"Strings" (Multiple Tendon Interposition Autografts) for Reconstruction of Presumably Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

ABSTRACT: Irreparable rotator cuff tears are challenging to treat. Especially in younger patients without concomitant osteoarthritic changes, joint-preserving procedures are warranted. To date, no treatment guideline exists because none of the available techniques has shown superiority over the others, and long-term survivorship data are missing. The aim of the "Strings" is to provide an arthroscopic solution to anatomically reconstruct presumably irreparable rotator cuff tears by bridging the gap with multiple string-like tendon interposition autografts.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears in young patients are a particular challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Surgical treatment options include debridement, partial rotator cuff repair, patch-augmented rotator cuff repair, bridging rotator cuff reconstruction with graft interposition, tendon transfer, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Recently, reconstruction of the superior glenohumeral capsule using a fascia lata autograft has been suggested to reduce superior glenohumeral translation and restore superior stability. Promising clinical results have been reported in 1 case series of 23 patients, indicating that superior capsular reconstruction may be a promising tool to manage massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. This article describes our preferred technique for arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction.

Arthroscopic Single-Row Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears are challenging to manage. Often, these tears are not amenable to primary repair and necessitate additional treatment options. This is especially true in patients with absent glenohumeral arthritis in the setting of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR), originally described by Mihata using a fascia lata autograft, has grown in popularity for the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears as a salvage option with good clinical outcomes. More recently, SCR techniques have been described using dermal allograft. Biomechanical studies and reported clinical series show promising results, with favorable postoperative clinical outcomes. The procedure, however, may be technically challenging, especially when performed using an all-arthroscopic technique. This article describes an all-arthroscopic technique using a predetermined graft size, unique medial fixation to ease graft passage, and knotless single-row lateral fixation to optimize suture management and efficiency.

Semitendinosus Allograft Cable Reconstruction Technique for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears are difficult to treat. Disruption of the rotator cable and joint capsule leads to altered glenohumeral joint mechanics, superior migration of the humeral head, and limited overhead function. A few graft options exist for reconstruction, with limited outcomes data. A newer technique using a hamstring allograft provides benefits compared with other graft reconstruction options. This Technical Note describes a rotator cable reconstruction using a V-shaped hamstring allograft for treatment of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear.

Long Head Biceps Tendon-Natural Patch for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Despite the development in shoulder surgery, massive irreparable rotator cuff tears still remain challenging for orthopaedic surgeons. Many surgical methods are addressed to this kind of pathology, but each of them has its own limitations. We decided to fuse the ideas of superior capsular reconstruction, "GraftJacket" technique, and partial rotator cuff repair. In this way, the technique using the long head biceps tendon simultaneously as a vascularized bridge between rotator cuff remnants and greater tubercle and as a depressor for the humeral head was created. This Technical Note describes the technique.

Arthroscopic Middle Trapezius Transfer for Treatment of Irreparable Superior Rotator Cuff Tendon Tears.

Project description:Irreparable supraspinatus tendon tears are challenging to treat, especially in a young and high-demanding patient population. Whereas interposition tendon grafting and partial repair are limited by the quality of the remaining rotator cuff tendons and muscles, superior capsular reconstruction and subacromial spacers do not provide the active biomechanical principle of a contracting supraspinatus. The purpose of this technical note is to introduce an arthroscopic middle trapezius transfer below the acromion to replace the former supraspinatus unit. This technique might combine the benefits of both the static concepts seen with subacromial spacers or superior capsular reconstruction and dynamic concepts such as interposition grafting and partial repairs.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Treatment of Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears have been troublesome entities to treat, especially in younger patients. Few good options exist, leaving most patients in recent years receiving a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty carries serious risks, a limited lifespan, and no other viable options should it fail. Recent biomechanical studies have shown that the superior capsule is critical to containing the glenohumeral joint reduced, allowing the larger muscles like the deltoid and pectoralis major to function properly. The superior capsular reconstruction is an anatomic reconstruction of the superior capsule to restore the normal restraint to superior translation that occurs with a deficient rotator cuff. The technique described in this article is an arthroscopic reconstruction of the superior capsule with dermal allograft.

Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer for irreparable rotator cuff tears: a modified technique using arthroscopy.

Project description:Latissimus dorsi transfer is a well-established method for the treatment of posterosuperior massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. We propose using an arthroscopically assisted technique that avoids insult to the deltoid. With the patient in the lateral decubitus position, an L-shaped incision is made along the anterior belly of the latissimus muscle and then along the posterior axillary line. The latissimus and teres major are identified and separated. The tendon insertion of the latissimus is isolated, and a FiberWire traction suture (Arthrex, Naples, FL) is placed, facilitating dissection of the muscle to the thoracodorsal neurovascular pedicle and subsequent mobilization. The interval deep to the deltoid and superficial to the teres minor is developed into a subdeltoid tunnel for arthroscopic tendon transfer. The latissimus tendon is then transferred and stabilized arthroscopically to the lateral aspect of the infraspinatus and supraspinatus footprints by multiple suture anchors.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction Using "Sandwich" Patch Technique for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:The technique of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) using fascia lata autograft, described by Mihata et al. in 2012, has been an acceptable and effective method for treating irreparable massive rotator cuff tears, especially in cases with severe fatty infiltration and tendon retraction. After the SCR procedure of Mihata et al., it was found that some graft failure occurred with thinning and elongation during the follow-up time, which was called graft "creep." To avoid graft creep and reduce graft failure rates after SCR, we created an arthroscopic SCR technique with a "sandwich" patch augmented with polyethylene terephthalate scaffold interspaced between 2 folded layers of fascia lata autograft.

Rooting Rotator Cuff Reconstruction for Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear is encountered quite often in clinical practice. Bridging the tendon defect with various materials is reasonable. However, optimal bridging structures and techniques are still being pursued. We introduce a rotator cuff bridging technique, rooting rotator cuff reconstruction. In this technique, autogenous tendon is used to make grafts. On the medial side, the graft tendons are suspended on the rotator cuff tendon. On the lateral side, the graft tendons are placed into tunnels through the tuberosities. The most critical steps of this technique are properly fabricating the humeral tunnels and suspending the graft tendons onto the rotator cuff tendon. We believe this technique will shed light on rotator cuff reconstruction.

Arthroscopic Partial Repair of Irreparable, Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Several treatment options for chronic, massive rotator cuff tears exist, and they include debridement with possible biceps tenotomy or tenodesis, open or arthroscopic partial repair, muscle or tendon transfer, superior capsule reconstruction, synthetic patch augmentation, and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The aim of this technique article is to describe our preferred surgical option for irreparable, massive rotator cuff tears with an irreparable supraspinatus, a reparable infraspinatus, and an intact or reparable subscapularis tendon.
