Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Through a Single Anterior Portal.

ABSTRACT: Arthroscopic subscapularis repair with knotted suture fixation typically requires use of both anterior and accessory superolateral portals with passage of suture through multiple anatomic spaces. The advent of knotless anchors has allowed for simplification of subscapularis repairs. In this report we describe a simple method of knotless arthroscopic subscapularis repair through a single anterior portal. The indication for a single-anterior portal knotless subscapularis repair is a complete tear of the upper one-third of the subscapularis. This approach can be used for isolated subscapularis repair or, in patients with multiple-tendon involvement, initial subscapularis repair to facilitate subsequent posterosuperior cuff repair.

Arthroscopic Single-Portal Subscapularis Tendon Repair.

Project description:Tears of the subscapularis tendon can be challenging to diagnose and treat. Because the subscapularis plays an important role in shoulder function, careful arthroscopic evaluation and treatment are necessary to restore function. Previous surgical techniques have ranged from full open repairs to complex arthroscopic procedures needing suture passer and/or retriever devices. We describe an arthroscopic surgical technique of subscapularis repair through a single anterior portal using only penetrating graspers. This approach can be used for partial upper-border subscapularis tears, as well as complete and retracted subscapularis tendon tears.

Knotless Arthroscopic Repair of Subscapularis Avulsion Fracture Using a Single Anterior Portal.

Project description:Proximal humerus lesser tuberosity avulsions are uncommon injuries; however, when present, they can be debilitating for patients. As such, they pose a unique clinical challenge. These fractures were traditionally treated through an open approach to the proximal humerus; however, arthroscopic techniques continue to evolve and are increasingly used for these types of injuries. We describe our minimally invasive arthroscopic technique to repair lesser tuberosity avulsions using standard arthroscopic equipment. This method is safe, efficient, and applies basic shoulder arthroscopic techniques.

Arthroscopic Knotless Repair of Complete Full-Thickness Tears of the Subscapularis Tendon Through a Single Portal.

Project description:Arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tendon tears has shown to be a reliable and reproducible technique and is now considered the gold standard method over open repair. However, most arthroscopic techniques use several working portals and the procedure can be technically challenging and time-consuming, especially when knot-tying is required and when multiple anchors are used. Recently, single-portal knotless techniques have been popularized for upper-third lesions (e.g. Lafosse type 1 or 2 tears). Here, we describe a technique of repairing complete tears of the subscapularis tendon (Lafosse type 3 and 4) using knotless suture anchors through a single portal. This technique is quick and allows a safe anatomic footprint repair to the lesser tuberosity.

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Tendon Repair Using the Lasso-Loop Technique Through Anterolateral Viewing Portal.

Project description:The subscapularis is the strongest muscle among the rotator cuff muscles, and it provides a coupled balanced force across the glenohumeral joint by resisting the infraspinatus in axial plane and the shearing force of deltoid in the coronal plane. It is important to repair subscapularis tears to maintain the coupled balanced force. Subscapularis tendon tears are difficult to diagnose and treat. Only a small portion of the subscapularis tendon is visualized during routine arthroscopy, as it is largely covered by the middle and inferior glenohumeral ligaments. Various repair techniques have been described in the literature. Here, we describe the anterolateral viewing portal for better visualization of subscapularis and our preferred technique, the lasso-loop technique, which provides better tissue grip and improved functional outcome.

Single Portal Technique for Subscapularis Tendon Repair.

Project description:The fast and steady development of arthroscopy techniques in the last couple of decades led to a drastic increase of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs over the open procedure. Supraspinatus tears are the most common of all, but the subscapularis tendon tear is a more common injury than expected. Most of the time it presents as a partial tear or is associated with a subsequent rotator cuff tendon injury, especially the supraspinatus. Nowadays, the standard procedure to repair the subscapularis tendon is performed arthroscopically, even though a real superior result over the open repair it is yet to be reported. Ideally less operative time, less scarring, and postoperative pain would be the expected benefits, but no study has compared the long-term outcome of these 2 procedures yet. To maximize possible improvements, we would like to present an arthroscopic technique: a subscapularis tendon repair performed with the aid of an angled suture passer and using a single anterior working portal.

