UHMWPE suture induced pseudotumor following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A case report.
Shoulder & Elbow 2023 November
UHMWPE suture shows excellent biocompatibility and complication associated with suture debris had not been described before in shoulder surgery. In this study, a case of a 38-year-old man with a wear debris pseudotumor mimicking osteochondromatosis in the subacromial bursa five years after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using a composite braid suture (a polydioxanone core with a sleeve of UHMWPE) was presented. Histological examination confirmed the presence of suture fragments surrounded with the osteochondral layer without inflammatory reactions. The present study implies the potential risk of free fragmented remnants from the UHMWPE suture. Because of the silent nature of the histological response, a high index of suspicion should be necessary to disclose the chanciness of its use.
