Double Row-Equivalent PASTA Repair Technique.

ABSTRACT: Articular surface partial rotator cuff tendon tears are a common source of shoulder pain and dysfunction, and there is no consensus regarding the optimal arthroscopic treatment. Commonly accepted techniques, such as transtendinous repair or tear takedown with primary repair, may violate healthy tendon tissue and increase the suture anchor density. In this note, we describe an outside-in double row-equivalent technique for repair of partial articular-sided rotator cuff tears. A medial row of inverted horizontal mattress stitches is placed percutaneously using spinal needles to shuttle partially absorbable braided sutures into the joint. The technique may incorporate a soft tissue biceps tenodesis into the rotator cuff with a second, oblique medial row mattress stitch. Suture limbs are retrieved and tied in the subacromial space and then secured to a lateral anchor. The result is a side-to-side double row-equivalent rotator cuff repair, anatomically reproducing the footprint of the rotator cuff without removing healthy tissue. We believe this is an efficient and reproducible technique that preserves intact bursal tissue, limits implant costs, and produces reliable healing in partial articular-sided tears of the rotator cuff.

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.

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.

Arthroscopic Transtendinous Modified Double-Row Suture Bridge Repair of a Bony PASTA Lesion.

Project description:Surgical and conservative management of partial tears of the rotator cuff has long been a controversial topic for many generations of shoulder surgeons. These tears frequently occur on both the articular and bursal surfaces and within the intrasubstance of the rotator cuff. The term "PASTA lesion" describes the partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion-type injury. A less common variant of this injury is the bony PASTA lesion or partial articular bony avulsion of the supraspinatus tendon (PABAST).

Arthroscopic Bony Bankart Repair Using a Double-Row Double-Pulley Technique.

Project description:We propose an arthroscopic technique called "double-row double-pulley" to restore a bony Bankart lesion. This technique is a 2-point fixation construct using the sutures from a medial row anchor at the glenoid neck to wrap around the bony Bankart fragment and tie to the sutures from a lateral row anchor at the glenoid rim with the double-pulley method. This technique may present some difficulty with suture management, but there are several advantages. First, due to the 2-point fixation, the risk of a bone piece fracture from direct penetration is minimized. Moreover, the fragment can be reduced directly due to the multiple knots that are tied sequentially over the bony fragment.

"Double-Row Rip-Stop" Technique for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff repair depends on both the fixation strength of the chosen repair construct and the local healing response of the repaired tissue. Among a growing discussion surrounding the superiority of one surgical technique over another, the surgeon's ability to complete a rotator cuff repair with technical acuity in a timely manner remains paramount. Double-row repairs as well as rip-stop configurations have been proposed to limit failures found after arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs. Implementation of both techniques during arthroscopic shoulder surgery may represent a technical challenge for the average orthopaedist. The purpose of this article is to give simple instructions for reproduction of an arthroscopic double-row rip-stop repair for rotator cuff fixation.

The Arthroscopic "Montgolfier Double-Row Knotless" Rotator Cuff Repair Technique.

Project description:Contemporary arthroscopic double-row suture anchor rotator cuff repairs have superior biomechanics compared with prior iterations. Numerous techniques have been described, but consensus regarding value has yet to be established. We describe an effective and easily reproducible technique: the arthroscopic "Montgolfier double-row" repair technique. This knotless construct has an evenly distributed, load-sharing, radially oriented suture limb configuration much like the envelope cables of a Montgolfier hot-air balloon, its namesake. Other advantages include the ability to apply manual, progressive and calculated tension on each suture limb and easy intraoperative modification depending on tear size, shape, and delamination, as well as tissue tension and quality. Future studies are needed to validate the biomechanics and clinical outcomes of this technique.

Double-Row Repair Technique for Bursal-Sided Partial-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Rotator cuff pathology is a common cause of shoulder pain in the athletic and general population. Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCT) are commonly encountered and can be bursal-sided, articular-sided, or intratendinous. Various techniques exist for the repair of bursal-sided PTRCTs. The 2 main distinctions when addressing these lesions include tear completion versus preservation of the intact fibers, and single- versus double-row suture anchor fixation. We present our method for addressing bursal-sided PTRCTs using an in situ repair technique with double-row suture anchors.

Transtendon, double-row, transosseous-equivalent arthroscopic repair of partial-thickness, articular-surface rotator cuff tears.

Project description:Arthroscopic transtendinous techniques for the arthroscopic repair of partial-thickness, articular-surface rotator cuff tears offer the advantage of minimizing the disruption of the patient's remaining rotator cuff tendon fibers. In addition, double-row fixation of full-thickness rotator cuff tears has shown biomechanical advantages. We present a novel method combining these 2 techniques for transtendon, double-row, transosseous-equivalent arthroscopic repair of partial-thickness, articular-surface rotator cuff tears. Direct visualization of the reduction of the retracted articular tendon layer to its insertion on the greater tuberosity is the key to the procedure. Linking the medial-row anchors and using a double-row construct provide a stable repair that allows early shoulder motion to minimize the risk of postoperative stiffness.

Aquarium Portal Technique for PASTA Lesion Repair.

Project description:The simultaneous arthroscopic exposure of the subacromial and intra-articular space of the shoulder is challenging in the presence of only partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. We present our experience and method of entering the joint through the opened rotator cuff interval from an anterosuperior portal between the coracoid process and anterior acromion. With moderate (approximately 30°) abduction and external rotation, the rotator interval opens readily, offering a view with the camera toward the anterior edge of the supraspinatus tendon. An anterior view on the anterior leading edge of the supraspinatus tendon is obtained, showing the subacromial space above and the glenohumeral space below the tendon, similar to the view in an aquarium. The rotator cuff can be elevated using a rod inserted intra-articularly from posterior, whereas anchors and other instruments may be inserted from lateral. This approach offers the advantages of full exposure of the posterior undersurface of the rotator cuff insertion; a convenient approximately 90° angle between the camera and instruments; and no need to change portals for anchor placement, tendon stitching, or suture handling. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe our arthroscopic repair approach (aquarium technique) to PASTA (partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion) lesions.
