All-Arthroscopic Muscle Slide and Advancement Technique to Repair Massive Retracted Posterosuperior Rotator Cuff Tears.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Symptomatic massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears without glenohumeral joint arthritis and chronic medial retraction often are deemed "irreparable." These patients often are treated with alternative joint-sparing procedures including superior capsular reconstruction or tendon transfer procedures. Open and arthroscopic-assisted muscle advancement techniques allow maximal lateral tendon mobilisation during rotator cuff repair. In this report, we present an all-arthroscopic technique of complete supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle scapular detachment and advancement in retracted massive posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. This allows for an anatomical tendon footprint reduction and tension-free repair.
