followed since their initial presentation, with the remainder presenting for evaluation only, atthe suggestion of their attorneys. Of those 17 patients, 7 were male and mean age at the time oftheir index surgery was 28.6 years (range 15-55 years). Two patients developed chondrolysis asa result of prominent suture anchors and 15 as a result of an IAPP delivering bupivacaine. Twopatients underwent placement of an IAPP following closed manipulation for adhesive capsulitisand 13 underwent IAPP placement following arthroscopic labrum repair or capsular plicationusing one to seven suture anchors. Onset of symptoms related to chondrolysis, such asincreased pain, stiffness and crepitation, occurred at a mean 8 months (range 1-32 months)following the index procedure. Twelve of the 17 patients underwent one or more additionalarthroscopic procedure, typically for debridement and chondroplasty, and in some cases,capsular release. A loose suture anchor was found in one joint at arthroscopy, which wasremoved. Eleven patients had radiographs documenting joint space obliteration at most recentfollow-up or at the time of prosthetic shoulder arthroplasty. At most recent follow-up, 7patients had undergone 3 total shoulder replacements and 4 humeral head resurfacingprocedures. Four other patients were contemplating prosthetic shoulder arthroplasty. For thoseundergoing shoulder replacement, range of motion recovered modestly so that active forwardelevation improved from 111° to 137° (p
