Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Using a Subacromial View.

ABSTRACT: As a result of the continued improvement in arthroscopic equipment and techniques, subscapularis tears are now more reliably identified and are being repaired at higher rates than previously reported. Whereas small upper-border subscapularis tears can usually be effectively managed using an intra-articular view, larger tears often cannot be fully visualized with a standard 30° arthroscope when viewed from the posterior portal. These tears may require either using a 70° arthroscope or viewing through the standard 30° arthroscope from a subacromial portal-site location to completely visualize the tear. This article illustrates and discusses the advantages of using a subacromial-space portal site to view and arthroscopically manage large subscapularis tears.

Arthroscopic Single-Portal Subscapularis Tendon Repair.

Project description:Tears of the subscapularis tendon can be challenging to diagnose and treat. Because the subscapularis plays an important role in shoulder function, careful arthroscopic evaluation and treatment are necessary to restore function. Previous surgical techniques have ranged from full open repairs to complex arthroscopic procedures needing suture passer and/or retriever devices. We describe an arthroscopic surgical technique of subscapularis repair through a single anterior portal using only penetrating graspers. This approach can be used for partial upper-border subscapularis tears, as well as complete and retracted subscapularis tendon tears.

Knotless Arthroscopic Repair of Subscapularis Tendon Tears Using Looped Suture.

Project description:Subscapularis tendon tears present a technical challenge because both diagnosis and arthroscopic treatment can be difficult. One difficulty is the limited visualization and working space of the anterior shoulder. Although most tears of the subscapularis are partial- or full-thickness tears of the upper third of the tendon, occasionally, larger or more retracted tears are encountered. Various techniques have been developed to treat a wide variety of tear patterns. We present a simple technique using a looped suture that remains easy to use in the limited working space of the anterior shoulder; can be easily modified to accommodate a broad spectrum of subscapularis pathology, from partial to full and retracted tears; and uses familiar viewing and working portals. This technique creates a single-row, knotless repair. Traction on the superior suture improves visualization and ease of passing more inferior sutures. Risks include unintentional over-tensioning of the repair and medialization of the femoral footprint, which can be avoided with appropriate exposure and arm positioning during repair. Postoperative care includes restriction of external rotation for 3 to 6 weeks and strengthening at 3 months.

Knotless Arthroscopic Repair of Subscapularis Avulsion Fracture Using a Single Anterior Portal.

Project description:Proximal humerus lesser tuberosity avulsions are uncommon injuries; however, when present, they can be debilitating for patients. As such, they pose a unique clinical challenge. These fractures were traditionally treated through an open approach to the proximal humerus; however, arthroscopic techniques continue to evolve and are increasingly used for these types of injuries. We describe our minimally invasive arthroscopic technique to repair lesser tuberosity avulsions using standard arthroscopic equipment. This method is safe, efficient, and applies basic shoulder arthroscopic techniques.

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 Subscapularis Repair Through a Single Anterior Portal.

Project description:Arthroscopic subscapularis repair with knotted suture fixation typically requires use of both anterior and accessory superolateral portals with passage of suture through multiple anatomic spaces. The advent of knotless anchors has allowed for simplification of subscapularis repairs. In this report we describe a simple method of knotless arthroscopic subscapularis repair through a single anterior portal. The indication for a single-anterior portal knotless subscapularis repair is a complete tear of the upper one-third of the subscapularis. This approach can be used for isolated subscapularis repair or, in patients with multiple-tendon involvement, initial subscapularis repair to facilitate subsequent posterosuperior cuff repair.

Biologic Augmentation of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Using Minced Autologous Subacromial Bursa.

Project description:Failure of rotator cuff repair surgery can be attributed to a variety of factors, including insufficient biologic environment to support healing. The subacromial bursal tissue has been shown to have a reservoir of mesenchymal stem cells and is a potential source for biologic augmentation during rotator cuff repair. We have developed a technique to capture the subacromial bursal tissue during subacromial bursectomy and then reimplant the tissue on the bursal surface of the rotator cuff tendon after rotator cuff repair. Our goal is to describe our technique of subacromial tissue collection and reimplantation that obviates the need of suturing a whole sleeve of bursal tissue while improving cell yield for rotator cuff healing.

Arthroscopic recognition and repair of the torn subscapularis tendon.

Project description:Although the subscapularis has historically received less attention than posterosuperior rotator cuff tears, repair of a torn subscapularis tendon is critically important to restoring anatomy and achieving the best functional outcome possible. Arthroscopic repair begins with proper recognition of the tear. A systematic approach can then be used to arthroscopically repair all types of subscapularis tendon tears, from partial tears to full-thickness tears, as well as those which are retracted and have adhesions medially. Subscapularis footprint restoration can be accomplished with a variety of repair techniques that must be matched to the extent of the tear and mobility of the tendon.

Arthroscopic "Panorama" View of the Subacromial Space via Deltoid Fascia Release.

Project description:Proper visualization is of paramount importance during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We propose a technique that significantly improves the visualization of the rotator cuff when viewing from the anterolateral or lateral portals. This "panorama" view is obtained by a release of the deep layer of the deltoid fascia, which in turn increases the space between the humerus and the deltoid muscle. This release increases the volume of the subdeltoid bursa, secondarily increasing the field of view of the subacromial space with the camera viewing from the anterolateral or lateral portals. This technical note describes a new technique useful in obtaining an excellent view of the subacromial space proving very useful in both the diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff pathology.

Arthroscopic Repair of Posterior Bony Bankart Lesion and Subscapularis Remplissage.

Project description:Posterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss has only a fraction of the prevalence of anterior instability. Unlike the latter, there is a paucity of literature regarding the treatment of posterior bony Bankart lesions and even less with concomitant reverse Hill-Sachs lesions. This combination of pathology leads to a difficult situation regarding treatment options. We present our technique for arthroscopic repair of a posterior bony Bankart lesion and reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. The importance of proper portal placement cannot be overstated. By use of the lateral position and strategically placed portals, the posterior bony Bankart lesion and attached labral complex were appropriately mobilized. We reduced the glenoid bone, with the attached capsulolabral complex, to the glenoid rim and performed fixation using a knotless suture anchor. We then placed 2 double-loaded suture anchors into the reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. The sutures were passed creating horizontal mattress configurations that were tied at the end of the procedure, effectively externalizing the humeral head defect. Our technique results in satisfactory fragment reduction, as well as appropriate capsular tension, and effectively prevents the reverse Hill-Sachs lesion from engaging.

Biological Augmentation With Subacromial Bursa in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:Rotator cuff tears can be associated with significant shoulder dysfunction and pain. Despite improved surgical techniques and new materials for rotator cuff reconstruction, there is no significant reduction in the re-rupture rate. Innovative approaches for enhanced tendon healing are required. The potential of biologically optimized tendon integration has probably been insufficiently explored so far. The existing practice of debridement might eliminate repair tissue and a major source of cells and blood vessels necessary for tendon healing. Biological augmentation may be an option to improve the healing process. The subacromial bursa is a highly proliferative tissue with mesenchymal stem cells capable of differentiating into various cell lines and is easily accessible during rotator cuff repair. We describe the technique of bursal augmentation in arthroscopic double-row SutureBridge repair of a posterosuperior rotator cuff tear with the aim of improving tendon-to-bone healing.
