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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

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.

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 Superior Capsular Reconstruction for Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Repair.

Project description:We have been performing arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with acellular dermal allograft for almost 2 years. Our techniques are based on Mihata's original concept for SCR, in which he used fascia lata autograft. In this report, we describe our standard arthroscopic technique as well as 2 variations of a "zip-line" technique, which we have found particularly useful for large dermal allografts (grafts that are ≥40 mm in any dimension).

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Acellular Porcine Dermal Xenograft for the Treatment of Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes and the complications related to arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) with acellular porcine dermal xenograft for the treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff tears.MethodsA prospective observational study of patients treated with arthroscopic SCR for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears in the period from 2016 to 2017 was performed. Range of motion and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) scores were assessed preoperatively, at 6 months postoperatively, and at 12 months postoperatively.ResultsA total of 20 shoulders in 19 patients, with an average age of 60 years, were included in the study. Twelve patients met the criterion for the minimal clinically important difference in the SPADI score. The mean SPADI score showed significant improvement from 51.3% to 10.4% at 1-year follow-up. Active abduction improved from 65.4° to 149.3° and active forward flexion improved from 68.6° to 151.4° at 1-year follow-up. The procedure had a 30% complication rate, including a 15% rate of immunologic rejection of the xenograft. Five patients underwent revision procedures, including arthroscopic debridement and removal of xenograft residuals, implantation of a balloon spacer, and revision SCR with a fascia lata autograft.ConclusionsArthroscopic SCR with an acellular porcine dermal xenograft led to a successful outcome in 60% of cases. The procedure showed a quite high complication rate; the most severe cases were related to acute immunologic rejection of the xenograft.Level of evidenceLevel IV, case series.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction and Over-the-Top Rotator Cuff Repair Incorporation for Treatment of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive rotator cuff tears pose significant clinical and surgical challenges for orthopaedic surgeons and increased morbidity to the patient. Left untreated, this pathology can lead to inability to perform daily activities, weakness, pain, and eventual cuff tear arthropathy. Several treatment options exist for irreparable cuff tears, such as reverse shoulder arthroplasty and tendon transfers. However, there exists significant concern for high complication rates and unpredictable clinical outcomes following such treatments. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) represents a viable alternative in treating irreparable cuff tears, providing biomechanical stability and improving pain related to this pathology by reducing superior humeral instability and subacromial impingement. Over-the-top repair of the native rotator cuff tendons with incorporation of the SCR allograft may provide surgeons the opportunity to perform a robust repair in situations where arthroplasty or other more invasive procedures were once the only options. The authors present a surgical technique with associated pearls and pitfalls for their preferred procedure of SCR with incorporation of the native rotator cuff in transosseous equivalent double-row repair for the treatment of massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction with Achilles Tendon Allograft for Massive and Revision Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCT) in younger and active patients remain a significant clinical challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has been presented as a way to restore the restraining effect of the superior joint capsule and the balanced force couples necessary for dynamic shoulder function; furthermore, it does not exclude future treatment options. The purpose of this article is to show a technical modification of the SCR in massive and revision RCT using Achilles tendon allograft as an effective static restraint to prevent superior migration of the humeral head due to its thickness and robustness, and performing a side-to-side repair on the greater tuberosity between the graft and the residual infraspinatus tendon to completely restore the superior stability of the shoulder joint.

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.

Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in a "Functional Biologic Augmentation" Technique to Treat Massive Atrophic Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Surgical treatment of patients with massive rotator cuff tears is unpredictable because of a low healing rate and high incidence of clinical failure. Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction has emerged as a promising technique in treating younger, active patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. Superior capsular insufficiency has been theorized to be a factor in the higher failure rate for repairs of massive tears, and there have been proposals of superior capsular repair in addition to rotator cuff repair to facilitate better healing of massive rotator cuff tears. This article presents our technique of functional rotator cuff augmentation, which is concomitant superior capsular reconstruction with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, to treat massive, atrophic rotator cuff tears. This technique is used in patients with massive rotator cuff tears and superior capsular insufficiency.

Arthroscopic Single Lateral Row Repair Technique for Small Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Small symptomatic rotator cuff tears are a common problem seen by orthopaedic surgeons. Arthroscopic repair has been shown to have favorable outcomes for these lesions. There is as yet no consensus on the ideal technique for the arthroscopic repair of small rotator cuff tears. We present a single lateral row technique for the repair of such lesions, which we believe to be reproducible and effective, that achieves good approximation of the tear while reducing the chance of suture cutouts.
