The Histological In-growth of The Histological In-growth of Soft Tissue into the Nottingham Soft Tissue into the Nottingham Hood ProsthesisHood Prosthesis

Nottingham Shoulder & Elbow Unit
Nottingham City Hospital
A polyester soft tissue reinforcement device
Used as reinforcement for patients with shoulder arthroplasties complicated by medium or large tears of the rotator cuff (RCTs)
Introduced in 1987, number of modifications made since then
Used on a named patient basis for 10 years on humanitarian grounds – alternative option for patients with massive RCTs
30 Nottingham Hoods inserted over the past 10 years

AimAim
Investigate the histological changes associated with the Nottingham Hood:
• Amount of fibrous tissue ingrowth• Level of inflammatory reaction
How do the histological changes vary with length of time from implantation ?
The Nottingham HoodEmbroidered polyester – can be cut without fraying

MethodMethod
4 patients who have had shoulder prostheses with a Hood inserted for associated massive RCTs
Re-operations for various reasons
Excised material subject to histological analysis
Excised biopsy material obtained at:– 6 weeks, 5 months, 9 months and 14 years
Routine and polarised light microscopy has been used in all cases
Results : Patient 1 Results : Patient 1 87 yr old lady with severe arthritis; bilateral TSRs –
satisfactory left TSR but unstable right TSR.
Suffered CVA, left sided hemi-plegia – became dependent on Right shoulder for ADLs
Right TSR revision: glenoid component removed, glenoplasty, humeral head relocated with a Nottingham Hood to retain it in position
Operated shoulder re-dislocated while nursing staff moving patient in bed
Re-op: glenoid reconstructed, Hood removed

76 yr old lady with bilateral lower limb amputations after an accident at 17 years old
Severe arthritis of weight-bearing left shoulder : left TSR carried out
Several revisions: stabilised anteriorly with reinforcement from Nottingham Hood
Visualised at a re-operation 5 months later, and biopsy taken

73 year old man with severe arthritis, a complete rotator cuff tear and anterior dislocation of Left shoulder
Nottingham Hood inserted with a Left Neer prosthesis in 1989
Revision operation 9 months later due to loose glenoid. Nottingham Hood removed at this time, and sent for histology.

66 yr old with bilateral shoulder arthritis; right shoulder hemi-arthroplasty in 1988
Co-existent massive RCT augmented with Nottingham Hood (early version)
Continued problems, Right revision hemi-arthroplasty in 2002
Nottingham Hood (early version) removed and analysed; replaced with Nottingham Hood (latest version)

Histology
1 87 F 6 weeks Fibrin insinuated between bundles of meshwork. Thrombus like formation. No true ingrowth.
2 76 F 5 months Granulation and fibrous tissue. FB giant cell response.
3 73 M 9 months Strands of polyester material surrounded by new fibrous tissue ingrowth.
4 66 M 14 years Foreign material arranged as parallel fibres within tissue. Invested with layer of fascia-like collagen. Associated FB giant cell reaction.
ConclusionConclusion
Early organisational response to the insertion of the new material
Long-term incorporation into host tissues by fibrosis and scarring
Small fibrin and foreign body response lingers on
Suggests long-term implantation of polyester as reinforcement of RCTs is not associated with serious biological problems
