Rotator Cuff Anterior Cable Reconstruction With Long Head of Biceps Tendon Autograft.

ABSTRACT: Rotator cuff tears with anterior cable disruption show a more detrimental natural history than tears with an intact cable. Anterior cable reconstruction in the setting of such tears provides a potential avenue to improve tissue quality of the repaired construct and enhance repair longevity. Cadaveric studies investigating anterior cable reconstruction have shown biomechanical advantages. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique for rotator cuff anterior cable reconstruction using long head of the biceps tendon autograft in the setting of repairable large-to-massive rotator cuff tears with poor anterior cable tissue quality.

Anterior Cable Reconstruction Using the Proximal Biceps Tendon for Large Rotator Cuff Defects.

Project description:Tears of the rotator cuff tendons can occur that do not allow anatomic footprint restoration yet may not be large enough to require a superior capsular reconstruction technique. Typically, these intermediate-sized tears are addressed with a medialized repair or partial repair technique. A partially repaired rotator cuff tendon, however, can lead to a high retear rate, as the repaired tendon is required to serve as both a dynamic tendon and a static ligamentous stabilizer. One potential static support, as a nearby autologous graft donor, is the proximal long head biceps tendon. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a surgical technique for an anterior cable reconstruction using the proximal biceps tendon for large rotator cuff defects.

Anterior Cable Reconstruction Using the Biceps Tendon in Retracted Anterior L-Shaped Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Repair of a retracted anterior L-shaped rotator cuff tear is challenging because of the lack of mobilization of the torn tendon and destruction of the rotator cable. Restoring the anterior rotator cable decreases gap formation of the repaired tendon, leading to maintenance of the repair integrity of the anterior supraspinatus tendon. This Technical Note introduces the surgical technique of anterior cable reconstruction using the proximal biceps tendon for a retracted anterior L-shaped rotator cuff tear.

Biceps Smash Technique: Biceps Tendon Autograft Augmentation for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Reconstruction.

Project description:The proportion of postoperative retears after arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction remains constant despite advancement of suture techniques and improved anchor implants. The commonly degenerative nature of rotator cuff tears can carry the risk of compromised tissue. Several techniques have been developed to biologically enhance rotator cuff repair, and a considerable number of autologous, allogeneic, and xenogenous augmentation methods have been described. This article introduces the biceps smash technique, an arthroscopic augmentation procedure for posterosuperior rotator cuff reconstruction using an autograft patch of the long head of the biceps tendon.

Using the Long Head of Biceps Tendon Autograft as an Anatomical Reconstruction of the Rotator Cable: An Arthroscopic Technique for Patients With Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:The treatment of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT) is challenging. Insufficient tissue quality, size, and retraction of the cuff often lead to failures of repair. Different techniques like direct repair, partial repair, and graft applications have been developed, but results are not yet predictable. In this arthroscopic technique the objective is not to reconstruct the rotator cuff as a tissue layer but to restore the biomechanical function of the rotator cable with an autograft of the long head of the biceps tendon. After glenohumeral inspection, the long head of the biceps tendon is harvested and the retracted cuff is released and, if possible, closed partially side-to-side. The biceps graft is positioned from the posterior aspect of the greater tubercle to the superior part of the lesser tubercle and fixed with 2 biotenodesis anchors. Finally, the cuff remnants are securely sutured to the biceps graft with standard cuff repair sutures. This arthroscopic technique has several advantages because the biceps autograft is easily harvested, autologous, and rich in collagen. Previous studies show use of the biceps tendon differently for reconstruction of the rotator cuff, with promising results. Future studies are needed to evaluate clinical outcomes.

