All patients had ≥2 years of follow-up. Demographics, postoperative active range of motion, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, and Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), were collected.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>There were no significant differences between the STS and TOE groups regarding mean follow-up (48.2 ± 18.5 vs 47.9 ± 20.5 months; <i>P</i> = .70) or age (64.6 ± 7.2 vs 64.8 ± 7.3 years; <i>P</i> = .79). With respect to clinical outcomes and PROs, there were no differences in postoperative VAS pain score (STS vs TOE: 0.94 ± 1.5 vs 0.89 ± 1.8; <i>P</i> = .39), SSV score (92.4 ± 8.9 vs 90.1 ± 13.0; <i>P</i> = .79), or ASES score (90.8 ± 9.7 vs 92.6 ± 12.0; <i>P</i> = .15). No differences were identified for postoperative active forward flexion (STS vs TOE: 154.2° ± 13.3° vs 159.4° ± 11.3°; <i>P</i> = .10), external rotation (53.3° ± 6.2° vs 51.4° ± 8.7°; <i>P</i> = .47), or internal rotation (<i>P</i> = .69) score. Although there were larger anteroposterior tear sizes in the STS group (21.4 ± 9.3 vs 16.0 ± 6.7 for TOE; <i>P</i> = .04), there was no significant group difference in failure rates (11% [STS] vs 8% [TOE]; <i>P</i> > .99).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Arthroscopic STS suture repair for transtendinous supraspinatus tears yielded excellent outcomes with low failure rates, comparable with tendon-to-bone double-suture anchor repair for typical tendon avulsion-type cuff tears. Retention of the large tendon stump on the greater tuberosity with STS repair also allows restoration of anatomy without undue tension in this uncommon scenario.</p>","PeriodicalId":19646,"journal":{"name":"Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"13 3","pages":"23259671251321470"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11898235/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143616713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies reported a rate of return to sports (RTS) of 20% to 80% in athletes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). There are no studies reporting RTS in table tennis players following THA.</p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To evaluate the clinical outcomes and RTS following custom THA in professional, ex-professional, and recreational table tennis players.</p><p><strong>Study design: </strong>Case series; Level of evidence, 4.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Patients who underwent primary THA between April 2013 and January 2022 were retrospectively reviewed (n = 2977). Table tennis players of any level that received a custom femoral stem were included in the study (N = 17). At a minimum follow-up of 2 years, all players were assessed using the Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, as well as with a sports-specific questionnaire that included questions related to their table tennis practice. Descriptive statistics, including medians and interquartile ranges, were used to summarize the data.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>All 17 players (22 hips) were available at ≥2 years, of which 3 were professional (5 hips), 4 were ex-professional (6 hips), and 10 were recreational (11 hips).

The median FJS was 92.0 (IQR, 88.0-98.0) in professional, 98.0 (IQR, 98.0-98.0) in ex-professional, and 100.0 (IQR, 93.0-100.0) in recreational players.

The rate of RTS was 100% for professional and ex-professional players, and 80% for recreational players.

All professional and ex-professional players, as well as 80% of recreational players, were able to return to play table tennis, although both professional and ex-professional players reduced their number of hours of play compared with before surgery.