Arthroscopic Single Portal, Single Anchor Knotless Subscapularis Repair with Concomitant Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon.

Project description:Anterior shoulder pathology involving the subscapularis is often associated with the biceps tendon because both anatomic structures intersect the lesser tuberosity. Standard procedures for such pathology often involve simultaneous subscapularis repairs and biceps tenodesis. Single anterior portal subscapularis repairs have been emerging in the past 5 years because of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Biceps tenodesis is a common procedure performed both open and arthroscopically. This technique takes advantage of the close relation between the long head of the biceps tendon and subscapularis tendon to restore the functional length-tension relation and preserve function through fixation using a single portal and a single knotless suture anchor.

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Using a Subacromial View.

Project description:As a result of the continued improvement in arthroscopic equipment and techniques, subscapularis tears are now more reliably identified and are being repaired at higher rates than previously reported. Whereas small upper-border subscapularis tears can usually be effectively managed using an intra-articular view, larger tears often cannot be fully visualized with a standard 30° arthroscope when viewed from the posterior portal. These tears may require either using a 70° arthroscope or viewing through the standard 30° arthroscope from a subacromial portal-site location to completely visualize the tear. This article illustrates and discusses the advantages of using a subacromial-space portal site to view and arthroscopically manage large subscapularis tears.

Arthroscopic Decompression of Spinoglenoid Notch Cyst and SLAP Repair Through a Single Working Portal.

Project description:A SLAP lesion can be found with a concomitant spinoglenoid notch cyst. The cyst can cause suprascapular nerve compression, resulting in shoulder pain and weakness of external rotation. Their management varies from conservative treatment to operative treatment. Cyst decompression through the labral tear is our preferred treatment. Previous studies demonstrated a good result after arthroscopic decompression of the cyst through the labral tear combined with SLAP repair. Many surgeons usually use 3 portals to perform this procedure. However, we prefer to use only 2 portals, 1 anterior viewing portal and 1 posterior working portal. This strategy is more time and cost efficient. The patient is positioned in lateral decubitus. The SLAP lesion is demonstrated by using a probe. Tissue elevator is inserted into the labral lesion to penetrate into the cyst wall. A soft anchor is placed. A birdbeak suture passer penetrates the posterior labrum. Then knot tying is done. The advantages of this single working portal technique are short operative time, a decreased risk of iatrogenic rotator cuff injury from accessory anterolateral portal or posterior labral injury from posterolateral portal, and avoiding unnecessary superior capsule incision for cyst exposure.

Arthroscopic repair of chronic bony bankart lesion using a low anterior portal.

Project description:We describe the repair of a chronic bony Bankart lesion in a case with recurrent instability using standard techniques and equipment for addressing anteroinferior glenohumeral instability. A 25-year-old man with recurrent instability and a chronic bony Bankart lesion with a Hill-Sachs lesion was treated. The inferior 2 sutures and knotless anchors are placed through a low anterior portal, which improves the angle of approach to the inferior portion of the glenoid that is fractured. The knotless anchors are impacted through the low anterior portal, just superior to the level of the suture, as the fragment tends to retract medially and inferiorly, with the drill guide slightly on the face of the glenoid. The superior-anterior portal adjacent to the biceps tendon gives a better view of the glenoid articular cartilage position of the anchors required to restore the anatomic location of the fracture fragment. The low anterior portal improved and simplified the reduction of the fracture fragment to the glenoid neck by allowing access to the anterior-inferior bony Bankart lesion that was repairable with suture and knotless anchors using standardized techniques.

Double-Row Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair: A Surgical Technique.

Project description:The subscapularis is the strongest rotator cuff muscle in the shoulder. Until recently, most surgical repairs were performed through an open approach. Furthermore, the reporting of arthroscopic repair techniques and outcomes is fairly limited. This is likely due to the difficulty involved in all-arthroscopic repairs and the relative rarity of this injury compared with injuries of the other rotator cuff tendons. Arthroscopic subscapularis repair can be challenging, even for an expert surgeon, and attempting a double-row repair adds further complexity. Given these issues, this article provides techniques to allow for successful arthroscopic double-row subscapularis repair and avoid potential complications. The key features of an arthroscopic double-row repair include portal placement, surgical technique, and tips to avoid potential pitfalls, all of which are discussed.
