A load-sharing rip-stop fixation construct for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

ABSTRACT: Despite advancements in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques, achieving tendon-to-bone healing can be difficult in the setting of poor-quality tendon. Moreover, medial tendon tears or tears with lateral tendon loss may preclude standard techniques. Rip-stop suture configurations have been shown to improve load to failure compared with simple or mattress stitch patterns and may be particularly valuable in these settings. The purpose of this report is to describe a technical modification of a rip-stop rotator cuff repair that combines the advantages of a rip-stop suture (by providing resistance to tissue cutout) and a double row of load-sharing suture anchors (minimizing the load per anchor and therefore the load per suture within each anchor).

"Double-Row Rip-Stop" Technique for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff repair depends on both the fixation strength of the chosen repair construct and the local healing response of the repaired tissue. Among a growing discussion surrounding the superiority of one surgical technique over another, the surgeon's ability to complete a rotator cuff repair with technical acuity in a timely manner remains paramount. Double-row repairs as well as rip-stop configurations have been proposed to limit failures found after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs. Implementation of both techniques during arthroscopic shoulder surgery may represent a technical challenge for the average orthopaedist. The purpose of this article is to give simple instructions for reproduction of an arthroscopic double-row rip-stop repair for rotator cuff fixation.

Medialized Rip-Stop Convergence Technique for Retracted Rotator Cuff Tears

Project description:Attempts to restore the anatomical footprint during rotator cuff repair for retracted, relatively immobile tears can be difficult. In some cases, it can lead to excessive tension of the repair. Previous studies have noted improved clinical outcomes when repair tension is not excessive, and medialization of the anatomical footprint has been suggested as a technique that can help surgeons repair large, retracted tears without excessive tension and achieve improved clinical outcomes. Of note, excessive tension when restoring the rotator cuff tendon to the anatomical footprint is not limited to large, retracted tears. In some cases, restoring small- and medium-sized tears to the anatomical footprint also can lead to excessive tension. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the authors to employ some degree of footprint medialization even for repair of small- or medium-sized tears if repair to the anatomical footprint will lead to excess tension. The purpose of this article and video demonstration is to provide instruction for a reproducible rotator cuff technique using a medialized single-row rip-stop construct combined with convergence. Technique Video Video 1 An arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with a medialized rip-stop convergence technique is shown for a left shoulder in the beach-chair position, as viewed through a posterior portal and lateral portal with lateral subacromial viewing perspective. Techniques and advantages of medialization are demonstrated with emphasis on creating an opportunity to perform a double-row repair when one otherwise would not be feasible due to the entire footprint’s medial shift.

Arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff repair techniques continue to evolve in an effort to improve repair biomechanics, maximize the biologic environment for tendon healing, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. The arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent technique was developed to replicate the favorable tendon-bone contact area for healing seen in open transosseous tunnel repair. In this technical note and accompanying video, we present our all-arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair technique with a focus on technical pearls.

All-Intra-articular Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:This Technical Note presents an arthroscopic technique to repair rotator cuff tears using a constant intra-articular (glenohumeral) portal for visualization. The smoothness of both the humeral head cartilage and the articular side of the rotator cuff offers a cleaner arthroscopic approach, while the absence of a subacromial bursa also reduces bleeding, turbidity, and the need for iterative soft tissue debridement. It also facilitates the recognition and repair of certain tear patterns. The intra-articular perspective allows the surgeon to visualize how stitches pierce the tissue in a desired and resistant area of the tendon. During knot tying, instead of watching the knot compressing against the bursal side of the tendon, the surgeon monitors how the articular side of the tendon is compressed and attached against the footprint while pushing the knot until the desired level of reduction is achieved.

Arthroscopic Laminar Spreader for Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can be challenging and requires adequate visualization and space. However, the narrow subacromial space can make difficult to perform tendon release and repair under arthroscopy. Inadequate visualization may lead to inaccurate suture placement, compromising the reduction and fixation of the repaired rotator cuff tendons. Manual or mechanical distraction (using an arm positioner) can be used to increase the working space. However, consistent distraction is very difficult to maintain manually over time due to fatigue, whereas mechanical distraction may overstretch the brachial plexus. To overcome these difficulties, we describe a technique using a specific laminar spreader for subacromial distraction during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The arthroscopic laminar spreader, inserted into the subacromial space, is used to distract the humeral head inferiorly from the acromion, improving subacromial space visualization and enabling easily rotator cuff release and repair. The shoulder distraction device improves the surgeon's performance without surgical assistance and allows reducing the operative time with safety. It can be also used anteriorly (to repair the subscapularis) or posteriorly (to repair the infraspinatus and teres minor) or to perform other procedures like superior capsular reconstruction or additional patch.

Arthroscopic, Needle-Based, Transosseous Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Although open transosseous repair was historically used as a gold-standard surgical solution for rotator cuff tears, this procedure was largely replaced by anchor-based techniques because of the advancement of arthroscopic surgery. However, the ability of anchor-based repair to achieve similar biomechanical fixation remains uncertain. Despite the proposals of numerous methods over the last decade, there remains demand for a standard, reliable technique that integrates the biomechanical advantages of transosseous fixation within the realm of arthroscopy. We describe a technique for transosseous rotator cuff repair using the Omnicuff, a needle-based transosseous suture-passing device that minimizes the risk of failure of suture passage between the bone tunnels. With potential advantages of this design including automated-assisted suture passage, improved bone-tendon healing, and anchorless fixation, surgeons may be inclined to consider these biomechanical and cost-saving benefits. Future studies are warranted to determine clinical outcomes of this technique and its suitability for tears of varying degrees and patterns.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in Supine Position.

Project description:Considering shoulder arthroscopy, lateral decubitus and beach chair are the 2 main employed positionings of the patient. Each include advantages and disadvantages. In our center, we perform all shoulder arthroscopy with the patient in supine position. The aim of this work is to present a stepwise approach of the accomplishment of a rotator cuff repair in supine position. Some specific technical notes are given to provide as much information as possible to help orthopaedic surgeons wishing to perform shoulder cuff repair in this position.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Concomitant Capsular Release.

Project description:Patients with rotator cuff tears may present with or subsequently develop concomitant shoulder stiffness. The treatment of rotator cuff tears in the face of passive glenohumeral motion loss is controversial. Preoperative shoulder stiffness has been considered by some a contraindication to rotator cuff repair. Some surgeons recommend staging surgical procedures and delaying rotator cuff repair until shoulder stiffness has resolved. However, this can lead to prolonged recovery times and patient dissatisfaction. We describe a surgical technique that allows for the single-stage arthroscopic management of rotator cuff tears with associated adhesive capsulitis. Arthroscopic capsular release and shoulder manipulation are performed in the same operative setting as arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We have found that this combined, single-stage arthroscopic approach can effectively treat patients with rotator cuff tears and concomitant shoulder stiffness.

Dual-camera technique for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Project description:An all-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair demands a high level of technical skill and is associated with a steep learning curve. It is well accepted that small rotator cuff tears or partial tears can be more difficult than large or even massive tears to repair. Part of the reason is the difficulty in visualizing the tear, as well as important surrounding structures, during repair. To improve visibility during the repair process, we have introduced a second arthroscopic camera. Two cameras allow the surgeon to observe the rotator cuff from both the articular and bursal sides. We find this technique has merit in small or partial-thickness rotator cuff tears; however, there may be other applications.
