Arthroscopic Shoelace Side-to-Side Repair Technique Using Ultratape for the Treatment of Longitudinal Midsubstance Rotator Cuff Tears.

ABSTRACT: Shoulder arthroscopy is a promising tool for assessing and treating patients with a rotator cuff tear. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with suture anchor fixation such as the single-row, double-row, and suture bridge technique are popular procedures that can provide excellent clinical outcomes. On the other hand, longitudinal midsubstance, U-shape, or L-shape tears may benefit more from a side-to-side/margin convergence technique. Despite following the standard side-to-side/margin convergence technique, we continue to see disruption at the site of side-to-side suture margin even with strong sutures. Here, we show our preferred arthroscopic shoelace rotator cuff repair technique using the more durable body tape for a longitudinal U-shape rotator cuff tear.

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.

Margin Convergence in Rotator Cuff Repair: The Shoelace Technique.

Project description:The concept of margin convergence for side-to-side strain reduction in massive U-type rotator cuff tears has been used to protect the free margin repair to bone. Data in the literature show favorable outcomes for this method of repair. However, one of the challenges when performing side-to-side repair has been the dog-ear deformity that forms at both the convergence split and marginal ends. We present a method of single-suture convergence using a "shoelace" weaving technique, which seems to decrease the incidence of dog-ear deformity, decreases margin strain, and can be incorporated into current transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repair configurations. The technique is simple and reproducible for large or massive tear patterns.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 rotator cuff tears using extracellular matrix graft.

Project description:Despite advances in surgical technology, as well as generally good outcomes, repairs of full-thickness rotator cuff tears show a retear rate of 25% to 57% and may fail to provide full return of function. The repairs tend to fail at the suture-tendon junction, which is due to several factors, including tension at the repair site, quality of the tendon, and defective tissue repair. One strategy to augment repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears is the development of biological scaffold materials, composed of extracellular matrix (ECM). The goal is to strengthen and evenly distribute the mechanical load across the repair site, thus minimizing the rupture risk of the native tendon while providing the biological elements needed for healing. The promising results of ECM-derived materials and their commercial availability have increased their popularity among shoulder surgeons. In contrast to a traditional open or arthroscopically assisted mini-open approach, this completely arthroscopic technique offers the full advantages warranted by the use of a minimally invasive approach. This technical guide describes arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using an ECM graft technique.
