Hybrid Repair of Large Crescent Rotator Cuff Tears Using a Modified SpeedBridge and Double-Pulley Technique.

ABSTRACT: An ideal rotator cuff repair maximizes the tendon-bone interface and has adequate biomechanical strength that can withstand a high level of demand. Arthroscopic transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repairs have become popular and have been shown to be superior to many other methods of fixation. We present an alternative method of repair for large crescent rotator cuff tears that combines 2 well-known methods of fixation: modified SpeedBridge (Arthrex, Naples, FL) and double-pulley techniques. These 2 repair constructs were combined to provide the greatest amount of compression across the footprint while also providing rigid fixation. Ultimately, this can provide an optimal environment for healing in otherwise significant injuries.

A Modified SpeedBridge Technique for Retracted or Delaminated Rotator Cuff Repairs.

Project description:Treatment of full-thickness rotator cuff tears vary in surgical technique dependent on the amount of retraction of the rotator cuff and/or delamination of the soft tissue. The described technique addresses both of those concerns. We present a modification of the SpeedBridge technique used to address retracted or delaminated repairs and effectively expand the indications for use of the double-row knotless technique. In this modification, the reduction is performed by an initial anchor with several stay sutures providing provisional reduction of the tissue in a controlled fashion. This is followed by compression through a standard double-row technique.

Arthroscopic Single Lateral Row Repair Technique for Small Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Small symptomatic rotator cuff tears are a common problem seen by orthopaedic surgeons. Arthroscopic repair has been shown to have favorable outcomes for these lesions. There is as yet no consensus on the ideal technique for the arthroscopic repair of small rotator cuff tears. We present a single lateral row technique for the repair of such lesions, which we believe to be reproducible and effective, that achieves good approximation of the tear while reducing the chance of suture cutouts.

Double-Row Repair Technique for Bursal-Sided Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Rotator cuff pathology is a common cause of shoulder pain in the athletic and general population. Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCT) are commonly encountered and can be bursal-sided, articular-sided, or intratendinous. Various techniques exist for the repair of bursal-sided PTRCTs. The 2 main distinctions when addressing these lesions include tear completion versus preservation of the intact fibers, and single- versus double-row suture anchor fixation. We present our method for addressing bursal-sided PTRCTs using an in situ repair technique with double-row suture anchors.

Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer for irreparable rotator cuff tears: a modified technique using arthroscopy.

Project description:Latissimus dorsi transfer is a well-established method for the treatment of posterosuperior massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. We propose using an arthroscopically assisted technique that avoids insult to the deltoid. With the patient in the lateral decubitus position, an L-shaped incision is made along the anterior belly of the latissimus muscle and then along the posterior axillary line. The latissimus and teres major are identified and separated. The tendon insertion of the latissimus is isolated, and a FiberWire traction suture (Arthrex, Naples, FL) is placed, facilitating dissection of the muscle to the thoracodorsal neurovascular pedicle and subsequent mobilization. The interval deep to the deltoid and superficial to the teres minor is developed into a subdeltoid tunnel for arthroscopic tendon transfer. The latissimus tendon is then transferred and stabilized arthroscopically to the lateral aspect of the infraspinatus and supraspinatus footprints by multiple suture anchors.

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.

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.

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.

True Transosseous Hybrid Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Transosseous repair has been used safely and effectively for primary and revision rotator cuff repair for decades; as a result, it is considered by many the historical gold standard of open repair techniques. Transosseous repair offers the advantage of excellent biology, double-row anatomic footprint reconstruction, and the ability to create multiple low-cost fixation points per surface area of tendon with high-strength suture, while avoiding anchor pullout, cyst formation, and imaging artifact. More recently, in arthroscopic applications, transosseous-equivalent anchor-based repairs have been introduced that have shown satisfactory clinical and biomechanical results; however, these attributes have been coupled with increased cost, nonbiologic burden to the healing interface of the tendon, and new catastrophic failure modes including tendon transection, anchor pullout, and bone voids. This article delineates a technique for arthroscopic true transosseous hybrid cuff repair that combines the use of anchors and transosseous techniques to maximize the benefits and minimize the detriments of both techniques. Level 1 (shoulder); level 2 (rotator cuff).

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.
