True Transosseous Hybrid Rotator Cuff Repair.

ABSTRACT: 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).

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.

Arthroscopic, Needle-Based, Transosseous Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Although open transosseous repair was historically used as a gold-standard surgical solution for rotator cuff tears, this procedure was largely replaced by anchor-based techniques because of the advancement of arthroscopic surgery. However, the ability of anchor-based repair to achieve similar biomechanical fixation remains uncertain. Despite the proposals of numerous methods over the last decade, there remains demand for a standard, reliable technique that integrates the biomechanical advantages of transosseous fixation within the realm of arthroscopy. We describe a technique for transosseous rotator cuff repair using the Omnicuff, a needle-based transosseous suture-passing device that minimizes the risk of failure of suture passage between the bone tunnels. With potential advantages of this design including automated-assisted suture passage, improved bone-tendon healing, and anchorless fixation, surgeons may be inclined to consider these biomechanical and cost-saving benefits. Future studies are warranted to determine clinical outcomes of this technique and its suitability for tears of varying degrees and patterns.

Physeal-Sparing Transosseous-Equivalent Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff injuries in the skeletally immature population are uncommon, with most tears resulting from trauma or overuse in throwing athletes. Although the literature has referenced multiple repair methods in the pediatric population, an arthroscopic physeal-sparing technique has yet to be described. Given the proximity of the proximal humerus growth plate to the typical anchor placement during rotator cuff repair, we advocate a technique that avoids violation of the proximal humeral physis. Our technique shows an arthroscopic physeal-sparing repair using standard arthroscopic equipment and fluoroscopy.

Rotator Cuff Repair Technique With Transosseous Knotless Anchor System.

Project description:Various surgical techniques exist for rotator cuff repair that provide a suitable environment for tendon-bone healing. Arthroscopic recreation of transosseous repairs, which had previously been performed by open or miniopen techniques, can now be performed; however, arthroscopic, transosseous passage of suture material can be challenging technically. There are potential biologic and cost-saving advantages of arthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair that make an efficient and reproducible technique desirable for arthroscopists. The technique for arthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair using a knotless anchor-based system is demonstrated in the current Technical Note. Potential advantages of this construct include excellent biomechanics, enhanced footprint vascularization, and utility in poor bone quality while using minimal anchor numbers. Further studies will be needed to elucidate healing rates and clinical outcomes.

Tripod Technique to Augment Transosseous Equivalent Rotator Cuff Repair

Project description:The transosseous-equivalent Speedbridge™ technique is commonly used during rotator cuff repair; however, the soft bone of the lateral humerus may result in toggling of the lateral row anchors with subsequent de-tensioning of the repair. The technique presented here uses an additional third-row anchor, in a tripod fashion, that reduces the forces on the lateral humerus anchors and protects the repair. Technique Video Video 1 Intraoperative video demonstrating the tripod technique to augment transosseous equivalent rotator cuff repair. This is performed on the patient’s left shoulder, and the patient is in the lateral decubitus position.

Arthroscopic Transosseous Repair of Rotator Cuff Tear and Greater Tuberosity Cysts.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the short-term outcomes of rotator cuff repair in the presence of a greater tuberosity cyst (GTC) using a transosseous repair technique.MethodsThis study included patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff tear repair with a transosseous technique and were evaluated clinically and by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after 1 year. The inclusion criteria were based on the results of preoperative MRI and were as follows: patients identified as having a repairable full-thickness rotator cuff tear associated with the presence of cystic changes at the tendon insertion site of the greater tuberosity, defined as a GTC involving the footprint area of the torn tendon (supraspinatus and/or infraspinatus tendons).ResultsWe evaluated 25 patients. The mean preoperative and postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores were 39.48 (P = .530) and 84.64 (P = .035), respectively; Constant shoulder scores, 38.96 (P < .005) and 80.28 (P = .425), respectively; and University of California-Los Angeles shoulder rating scale scores, 10.6 (P = .045) and 29.04 (P = .315), respectively. The GTC mapping system was easily adopted in all the MRI examinations independently from the quality of the images. The GTCs were mostly located in the superficial anterolateral section of the humeral head and in both the posterolateral sections (superficial and deep).ConclusionsArthroscopic transosseous rotator cuff repair led to significant mid-term improvement and satisfactory subjective outcomes with low complication and failure rates in this study. The GTC mapping system could be useful to evaluate GTCs and to aid surgeons in the choice of the best surgical technique.Level of evidenceLevel IV, therapeutic case series.

