A Step-by-Step Approach to Arthroscopic Repair of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

ABSTRACT: Arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears can be technically challenging but is achievable in many cases. Performing adequate releases are important for successful tendon mobility and avoiding excessive tension in the final repair, thus restoring the native anatomy and biomechanics. This Technical Note provides a step-by-step approach to release and mobilize massive rotator cuff tears to or near anatomical tendon footprints.

Arthroscopic Partial Repair of Irreparable, Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Several treatment options for chronic, massive rotator cuff tears exist, and they include debridement with possible biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, open or arthroscopic partial repair, muscle or tendon transfer, superior capsule reconstruction, synthetic patch augmentation, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The aim of this technique article is to describe our preferred surgical option for irreparable, massive rotator cuff tears with an irreparable supraspinatus, a reparable infraspinatus, and an intact or reparable subscapularis tendon.

Arthroscopic Biological Augmentation for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: The Biceps-Cuff-Bursa Composite Repair.

Project description:Surgical repair of massive and chronic rotator cuff tears is difficult due to tendon retraction and severe atrophy, and the resultant retear rate in the structurally weak tendons is high. Commercially available patches and bioinductive scaffolds have been used to provide strength and superior healing environment in partial and complete rotator cuff tears. Biological biceps autograft has been used for superior capsular reconstruction, and the subacromial bursa has been shown to have significant pluripotent stem cell potency for tendon healing. We describe our technique for combined use of the long biceps tendon (LBT) and vasculature-preserved subacromial bursa as autografts in rotator cuff repair augmentation. The technique involves obtaining a LBT graft of sufficient length using a "traction and tenodesis" technique. The subacromial bursa is mobilized as a continuous layer (vascular bursal duvet) by maintaining its medial and lateral vascularity. All-suture anchors are used to minimize the insertion apertures (3 mm) in tuberosity. The bursa is advanced laterally, and the mobilized cuff is repaired together as a biceps-cuff-bursa composite unit. Combined use of the biceps and bursa as biological autografts has the advantage of structural and regenerative augmentation, and the autografts are easily accessible without added cost.

Arthroscopic Linked Triple Row Repair for Large and Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Recently, many arthroscopic techniques have been described to improve the outcomes in rotator cuff repair of large and massive tears; these include conventional double-row, suture bridge, and triple-row techniques, in an effort to optimally reconstruct the rotator cuff footprint and improve fixation. This report describes a modified triple-row repair technique that links the double-row and suture-bridge techniques in one construct, merging the advantages of both to maximize the footprint contact area and contact pressure, which may lead to better healing and faster rehabilitation.

Arthroscopic Knotless, Double-Row, Extended Linked Repair for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:The management of massive rotator cuff tears remains a challenge for physicians, with failure rates being higher when compared with smaller tears. Many surgical treatment options exist including debridement with biceps tenodesis, complete repair, partial repair, repair with augmentation devices, superior capsule reconstruction, tendon transfer, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this article is to describe our preferred surgical technique for a complete arthroscopic repair using an extended linked, knotless, double-row construct.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction and Over-the-Top Rotator Cuff Repair Incorporation for Treatment of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive rotator cuff tears pose significant clinical and surgical challenges for orthopaedic surgeons and increased morbidity to the patient. Left untreated, this pathology can lead to inability to perform daily activities, weakness, pain, and eventual cuff tear arthropathy. Several treatment options exist for irreparable cuff tears, such as reverse shoulder arthroplasty and tendon transfers. However, there exists significant concern for high complication rates and unpredictable clinical outcomes following such treatments. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) represents a viable alternative in treating irreparable cuff tears, providing biomechanical stability and improving pain related to this pathology by reducing superior humeral instability and subacromial impingement. Over-the-top repair of the native rotator cuff tendons with incorporation of the SCR allograft may provide surgeons the opportunity to perform a robust repair in situations where arthroplasty or other more invasive procedures were once the only options. The authors present a surgical technique with associated pearls and pitfalls for their preferred procedure of SCR with incorporation of the native rotator cuff in transosseous equivalent double-row repair for the treatment of massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears.

Arthroscopic Repair of Medial Transtendinous Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Rotator cuff tears are extremely common in the adult population, and medial transtendinous rotator cuff tears, although rare, have recently been reported in the literature. These tears are almost always traumatic, which is a common indication for surgical management. It is necessary to consider these tears as a distinct subset when planning for rotator cuff repair because traditional repair techniques would overtension the tendon, increasing the risk for failure of the repair. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe an arthroscopic repair technique for these tears that avoids overtensioning the rotator cuff while still using repair techniques that are familiar to the arthroscopic shoulder surgeon.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Superior Fulcrum Reconstruction Using Autologous Ipsilateral Peroneus Longus Tendon for Irreparable Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Rotator cuff tears are still among the serious challenges encountered by sports medicine surgeons. With the development of arthroscopic technology, the treatment options for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears (IMRCTs) have gradually increased, but postoperatively, these options are prone to graft retears, reoperations, infections, revision surgical procedures, and so on. On the basis of studies on the balance of the force couples of the rotator cuff, more scholars believe that when addressing IMRCTs, attention should be paid to the reconstruction of the force couples of the rotator cuff; hence, we developed the superior fulcrum reconstruction technique. This article describes an alternative approach to IMRCT repair with superior fulcrum reconstruction using autologous ipsilateral peroneus longus tendon.

All-Arthroscopic Muscle Slide and Advancement Technique to Repair Massive Retracted Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Symptomatic massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears without glenohumeral joint arthritis and chronic medial retraction often are deemed "irreparable." These patients often are treated with alternative joint-sparing procedures including superior capsular reconstruction or tendon transfer procedures. Open and arthroscopic-assisted muscle advancement techniques allow maximal lateral tendon mobilisation during rotator cuff repair. In this report, we present an all-arthroscopic technique of complete supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle scapular detachment and advancement in retracted massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. This allows for an anatomical tendon footprint reduction and tension-free repair.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Graft Augmentation of Fascia Lata for Large and Massive Tears.

Project description:Excellent clinical results of arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears have been reported. However, retears after surgical repair of large and massive rotator cuff tears are one of the most common complications. We present single-row repair with graft augmentation of the fascia lata for large and massive rotator cuff tears to reduce tension at the tendon-bone repair site, and this technique may prevent retears of the repaired rotator cuff. A candidate for this technique is a patient who has a large or massive rotator cuff tear in which the torn edge cannot reach the footprint after mobilization of the torn rotator cuff. This technique could provide an excellent option for irreparable large and massive rotator cuff tears.

Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in a "Functional Biologic Augmentation" Technique to Treat Massive Atrophic Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Surgical treatment of patients with massive rotator cuff tears is unpredictable because of a low healing rate and high incidence of clinical failure. Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction has emerged as a promising technique in treating younger, active patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. Superior capsular insufficiency has been theorized to be a factor in the higher failure rate for repairs of massive tears, and there have been proposals of superior capsular repair in addition to rotator cuff repair to facilitate better healing of massive rotator cuff tears. This article presents our technique of functional rotator cuff augmentation, which is concomitant superior capsular reconstruction with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, to treat massive, atrophic rotator cuff tears. This technique is used in patients with massive rotator cuff tears and superior capsular insufficiency.
