Arthroscopic Single-Portal Subscapularis Tendon Repair.

ABSTRACT: 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.

Single Portal Technique for Subscapularis Tendon Repair.

Project description:The fast and steady development of arthroscopy techniques in the last couple of decades led to a drastic increase of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs over the open procedure. Supraspinatus tears are the most common of all, but the subscapularis tendon tear is a more common injury than expected. Most of the time it presents as a partial tear or is associated with a subsequent rotator cuff tendon injury, especially the supraspinatus. Nowadays, the standard procedure to repair the subscapularis tendon is performed arthroscopically, even though a real superior result over the open repair it is yet to be reported. Ideally less operative time, less scarring, and postoperative pain would be the expected benefits, but no study has compared the long-term outcome of these 2 procedures yet. To maximize possible improvements, we would like to present an arthroscopic technique: a subscapularis tendon repair performed with the aid of an angled suture passer and using a single anterior working portal.

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.

Arthroscopic Knotless Repair of Complete Full-Thickness Tears of the Subscapularis Tendon Through a Single Portal.

Project description:Arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tendon tears has shown to be a reliable and reproducible technique and is now considered the gold standard method over open repair. However, most arthroscopic techniques use several working portals and the procedure can be technically challenging and time-consuming, especially when knot-tying is required and when multiple anchors are used. Recently, single-portal knotless techniques have been popularized for upper-third lesions (e.g. Lafosse type 1 or 2 tears). Here, we describe a technique of repairing complete tears of the subscapularis tendon (Lafosse type 3 and 4) using knotless suture anchors through a single portal. This technique is quick and allows a safe anatomic footprint repair to the lesser tuberosity.

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Tendon Repair Using the Lasso-Loop Technique Through Anterolateral Viewing Portal.

Project description:The subscapularis is the strongest muscle among the rotator cuff muscles, and it provides a coupled balanced force across the glenohumeral joint by resisting the infraspinatus in axial plane and the shearing force of deltoid in the coronal plane. It is important to repair subscapularis tears to maintain the coupled balanced force. Subscapularis tendon tears are difficult to diagnose and treat. Only a small portion of the subscapularis tendon is visualized during routine arthroscopy, as it is largely covered by the middle and inferior glenohumeral ligaments. Various repair techniques have been described in the literature. Here, we describe the anterolateral viewing portal for better visualization of subscapularis and our preferred technique, the lasso-loop technique, which provides better tissue grip and improved functional outcome.

Arthroscopic Single Portal, Single Anchor Knotless Subscapularis Repair with Concomitant Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon.

Project description:Anterior shoulder pathology involving the subscapularis is often associated with the biceps tendon because both anatomic structures intersect the lesser tuberosity. Standard procedures for such pathology often involve simultaneous subscapularis repairs and biceps tenodesis. Single anterior portal subscapularis repairs have been emerging in the past 5 years because of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Biceps tenodesis is a common procedure performed both open and arthroscopically. This technique takes advantage of the close relation between the long head of the biceps tendon and subscapularis tendon to restore the functional length-tension relation and preserve function through fixation using a single portal and a single knotless suture anchor.

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.

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.

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.

Arthroscopic Repair of an Isolated Subscapularis Tendon Rupture in an Adolescent Patient.

Project description:Arthroscopic repair of an isolated subscapularis tendon rupture has been previously described in the adult population; however, the technique has yet to be described in a pediatric patient. In this Technical Note, we describe an arthroscopic repair of an isolated subscapularis tendon rupture with concomitant mini-open suprapectoral biceps tenodesis in an adolescent patient. Standard anterior and posterior portals are established with an accessory portal in the anterosuperior angle of the acromion. A 0-PDS suture is used to pass strands of suture tape through the inferolateral and superolateral aspects of the subscapularis tendon. Suture tape is passed through a suture anchor and the accessory portal and is fixated at the junction of the inferior one-third and superior two-thirds of the subscapularis tendon footprint and at the junction of the superior one-third and inferior two-thirds of the subscapularis tendon footprint. Following subscapularis tendon fixation, biceps tenodesis is performed through either a mini-open subpectoral or arthroscopic suprapectoral approach. This described technique allows for full visualization of the subscapularis tendon and lesser tuberosity. Additionally, this technique allows for accurate placement of suture anchors to maximize footprint coverage and appropriate graft tensioning.

Arthroscopic Subscapularis Repair Using a Subacromial View.

Project description: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.
