Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Allograft Augmentation: Making It Simple.

ABSTRACT: Rotator cuff tears are increasing in frequency in the aging population and are a common issue seen by orthopaedic surgeons. In patients with large, multi-tendon rotator cuff tears or retears, treatment can be challenging. Failure rates of up to 90% have been reported for rotator cuff repair (RCR) of large, multi-tendon tears. Biological augmentation has been an area of interest because of the distinctly different biology of the repaired tendon compared with the native tendon. These biological differences affect the ultimate tensile properties of the repair and may contribute to gap formation and the high failure rate of repairs. RCR with allograft augmentation is a technique that shows potential benefit to healing and preventing retears. Arthroscopic augmentation of RCRs can be challenging. The technique described in this Technical Note illustrates a simple and easily reproducible method for augmenting RCRs with human acellular dermal allograft.

Augmentation of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Cannulated Dermal Allograft Implant.

Project description:Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) is a popular treatment for rotator cuff tears. Retear after RCR remains a significant concern even with modern techniques. Augmentation of RCR has been described using multiple different grafts, one option including a cannulated dermal allograft implant (DePuy Mitek). The utilization of this implant avoids significantly increased surgical time, allows for augmentation at the weakest area of repair, and does not lead to any wasted allograft material.

Arthroscopic Knotless Rotator Cuff Repair With Decellularized Dermal Allograft Augmentation: The "Canopy" Technique.

Project description:Repairability and clinical outcomes of full-thickness rotator cuff tears rely on tendon mobility, tissue quality, and subsequent tension on a repair. While repair of rotator cuff tears tend to yield excellent clinical results, poor tissue quality has been an important factor that has hampered successful outcomes. This Technical Note describes a double-row rotator cuff repair using a SpeedBridge configuration with dermal allograft "canopy" augmentation to bolster the repairable but thinned rotator cuff tissue. This technique employs a unique graft fixation strategy to simplify the procedure. This approach could provide surgeons with a great option when faced with mobile but thinned rotator cuff tissue.

An augmentation suture technique for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Project description:The double-row suture technique and the suture-bridge technique have been used for rotator cuff repair to decrease the occurrence of retears. However, when only the degenerated tendon end is sutured, the risk of retear remains. The augmentation suture technique is a new procedure that connects the intact medial tendon to the lateral greater tuberosity, and this approach may protect the initial repair site. The procedures for this technique are as follows: 2 sutures are placed through the medial intact tendon, the cuff tear is repaired by the single-row technique, 2 sutures are pulled laterally over the single-row repair site, and 2 sutures are fixed at the lateral greater tuberosity with a push-in-type anchor. This technique is simple and easy and does not require special equipment. Moreover, this approach can augment the single-row repair technique without creating high tension at the cuff end.

Biological Augmentation With Subacromial Bursa in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff tears can be associated with significant shoulder dysfunction and pain. Despite improved surgical techniques and new materials for rotator cuff reconstruction, there is no significant reduction in the re-rupture rate. Innovative approaches for enhanced tendon healing are required. The potential of biologically optimized tendon integration has probably been insufficiently explored so far. The existing practice of debridement might eliminate repair tissue and a major source of cells and blood vessels necessary for tendon healing. Biological augmentation may be an option to improve the healing process. The subacromial bursa is a highly proliferative tissue with mesenchymal stem cells capable of differentiating into various cell lines and is easily accessible during rotator cuff repair. We describe the technique of bursal augmentation in arthroscopic double-row SutureBridge repair of a posterosuperior rotator cuff tear with the aim of improving tendon-to-bone healing.

Arthroscopic Biological Augmentation for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: The Biceps-Cuff-Bursa Composite Repair.

Project description:Surgical repair of massive and chronic rotator cuff tears is difficult due to tendon retraction and severe atrophy, and the resultant retear rate in the structurally weak tendons is high. Commercially available patches and bioinductive scaffolds have been used to provide strength and superior healing environment in partial and complete rotator cuff tears. Biological biceps autograft has been used for superior capsular reconstruction, and the subacromial bursa has been shown to have significant pluripotent stem cell potency for tendon healing. We describe our technique for combined use of the long biceps tendon (LBT) and vasculature-preserved subacromial bursa as autografts in rotator cuff repair augmentation. The technique involves obtaining a LBT graft of sufficient length using a "traction and tenodesis" technique. The subacromial bursa is mobilized as a continuous layer (vascular bursal duvet) by maintaining its medial and lateral vascularity. All-suture anchors are used to minimize the insertion apertures (3 mm) in tuberosity. The bursa is advanced laterally, and the mobilized cuff is repaired together as a biceps-cuff-bursa composite unit. Combined use of the biceps and bursa as biological autografts has the advantage of structural and regenerative augmentation, and the autografts are easily accessible without added cost.

Biologic Augmentation of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Using Minced Autologous Subacromial Bursa.

Project description:Failure of rotator cuff repair surgery can be attributed to a variety of factors, including insufficient biologic environment to support healing. The subacromial bursal tissue has been shown to have a reservoir of mesenchymal stem cells and is a potential source for biologic augmentation during rotator cuff repair. We have developed a technique to capture the subacromial bursal tissue during subacromial bursectomy and then reimplant the tissue on the bursal surface of the rotator cuff tendon after rotator cuff repair. Our goal is to describe our technique of subacromial tissue collection and reimplantation that obviates the need of suturing a whole sleeve of bursal tissue while improving cell yield for rotator cuff healing.

Transtendinous Rotator Cuff Tear Repair with Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate Dermal Allograft Augmentation.

Project description:Rotator cuff tears involving the musculotendinous junction with a significant amount of tendon still attached to the footprint laterally represent a challenging scenario for shoulder arthroscopists. Because of these challenges, adjunctive techniques to bridge tissue gaps may be required, and biologic augmentation may be considered to improve the healing environment. The following technique presents a stepwise approach to accomplishing the dual goals of a stable anatomic repair and biologic augmentation of this difficult pattern of rotator cuff pathology.

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.

The "Pull-Over" Technique for All Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Extracellular Matrix Augmentation.

Project description:Despite the vast improvement in techniques for arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery, repairs of massive and large tears remain an issue as they are associated with significantly high failure rates, particularly in the elderly population. As a result, there has been a focus of attention to improve rotator cuff repair healing rates. One of the strategies is augmentation of the repair with a patch. Arthroscopic augmentation is, however, technically demanding with challenges in introduction and stabilization of the patch. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a technique for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with augmentation, which offers additional advantages over previous techniques because it facilitates the passage of the patch as well as providing a more robust medial stabilization of the augment and therefore possibly a stronger construct.
