yes; (similar to Krishnan)	4 weeks	8 weeks	12 weeks	16 weeks; 36 weeks

Average ages are from the entire sample of patients described in each study.
NR: not reported; ^†personal communication from Dr. Reuben Gobezie.
Besides our case, these other studies did not have patients with intra-articular pain-pump catheter associated (PPCA) postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL). (For Muh et al. [3] this information was provided via personal communication from Dr. Reuben Gobezie.)
