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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Dynamic Biceps Rerouting for Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Irreparable posterior-superior rotator cuff tear (IPSRCT) is a common clinical condition. Many methods of transfer of the long head of the biceps (LHB) have been developed to augment the shoulder superiorly, with the best method using the LHB still being pursued. In this article, we introduce a special method using the LHB to address IPSRCT: arthroscopic dynamic LHB rerouting. The main steps of this technique include opening the native bicipital groove, creating a new bicipital groove through the greater tuberosity, rerouting the LHB into the new bicipital groove without LHB fixation, and side-to-side rotator cuff repair over the LHB. Our clinical experience indicates this technique can be easily and safely performed according to certain guidelines. We think the introduction of this technique will bring special insight to superior shoulder augmentation in case of IPSRCT.

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 Capsule Reconstruction Technique in the Setting of a Massive, Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears are challenging to treat and associated with pain and severe limitation in shoulder elevation due to the proximal migration of the humeral head and, consequently, subacromial impingement. Furthermore, retraction of the tendons in combination with fat infiltration and muscular weakness results in unpredictable treatment outcomes. While conservative treatment may be warranted for low-demand patients, surgical treatment is often indicated for a successful return to activities of daily living as well as an improved quality of life. The reported failure rate of rotator cuff repair for the treatment of a massive rotator cuff tear varies. However, this failure is often found at the interface between the tendon and tendon footprint. Several techniques have been reported to address this pathology, including muscular transfer, arthroscopic debridement, augmentation procedures, and superior capsule reconstruction. In particular, superior capsule reconstruction has been reported as a safe and effective method to treat a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique of a superior capsule reconstruction for the treatment of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear.

Cable Graft: Simple Superior Capsule Reconstruction Technique for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tear Using a Teflon Patch.

Project description:We describe a simple superior capsule reconstruction technique for irreparable rotator cuff tear using a Teflon patch. In this technique, a triple-folded Teflon patch, suture tape, and a strong suture penetrating through the graft are fixed to the glenoid and greater tuberosity using a suture anchor. This allows for reconstruction of the superior capsule while simultaneously playing a role as a spacer. This procedure's greatest advantage is its simplicity; it is easy to perform, has a short operative time, and avoids the need to collect autologous tissue. More time is saved, as suturing and tying are not required. We believe our study could aid orthopaedic surgeons in clinical decision-making when encountering irreparable rotator cuff repairs.

Arthroscopic Humeral Bone Tunnel-Based Tendon Grafting and Trapezius Transfer for Irreparable Posterior Superior Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Irreparable posterior rotator cuff tears pose challenges to orthopaedic surgeons, especially when the medial remaining rotator cuff is not reusable. Trapezius transfer is biomechanically favorable due to the similar vector of the transferred muscle to the native posterior superior rotator cuff. Regarding combined tendon grafting in trapezius transfer, onto-surface tendon attachment to the humerus was reported in most previous reports. For better tendon-humeral head connection, we introduce an humeral bone tunnel-based tendon grafting technique. In this technique, we use the hamstring tendons and the anterior half of the peroneus tendon to make 3 grafts. The most critical steps of this technique are the proper creation of the humeral tunnels and graft implantation. We consider the introduction of this technique will shed light in the field of trapezius transfer for Irreparable posterior rotator cuff tears.

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).

Superior Capsular Reconstruction With Superimposition of Rotator Cuff Repair for Massive Rotator Cuff Tear.

Project description:Massive rotator cuff tears are particularly challenging to treat and severely limit the function of the shoulder. Compared with a small rotator cuff tear, massive tears are more unpredictable and usually present with low tendon quality. When performing an anatomical repair of the rotator cuff, the surgical treatment is often associated with failure of the construct. An alternative procedure that can be performed in the setting of a massive tear is superior capsular reconstruction (SCR), using an autograft or allograft. This procedure has been shown to be effective and is associated with positive treatment outcomes. Moreover, the combination of an SCR with an anatomic repair of the rotator cuff tendon may provide a stronger fixation for the rotator cuff and ultimately lead to a lower likelihood of retear and failure. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred procedure for the treatment of a massive rotator cuff tear through SCR with superimposition of the repair of the native rotator cuff tendons.

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.

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.

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.
