Abstract | Aim: The main objective of this study was to estimate the carbon impact of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs in France. The secondary objective was to assess the effectiveness of the following measures in reducing the carbon footprint associated with this technique: outpatient treatment, arthroscopic water filtration, surgery under locoregional anesthesia. Hypothesis: The hypothesis was that the carbon footprint could be significantly improved with the implementation of these three procedures. Methods: A continuous series of 26 patients who underwent surgery for a rotator cuff tear involving only one tendon between November 2020 and April 2021 were included. The evaluation protocol consisted of three parts: 1/ use of volatile anesthetic agents; 2/ electrical consumption linked to the procedure; 3/ emissions related to patient and staff travel, delivery of implants and waste management. Another series of 26 patients operated between November 2018 and April 2019 who had none of these three factors were matched. Results: The carbon impact of arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff was estimated at 334.61±18.82kgCO Conclusion: Performing surgery under locoregional anesthesia, on an outpatient basis with water purification, reduces the carbon impact of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair by more than 12%. Level of evidence: III, retrospective case control. |