Arthroscopic Transosseous Anchorless Rotator Cuff Repair Using the X-Box Technique.

Project description:We describe a reproducible, step-by-step arthroscopic technique for anchorless transosseous rotator cuff repair using an X-box configuration with the Arthrotunneler device. The technique uses 2 bone tunnels and 4 high-strength sutures and is suitable for medium to large tears of the supra- and infraspinatus that would alternatively need a double-row repair with 4 anchors. Biomechanically, results appear to be similar as for anchored transosseous equivalent techniques. Enhanced biological healing and lower material costs are the possible benefits of this appealing arthroscopic approach that mimics the previous gold standard.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Double-Row Transosseous Equivalent Suture Bridge Technique.

Project description:Following a failed course of conservative management, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) has become the gold standard treatment for patients presenting with symptomatic rotator cuff (RC) tears. Traditionally, the single-row repair technique was used. Although most patients enjoy good to excellent clinical outcomes, structural healing to bone remains problematic. As a result, orthopaedic surgeons have sought to improve outcomes with various technological and technical advancements. One such possible advancement is the double-row technique. We present a method for repairing an RC tear using double-row suture anchors in a transosseous equivalent suture bridge technique. The double-row technique is believed to more effectively re-create the anatomic footprint of the tendon, as well as increase tendon to bone surface area, and apposition for healing. However, it requires longer operating times and is costlier. This report highlights this technique for ARCR in an adult by using a double-row transosseous equivalent suture bridge.

Arthroscopic Knotless Separate Layer Transosseous Equivalent Repair of Delaminated Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Delamination of rotator cuff tears presents a challenge for surgeons. Recognizing and repairing such a complex tear pattern often require innovative approaches to achieve an anatomic restoration of footprint. In this Technical Note, we described our preferred method that anatomically repairs both layers of delaminated rotator cuff tear separately in a knotless transosseous equivalent technique. Two sutures are placed to the articular layer in a cinch stitch configuration. Then, closed-loop end sutures are passed through both layers while keeping the closed-loop end at the working portal. The free ends of cinch stitches are loaded to anchors with a preloaded fiber tape loop, which is placed to the medial row while approximating the articular layer onto its footprint. Fiber tapes are then shuttled through both layers of tendon with the help of a previously placed closed-loop suture. Finally, the lateral row anchors are placed while fiber tapes are tensioned in a cross-bridge configuration. We believe that this technique may facilitate uneventful healing of delaminated rotator cuffs by providing the biomechanical properties of transosseous equivalent repair.

A Novel Arthroscopic Transosseous Procedure for Rotator Cuff Repair: An Economical Freehand Method.

Project description:Open transosseous repair was historically considered the gold-standard surgical solution for rotator cuff tears; however, with advancements in arthroscopic surgery, this procedure was largely replaced by anchor-based techniques. Yet, the ability of anchor-based techniques to achieve similar biomechanical fixation remains uncertain.In this article, we describe a reproducible, economical, arthroscopic anchorless transosseous rotator cuff repair technique that uses an Omega configuration. This technique involves two bone tunnels and four high-strength polyethylene sutures and is suitable for medium-to-large rotator cuff tears that would alternatively need multiple anchors. This procedure not only maximizes the tendon-footprint contact area without using any implanted device but also theoretically lowers the bone laceration rate and is cost effective. In the current Technical Note, the procedure is described in detail along with several tips and tricks.ClassificationsLevel I, shoulder; Level II, rotator cuff.
