The Chinese Knot Stitch Technique Using a Footprint Ultrasuture Anchor for Rotator Cuff Repair.

ABSTRACT: Management of the rotator cuff presents specific challenges to orthopaedic surgeons. Several locking suture methods have been reported but often fail for a number of reasons. We describe a different technique that is easy to perform and inspired by the Chinese knot, an arthroscopic double-locking suture using a footprint ultrasuture anchor. This technique is similar to the suture-bridge structure on the bursal side of the tendon in that it increases tissue grip and stabilizes initial tendon-to-bone fixation. This technique is especially suitable for the patients who have bursal-side partial-thickness or degenerative small- and medium-sized rotator cuff tears.

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.

The Simple Cow Hitch Stitch Technique for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair and Stabilization Using Knotless Suture Anchors.

Project description:The tissue-suture interface is the most vulnerable and challenging part of adequate restoration and fixation in rotator cuff repair. We describe a simple stitch technique for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using knotless suture anchors based on the cow hitch. The simple cow hitch stitch technique is easy to perform, especially under difficult conditions, and provides excellent initial fixation strength as required for integration of the reinserted cuff and for shoulder stabilization.

Arthroscopic double-locked stitch: a new technique for suturing rotator cuff tears.

Project description:There are a number of reasons for failed rotator cuff tear repair. In such cases the suture-tendon interface seems to be the most vulnerable area, especially when tendon degeneration is present. We describe a new technique, the arthroscopic double-locked suture, that increases the tendon fixation and has the added benefit of being placed parallel to the blood vessels, therefore avoiding damage to the tendon vascularization. The suture may be achieved by use of knots or knotless anchors and suture passers, without the need for any additional instrumentation. The new technique is especially helpful in cases in which the tendon is retracted and degeneration is present, impeding the use of the double-row technique or its transosseous equivalents.

Simultaneous rotator cuff repair and arthroscopic biceps tenodesis using lateral row anchor.

Project description:Treatment of concomitant long head of the biceps pathology in the setting of rotator cuff repair is often required. When a tenodesis of the biceps is used, additional anchors and surgical dissection are typically required. This adds additional surgical time, morbidity of additional surgical dissection, and additional anchor load and cost. We describe a novel technique for arthroscopic biceps tenodesis that uses the anterior lateral row anchor of a double-row rotator cuff repair to simultaneously secure the biceps tenodesis and rotator cuff tear. This technique provides a simple, reproducible, cost-effective means of performing a simultaneous biceps tenodesis and double-row rotator cuff repair.

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.

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.

Tear characteristics and surgeon influence repair technique and suture anchor use in repair of superior-posterior rotator cuff tendon tears.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The factors that associate with surgical decisions about repair technique and the number of suture anchors used in rotator cuff repair have not been previously investigated. This study investigated the extent to which patient, surgeon, and surgical factors associate with performing single-row vs. double-row repair technique and ultimately with the number of suture anchors used. METHODS:Our institution's prospective surgical cohort was queried for patients undergoing suture anchor repair of superior-posterior rotator cuff tendon tears between February 2015 and August 2017. Exclusion criteria were patients with isolated subscapularis tears, tears that were not repaired, repairs without suture anchors, repairs involving graft augmentation, and repairs by surgeons with fewer than 10 cases. Multivariable statistical modeling was used to investigate associations between patient and surgical factors and the choice of repair technique and number of suture anchors used. RESULTS:A total of 925 cases performed by 13 surgeons met inclusion criteria. Tear type (full thickness), tear size (medium, large, and massive), a greater number of torn tendons, repair type (arthroscopic), and surgeon were significantly associated with performing a double-row over a single-row repair. Tear size, a greater number of torn tendons, double-row repair technique, and surgeon were significantly associated with a greater number of anchors used for repair. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings suggest that in the absence of data to conclusively support a clinical benefit of one repair technique over another, surgeons' training, experience, and inherent practice patterns become the primary factors that define their surgical methods.

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.

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.

Supraspinatus Rotator Cuff Repair: A Mouse Model and Technique.

Project description:To improve understanding of the pathophysiology of rotator cuff repair and develop therapeutic treatments an animal model is essential. This Technical Note describes a comprehensive step-by-step description of rotator cuff repair in the mouse. This technique is particularly beneficial because the murine rotator cuff is anatomically similar to that of humans. The mouse model can also be used to test the biological role of candidate genes during repair and be used to identify drugs that accelerate the healing process.