Consider Long Head of Biceps Tendon for Reconstruction of Massive, Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Despite the different treatment options for irreparable and massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs), there is no optimal treatment. Thirty percent of total RCTs can be classified as irreparable because of the massive tear size and severe muscle atrophy. The reported treatment failure rate is approximately 40% for massive RCTs. RCTs may be treated conservatively or surgically depending on pain, disability, and functional demands. The surgical treatment options are many, but decision making is a challenge; the real challenge is to apply the correct procedure for the correct indication in each patient. The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) was used for augmentation to bridge the gap in immobile, massive RCTs. An arthroscopic biceps-incorporating technique was used for repair of large and massive RCTs, avoiding undue tension on the rotator cuff (RC). Recently, the LHBT was used for superior capsular reconstruction. This article describes the use of the LHBT for reconstruction of massive and irreparable RCTs through the following steps: (1) open exposure of the RCT, (2) debridement and subacromial decompression, (3) biceps tenotomy at the LHBT's origin on the glenoid, (4) LHBT and RC cuff mobilization, (5) passage of the LHBT through the mobilized RC and reflection onto itself, (6) tuberoplasty, and (7) fixation of the RC complex at the RC footprint.

Free biceps tendon autograft to augment arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Project description:Arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs have become the standard of treatment for all sizes of tears over the past several years. Current healing rates reported in the literature are quite good, but improving the healing potential of rotator cuff repairs remains a challenging problem. There has been an increase recently in the use of augmentation of rotator cuff repairs with xenografts or synthetics for large and massive tears. Biceps tenodesis is often indicated as part of the treatment plan while one is performing rotator cuff surgery. A subpectoral biceps tenodesis provides a source of autograft to augment rotator cuff repairs of all sizes. Two techniques are presented to augment rotator cuff repairs with a free biceps tendon autograft. This is a novel idea in an attempt to improve healing rates and long-term results of rotator cuff repairs of all sizes.

Anterior Capsular Reconstruction With Proximal Biceps Tendon for Large to Massive Rotator Cuff Tears.

Project description:Massive rotator cuff tears (RCT) have traditionally been a challenging clinical problem for shoulder surgeons. A broad variety of treatment options have been proposed to address this problem, but outcomes have been as variable as the techniques themselves. Superior capsular reconstruction has been presented as a way to restore the restraining effect of the superior joint capsule and balanced force couples in massive tears of the superior rotator cuff. The purpose of this article is to propose a technical modification of the superior capsular reconstruction in large to massive RCT, and, especially in anterior L-shaped RCT, using the long head of the biceps tendon autograft to reinforce the weakest area of the anterior capsule, not as an augmentation of the rotator cuff, but as a static stabilizer of the humeral head, allowing the rotator cuff repair to heal without tension.

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.

Shoulder Long Head Biceps Tendon Pathology Is Associated With Increasing Rotator Cuff Tear Size.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the association between rotator cuff tear (RCT) size and long head biceps tendon (LHBT) pathology.MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled 202 consecutive patients (114 women and 88 men with mean age at surgery of 62.14 years [SD, 7.73]) who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for different sized full-thickness RCTs. LHBT pathology was evaluated considering the presence of inflammation, section alteration, loss of integrity, dislocation, dynamic instability, and absence. The site of LHBT pathology was evaluated considering 3 portions: (1) the insertional element; (2) the free intra-articular portion; (3) the part that enters the intertubercular groove. Statistics were evluated.ResultsThe LHBT was absent in 22 cases (10.9%): 2, 4, 15, and 1 patients with small, large, massive, and subscapularis RCTs, respectively. A significant correlation was found between the prevalence of LHBT absence and massive RCTs (P < .001). In 53 patients (26%), there was a healthy LHBT; a healthy LHBT was present in 47%, 20% and 8% of small, large and massive RCTs, respectively. A significant correlation between LHBT inflammation, section alteration, loss of integrity, and RCT severity was found (P < .001, P < .001, and ). The insertional portion was the most involved (57% of cases); RCT severity was significantly associated with the number of involved portions (P < .001).ConclusionsShoulder LHBT pathology is associated with increasing rotator cuff tear size.Clinical relevanceSurgeons should be aware that biceps pathology is particularly prevalent in patients with larger RTCs.

Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Double Bundle of Long Head Biceps Tendon Autograft: The "Box" Technique.

Project description:The superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) is an arthroscopic surgical technique recently introduced as an effective solution to restore the defect of superior articular capsule in massive rotator cuff tears that cannot be repaired anatomically. The SCR retains static stability and inhibits the proximal humeral migration, thereby optimizing the force couples about the shoulder. In this surgical technique paper, we present our technique of SCR using a double bundle construct of long head of biceps tendon, called the "box" technique. It is always combined with partial rotator cuff repair.
