Rotator Interval Plication: The "Seamster" Technique.

ABSTRACT: The indications and best technique for plication of the rotator interval capsule, performed as a supplemental procedure at the time of arthroscopic shoulder stabilization, remain a controversial topic. There are currently no well-accepted surgical indication guidelines that have been established. Several biomechanical studies, however, have demonstrated the important contribution of the rotator interval capsule to stability of the glenohumeral joint, and the utilization of rotator interval plication in patients with glenohumeral instability has been supported in several publications. The indications for and surgical steps to accomplish the arthroscopic "seamster" technique for rotator interval plication, used by the authors for >20 years, is described.

Rotator Cerclage Technique for Partial Rotator Cuff Ruptures.

Project description:The frequency of partial rotator cuff tears is gradually increasing because of the advancements in imaging methods and arthroscopy techniques. One of the repair techniques is repair of the partial rotator cuff tear by conversion to a full-thickness tear. Another technique, the transtendon technique, has some practical challenges and risks. We attempted to develop a practical and easy technique with low morbidity to repair partial tears called the rotator cerclage technique.

Arthroscopic medial retinacular plication with a needle-hole technique.

Project description:Patellar instability is a common problem resulting in anterior knee pain. The medial patellofemoral ligament, which is part of the medial retinaculum, is often injured, and this damaged structure can affect normal patellar movement. Medial retinacular plication can correct this main pathology of patellar instability. Many studies have shown good to excellent results with medial retinacular plication with or without lateral retinacular release. This medial retinacular plication technique can also be performed arthroscopically. Arthroscopic medial reticular plication with a needle-hole technique is a treatment that uses the less invasive technique of arthroscopy, does not require tissue grafts, and has a greater cosmetic advantage than open procedures.

All-Arthroscopic Modified Rotator Interval Slide for Massive Anterosuperior Cuff Tears Using the Subdeltoid Space: Surgical Technique and Early Results.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Traditional intra-articular arthroscopic repair techniques for massive anterosuperior rotator cuff tears are technically demanding and necessitate sacrifice of the rotator interval to enable visualization. An interval slide allows mobilization through release of the medial aspect of the rotator interval, while leaving the lateral, bridging fibers intact. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES:The purpose of this study was to report a novel, arthroscopic, open-equivalent technique using the subdeltoid space to address these tears along with early clinical results. METHODS:A retrospective review of prospectively collected data identified 11 consecutive arthroscopic massive anterosuperior rotator cuff repairs with a concomitant biceps tenodesis performed by the senior surgeon using a uniform technique. Outcome measures included range of motion, visual analog scale for pain, rotator cuff strength, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) outcome scale, and Short Form-12 (SF-12). RESULTS:Average length of follow-up was 22.2 months (range 12.5-30.0 months). Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, ASES, and SF-12 all demonstrated significant improvement from pre-op to final follow-up from 6.2 to 0.9 (p?<?0.05), 27.4 to 82.8 (p?<?0.05), and 26.6 to 45.5 (p?<?0.05) respectively. Average forward flexion improved from 145° to 160° (p?<?0.05). Seven of the nine patients with a positive preoperative belly press had a negative test at final follow-up. Nine of the 10 patients with a positive lift off test demonstrated a negative test on final follow-up. Ninety-one percent reported they were satisfied with their outcome. CONCLUSIONS:The described modified all-arthroscopic subdeltoid approach for anterosuperior cuff repairs enabled an open-equivalent interval slide technique that preserved the bridging lateral fibers of the rotator interval and demonstrated promising early-term clinical results.

Rectus muscle plication using an adjustable suture technique.

Project description:Rectus muscle plication is an alternative muscle-strengthening procedure to rectus muscle resection. Possible advantages of rectus muscle plication include a lower risk of "lost" muscles and anterior segment ischemia.This was a retrospective case series describing a surgical procedure for rectus muscle plication using an adjustable suture technique that can be used on any of the four rectus muscles.A total of 5 adult patients underwent adjustable suture plication procedures. Of these, 2 patients required suture adjustment postoperatively. At the final follow-up visit, all the patients maintained satisfactory ocular alignment within 6(?) of orthotropia for horizontal deviations and 2(?) of orthotropia for vertical deviations. Diplopia was eliminated in all cases with preoperative diplopia. There were no postoperative complications or unexpected shifts in ocular alignment.Rectus muscle plication using this adjustable suture technique may serve as an alternative to rectus muscle resection and may be particularly useful in patients who are at risk for anterior segment ischemia or those in whom a shorter anesthesia time is recommended.

Isolated arthroscopic rotator interval closure for shoulder instability.

Project description:We present our technique for isolated arthroscopic rotator interval closure in the treatment of mild symptomatic glenohumeral instability in the absence of a labral tear. A careful history, physical examination, and imaging help to identify a select subset of atraumatic instability patients who may benefit from this procedure, and diagnostic arthroscopy can provide further evidence. By use of a posterior viewing portal with anterior and anterolateral working portals, the anterior capsuloligamentous complex is mobilized, and the rotator interval is closed with carefully placed sutures to advance the capsule superiorly and provide tension through decreased capsular volume.

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.

The Quebec City Slider: A Technique for Capsular Closure and Plication in Hip Arthroscopy.

Project description:Biomechanical and clinical studies have shown that the hip joint capsule plays an important role in maintaining stability and hip mechanics, including rotation and translation. The recent literature has shown that capsule closure after hip arthroscopy helps to restore stability. Without restoration of the native anatomy, the hip joint may translate when patients engage in activities that place force across the hip, leading to either microinstability or frank dislocation. The purpose of this note is to describe our preferred technique of capsular closure or plication during hip arthroscopy.

Arthroscopic Technique of Capsular Plication for the Treatment of Hip Instability.

Project description:Atraumatic instability or microinstability of the hip is a recognized cause of groin pain and hip instability. Risk factors include female sex, ligamentous laxity, and borderline dysplasia. Arthroscopically, the joint may distract easily, and there may be associated ligamentum teres tears and laxity of the capsule on manual probing. The use of arthroscopic capsular plication in this cohort of patients has shown good to excellent results. Biomechanically, a capsular plication aims to create an imbrication and inferior shift of the capsule to augment the screw-home mechanism of the capsuloligamentous structures and thereby improve stability in extension and external rotation. The purpose of this article is to detail the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic capsular plication, in addition to the indications, pearls, and pitfalls of the technique.

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.
