Arthroscopic-Assisted Pectoralis Minor Transfer for Irreparable Anterosuperior Massive Rotator Cuff Tear.

ABSTRACT: An irreparable anterosuperior massive rotator cuff tear with an irreparable subscapularis tear is not common; however, once symptomatic, it would become a challenging situation. Tendon transfer is a choice and the pectoralis major is a commonly selected graft source. However, there are theoretical concerns over its use: high invasiveness and low reproducibility, different force vector from the subscapularis, unsuitability for the arthroscopic modification, and difficulty in conversion to the reverse shoulder arthroplasty due to adhesions and scar formation in the anterior shoulder. Recently, open pectoralis minor transfer has been advocated as an alternative reconstruction option. We describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique of pectoralis minor transfer for irreparable anterosuperior massive rotator cuff tear.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction Technique in the Setting of a Massive, Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears are challenging to treat and associated with pain and severe limitation in shoulder elevation due to the proximal migration of the humeral head and, consequently, subacromial impingement. Furthermore, retraction of the tendons in combination with fat infiltration and muscular weakness results in unpredictable treatment outcomes. While conservative treatment may be warranted for low-demand patients, surgical treatment is often indicated for a successful return to activities of daily living as well as an improved quality of life. The reported failure rate of rotator cuff repair for the treatment of a massive rotator cuff tear varies. However, this failure is often found at the interface between the tendon and tendon footprint. Several techniques have been reported to address this pathology, including muscular transfer, arthroscopic debridement, augmentation procedures, and superior capsule reconstruction. In particular, superior capsule reconstruction has been reported as a safe and effective method to treat a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique of a superior capsule reconstruction for the treatment of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:We have been performing arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with acellular dermal allograft for almost 2 years. Our techniques are based on Mihata's original concept for SCR, in which he used fascia lata autograft. In this report, we describe our standard arthroscopic technique as well as 2 variations of a "zip-line" technique, which we have found particularly useful for large dermal allografts (grafts that are ≥40 mm in any dimension).

Arthroscopic-Assisted Anterior Latissimus Dorsi Transfer for Irreparable Anterior Rotator Cuff Tear: A Technical Note.

Project description:Several reconstruction techniques for irreparable tears of the subscapularis tendon have been described with variable results regarding pain relief, functional recovery, and dynamic stabilization of the glenohumeral joint. Because of a more advantageous direction of movement compared with previously described transfer techniques such as transfer of the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor tendons, the anterior latissimus dorsi (LD) transfer has been proposed as a potentially beneficial treatment method. This Technical Note aims to introduce an alternative technique for the anterior LD transfer that combines the advantages of a proper muscle release and tendon reinforcement through an axillary incision with the arthroscopic intra-articular and periarticular work, including detachment of the LD tendon from its humeral insertion and reattachment at the lesser tuberosity.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer for Massive Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tears: Surgical Technique.

Project description:Tendon transfer options to reconstruct a massive irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear include latissimus dorsi, teres major, or lower trapezius transfer. We previously described the lower trapezius transfer using a 2-incision approach, which includes a medial incision to harvest the lower trapezius and lateral transacromial incision to expose the rotator cuff and then perform the transfer through a deep tunnel connecting these 2 sites. In this report, we describe an arthroscopic-assisted technique of lower trapezius transfer augmented with an Achilles tendon allograft to reconstruct an irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear.

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Treatment of Massive, Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Massive tears of the rotator cuff can result in severe functional deficits due to loss of the axial force couple and effective fulcrum that the intact cuff normally provides. For massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears, especially in the setting of early to moderate degenerative changes, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty functions to modify the center of joint rotation, allowing the deltoid and intact components of the cuff to carry out shoulder function more effectively. Our preferred technique uses a standard open deltopectoral shoulder approach with a 3-dimensional glenoid baseplate model and a 135° prosthesis in an onlay configuration to reduce the risk of scapular notching and increase lateralization of the humerus.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Treatment of Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears have been troublesome entities to treat, especially in younger patients. Few good options exist, leaving most patients in recent years receiving a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty carries serious risks, a limited lifespan, and no other viable options should it fail. Recent biomechanical studies have shown that the superior capsule is critical to containing the glenohumeral joint reduced, allowing the larger muscles like the deltoid and pectoralis major to function properly. The superior capsular reconstruction is an anatomic reconstruction of the superior capsule to restore the normal restraint to superior translation that occurs with a deficient rotator cuff. The technique described in this article is an arthroscopic reconstruction of the superior capsule with dermal allograft.

Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer With Acromial Osteotomy for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer is an effective option for young and active patients with massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears and intact subscapularis tendon. This approach has been shown to relieve pain and improve shoulder function in both the short and long term. We describe a surgical technique using an acromial osteotomy to better expose the greater tuberosity for the tendon transfer without disrupting the deltoid muscle. The latissimus dorsi tendon is reinforced with a human dermal collagen matrix (GraftJacket; Wright Medical Group) for additional augmentation of the muscle to gain more excursion for the tendon transfer to the greater tuberosity. The transferred tendon is fixed to the supraspinatus and infraspinatus footprints on the greater tuberosity using suture anchors. The acromial osteotomy is repaired back anatomically with several No. 5 braided sutures (FiberWire; Arthrex).

Rooting Rotator Cuff Reconstruction for Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear is encountered quite often in clinical practice. Bridging the tendon defect with various materials is reasonable. However, optimal bridging structures and techniques are still being pursued. We introduce a rotator cuff bridging technique, rooting rotator cuff reconstruction. In this technique, autogenous tendon is used to make grafts. On the medial side, the graft tendons are suspended on the rotator cuff tendon. On the lateral side, the graft tendons are placed into tunnels through the tuberosities. The most critical steps of this technique are properly fabricating the humeral tunnels and suspending the graft tendons onto the rotator cuff tendon. We believe this technique will shed light on rotator cuff reconstruction.

Consider Long Head of Biceps Tendon for Reconstruction of Massive, Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Despite the different treatment options for irreparable and massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs), there is no optimal treatment. Thirty percent of total RCTs can be classified as irreparable because of the massive tear size and severe muscle atrophy. The reported treatment failure rate is approximately 40% for massive RCTs. RCTs may be treated conservatively or surgically depending on pain, disability, and functional demands. The surgical treatment options are many, but decision making is a challenge; the real challenge is to apply the correct procedure for the correct indication in each patient. The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) was used for augmentation to bridge the gap in immobile, massive RCTs. An arthroscopic biceps-incorporating technique was used for repair of large and massive RCTs, avoiding undue tension on the rotator cuff (RC). Recently, the LHBT was used for superior capsular reconstruction. This article describes the use of the LHBT for reconstruction of massive and irreparable RCTs through the following steps: (1) open exposure of the RCT, (2) debridement and subacromial decompression, (3) biceps tenotomy at the LHBT's origin on the glenoid, (4) LHBT and RC cuff mobilization, (5) passage of the LHBT through the mobilized RC and reflection onto itself, (6) tuberoplasty, and (7) fixation of the RC complex at the RC footprint.
